We're at the point where I need to start writing 2021. 2021. 2021. 2020 is behind us! And I will for sure write "2020" at some point in January. Best to start practicing now. In 2021 (nailed it) there are more amiibo coming. Can you believe...

Saturday's "Steve & Alex" presentation on the next DLC fighter for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate certainly had a lot of interesting moments in it. I personally think the way Sakurai incorporated the Minecraft bunch into the game ...

Can you believe that the four Zelda: Breath of the Wild Champion amiibo (Daruk, Urbosa, Mipha, Revali) came out in November of 2017? It's true, we tracked it all here! Since then getting restocks has been a pain, like most figures more...

I know what you're thinking: "all these Nintendo announcements this morning and no amiibo?!" Well, maybe that was my reaction. It turns out, though, that Nintendo heard my pleas after all. In a post-Direct tweet, Nintendo of America confirm...

It's always amazing to witness how much raw talent the Zelda community brings to the table. I see it on a regular basis! But this duo of fan-made Guardian amiibo really stands out in this crowded month of great fan creations. Markelang...

It's safe to say that amiibo are very much a "hate it or love it" affair. You probably gave up in 2015. I don't blame you! But for those of you who are still faithful, I know your inner pain and outer joy. There's still plenty of amiibo to ...

Smash Ultimate is kicking off 2020 right with its Melee tournament, and now that this past weekend is over and done with, it's time for the new hotness. This weekend Nintendo is getting even wackier, taking the focus off of player...

Roll call for amiibo! Although these wretched toys are slowing down considerably in terms of buzz and sales, there's still a lot of amiibo coming on the horizon. Long term we still need pretty much every DLC character, and there's some hole...
