Yeah, some of the characters barely resemble their Amiibo counterparts now, so a few updated ones wouldn’t hurt.
Sadly, not likely to happen, sense Amiibo’s popularity went down, and due to the “AC: Amiibo Festival/Return of Samus” Amiibo drama from angry fans, Nintendo is now afraid to utilize them in games more, or make more series of them, because they don’t wanna look “greedy,” or anything.
(I still think the “Amiibo Festival” drama was overblown, because despite it requiring Amiibo to play, the game came with 2 free Amiibo, and several Amiibo cards, so you weren’t really required to buy more, unless you had 4 players somehow dying to play the game, not to mention, the AC series Amiibo were cheaper. Admittedly, they probably should’ve sold the game cheaper, or offer it as a free download to avoid drama.)
Fans wanted to teach Nintendo a “lesson” about requiring Amiibo for games, but it looks like now they just made Nintendo almost afraid to make new Amiibo for anything outside SSB at all.
Another case of we can’t have nice things.
In fact, Amiibo are so niché now, most of my local stores rarely carry them, (only new one I saw was Pichu months back) Regardless, they still seem to sell out alot, so there’s still some fans out there, but unfortunately that makes them even harder to find. Now they’re mostly regulated to online retailers, Best Buy, and game stores. (So gone are the days of getting Amiibo cheaper then their MSRP.)
Though, with Monster Hunter, and Cat Mario/Peach, maybe they’re getting over that a bit, but I imagine those are going to be pretty limited/rare too.
