Amiibo collectors, get ready.
A limited edition Silver Mario is coming to major retailers nationwide on May 29. It’ll have the same functionality as a normal Mario Amiibo; it can add content or store character data for some games, like Super Smash Bros. and Mario Party 10, but otherwise it’s an attractive collectible.
Nintendo released a Gold Mario Amiibo in February that sold out in minutes. However, that figure was only available at Walmart, while this silver version will come to “major retailers nationwide and their respective online destinations.” It’ll cost $13.
Amiibos are a bit hit for Nintendo. The Japanese game company has shipped 10.5 million figures, with most going to North America.
