Nintendo Announces More Marth Amiibos Are On The Way
Finally, some good news for amiibo hunters, Nintendo has announced on their official Twitter account that more Marth amiibos are on the way! Marth is one of the toughest amiibos to find, but thanks to his functionality in Codename: S.T.E.A.M on the 3DS, Nintendo is trying to make him more available for those picking up the game and wanting to recruit him onto their team. Check out the official confirmation tweet down below.
