The professor arrives in amiibo form next year, but with a catch.
The all-star brawler Super Smash Bros. Ultimate for Nintendo Switch has been buzzing lately, with the recent announcement of new fighters Steve and Alex from Minecraft arriving with the upcoming Challenger Pack 7 downloadable content on October 13th.
In the “Super Smash Bros. Ultimate – Mr. Sakurai Presents ‘Steve & Alex’” video presentation which aired earlier today, Smash Bros. director Masahiro Sakurai shared detailed information about this DLC, and at the tail end of it, gave an update about its newest compatible amiibo, toy figures which can connect with software titles via near-field communication to unlock special features. Among these amiibo figures was Byleth from Fire Emblem: Three Houses, who also debuted as a Smash Bros. DLC newcomer earlier this year in both male and female versions.
