Splatoon 3 Grand Festival: New Amiibo Sets Now Available for Nintendo Switch

Nintendo Switch fans and Splatoon 3 enthusiasts have a busy week ahead as Nintendo officially launches two brand-new amiibo sets to coincide with the eagerly awaited Splatoon 3 Grand Festival event.

The new collectibles, which dropped just in time for the festival, add fresh content and exclusive in-game rewards to one of the Nintendo Switch's most popular multiplayer titles. The two newly introduced amiibo 2-packs, the 'Side Order Set' featuring fan-favorite duo Pearl & Marina, and the 'Alterna Set' starring Callie & Marie, are each priced at $29.99 USD, or regional equivalent.

These amiibo enable players to unlock exclusive gear within Splatoon 3, offering a distinctive edge and customization options on the battlefield.

Both sets cater to long-standing fans of the series as well as new players eager to expand their collections with iconic characters from the Splatoon franchise. Demand has been exceptionally high since Nintendo announced the sets alongside details for the Splatoon 3 Grand Festival.

Initial preorder stock quickly sold out on Nintendo's official online store.

However, major retailers have now received supplies, giving fans another shot at grabbing these sought-after figures.

Additionally, a range of other themed Grand Festival merchandise is available via Nintendo's online store, capitalizing on the event's momentum and the community's enthusiasm. The Splatoon 3 Grand Festival itself is scheduled to commence on September 13, 2024, inviting players worldwide to unite and compete in teams inspired by the past, present, or future.

With participation expected to reach record numbers, the festival is set to reinforce Splatoon 3's reputation as one of Nintendo's top live-service experiences on the Switch. In an official statement, Nintendo highlighted the appeal of the new amiibo: "These releases celebrate Splatoon 3’s iconic characters and offer fans meaningful enhancements to their in-game experience." The company expressed gratitude for the ongoing enthusiasm shown by the community and intends to support the game with further content and collectibles throughout the year. As the excitement builds, the launch of the Pearl & Marina Side Order Set and Callie & Marie Alterna Set marks another milestone for Nintendo's popular amiibo series.

For collectors and competitive players alike, these new additions promise not only to enhance gameplay but also to serve as prized keepsakes from one of 2024’s defining Nintendo Switch events.
