Are we about to get new Kirby amiibos?

Kirby and the Forgotten Land appears to have amiibo support, according to the Japanese Nintendo website. 

Originally spotted by Nintendo Life, the Japanese Nintendo store’s listing for the game features the phrase: "This software supports the following functions - amiibo." This could just mean you can use the existing Kirby amiibos with the game, or it could also mean that we are getting new ones to coincide with the game’s release.

This wouldn’t be too much of a stretch, especially considering that one amiibo collector recently shared on Reddit that they’ve noticed that some of the Kirby amiibos that already exist are up for pre-order again in Germany, with a delivery estimate of February 2022 - right before Kirby and the Forgotten Land is due to release.

Another thing that was cleared up during yesterday’s announcement was that Kirby and the Forgotten Land does have multiplayer - something theorized following the game’s reveal late last year. However, this is limited to couch co-op using one set of Joy-Cons, compared to the online coop that many fans were hoping for after the game was rated by the Australian rating board last year.

After studying Film Studies and Creative Writing at university, I was lucky enough to land a job as an intern at Player Two PR where I helped to release a number of indie titles. I then got even luckier when I became a Trainee News Writer at GamesRadar+ before being promoted to a fully-fledged News Writer after a year and a half of training.  My expertise lies in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, cozy indies, and The Last of Us, but especially in the Kingdom Hearts series. I'm also known to write about the odd Korean drama for the Entertainment team every now and then.
