NBA 2K18 will support amiibo figurines on Nintendo Switch

NBA 2K18 will support amiibo, a new Japanese listing declares.

The game’s Japanese MyNintendo listing currently suggests amiibo will have a “corresponding function” (as per translation) in-game. The listing does not detail which amiibo figurines will be supported, nor what amiibo will unlock.

We’ll keep you posted as we learn more of the feature… or if cover star Kyrie Irving gets his own amiibo alongside the game.

NBA 2K18 heads to Windows PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch on 19 September.

Thanks, NeoGAF.
