Among the various exciting announcements during the latest Nintendo Direct, an historic reveal was made about Super Smash Bros. Specifically the amiibos the latest game's characters have been given since it launched. Nintendo has finally confirmed Sora, the final fighter added to Smash Ultimate, will be getting his very own amiibo figure. The exact release date for Sora's Smash amiibo wasn't given, just a vague 2024 release window.
Despite all of the other characters with Smash amiibos, there was a fear among collectors that Sora might not get one. Since the Kingdom Hearts protagonist is technically a Disney character, there was a very real chance Nintendo and Disney would butt heads over Sora having what is technically a toy released under the Nintendo banner. It's a minor miracle Sora made it into Smash at all, so consider this amiibo an extension of that miracle.
Sora's figure wasn't the only amiibo news we got during today's Direct. Tears of the Kingdom's Ganondorf and Zelda amiibos were shown again and now have release dates. The Ganondorf amiibo modeled after the image of the baddie people were thirsting over prior to the latest Zelda game's launch, which I'm assuming is a little more than a happy accident, and the Zelda amiibo will be released on November 3.
Sora Amiibo
Sora's amiibo is real and coming in 2024. The final Super Smash Bros. Ultimate character to get his own figure, something that wasn't a sure thing due to Kingdom Hearts' Disney connection.
The amiibo news didn't stop there either. On top of the Zora and Tears of the Kingdom additions, Nintendo also revealed a release date for Xenoblade Chronicles 3's next amiibos. Noah and Mio figures will be available from January 19, 2024. The two will join Pyra and Mythra whose amiibos will also be available as a double pack next year.
Tears Of The Kingdom Ganondorf Amiibo
Ganondorf's Tears of the Kingdom look, which many were big fans of at launch, now has its own amiibo. Announced alongside a new Zelda figure and available from November 2023.
All of the amiibos announced will be joining three brand new Splatoon 3 figures coming before the end of 2023. Frye, Shiver, and Big Man were all confirmed to be getting their very first amiibos earlier this year. Big Man's was unsurprisingly pretty popular and sold out fast, but was restocked recently so may well still be available if you're fast.
