Splatoon 3 amiibo is releasing next month - Special gear and more revealed
With Splatoon 3 off to a good start, it's time for Nintendo to finally bring out the big guns. The three amiibos, Octoling (Blue), The Inkling (Yellow), and Smallfry, which were announced before the game went live, finally have a release date.
According to the official tweet, they are set to arrive on November 11, 2022. Although it's been a long time coming, fans can't wait to get hold of the amiibos. Here's what the developers had to say:
What makes these figurines unique is the fact that they provide extra goodies to players in-game. Unlike other titles that offer redeem codes alongside a purchase, Nintendo does things a bit differently.
Based on the official information, players will be able to use their amiibo to obtain some bonus items. To do so, they'll have to 'tap' the amiibo(s) on a compatible controller to unlock special in-game gear.
Additionally, scanning the amiibo will bring the character to life in Splatoon 3. Players will be able to save their sets to a specific amiibo, so when they tap 'it' on the gamepad, it immediately equips the gear that was saved.
As seen in the official tweet, players will be able to unlock/obtain three pieces of unique gear per amiibo: one headgear, one shirt/clothes, and one pair of shoes. By the looks of it, fans who've been waiting for the new gear will finally get what they've been hoping for.
On that note, the gear showcased in the video looks amazing. Not taking into account the fish bone that's sticking out of the player's mouth, the Mad Max inspired outfit is going to steal the show for the most part. That said, personal choice will play a major role here.
Those who manage to get hold of all three Splatoon 3 amiibos will be spoilt for choice. On that note, it's hard to believe
