* <b>November 07, 2014</b> - On the November 5, 2014 Nintendo Direct, it was revealed that the Fox (and possibly Falco) amiibo figurines will be compatible with various games outside of ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'', which could include ''Hyrule Warriors'' and ''Mario Kart 8''. In the case of the latter, using a Fox amiibo in that game will allow the playable Mii character to don a Fox McCloud-based suit. | |||
