[Update: Nintendo of America has clarified that the previous dates were for Japan, and that the US release would take place in February 2015 for all the figures. And a new video, too!]

Original Article:

Nintendo definitely seems to have a plan for regular rollout of amiibo figures. The company just announced eleven more figures arriving in January and February to join their existing lineup of eighteen, bringing the total to twenty-nine.

The new figures are notable for including the first third party characters to the platform, Mega Man and Sonic. If the figures continue to be related to Super Smash Bros, then Pac-Man and others can’t be far behind. The game currently has an astounding FIFTY ONE characters, which should keep regular updates possible for the company. I just want the Koopa Kids and Duck Hunt Dog.

Coming January 22:

  • Bowser
  • Toon Link
  • Ike
  • King DeDeDe
  • Lucario
  • Meta Knight
  • Rosalina (and Luma)
  • Sheik

February:

  • Mega Man
  • Sonic
  • Shulk

These join the already announced amiibo, which include Mario, Zelda, Captain Falcon and others. Click here for the full lineup.
