Super Smash Bros. Ultimate for the Nintendo Switch will be getting amiibo for Pichu and fan-favorite fighters Ice Climbers.
This news comes from Nintendo’s official Japanese website, which mentions the production of Pichu and Ice Climbers amiibo as only a couple of “resurrection fighter” characters getting the amiibo treatment.
This suggests that even more of the currently announced fighters of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate could be receiving amiibo.
No images of the amiibo were shown on the official page, though it did reiterate that Inkling, Ridley and Daisy will receive their own amiibo, which was previously confirmed during E3. In addition to amiibo data from previous Super Smash Bros. games carrying over to Ultimate, Nintendo confirmed GameCube controllers will also be compatible with the upcoming game.
