A silver version, of course. We suspected as much after both figurinesleaked back in February (http://www.engadget.com/2015/02/04/gold-silver-mario-amiibo/), but today the console maker has made it official. The special statue -- which is identical to the Amiibo figure from Mario Party 10 (http://www.nintendo.com/amiibo/detail/7CJ0nCjMq1rdrDDJnY4Pdc7_d6z7peOu), albeit painted silver -- will arrive in stores on May 29th for $12.99. When the gold version debuted, it was available exclusively in Walmart stores across the US. That made it something of a collector's item (http://www.polygon.com/2015/2/26/8117963/gold-mario-amiibo-walmart-sold-out), riling fans that were desperately trying to maintain a complete set. This time around, it seems Nintendo has opted for a more conventional release. The company is still struggling to keep up with the demand for Amiibos however, so if you're interested, act fast on May 29th.
