We found out during the latest Super Smash Bros Direct that a number of new amiibo are coming this year and early next for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. One of these amiibo is the excellent King K. Rool who is a playable fighter in the upcoming Super Smash Bros. Ultimate game. Nintendo has given us a closer look at the amiibo in the tweet below. He will be available to purchase on the 15th of February 2019.

I still can’t believe that crazy green Crocodile from Donkey Kong Country is actually playable in a modern Smash Bros Game. Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine this awesome final boss would actually get this kind of treatment in this day and age.
I guess that’s just 1 of the things that makes Smash Bros so awesome.
If the Pyranha Plant can make it, anything goes!
Can’t wait to add him to my amiibo collection next year. Along with Piranha Plant and Ice Climbers.
I’m ready to pre-order King K. Rool, Ice Climbers, Young Link, and Daisy as soon as they go up.

K Rool & Ice Climbers are up on Best Buy. Young Link & Daisy not yet though.
And there had better be enough supply to meet demand, because EVERYONE is gonna want one.
