To be similarly priced with Skylanders and Disney Infinity toys.
President of Nintendo America, Reggie Fils-Aime, was speaking to the Seattle Times about the newly revealed toys.
"You can expect them to be comparable to the Disney and Skylander products that are on the market."
In the UK, Skylanders range from £5-15 while Disney Infinity figures are around £10. Fils-Aime goes on to discuss his hopes for Amiibo to emulate the success of other NFC games.

Console is currently in second place, behind PS4, says Fils-Aime.
So poor has the Wii U been selling in the previous year that many commentators had pretty much written off the system, but Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime is much more confident about the platform's outlook.
Asked by The Seattle Time if Nintendo will have to release a next-gen console in the next couple of years, Fils-Aime responded: "We don't think so. We think that the Wii U has a long and vibrant life in front of it.

"I apologise for some of the games we pushed back, but when people ask me "We've been saying the PS4 is very easy to develop for, why are teams taking time?" The reason is, it's very easy to develop games on the PS4, except that PS4 can do so much, that a team's ambition is much higher.
"What they are trying to achieve, they are challenging, y'know, something new. More...
"Just purely streaming gameplay, what we've got to think through is, so what's fun about that?" asks Fils-Aime.
"We don't think streaming 30 minutes of gameplay by itself is a lot of fun," Fils-Aime told Polygon.
"Your specific question of just purely streaming gameplay, what we've got to think through is, so what's fun about that? From a consumer standpoint, what's fun about it?"
Fils-Aime says Nintendo will use Twitch for events such as its Smash Invitational which took place this week at the Nokia Theatre in LA.
"That has value to us," he explained. "And you can expect us to do more of that type of activity, highlighting our games and providing a forum for players...
In an interview with Polygon, Nordic Games general manager Klemens Kruezer said the company has agreed a deal for the THQ trademark, after acquiring over one hundred SKUs in the 2013 bankruptcy auction.

Coming with bonus content and 'enhanced features'.
The game will include bonus content and "enhanced features" for the new-gen consoles, though no specific details were mentioned regarding what this content will be - existing PC and console DLC seems a good bet.
No release date was given.
Our review of Payday 2 described the game as a "vacuous trudge" offline, but online play is a "tense and frantic experience".
You wait for ages and then two Metroid games come along at once.
"So it has been a while since we released the last one and we're having discussions internally about what we can do next. So at this point we have two different types of Metroid games.
"We have the Prime style of Metroid game and we have the more traditional style of Metroid game. We feel that we do need to take care of both of these styles of play. And the hope is that at some point in the near future we'll be able to share something about them."
Metroid: Other M was the last entry in the series, which launched back in 2010 for the Wii.

Rapture is set in a remote valley in June 1984 and is a story about people and how they live with each other. There's also the small issue of the end of the world to deal with.
