Kirby Air Riders amiibo: Final Figures Sword Kirby & Dragoon and Noir Dedede & Hydra Now Available

Nintendo has completed its recent Kirby Air Riders amiibo campaign with the release of the final two figures: Sword Kirby & Dragoon and Noir Dedede & Hydra. The amiibo line accompanies Nintendo’s ongoing support for the Kirby brand and follows a series of updates that added compatibility and stability to the game, according to reporting by Nintendo Life. Background Kirby Air Riders traces its roots to HAL Laboratory and Nintendo, with the original Kirby Air Ride launching on Nintendo’s GameCube in the early 2000s. The franchise has since become a frequent subject of merchandise and amiibo support from Nintendo. The most recent amiibo rollout brings the total Kirby Air Riders figures to seven. What the new amiibo do Nintendo’s product descriptions and accompanying coverage explain that scanning these amiibo in Kirby Air Riders will summon in-game Figure Players that can be trained and leveled. Players can also swap riders and machines, mirroring the game’s mechanic of mixing different pilots and vehicles to change performance and appearance. Rewritten quote Nintendo’s in-product guidance explains that tapping an amiibo in Kirby Air Riders summons a Figure Player you can train and level, and that the system supports swapping riders and machines so players can select both rider and vehicle combinations in-game. Price and availability Each of the new figures is listed at $54.99 / £41.99 (or regional equivalent) and is available from the Nintendo Store as well as brick-and-mortar and online retailers. Collectors and players completing the series should note there are seven amiibo in the Kirby Air Riders collection. Recent software support Nintendo Life’s coverage notes a recent game update that deployed bug fixes, and earlier in June the game’s Version 1.3.3 update added amiibo compatibility for these figures. Those updates are cited as the software groundwork that enables the new amiibo functionality. Why it matters For collectors and competitive players alike, the final two amiibo close out the set and expand in-game customization options through Figure Players and rider/machine swapping. Availability through Nintendo’s official store and major retailers ensures wide access for fans completing the collection.
