Nintendo has announced that Super Mario Maker will sport some fancy new bundles along with a release date for the 8-Bit Mario Amiibo.
Lets talk about the 8-Bit Mario Amiibo first. The Amiibo will be available in two different versions: The Brown & Red Mario Colors titled ‘Classic Style’ and a Blue & Red style called ‘Modern Style’, to reflect the colours of the modern day Mario. The ‘Classic Style’ Amiibo will launch on September 11th in Europe and September 12th in Austrailia while the ‘Modern Style’ Amiibo will be available on October 23rd in Europe and October 24th in Austrailia.
