Way back when Mario Party 10 came out, Nintendo teased that there would be more Super Mario Amiibo including characters like Waluigi and Rosalina. That was quite a long time ago now and to everyone’s surprise, Super Mario Amiibo have resurfaced! Nintendo has announced that seven new Amiibo are coming out on November 4th! The characters to be released are:
Wario
Waluigi
Daisy
Rosalina
Boo
Donkey Kong
Diddy Kong
It is exciting to get new characters like Waluigi, Boo, and Daisy in this new wave, but I love how Diddy Kong and Wario fit their characters better than the Smash brothers Amiibo do. I think making these Amiibo different from what they previously released is very smart by Nintendo. While there are plenty of Amiibo collectors who don’t collect World of Nintendo, it is also interesting how these Amiibo more or less are the same as some World of Nintendo figures (Waluigi is basically in the exact pose as he comes in World of Nintendo). The problem for World of Nintendo is that these Amiibo look higher quality and I know I will gladly replace mine with the Amiibo. If you’re interested, these Amiibo are already up for preorder on Amazon and I’m sure other major retailers will follow suit soon. I don’t know if we’ll get any more Amiibo announcements or not, but Nintendo has definitely exceeded any expectations I had for E3. What do you think of the new Super Mario Amiibo? Which ones will you buy or skip?

New Amiibo figures coming to the Super Mario Series bringing the collection up to 13 (not including the 2 limited editions Mario’s). Our Figure man Kuribo explains all.

Finally! I’m most excited for Daisy, Waluigi, and glow-in-the-dark Boo!

I think a lot of people are excited about Daisy too. I actually hadn’t heard that Boo is glow in the dark when I posted this, have you seen any pictures of what it looks like? It could be really cool if it is bright enough!

Unfortunately, I’m not sure anyone has any pictures of it glowing in the dark. However, it has indeed been reported that it does glow in the dark, according to other major news sites.

Interesting and hopefully we’ll see some pictures soon! From what I saw, Boo pre-orders sold out first on Amazon so I’d say a lot of people are interested in getting him!

I probably should pre-order, but with how easy it has been to get Amiibo, I tend to wait until we get close to the release date and then pre-order because Amiibo are so easy to get compared to the early releases where I had to camp out for each wave. One of these times that will end up biting me!

Right, I only preorder if I know I want it, and if it seems like they could sell out, like Boo possibly. But for some of these repeat newer ones, I just see if they’re at the store, if there’s some sale going on, and decide from there.

It is a good plan because I’ve heard some Toys R Us are running 2 Amiibo for $20 which I would have liked to have used when I bought my Kirby Amiibo. Too late now!
