Do we know if it supports the Super Game Boy? I may have to pick one of these up...

Well I have been wanting a new case, this may be a way to save some money... $149?! Maybe not

Huh, Peach is fully static? In Japan the toy spins, as shown in their oh so Japan advert. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0OlqQIURbX4 Also Japan got all 8 of these and 4 more...

@NintendoEan Rumor isn't how I'd put it, it's either a leak or a mistake. Either way it is not confirmed and I think that's the answer you're after here.

The Breath of the Wild Link Archer, Link Rider and Guardian amiibo do not have a fixed release date yet.

The four Zelda series amiibo we saw in the latest Nintendo Direct are releasing on December 2nd, 2016 - these are the three Links (original NES title, Ocarina of Time and Wind Waker) and Zelda (Wind Waker) amiibo.

@Oubie Personally, yes.

@NintendoEan The Wolf Link amiibo was released alongside Twilight Princess HD earlier this year.

@rjejr I'm going off the most recent information we have regarding the launch plans of Breath of the Wild.

I'm not denying your point: plans change, games get delayed. I get it, I've experienced it time and time again from Nintendo (not mentioning different companies, they're not relevant to this discussion).

I stand by the notion that the Breath of the Wild amiibo will not release before the Breath of the Wild game itself.

The March 4th, 2017 date is probably a placeholder copy/pasted from the Twilight Princess HD Wolf Link amiibo release date as the article suggests.

I don't get why you're ragging on me for using a Tweet, it isn't some random fan account, this is official PR from the company, and just for verification, NoA and NCL (Japan) all posted it too. Just because the media doesn't suit you, doesn't make it less credible.

@NintendoEan Someone probably copied and pasted the date from the Wolf Link amiibo but changed the year to use it as a placeholder. However the information is still on Nintendo's website.

@MrGawain That with your profile pic made my day XD

@rjejr Nintendo UK already confirmed Wii U and NX versions of Breath of the Wild would launch at the same time. I linked to their tweet above.

@MarcelRguez Correct, but Nintendo confirmed Wii U and NX versions coming simultaneously (at the same time). So if Wii U Breath of the Wild comes March 4th, NX version comes March 4th too, and well... we need the console to play that NX version too. Unless NX launches March 1st-3rd, I don't see how it isn't a Day 1 title.

@Grumblevolcano They probably figured it would market better alongside Star Fox Zero, but the amiibo was primarily for Super Smash Bros. otherwise they probably would have delayed that too.

These are Breath of the Wild amiibo first and foremost, whereas Falco shipped in a Smash Bros. styled boxed but also worked with SFZ.

Think about it, when has any amiibo launched with 0 game uses available day 1?

@Grumblevolcano Falco was for Smash Bros. though.

@Spoony_Tech Nintendo UK tweet from April 27th, 2016:

"The new Legend of #Zelda will be the focus of #E3 2016. It will launch simultaneously on both Wii U and NX in 2017"

I'm going all in. Simultaneous worldwide launch of NX on March 4th, 2017. Japan got both the Wii U and 3DS on a Saturday so if there was to be a worldwide launch, I imagine it would fall on a Saturday.

Hadn't considered the Twilight Princess HD release date being exactly a year before however and there are no other undated amiibo to compare it to.

Actually, Zelda U was announced during the January 2013 Nintendo Direct...
