Nintendo has announced that Dark Souls: Remastered on the Switch will have amiibo support, but not just any amiibo – it’s own amiibo!
A Solaire of Astora will be released alongside the game on May 25th. Nintendo also announced there will be a network test for the game before release, no details on that one just yet – but we’ll let you know when we do.

Ugh, their eBay store? 🙁 I was so excited too! 🙁
So that likely means EB Games passed on stocking it on their shelves and now we’re left with that crap? More reasons to hate them!
BANDAI Namco are taking pre orders for the amiibo on their online store. https://store.bandainamcoent.eu/eu
