Forums - Nintendo Discussion - What's next for amiibo, Kirby?

Noticed people are discussing what's next for amiibo, and it is quite obviously Kirby. Earlier this month Kirby's Rainbow Curse cover came out, and it already sports the amiibo icon. Only game so far to have the amiibo sticker on its retail package has been Smash, none were seen on Mario Kart or even on the latest Captain Toad release. The latter should get its amiibo functionally in an update.

So what does this mean? Will Kirby have Amiibo support right out of the box just like Smash or will it also include "write" functionality spawning a new set of Kirby figurines?

nvm, i think you're referring to what next game that will use amiibo.  Yea Kirby could be next.  Mario Party 10 will use it as well.

Yeah, I was too quick there, saw your edit afterwards; so I changed my title as well.

What I meant was that Kirby could be the next amiibo series, the figurines, not the compatible titles.

I think it'd be cool if there were some Splatoon amiibos.



I can see smash bro amiibo used as power ups. Like scanning a Mario amiibo will give Kirby the fire power up and Pikachu will give him the electricity power up.



Wouldn't doubt it. I would be surprised if they didnt have amiibo for that Kirby game

That wouldn't be a bad option to have out of the box, but I was hoping to see the release of a new Amiibo series.

I still wanna know what the amiibo functionality will be for Captain Toad. Nintendo needs to release a Captain Toad and Adventure Toadette amiibo too. Maybe Shyguy too.
