GS: A few months ago Nintendo confirmed that all Super Smash Bros DLC characters will be getting their own amiibo figure in the future. The first DLC character released for the game, Mewtwo, has received its figure this month in North America and soon collectors will be able to purchase the Roy, Lucas and Ryu amiibo figures. We still don’t know precisely when some of these figures will be released in North America and if there will be store exclusive amiibo figures but today an image showcasing the Ryu amiibo has surfaced online.
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?
Store exclusive crap is annoying.. Im getting that Roy and Ryu though
