Metroid Dread launches in just a few days' time on Friday 8th October, and if you've got any old amiibo figures lying around, you'll be pleased to know that you'll be able to use them in-game.
Some of the Metroid figures from the Super Smash Bros. line (Samus, Dark Samus and Ridley) are compatible with Metroid Dread, alongside the new Samus and EMMI figures released specially for the game. The older figures will work as follows:
- Samus (Super Smash Bros.) - Once a day, replenish life energy
- Dark Samus / Ridley (Super Smash Bros.) - Once a day, replenish missile ammo
As it happens, all three of these figures have been restocked on the My Nintendo Store for £12.99 each (which is a little cheeky considering the original Samus launched at £10.99 back in the day). Still, they're there if you want them for your collection:

I looked but they don't have the metroid one, shame!
The Metroid amiibo (not restocked) is one of the more unusual amiibos given the material is a bit softer.
There is also a very rare Samus amiibo that has two arm cannons (a factor defect version of the Samus amiibo above) which I think is the most expensive amiibo out there these days
Thanks NL, bagged all 3 as I missed them the first time round. Decided to stop collecting EVERY amiibo that Nintendo bring out, but i’ve a soft spot for Metroid, and should be delivered by the time Dread is here this week <3
Damn. I was hoping this was going to include the Samus Returns' Amiibos as I missed them initially due to missing the pre-order window...
What about the Samus Returns amiibo, what effects do they have?
Fantastic! They've restocked some of the botw amiibo too
My squishy Metroid amiibo unlocked a skin for federation Force. I love that surprise cross-compatibility. I'm hoping all Metroid related do something because I have all of them.
Amiibo used to be 100kr in Sweden and now they’re 250kr, so the UK doesn’t have it too bad…
I only have Samus and squishy Metroid from Samus Returns. I hope they replenish energy and ammo as well.
@RupeeClock
No one knows, they re all sealed
Brilliant been wanting the original one for ages but only ever seen Dark Samus
Still have my fingers crossed for the Zero Suit Samus amiibo to unlock a Zero Suit outfit in game. rawr
@Pipulitoch
In all seriousness I found an answer on Nintendo's site.
Anything Samus or Zero Suit Samus will replenish energy (health) once a day.
Anything Dark Samus, Ridley, or Metroid will replenish missiles once a day.
As always @Nintendolife , thanks the heads-up. You guys are great at keeping on top of the Nintendo store. You've helped me out loads of times now.
No squishy Metroid reprint?
I've already got all three. To bad the others didn't get reprints.
Thankfully I got all the Metroid amiibo beforehand and I'm just missing the upcoming Dread Samus and EMMI.
I hope they do a reprint of the Samus Returns ones for those who missed them.
This is what Nintendo failed to do with Skywards Swords, compatibility with all Zelda amiibos.
Finally! My Ridley amiibo has a function beyond punishing myself in Smash!
Don’t want these smash ones….but really want the Samus 2 ones from the 3DS
How about Zero Suit Samus?
Hope this comes to NA!
