Yesterday, Nintendo held one of their occasional "Nintendo Direct" events and revealed a few new things that will be heading to the Switch and 3DS over the coming months. While the one announcement that's probably got most folks excited is the new Super Smash Bros coming sometime this year (and hey, maybe it'll have co-op like the past few), our ears perked up at the mention of co-op in Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker and Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes.

Interested in purchasing a Nintendo Amiibo or three next week? We have the latest on which figures will be out when, what sort of games they are compatible with, and a few concerns that you might need to be aware of before buying.

Soon Hyrule Warriors will be one of the first Nintendo titles that will be supporting Amiibo figures other than Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. Players will be able to unlock a special weapon in-game using the Link Amiibo this November.
