  As the ever-important holiday season approaches, Nintendo today announced pricing details for its Skylanders-style toy line, amiibo, and revealed a range of new Wii U and 2DS hardware bundles.

  Amiibo toys will sell for $13 each, and the first dozen were revealed today. They are Mario, Peach, Link, Samus, Yoshi, Donkey Kong, Pikachu, Kirby, Fox, Marth, Villager, and Wii Fit Trainer. More are coming in the future, Nintendo said.

  The upcoming Super Smash Bros. game for Wii U, due to launch this holiday, will be the first game to support amiibo toys.
