Amiibo

Just a few short days ago, Nintendo officially announced the release date for the new Sora amiibo. And according to a recent datamine of Splatoon 3, they’re not done with new figures just yet.

A thread from ashbinary_ on Twitter goes in-depth on Splatoon 3’s resource table, which contains references to content not currently available in-game. This includes new weapon kits, unreleased stages, and unreleased sets of gear. Two of those unreleased gear sets have the amiibo brand, which implies that Nintendo is planning to release at least two more new amiibo figures for Splatoon 3. That being said, the reference to these amiibo doesn’t necessarily guarantee their release – though it would make sense for the release of the Side Order DLC next year.

Splatoon 3 amiibo rewards

We’ve gone ahead and compiled a list of every Splatoon 3 amiibo figure and each of their rewards. If you’re looking to upgrade your Freshest Fits with some brand-new gear, you’ve come to the right place.

The Splatoon series has been entwined with amiibo figures ever since its original launch in 2015. This is true for Splatoon 3, too – to this day, it’s still receiving new figurines and compatibility. There are over twenty different Splatoon amiibo on the market right now, and each one yields a different set of exclusive gear that you can’t get anywhere else. 

rarest amiibo

Over the years, Nintendo has produced and released well over 150 unique amiibo figures – and may of them are now rare. At the time of writing, less than fifteen of those are readily available from retailers. Indeed, if you’re in the market for new figurines, you’ll often have no choice but to purchase them second-hand. That being said, a small chunk of those are a cut above the rest. Several amiibo figures received region-exclusive or incredibly limited prints and were never restocked again. Today, we’re going over the ten rarest amiibo that may never return to store shelves.

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom features compatibility with just about every amiibo figure in the Zelda lineup. Some grant the player items, some grant horses, and almost all of them grant an exclusive Paraglider fabric. If you’ve managed to get your hands on some Zelda amiibo figures and want to know what kind of benefits they’ll bring you in-game, we’ve put together a full list of amiibo rewards and unlocks for Tears of the Kingdom. Let’s get started!

Zelda Tears Kingdom datamine unused paragliders amiibo

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom dataminers have managed to find unused paraglider fabrics in the game. Based on the discovery, speculation is going around that Nintendo could eventually release two new amiibo tied to the Switch exclusive.

Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has a ton of different fabrics players can use to customize Link’s glider. Most can be obtained with normal play, but some are unlocked by using select amiibo.

Smash Bros amiibo 2023

Original (12/14): Nintendo just announced a release date for the Sephiroth and Kazuya amiibo as part of the Super Smash Bros. line. Both figures will be available on January 13, 2023, the company has confirmed.

Nintendo also provided a brief update on the Pyra and Mythra figures. These amiibo are also slated for 2023, though a specific date hasn’t been provided.

amiibo figures have been an important product for Nintendo since the product started in 2014, and we now have confirmation that total shipments have surpassed 77 million. That information comes president Shuntaro Furukawa, who shared the news during a financial results briefing today.

Although Nintendo has slowed down on the amount of amiibo it releases, we still continue to see new figures. The Super Smash Bros. Ultimate line is still coming out with amiibo even though DLC support ended last year.
