Bandai Namco becomes the first third-party publisher to support amiibo

Bandai Namco is set to become the first third-party publisher to support Nintendo’s amiibos.

They’ll do it via the upcoming title One Piece: Super Grand Battle! X.

Shonen Jump Magazine made the big revelation, reporting that amiibos will unlock Nintendo-themed costumes in the game.

Protagonist Luffy will get dressed as Mario, Link and company, depending on the amiibo used.

One Piece: Super Grand Battle! X is a Japan-only game that was released on 3DS last month.

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
