Costumes for the former, power-ups for the latter
It’s not every day that we get two amiibo stories!
While we’ll get to both,Monster Hunter Riseis undoubtedly the lead here, as Capcom just explained what the trio of amiibo will do intheir newMonster Huntervideo breakdown.
As a reminder, it will ship with Magnamalo (monster), Palamute (dog), and Palico (cat) amiibo, all of which will provide a different feature. The former unlocks Magnamalo-flavored armor for your hunter, the Palamute amiibo will give you a new Palamute cosmetic style in turn, and the latter (you guessed it) pairs with a Palico cosmetic. you may peruse all of these in the gallery below.
Of note, there’s another easy-to-miss biton the site: “you can also play a daily lottery to win various useful items.” Typically, this is a canned type of amiibo functionality feature dating back as old asZelda: Breath of the Wild. It’s possible that any amiibo will work as a sort of lottery chance.
Oh, and we also have more of an idea of what theSuper Mario 3D World: Bowser’s Furyfunctionality will entail, thanks to a new website landing page. Simply put, the section at the bottom on amiibo (which involves the Cat Mario and Cat Peach figures at this time) states: “Use the adorable new Cat Mario and Cat Peach amiibo figures to unlock power-ups.”
“Unlock power-ups.” I’m sure some of you non-collectors will be relieved to hear that it’s non-essential. That said, the Cat duo has been readily available since it was up for pre-order, while theMonster Hunterfigures are still tied to GameStop (and have since gone up for sale online, but it’s also GameStop, so I get the hesitation).
