Be still my wallet

I know what you’re thinking: “all these Nintendo announcements this morningand no amiibo?!” Well, maybe that wasmy reaction. It turns out, though, that Nintendo heard my pleas after all.

In a post-Direct tweet, Nintendo of America confirmed that yes, there will be two new amiibo figures coming in 2021 alongside ofSuper Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury. The exact names of the toys are “Cat Mario” and “Cat Peach,” who are sporting the memorable new cat suits from the3D Worldentry.
