I hear a resounding ‘good’ from many of you!

In case you were wondering whatKirby and the Forgotten Landamiibo functionality would entail,we now have details from the official Japanese site. And like most modern amiibo features, it’s kept to a minimum.

Here’s the very quick sentence blurb: “With every amiibo, you can get items that are useful for your adventure.” That seems to be it! We have the typical “tap the figure and get a quick power-up you can normally get in-game” formulathatMetroid Dreadmost recently used.

Forgotten Land amiibo functionality

And here’s the fullForgotten Landamiibo functionality list so far (and possibly the complete list):

So that’s eight amiibo in all, and five unique characters (Kirby, Dedede, Meta Knight, Waddle Dee, and Qbby). As a reminder,some of these are getting reprintsahead of the March worldwide launch ofForgotten Land. A few of them, Qbyy included, are not. So why Qbby? Well, it’s probably included as an Easter egg given that HAL Laboratory produced theBoxBoyseries.

If you were hoping for moreForgotten Landamiibo functionality, you’re out of luck. But I have a feeling most people are over amiibo in general these days, so not linking a crucial feature or mode to them isprobablya good idea not just now, but going forward.
