New Legend of Zelda and Street Fighter 6 Amiibo Arrive With Highest Prices Yet

Nintendo's popular amiibo line is entering unprecedented territory with a notable price hike for its latest wave of collectible figures, including new releases tied to The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and Street Fighter 6.

This development comes as Nintendo continues to expand its hardware and software offerings for the Nintendo Switch, keeping fans and collectors closely watching industry trends.

The newest amiibo figures, featuring beloved characters Sidon, Riju, Yunobo, and Tulin from The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, as well as Luke, Kimberly, and Jamie from Street Fighter 6, will soon be available for preorder across North America.

Long recognized for their functionality and collectibility, amiibo prices have historically positioned them as accessible memorabilia for Nintendo Switch players.

However, retailer listings now reflect a significant shift in pricing. According to recently updated product pages on GameStop, each of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom amiibo figures is slated to retail at $30, representing the highest price point for this series to date.

The Street Fighter 6 amiibo figures are listed at an even steeper $40 each.

This marks a stark increase from the initial Super Smash Bros.

amiibo wave, which debuted at a manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) of $13 per figure. Other major retailers, such as Best Buy, have currently listed the Zelda amiibo at $20 and the Street Fighter 6 figures at $30.

However, these numbers may not be final; GameStop's listings are the most recent and could be indicative of the current pricing direction for upcoming amiibo releases.

Fans and collectors should stay alert for potential adjustments as preorders officially open. The recent escalation in prices occurs amidst a dynamic period for the video game industry, with tariffs and supply chain fluctuations affecting hardware and accessory pricing.

Despite earlier concerns over the price of new Nintendo Switch hardware, Nintendo confirmed today that the base price of the Switch 2 will remain at $450 in the United States, with the Mario Kart World bundle set for $500.

However, Nintendo noted that accessory costs, including collectible figures like amiibo, may increase beyond initial announcements. Nintendo's approach to amiibo has transformed collectible gaming accessories into sought-after memorabilia, drawing dedicated fans and driving secondary market demand since the series' debut.

As these new The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and Street Fighter 6 amiibo launch at elevated price points, industry observers will be watching closely to see both consumer response and future pricing strategies as Nintendo continues to support the Nintendo Switch and eShop ecosystem.
