Amiibo Announcement! Callie, Marie and Original recolours

Today Nintendo announced a new wave of Splatoon Amiibos hitting stores in North America on July 8th. Alongside brand new Callie and Marie Amiibos, we'll also be getting recolours of the original three Splatoon Amiibos.

The Squid Sisters will be available in a bundle for $24.99 USD​

The original Splatoon Amiibos unlocked special challenges for the single player missions, and the recolours will function the very same. The Squid Sisters Amiibo however will instead allow you to listen to various Squid Sisters songs, including a couple from the Choukaigi concert in Japan! Alongside those songs, you'll also be able to change Inkopolis Plaza to it's night time appearance featured during Splatfests, and unlock new dance animations for the Squid Sisters from their live concert performance.

The original three Splatoon Amiibo in fresh new colours!​

The Male and Female Inkling recolours will be available individually just as before for $12.99 USD, and you'll need to purchase the bundle package for $34.99 in order to get the Squid Amiibo like their original release.

Will you be picking up the Squid Sisters? How about the recoloured originals? Let us know in the comments and on Twitter @Squidboards!

 

"tasty textures, delicious details, savory sparkles" ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) pay attention to what they show for each phrase

 

Definitely getting the Squid Sisters amiibo. Not so much the recolored versions of the original amiibo, though; I've already unlocked all the gear and everything from them, so I don't need another.

 

Callie shall be mine.

 

The hype train is back in business boys! The Squid Sisters will be mine, shall make a good birthday present indeed

 

Just shut up Nintendo and take my money already. There is one thing I don't quite get. Will the recolors just be like the original 3 or will they provide new gear different from the other 3? I am up for more amiibo gear.

 

I'm hoping to get all five. I still haven't managed to nab any of the original three Splatoon Amiibos and they're getting more and more scarce to find in Irish shops. I'm glad they're re-releasing them (but I'd have been even more excited to see one of the recolours be in the yellow colour scheme, just because it's my favourite).
The glitter detail in Callie and Marie's outfits is adorable.

 

I saw it on my twitter feed, it seems like Callie and Marie unlocks Music instead of giving Challenges, i heard that there's also recolored amiibo figures too.

 

I'm getting both of them.

 

I'll get them both. I'll also make sure to update the Splatoon Music thread since they'll have new songs. :)

 

The recolours are so niceee. I was able to snag all of the original three amiibos from someone. I will definitely be getting all 5 of these.

 

I will definitely be picking all of these up. Purple is my favorite color so

 

Getting all 5 for my birthday (hopefully), because my birthday is THE DAY AFTER they come out.

 

I'VE ALWAYS WANTED TO KEEP THE NIGHT-TIME PLAZA!!! I wish the recolored amiibos gave you new gear though, like an octoling wig or something...

That would be AWSOME! And same here, I always thought the nighttime plaza was soo cool

 

Good bye money HELLO SQUID SISTERS!

 

I hope that at least recoloured inkling boy and girl give hero slosher and splatling if Callie and Marie don't, and then the recoloured squid could give hero subs and specials to the other hero weapons or a hero brush or blaster (or both!)

 

I wonder why they don't start selling the squid amiibo separately. I really don't want to buy the 3 pack considering I don't have the money....

 

Marie amiibo or bust.

 

I'm planning on buy them all! However, I wish the recolours had new gear to go along with them.
