Nintendo always had the uncanny ability to strike it big with their first party titles, although there has been some duds as well in the past where hardware is concerned – the Virtual Boy comes to mind. Having said that, the idea of amiibos have struck a chord with gamers, and while several amiibo figures have been discontinued already, with other amiibo figures experiencing shortage, we have received word that the Mario – Silver Edition Amiibo Figure is all set to arrive at major retailers across the nation as well as at respective online destinations.
Out in stores later this May 29th, you can expect the Mario – Silver Edition Amiibo Figure to come with a sticker price tag of $12.99 a pop. Similar to the other Mario amiibo figures that have already rolled out, this Mario – Silver Edition amiibo will boast of the exact same functionality as the rest, where it plays nice with the rest of the games that are compatible with Mario amiibo.
I suppose only hardcore fans would be on the lookout for this particular amiibo figure, since it comes in a totally different shade. Knowing Nintendo, they might even come up with a gold colored version some time down the road, who knows?
