The final design of the Link amiibo figure has changed a bit. The green-garbed hero of Hyrule is now supported by a thick, sturdy, transparent yellow post.
A new amiibo has its release date from Nintendo, and pre-orders have started revealing the price and how it's the most expensive figure ever.
NE: "Nowadays, amiibo cost more than ever, and they don't offer many more in-game bonuses than before. Should Nintendo switch to cards instead?"
Everything Nintendo doesis expensive these days. This company loves to gouge pockets. What’s sad, people willing to pay for it.
I used to collect amiibos, especially the Smash Brothers ones. Ended up with nearly 100 of them. Eventually sold them all to a collector. I pick and choose which Amiibos to purchase nowadays, but usually it's the Zelda ones.
Upcoming amiibo figures from Nintendo appear to have received an official price cut - here are the new prices.
Nintendo gets away with murder when it comes to its game prices . They're still selling some of their last gen games for full price.
Not just full price, but $80 when last gen it was $60… and $70… which, don’t get me started on that.
£74.99 ($100) Switch 2 games didn't last long in the UK and games on key cards are annoying. Amiibo has been problematic from the start, prices a bit high, then the scalpers get hold of them, not forgetting stupid regional exclusives. On top of that, the content you get is fairly poor, then you have a figure gathering dust. For us poor gamers (me), Nintendo should've released Amiibo without the figures, just the bases showing who was who. I paid into a few of them during the Wii U era, but not Switch. With all of this, why would Nintendo be bothered?
And that amber plastic support is ugly as all get out. Why? I don't get it. They could have easily designed these with relevant bases that were molded to support the character.
Wow what did they do to Link, it looked so much better before, the detail is clearly not the same and who's brilliant idea was it to put the stand in front of the figure?
Sucks cause that is the one I wanted the most, but it looks really cheap now.
That looks god awful. So are they going to do this with all of them? If so there goes the collectible folks. Almost every Amiibo is in an 'action' pose, so if they do this for them all, count me out.
These went from Pre Order to wait and see.
Its looks the same as before but now the stand that holds the figurine up is thicker and is yellow. I like it. The statue is less likely to snap off the base now. Thats a good thing in my book.
That picture is not flattering at all, I saw the figure in a video and it looks really good, I agree the stand doesnt look as good, but it's a lot sturdier and the figure itself is still the same
