Splatoon Raiders Amiibos Combined Cost More Than The Game Itself
Overview & Key Takeaways
In just over two months, Splatoon Raiders hopes to make a splash on Switch 2. Nintendo just revealed the release date for the spin-off game--July 23--as well as a more budget-friendly $50 price tag digitally. But if you want all three Amiibos launching alongside the game, be prepared to shell out more cash than for the game itself.
Each Amiibo will cost $25, combined equaling $75 for the Deep Cut trio. Obviously, no one is forcing you to purchase all of them. Big Man, Shiver, and Frye are up for preorder on Nintendo's website, though no details are offered yet about their functionality with Splatoon Raiders.
Each Amiibo of the Deep Cut trio costs $25, meaning it's $75 for all three.
The official Splatoon account on X did unveil that the three Amiibos can be connected together at their bases. It's a cool detail, as Deep Cut's poses work individually or collectively. On top of that, Splatoon Raiders will be one of the first Switch 2 games utilizing tiered pricing between digital and physical. While $50 on the eShop, the title will cost $60 for a boxed copy. That's still cheaper than the trio of Amiibos, though.

Splatoon Raiders is a single-player-focused adventure game, with no PvP multiplayer whatsoever. However, Nintendo has stated that players can work together with three friends online or wirelessly to explore the Spirhalite Islands. So far, the Switch 2 exclusive seems like an expansion of Salmon Run from the mainline series, with numbers popping off enemies as you hit them and loot to salvage.
