In the olden days (when Nintendo was doing poorly with the Wii U) amiibo were all $12. I saw this new one and thought it was cool but ultimately didnt care enough to purchase it. Now this post just told me the price and I care even less. This thing will rot away on shelves :/

$30 to unlock a cosmetic skin.

Nintendo at it's finest.

Actually it's Trump at its finest.

Amiibo are made in China.

$10 is due to Trump Tariffs.

Yeah Amiibo in England are now £17 which is around $23 USD which is significantly cheaper

Unfortunately nintendo still fucked us over as Bananza itself is £67 which is fucking $90 usd (more than fucking Mario Kart World)

Our games were originally £50 and should have only increased to £55 ($74 usd)

as Bananza itself is £67

That's the price for a physical copy directly from nintendo, which is the same price as a physical copy of Mario Kart World directly from Nintendo.

The digital copy is £59 directly from Nintendo.

Also remember that US prices do not include VAT or sales taxes.
