Prior to its launch, Nintendo held a special presentation where three new amiibo from the Splatoon series. These are: Inkling (yellow), Octoling (blue) and Smallfry. Although no release date was given at the time, It seems that these figures would arrive before the end of the year.
Although at the moment there is nothing official, a recent update on Nintendo’s security pages has revealed that the Amiibo certification date was held at the end of August for Smallfry and September 12 for Octoling and Inkling, which means that the gap between now and the launch of these products should not be long.
According to GoNintendo, “there is typically a 2-month wait” between the end of production and the arrival of these products in stores. Thus, it is estimated that the Amiibo could reach the market between “late October and early November”.
Nevertheless, It is very important to mention that at the moment there is no official information, and the Amiibo could arrive on a totally different date than expected. On related topics, we already know when the new Splatfest will take place. Similarly, pirated copies of Splatoon 3.
