During the Splatoon 3 livestream, Nintendo announced that three new amiibo would be released for the game, but while the game will launch next month, the amiibo won’t be out until the summer, but there’s no exact date yet. Check out the new looks for them below.
Their official names are Squid Girl (yellow), Octoling Boy (blue), and Smallfry, with the latter being the sidekick on your journey in story mode. All three amiibo will be released as a triple pack, so expect the price to be higher than your average amiibo purchase.
The new amiibo are welcome, but what do they allow you to do in the game? Well, when you scan the amiibo you can switch to your favorite outfit combination, which the game allows without the amiibo, but here you can store one outfit per figure. This means that with the current 17 Splatoon themed amiibo (that number will reach 20 with these new additions) you can save one outfit to each, as opposed to five through the in-game system.
Other regions have announced that the Callie & Marie twin packs, along with Pearl and Marina are being restocked, but so far no word from Nintendo Australia on us.
