The 12 characters available in the first round of Amiibo are Princess Peach, Donkey Kong, Star Fox, Kirby, Link, Mario, Marth, Pikachu, Samus, the Animal Crossing Villager, the Wii Fit Trainer, and Yoshi. All are currently available for pre-order at both stores. Additional characters are in the works and should be announced later.
Each Amiibo costs $12.99, with 12 available in the first wave that means you will pay around $160 depending on tax charges. The store pages also showed off the beautiful packaging that Nintendo has put together for each of the Amiibo. Take a look through the gallery above, or head to the store pages linked here and here. As far as when you will actually get your hands on the figures, that is still not totally clear.
Amiibo will be cutomizable, letting you alter their stats and level them up through gameplay. To use your Amiibo you simply tap them against the Wii U Gamepad and the game will do the rest. The 3DS is a bit more complicated, requiring an additional peripheral which is currently not available. The “New” 3Ds that was just announced in Japan will allow for Ammibo use without the peripheral.
