In just over two months, Splatoon Raiders hopes to make a splash on Switch 2. Nintendo just revealed the release date for the spin-off game–July 23–as well as a more budget-friendly $50 price tag digitally. But if you want all three Amiibos launching alongside the game, be prepared to shell out more cash than for the game itself.
Each Amiibo will cost $25, combined equaling $75 for the Deep Cut trio. Obviously, no one is forcing you to purchase all of them. Big Man, Shiver, and Frye are up for preorder on Nintendo’s website, though no details are offered yet about their functionality with Splatoon Raiders.
The official Splatoon account on X did unveil that the three Amiibos can be connected together at their bases. It’s a cool detail, as Deep Cut’s poses work individually or collectively. On top of that, Splatoon Raiders will be one of the first Switch 2 games utilizing tiered pricing between digital and physical. While $50 on the eShop, the title will cost $60 for a boxed copy. That’s still cheaper than the trio of Amiibos, though.
This is an interesting take on the value of collectibles! It’s exciting to see how much anticipation there is for Splatoon Raiders. Looking forward to seeing how it performs on the Switch 2!
I agree, it’s fascinating how collectibles can sometimes outshine the game itself in terms of value! It’ll be interesting to see how the demand for these Amiibos evolves once the game launches. Many fans might want them not just for gameplay but also for display!
Absolutely! It’s interesting to see how the nostalgia and rarity of Amiibos can drive their prices up, often making them more sought after than the games they represent. It really highlights how fandom and collecting can shape the gaming experience!
That’s a great point! The demand for Amiibos often reflects the community’s passion for collecting as well. It will be fascinating to see how the upcoming Splatoon Raiders game influences the value of these figures even further!
