September’s Nintendo Direct was followed by a brief video showcasing Banjo-Kazooie, which is dropping as DLC for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate today. However, series director Masahiro Sakurai also revealed a little more information besides the bear and bird’s movesets.

As well as giving us a very brief glimpse of the fourth Fighter’s Pass character Terry Bogard, he also showed off three new amiibo: Squirtle, Ivysaur and Solid Snake. The Pokémon and Metal Gear Solid hero are arriving on 20 September.

It’s shaping up to be a pretty pricey month for Nintendo fans! Link’s Awakening and it’s accompanying adorable chibi-Link amiibo also drop on the same day, and we’re getting a brand new system in the form of the Switch Lite this month too!

Will these three be making yet more dents in your bank balance this month? Let us know down in the comments.
