Amiibo Variants: Shrewd But Smart Business Move by Nintendo
Some news recently leaked online (via NeoGAF) regarding the potential upcoming release of possible variant editions for the Nintendo Amiibo line. Basically, some images and product certificates were leaked online for silver and gold editions of Mario Amiibo figurines for the Super Mario wave of Amiibo figures. This is the new wave of figures produced for the Mario Party 10 video game that is due out next month. The release plan or availability for the figures are unclear. It is unknown whether these will be store exclusives, limited edition chase figures or something else. The production of variant Amiibo such as this is a shrewd move on the part of Nintendo, and a smart one as well.
