Nintendo’s line of amiibo collectible figures are quirky little things. For the past decade, the Wii U and Nintendo Switch have offered a relatively affordable way to purchase official Nintendo-themed merchandise - but they also double as a way to unlock things like cosmetics and gameplay features in the best Nintendo Switch games.

And indeed, they’ve been largely overshadowed by the relentless Nintendo Switch 2 leaks and rumor mill. On top of that, I do feel like the novelty of these collectibles has long since worn off, with game compatibility waning for the figures in recent years.
