Latest amiibo seem to be costing more than ever before [update: more evidence]

April 18: Based on retailer listings, it seems that the newest wave of amiibo are costing more than they ever have following a potential price increase.

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is set to receive new figures with Sidon, Riju, Yunobo, and Tulin. Then there’s also amiibo for Street Fighter 6 – there are products planned for Luke, Kimberly, and Jamie.

According to GameStop’s listings, the new Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom will go for $30 each. For the Street Fighter 6 figures, they’re even more expensive at $40 each. Needless to say, this would be uncharged territory. We’re far removed from the early days of the Smash Bros. line when the MSRP was $13.

The only slight hope we have for lower prices comes from Best Buy. The store pages from that retailer has the Zelda ones going for $20 and Street Fighter at $30. However, it’s possible that those listings will be updated before pre-orders go live. It’s also worth noting that GameStop’s pages are more recent, which may reflect the most up-to-date pricing.

The situation with video game products is volatile at the moment due to tariffs. There was concern that Nintendo would be increasing the price of Switch 2 hardware following pre-order delays in the United States, but earlier today, the company confirmed that it will remain at $450 (and $500 for the Mario Kart World bundle) for the time being. Accessories, however, will cost more than previously announced.

April 21: There’s more evidence regarding the new amiibo prices. Over at Walmart, the retailer has updated its listings which are now in line with GameStop. That means $30 for the Zelda figures and $40 for Street Fighter.
