Ryu and Ken’s Super Smash Bros. amiibo actually work with the game too
The Nintendo Switch 2 has finally been fully unveiled along with some games, and for fighting game fans there was of course Street Fighter 6 announced for the new hybrid console.
One of the more interesting aspects of the reveal was the fact that Street Fighter 6 amiibo figures are being produced, and now we can get a better look at them — and what they can do.
Thanks to Nintendo Wire, we’ve got a good bit more information about the upcoming amiibo and some of their functions.
As was announced during the Nintendo Direct, there will be three SF6 amiibo up for grabs with Luke, Jamie and Kimberly getting the honors here.
On top of that, there will also be amiibo cards available with a Starter Pack containing all 22 characters from the game’s first year of content.
More packs are said to be coming in the future featuring new characters and new designs as well.
Part of the functionality of the figures and cards will be for customizing your in-game character with specific colors, outfits and button configurations that can be loaded with the devices.
Moreover, each amiibo and card unlocks a range of exclusive rewards in SF6 itself too.
The press release confirms they’ll unlock character-specific device wallpapers and photo frames while the figures will also give players access to exclusive music as well.
One more interesting thing is that they confirm the Ryu and Ken Super Smash Bros. amiibo will also work in SF6.
These three amiibo and cards are supposed to launch alongside the Nintendo Switch 2 on June 5, 2025.
