You can read the question and Nintendo’s response below. Nintendo has mentioned the service will be worth the wait in a recent Q&A. It is not yet known what function these two new amiibo will have in the game so we’ll have to stay tuned for that.Īlthough the Wii U didn’t charge for an online service, that is changing with the Switch and it will cost $19.99 once the service finally launches later this year. These new figurines will be releasing later this year as part of a 2-pack set later this year. Pearl and Marina, better know as the hosts of “Off the Hook”, which also might be better known as the unskippable cutscene every time you start up Splatoon 2, are both getting their own amiibo.

Splatoon 2 has sold more than 4.9 million copies worldwide so far. The game itself is a follow-up to the surprise hit that was Splatoon on the Wii U. Splatoon 2 launched as a Nintendo Switch exclusive last year and quickly became one of the best selling games on the console. The kicker on top of this is all of this will cost $59.99, which is also the cost of the base game by itself.īy purchasing the Starter Edition, players will get access to the normal Splatoon 2 experience but will also get a lengthy strategy guide which can be used to help gain the edge on new and experienced players alike.
Included with the Splatoon 2 Starter Edition is the base game, a 1oo-page strategy and two sheets of Splatoon stickers.
