Surprise! New Splatoon 3 amiibo Are On The Way

I see Marina, I spend money. Nintendo gotta milk.

So gorgeous! I won’t be getting these, but the designs of the amiibos are so stylish. Splatoon is home to so many stylish and unique character designs and fashion, which I absolutely love as an art fan.

I need that Callie and Marie set. .

Wow, we're picking the idol group for the next game. Neat.

Oh my gosh these look so good! I need them! I wonder if they will come with new cosmetics or the same one their corresponding amiibo already have.

How will this affect the economy?

I gotta think about it but Marina looks so cool!

(I don’t even play Splatoon)

@Ryu_Niiyama neither do I yet Splatoon Amiibo are so cool I keep buying them.

There goes my money.

I'm glad they're still making new Amiibos ... fingers crossed for more Bayonetta Amiibos 😍

Woah nobody talking about the grand festival teaser?? That concert looks insane

For her birthday my daughter asked everyone in the family for a total of well over £100 of Splatoon amiibo. I thought we were done 😭

So they are doing a concert for their final splatfest? That’s awesome, team future for me! I was going to do it anyway but after learning it’s off the hooks team I have too!

Pearl's jacket apparently costs a truckload of money.

Does that mean Pearl INCLUDING that coat will be unaffordable for all of us? 🤔

In any case, really looking forward to this Final Fest! The amiibo look real slick too.

Gold and Silver, and White and Black. I like both a lot, and Callie and Marie are my favorite, but the Pearl and Marina ones look a bit more creative.

I always meant to pick up the Splatoon 2 Pearl and Marina and never did so might grab those ones.

This exemplifies the absolute randomness of Nintendo. We’ve been questioning if Nintendo were going to carry on with amiibo, yet from out of nowhere they create four new ones for a 2 year old game.

Yeah, amiibo aren't going anywhere. I've collected every Splatoon amiibo so far, so of course I'll get these two pairs! I still wonder if there'll be a new Zelda one for Echoes of Wisdom to complement Link from Link's Awakening. That one just seems so obvious.

These will go nicely with the revised physical editon of Splatoon 3 (plus DLC) that's coming out next week.

I wish Splatoon 2 got the same treatment outside of Japan as well.

Oh my God! I actually predicted the final Splatfest theme! I brought this up to my wife months ago: Past, Present or Future. Because I thought it would make for the most interesting story/theme choice. I'm definitely picking Team Past. Who doesn't want to know about humanity or the war that happened?

Why is this the only series that gets amiibo? We got a few others here and there but now that Smash is done this is pretty much the only series to be consistently getting amiibo.

Hopefully a good sign that amiibo aren’t dead, they’re just being more selective on what games get them. I hope they keep making them when Switch 2 is out even if the NFC features are stripped (they don’t do anything meaningful in games anymore and rarely did to begin with).

Pearl looks so cool! Marina's pose is kinda weird, it looks like the ink is holding her rather than coming from her actions?
Love the new Callie and Marie set too.

Yes! Amiibo are back!

I don't care too much for amiibos but the grand festival looks genuinely amazing.

I think Splatoon JP mentioned that this was the final fest or it could be Google translate being wrong again.

NL, can we please have another article properly addressing the kraken in the room? The Grand Festival! That certainly woke me up early this morning.

I’d post a very long comment all about it, but later.

Looks like I’m buying even more amiibo.

If Splatoon can get four new amiibo (of characters that already have amiibo might I add) why can’t Zelda get the four Sages as amiibo? We need Yunobo

The amiibo look stunning. I definitely want to use Marie’s jacket in battle.

The Splatfest happens during the time of my vacation, so playing will be a bit tricky. But all the more reason to rep Team Present. But I need all the shirts and that goofy wristband.

These are awesome! I'm excited to play! And what a great theme! I hope they release the t-shirts for this splatfest too!

These amiibo are just for the people saying we weren’t getting anymore. Still hope for Zelda then. She really does deserve a new one, Link has like 14.

These are really neat, but at the same time, I'm so sick of Nintendo making amiibo for the same characters over and over again. Why are we getting this when we could be getting Pauline, Birdo, the Koopalings, Dixie Kong, Cranky Kong, Ghirahim, Skull Kid, Tetra, the Happy Mask Salesman, Tingle... I could go on and on.

Also, Pearl's amiibo reminds me so much of Jojo Siwa, lol.

AHAHHAHAHAHHH OMG WOKE UP TO THIS SO EXCITED MY PREDICTONS WERE RIGHT
the ammibo also look so detailed wow??? aftet wathcing tbe trailer…it doesnt seem to be set in the cities. interesting

So not only did we get new amiibo, but we know the next 2 splatfests? That's crazy!

