Nintendo's amiibo figures will launch the same day as Super Smash Bros. for Wii U in the U.S., Nov. 21, but the company is already planning the release of figures beyond the initial assortment.
These plans include retailer-exclusive Amiibos, with GameStop listing Shulk from Xenoblade Chronicles as one such figure. Nintendo, meanwhile, said that "some of our retail partners will be releasing a certain number of these [amiibos] as exclusive figures, so stay tuned for details."
Shulk will be part of the third wave of amiibos, which releases in February 2015 and includes Rosalina and Luma, Bowser, Lucario, Toon Link, Sheik, Ike, Sonic, Mega Man, King Dedede and Meta Knight. With the wave offering a number of high-profile characters, it will be interesting to see just how many Nintendo offers in such limited release.
