Gameranx: "Of the first, only Mario, Yoshi, Peach, and Donkey Kong will work."
A new list goes over eight of the the most useless amiibo, ranging from the Shadow Mewtwo card to the Qbby figure.
VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "10 years. It’s been almost 10 years since the last mainline release in the Mario Kart series. Mario Kart 8 came out for the Wii U in 2014 and became the best-selling game for the system by a sizeable margin, and later pulled the same magic trick on the Nintendo Switch under the stage name Deluxe. All in all, it's sold nearly 70 million copies over the last decade and is still selling like hot cakes to this day, so it’s no wonder Nintendo has been in no rush to replace it. However, with rumors of a new system being just around the corner, and reports a few years back that a new Mario Kart is indeed under way, it seems the era of 8 might very well be drawing to a close. It’s an exciting prospect to be sure, but after two Nintendo systems with Mario Kart 8 at their heart, a lot of questions remain about how Nintendo will choose to follow it up."
I hope they just keep building on Mario Kart 8; Add a track-creation tool, and probably open it up to more Nintendo IPs with new tracks and characters, so Metroid, Punch Out, Starfox, Animal Crossing, etc etc.
there wont be a new one until the switch 2 comes out.
nintendo needs their bangers early on
Joker, Banjo and Kazooie, and Terry amiibo restock for Super Smash Bros. on the way with pre-orders now open.
Considering the others aren't in the game, it makes sense. Villager and Link will likely be compatible once DLC packs hit.
I have to get the Mario figure first. Not only am I the biggest Mario nerd, but it will probably be compatible with the most games. Mario is the main mascot of Nintendo after all. That and I think the Mario figure is one of the best looking figures.
What do they do in Mario Kart 8?
Is there any information out yet on what the actual function of Amiibo's are in Mario Kart 8?
