Wave 5 Amiibo European release dates announced, Ganondorf out next month

The official Nintendo of Europe Twitter has announced the day that Amiibo hunters can expect — or hope, given the disastrous results of the previous launches — to get their hands on the fifth wave of the elusive figures.

You’ll likely be most interested to know that the Ganondorf Amiibo will release in Europe on June 26, alongside Palutena, Dark Pit and Zero Suit Samus. Bowser Jr., Dr. Mario and Olimar will launch on July 17.

Collectors in the US will require a little more patience. No specific dates have been announced yet, but we do know that Dark Pit and Palutena will hit North America in July and the rest in September.

As always, best of luck!
