Well, here's something you don't see every day - the Rare and Microsoft-owned character Banjo-Kazooie has just been released as an amiibo for Nintendo's all-star brawler, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
Banjo & Kazooie originally made their debut in Smash Bros. Ultimate in September 2019, as part of Fighter Pass Vol. 1. To this day, it's still perhaps one of the most surprising character reveals in the series' history.
Unbelievably, this won't be the last Microsoft amiibo we see. As you might recall, Steve and Alex from Mojang's Minecraft made their debut in Smash Bros. Ultimate late last year, as part of Fighters Pass Vol. 2.
Smash Bros. director Masahiro Sakurai previously said Steve will be a lot "easier" to produce due to his blocky design. While we wait on this one, tell us if you'll be adding the Banjo & Kazooie amiibo to your Rare shrine.

OMG, even on PXB we can't escape everything being about Smash!!
If they write about New Horizons, we riot!!
I will not be adding Banjo-Kazooie amiibo to my own amiibo shrine but I did purchase one as a Christmas present for a friend (a late Christmas present admittedly). It was far easier to get a hold of than the Monster Hunter amiibo's I wanted to buy for my eldest brother; they disappeared within seconds of becoming available online.
I miss rare from the old days
Mine is at on my desk right now, just a shame Microsoft don't put as much effort into Banjo as Nintendo has done recently
I'm not a fan of Amiibo, I grabbed the Magnamalo one for the armour but will likely sell it on looking at how the prices have skyrocketed - i can effectively get the game for free from the profit lol.
I don't have many Amiibo at all, but think I might have to get this one....
