Share this @internewscast.com

Nintendo’s upcoming amiibo collections are seeing a price increase at major US retailers like Walmart, GameStop, and Best Buy. The newly released Street Fighter 6 amiibo have jumped from $29.99 to $39.99, while the latest Legend of Zelda amiibo have risen from $19.99 to $29.99, according to reports from Nintendo Life.

Scheduled to accompany the Switch 2 launch on June 5th, these amiibo feature characters from Street Fighter, such as Luke, Jamie, and Kimberly, as well as Riju, Sidon, Yunobo, and Tulin from The Legend of Zelda.

Despite Nintendo’s assurance last week that the price of the $449.99 console would remain unchanged, its accessories tell a different story. The Switch 2’s Joy-Con, Pro Controller, and camera have all experienced price hikes. GameStop shoppers noticed the amiibo pricing adjustment last week, while Walmart and Best Buy seemed to follow suit this Monday.

The Verge reached out to Nintendo with a request for more information, but didn’t immediately hear back. The Switch 2 and its amiibo will be available for preorder on April 24th.
