Nintendo Announces Pricing for Amiibo Figures

Nintendo has announced pricing for the Amiibo figures that were announced at E3.

The first twelve Amiibo figures (pictured above) will be available for $12.99, which isn’t too far off from the alleged leak prices that had each figure priced at £12.85.

You can now pre-order the figures at various retailers, but there’s still no concrete release date for them at this time.

Nintendo teased its plans for Amiibo earlier this year before properly revealing the figure-based platform at E3. The figures essentially act as memory cards, allowing you to transfer data between Wii Us.

The most prominent demonstration of the figures’ use has been with Super Smash Bros. Wii U, which will allow you to migrate custom movesets between systems.
