Family distractions and fiscal responsibility put me into a self-imposed Amiibo detox over the summer--I only bought Pac-Man, I swear!--but September is going to make falling off the wagon exceedingly easy. Nintendo has a full round of new Amiibo figurines launching September 11th, including Captain Olimar, Ganondorf, Zero Suit Samus and a retro 8-bit Mario that is compatible with Mario Maker, also launching in September.

On the 25th they will release a retro three-pack including Duck Hunt Dog, R.O.B. and Mr. Game and Watch. Let the preorder bloodbath commence.
