The Gold Mario Amiibo Is Coming To Canada On April 10th.

Briefly: Rejoice, Canadians!

After tons of speculation and doubt (and non-communication) as to whether or not we’d see the Gold Mario Amiibo in Canada at all, Nintendo has officially revealed that the figure will hit retailers across Canada on April 10th. From the just received Press Release:

In addition, on April 10 Nintendo of Canada will launch the Super Mario series Mario amiibo—Gold Edition figure, a shiny, gold-coloured Mario figure that will be available at retailers across Canada at a suggested retail price of $15.99.

This is great news. As a Canadian with a current-until-Friday collection of 29/29, I was just about to head to eBay to acquire this sexy new figure. Now it appears that I won’t have to. Note that Nintendo states retailers across Canada, meaning that this won’t be a Wal Mart exclusive up here! $15.99 however, is an interesting price point. I’m really hoping we’re seeing the increase simply because this is a limited edition figure, and that it’s not the new standard Amiibo price in Canada. Damn dollar.

So Canadians, will you be picking one of these up? Or did you already turn to eBay? Sound out below!
