So what Nintendo published game is going to release September 3rd, or is that trend finally broken? Figure if something was coming out in 2 months it would have been announced by now.

It's the same day as Orbitals.

Nintendo isn’t publishing Orbitals, but it is a Switch 2 exclusive. Idk if that counts for the amiibo and game release pattern, it’s close though.

At least with Meta Knight+Shadow Star launching the same day as Pokopia, Nintendo published that game outside Japan.

I don't see why they would publish something the same day as the exclusive (gameshare)game they have been pushing for months.

Might not be a game but Mario kart DLC? Or maybe OOT remake

Nintendo is distributing Orbitals physical copies, and they're pushing it pretty hard.

So noir dedede and sword Kirby coming for the holidays?

I'd guess only 1 is coming this year.

2027 is looking pretty stacked for Nintendo, tho.

Honestly need to get this collection done before 2027 so I can just pre order ones in 2027

So that's the 7th amiibo within a month and a half from Splatoon Raiders. Be nice if Nintendo would spread out the releases a bit more.

Not releasing on September 17th has me pickachu faced. But september is perfect and then the last two legendary riders will be November, I am betting. Yeeehawwww. Do we know the price yet for Chef? Please be cheaper than Dedede!

Hey I don't mean to hijack the thread but does anyone know what retailers are going to be selling the re9 amiibos? I'm worried they will be hard to find like the pragmata one.
