We’ve long pondered whether Nintendo would produce a Sonic the Hedgehog Amiibo given the fact that the Blue Blur is playable in Super Smash Bros., and today Nintendo has confirmed he certainly will be.
Though only confirmed for Japan at this point, the Sonic Amiibo will be joined by Mega Man, Bowser, Rosalina, Sheikh and Wind Waker Link and will be released on in January and February 2015 for 1,200 yen.
Of course, this begs the question whether Sonic will appear in other Amiibo-enabled games, say Mario Kart 8, for instance?
