Technology Tell writes, "Another interesting element is just how invested people already are in these figures. Skylanders are already collectible and sell for astonishing amounts on eBay. People are going to want to use the figures they’ve spent so much money on for as long as reasonably possible. I’m also willing to bet that their shelves are looking cooler and cooler as more of these figures role out."
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.
Fans can save big on tons of amiibo from Nintendo in one of the biggest sales ever for these figures.
Oh wow I thought those things was left behind in the 2010s 🤷🏿
$6 to $16 is not a bad price considering it’s GameStop
NE: "With tariffs increasing the price of new amiibo figures, here's what the future of Nintendo's signature figurines could look like."
Some of them look great quality and others look terrible/cheap. Really disappointing.
At first I thought the title was being used in the negative sense, but after reading, it's the opposite.
The author feels that NFC figures have staying power and that they'll be a part of gaming for a while yet.
I gotta agree with that; for better or worse, they're gonna be popular, and depending on how they're handled, they could also be a great way of introducing much more free content to users to make the purchases of their games and the figures associated with them feel even more rewarding.
They're already doing this by allowing Amiibos to unlock content in various different games with just the one-time purchase of the figures, actually.
I hope we see Nintendo continue that trend; getting tons of extra content across many games, just for purchasing one little figurine is an awesome bonus.
