‘Please hang on to them’
It was confirmed during theSplatoon 2heavy Nintendo Direct event, but the development team took to Twitter to remind everyone that yes, originalSplatoonamiibo will work with the sequel. Expanding a bit on that previously revealed info however is a close look atwhat some of the amiibo will unlock(school, ninja, and robot outfits were teased), and the note that old toys will provide “special gear,” as opposed to challenges.
Although there could be more info yet until its July 21 release (E3 will no doubt have at least one presentation dedicated to it), it seems as if Nintendo has backed away from locking big patches of content like extra modes behind the figures. Now we’re basically just moving into cosmetic territory.
Although theSplatoonamiibo have never been rare, that’s probably good news for most of you out there that hate the little things on principle.
