Super Smash Bros. Ultimate amiibo may unlock characters

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate amiibo will reportedly unlock characters, a listing by Best Buy Canada suggests.

“Simply tap the amiibo accessory to the NFC touchpoint on your game system to unlock this Space Pirate,” a description on the Wolf amiibo listing reads.

In previous titles, characters could be unlocked through regular play — it looks like those with amiibo will be able to do this a little faster. We’ll keep you posted as functionality is confirmed.

Would you rather play to earn new characters or simply tap an amiibo instead?

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate heads to Nintendo Switch in December. We recently previewed the game using playtime from E3 2018 and a local Aussie event.
