Splatoon Raiders: All amiibo Unlocks

"There's no other way to get these ... in the game, so you'll have to scan a relevant amiibo if you want in."

A little disappointing. I guess they did the same thing in Metroid 4, right? The radio or something.

I guess I could get an NFC emulator.

A guilty pleasure of mine is to wait for new amiibos to release and see if they fall in the "Nintendo locked great content behind paywall !" controversy or "Nintendo released useless amiibos yet again !" controversy.

Judging by this article, the first one ?

"Nintendo locked great content behind paywall"

I'm a little torn on that one. I mean I can see how it's arguably fun to associate some in-game exclusive item with a real-life trinket, that's kinda cool, sort of a "secret", but in practice it has a lot of obvious downsides too.

Frye’s outfit looks so cute!

a little disappointed these are all just the same outfit with a different texture, i would've liked something unique for each, though fashion isn't exactly the focus here anyway

I'm not crazy about any of these outfits so I'm comfortable missing out. Even if I did want them, it's preferable to lose something cosmetic than say, the backstory of the primary antagonist, or music during the most boring part of the game [/shade@MP4]

They couldn't have even made custom outfits for Callie, Marie, Pearl, and Marina? My daughter was disappointed that there wasn't a Marina-specific outfit and that all the older Splatoon amiibo unlocked the exact same thing.

They could have done more for this in my opinion.
(E.g. loved in Splatoon 1 when you got extra mini games that had nothing to do with the main game).

I was scanning my amiibo and wondering why it kept saying I already had the outfit for that amiibo. Turns out it's only 4 amiibo, with only the new Raiders ones giving unique outfits. Lame! Oh well.

Huh. Locked amiibo content kinda suck I have to admit. Plus it would have been nice at least to have other splatoon bands inspired costumes but oh well. My super stylish Mary amiibo will allow me to unlock the ugliest overalls I've ever seen I guess.

@JimNorman
Does the Bite Waders outfit come with any passive ability buffs or upgrades or bonus skills?

The only Amiibo I own is Green Yarn Yoshi and that’s because a friend of mine gave it to me years ago. I’ve never seen reason to buy a $20+ non posable figure (excluding that one Zelda one with posable arms) just to unlock a new outfit or give you some items. They’re a neat idea on paper but I’d much rather just save my money.

@TrogdorTheBurninator People would be furious that they locked it behind an expensive Amiibo though, they cost a lot more then they did back then

If only these were optional and weren't required to play the game!

Disappointing that there's only one outfit outside the Deep Cut ones wheb every amiibo got its own set in the main series.

Was also expecting more outfits like the main game. Ah well I’ll unlock the waders and maybe be done with it. I love big man’s outfit tho but do I need 2 big man amiibo…. Maybe

Edit: like his in game character and amiibo outfit, not the unlock one

@sublimesunset Technically they have different models, but it seems like the only difference is the legs (most noticable on the Shiver one). I do agree though, it would've been cool if they were more unique.
