In a recent Corporate Management Policy briefing document, Nintendo unveiled that it has sold over 77 million amiibo figures since its release back in 2014.
While the buzz and excitement for the figure-to-life figurines have died down a bit, recent games have been keeping it relevant. Like with Splatoon 3 and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. The new Splatoon 3 amiibos will have new outfits for players when scanned in the game. While the last amiibos of the Smash Bros. series is nearing completion. We have the upcoming Sepiroth and Kazuya amiibos that were shown prior. Pyra/Mythra and Sora being the last two remaining for the Season 2 DLC of the game.
While not noted in the slide, it is assumed that all forms of amiibo are accounted for in this number. This would include the Animal Crossing amiibo cards, and the limited Mario Cereal amiibo. We’ve come a long way since the back when it was released alongside Super Smash Bros Wii U and 3DS. From a shortage to a steady flow. Speaking as a collector, it is nice to see these NFC figures done with improved quality over the years. Even allowed custom amiibos to grace the community. Whether you think of them as physical DLC or not, it has made an impact nonetheless.
So when can we expect the Sepiroth amiibo to be released Nintendo?
