Pokken Tournament to support all existing Amiibo

11According to Nintendo’s official Amiibo page, the upcoming Pokken Tournament will have extensive Amiibo support, rather than simply using Pokemon-themed units.

While launch copies of the game will include a special edition Shadow Mewtwo Amiibo card, used to unlock character bonuses in-game, your existing Amiibo collection can be used to unlock in-game items. No specification on what those items will be, but it’s safe to assume they’ll give some sort of cosmetic bonus, similar to those seen in last year’s Super Mario Maker.

With the game launching on March 18, we’re bound to find out more specifics soon enough. But for now it’s good to see that all of those pricey statuettes will have a use outside of their respective games and Smash Bros.
