It’s right on the bottom of the figure

Monster Hunter Stories 2launched recently, and it seems to be doing well for Capcom. But over in Japan, fans are celebrating another little bonus of the game: moreMonster Hunteramiibo!

Japan most recently acquired a trio of newMonster Hunteramiibo in theStories 2line, which consists of the Razewing Ratha, Ena, and Tsukino figures. About that last one! Some intrepid importers/collectors (myself included) have been noticing something different about that figure, most notably on the underside. Study the header image for a few seconds, you’ll spot it.

Yep, evidently Sanrio had something to do with Tsukino.Nintendo Wire got to the bottom of this, and got a response out of Capcom. According to the publisher, Sanrio “worked directly” with them to come up with the design for Tsukino: a more pronounced character than an average Felyne, fit for a JRPG-like structure.

So what do they do? Well the aforementioned three unlock outfits/layered armor forStories 2(Red/Kyle and Ena/Tsukino respectively), and previousMonster HunterRiseamiibo offer sticker sets. Any of the set of sixStories 1amiibo figures  (also Japan-only) will unlock the Hakum Rider outfit. Any amiibo (even random ones likeMario) will grant bonuses.
