Looks like amiibo will still be a thing on Switch 2

A slew of new amiibo were quietly revealed in addition to all the Switch 2 info shared on April 2, confirming details gleaned from Federal Communications Commission (FCC) filings a month ago.

The new figures, based on characters from The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and Street Fighter 6, will launch alongside the Switch 2 on June 5. Six Sage descendants Tulin, Yunobo, Riju, and Sidon represent the Zelda franchise, while Street Fighter newcomers Luke, Jamie, and Kimberly join the previously released Ryu and Ken figures as part of the fighting game’s amiibo offerings.

As with past releases, all of these new amiibo will unlock special content in their respective games. A figure based on Mineru’s Construct from Tears of the Kingdom is also planned for the future.

Despite an FCC filing indicating the new Joy-Con 2 controllers would maintain amiibo support on Switch 2, it was unclear whether or not Nintendo intended to release more figures. That sound you just heard was collectors and completionists groaning in agony over learning they’ll need to continue getting up early to hunt down limited supplies of these silly little plastic doodads.