These look great!

Splatastic. Just SPLATASTIC!

I need them..........

Yes Nintendo Life that is all I have to say.

Ooh I will definitely be picking up the new Callie and Marie amiibo. Also, since when have there been two Splatfests announced at the same time?

Team Present for me!

These launch on my birthday!

I always love the designs of the Splatoon amiibo with the splashes of ink, and with the colors of these sets, I absolutely have to get both.

Ohhhhhhhh my word! These is inkredible!!

These are gonna be a nightmare to preorder.

I imported the Splatoon 1 Callie and Marie and Splatoon 2 Pearl and Marina amiibo 2-packs less than a year ago... I figured if we were going to get any new amiibo, they would be based on Side Order, as a 3-pack with Acht, Eight, and Pearl Drone...
Sigh... (Opens wallet)

So happy to see they haven't given up on Amiibo, hopefully we get a few more after this but if not these are some nice looking figures to cap off the collection

I'm sure I'll end up getting the inevitable Echoes of Wisdom Zelda figure.
Those squid sister figures look great, but I don't need them.

Gotta see what they unlock, first

@Ryu_Niiyama how come?

Really interested to see Past or Future win and affect the setting of Splatoon 4. Past could be Japanese-themed which would be awesome but Future could look like a Splatoon meets Nier Automata, with Batman Beyond-like slick abilities and specials.

Only wrong winner would be Present 🤪

@DannZan ? Is this your first time buying amiibo? Otherwise your question is confusing.

Scalpers tend to scoop amiibo up.

They're up right now on Best buy in the US.

@Ryu_Niiyama ya first time I want to preorder. But I could have guessed, took me forever to find a launch switch in 2017 bc of scalpers. Sux

@Dang_69 and here I thought it was going to be hard to find. Pre-ordered, thank you!

man, there are a LOT of splatoon amiibo! I guess they must sell pretty well to be pretty consistently getting new ones

I am excited for this, but sad we aren't getting Pearl Drone or Acht as amiibo. Ah well. Won't keep me from buying Alternan Marie!

Thanks for the heads up on pre-orders going live! Just ordered one of each for my partner. ^_^

Just gimme Callie and Marie never cared about Pearl and Marina.

Is it just me, or has Amazon stopped taking pre-orders for Nintendo games and Nintendo accessories? Amiibos too?

These look really cool, it's been over 6 years since the last time I purchased an amiibo, might have to do it again

Not really surprising gifts, but good for those who plan on using them. I'm sure some will be thrilled to play with high heels.

It'll just be a hassle to try to unlock these gifts by the Grand Festival's Main Event. You can't use amiibo at the venue. We can't travel between the Splatsville and Inkopolis hubs, which MIGHT mean we're stuck at the venue all weekend. If you want to wear the headgear or shoes from one of these outfits, you better grind for ten victories per gift within a week. And that's assuming you get them at launch!

@NFrealinkling i gotta ask...do u listen NF?🎶
i love that guy

I still don't know what the amiibo do in the game? Does it give you something extra? Do only Splatoon amiibo work or do any of the other Nintendo amiibo? Other than to look at why would I want this.

For what it's worth, been binging my way through Splatoon 3's story mode for the past week and just got to level 5.

Definitely disappointed with the unlocks for the Callie & Marie Amiibo.

I mean... Really? Hero gear that should have been the reward for completing After Alterna instead of that tacky headband that would have been better as a pricey Salmon Run reward?

Why could they nave not done something like the idol outfits instead? Are they allergic to giving the Squid Sisters Amiibos better outfits?

Both Amiibos for Callie and Marie are NEVER getting used and are going STRAIGHT onto a shelf in my bookcase.

Imagine a big company like Nintendo announcing that they’ll only make these out of recycled plastic from now on, and that part of the profits will go to habitat restoration efforts.

I'm going to be camping out on the Nintendo website to buy them when they first come out! I can't get them any other way...

@ThatZeldaNerd yessir I’m a diehard fan!

@Zeldinion Right!? Now I need to dust off my Splatoon 3 just like I did Animal Crossing after discovering I can open more stores in Harv’s Island. With my backlog hell, I definitely need to go back and revisit Splatoon.

Edit: apologies for the thumbs down as i have big fat fingers. Tried to undo it but it does not seem to take.

How about we get some new Amiibos from literally ANY other Nintendo franchise… 🙄

@NFrealinkling lets goooooo! 😎

Can we get Amiibo...from other IPs? Please Nintendo?
