amiibo Check In! #1 E3 2016 6/29/16

So on E3 2016, Nintendo announced some new amiibo for the Super Mario Series Line, but the way they announced it at first with the Waluigi amiibo was really random but funny. Twitter user @midnight , (link to their Twitter page: https://twitter.com/midnight), asked Nintendo, ".@NintendoAmerica Next year Santa will have Waluigi Amiibos for us all, right?" and Nintendo responded, ".@midnight Yup.". After that Nintendo followed up with announcing the rest of the amiibo for the Super Mario Line, which are Wario, the previously mentioned Waluigi, Daisy, Rosalina, Boo, Donkey Kong, and Diddy Kong.

This new wave of amiibo are will be the first appearance of Waluigi, Daisy and Boo, as amiibo, and fun fact: the Boo amiibo is actually glow in the dark, so that's a cool touch. There has been no information on what the actual amiibo will do in Mario Party: Star Rush as of yet, so stay tune for future updates. All these amiibo will be compatible with Mario Party: Star Rush and will launch on November 4, 2016.

Along side that, Nintendo also announced new amiibo for the upcoming Zelda game, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. These amiibo include Link (Archer), Guardian, and Link (Rider).

These amiibo are set to release in 2017, presumably in March 2017 when the game releases on Wii U and NX. No word on what they will actually do in game yet, so stay tune for more details. But at the Nintendo Treehouse, they did confirm what the Wolf Link amiibo will do, when you tap the amiibo on the Wii U game pad, Wolf Link will appear and help you fight enemies and kill animals for food.

With that Nintendo showed off more amiibo stands where you can place your amiibo in style. These new displays are the Fire Bar stand, where you can wind up the fire bar and it'll spin. The second is the Master Sword Stand, this one plays music when you pull the Master Sword out, the song it plays is the song of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time when Link pulls the Master Sword out of its pedestal. Finally the Classic Donkey Kong display, which unlike the previously mentioned amiibo stands, can hold up to Nine amiibo while the others only hold One. The Fire Bar Stand and the Master Sword Stand will sell for $14.99, and the Classic Donkey Kong Stand will sell for $19.99, and all of them will be available on July 28, 2016, but of course you can pre-order them on Amazon.

That's pretty much all the news on amiibo this past E3, what did you think, are amiibo going to shine and bring new gameplay features or will they continue to dump and just more plastic collecting dust on your shelf? Will like to here your thoughts in the comments. Don't forget to stay tune for more amiibo news and other gaming related topics.
