Support for amiibo is set to continue on the Switch 2! As part of this, Capcom will be releasing three new amiibo for Street Fighter 6.
Nintendo initially revealed this information during the Switch 2 Direct and during day two of its Treehouse event it followed this up with a closer look at Luke, Kimberly and Jamie, along with the new amiibo cards for the game.
As you can see, they're bigger than existing ones like the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Ryu and Ken amiibo:
These amiibo will allow you to save some of your data and settings, unlock exclusive rewards (like "music" and "device wallpapers") and transfer your configurations to other systems. In addition to this are 22-themed amiibo cards which will also unlock some exclusive rewards in-game.
Listings for these new amiibo are starting to pop up on certain retailer websites in the US for $29.99 each. They'll be released alongside the Switch 2 and Street Fighter 6 on 5th June 2025.
Would you be interested in any of these new amiibo? Tell us in the comments.

I love street fighter 6, so these will probably be a day 1 for me. very excited to play the game on switch when it releases!
$30 each? Good lord.
No Chun Li??? Why no Chun Li???
“Device wallpapers”? As in, for your phone? Or for the console itself?!?!??!! That would be a clumsy way to announce the feature 😅
i need a Juri amiibo
Any more amiibo's for my collection is always welcomed 😍
$30 each plus it entirely being characters introduced in 6 makes these an easy pass. I might spring for, like, a Chun-Li or Cammy or Zangief but I really don't care enough about Luke to eat that kind of cost.
@8thDoctor Your pfp goes very well with that statement LMAO
Ohh yes, i cant believe how good this one looks on the switch 2.
Will double dip. Already have it on pc, but this is perfect for handheld.
$30 EACH!!! Absolutely insane. Time to learn how to sell on eBay, because I am done with amiibo.
what a wierd selection of fighters. hard pass...
no bison? chun li? honda?... boring
With prices that high I don't think these will sell well. But they look awesome, so will probably become extremely sought after by amiibo fans in the future
Waiting to see how much they'll cost here in Italy, but I'm more likely to get the amiibo figures than not (from My Nintendo Store as usual) while skipping the cards - that said, fingers crossed we'll eventually see more figures of classic characters, too!
Where is cammy,?
How much do the amiibo cards cost?
30 on amiibo too?!... I remember when these were in the teens... Nintendo sold the 3 pack for that ...
Squid sisters, pythra amiibo. Off the hook etc
30 for Amiibos each...that's a huge jump from previous. If they were like like Pikachu detective for that price but small Amiibos?
Those cards better not be coming in bloody blind packs.
The reason they're so huge is the same reason its these three in particular: recycling models from the special edition
$30 each? What the eff Ninty?
@Jester676
Even Detective Pikachu wasn't that expensive!
It's bad enough that the new Zelda ones jumped up to $20 each!
I like the Luke and Kimberly sculpts a lot.
They're all good actually.
That's pricey for an amiibo, but inflation and tariffs made that inevitable.
Still need a Chun Li amiibo.
Would've been fun if the game supported the Terry amiibo too, since he's playable. Gonna pick up the Kim amiibo. I'm probably not getting the game again on Switch, since playing a six button fighter on a four face button controller sounds like a horrible time, but I'm happy more people will be playing this stellar game!
@Spider-Kev Just a example it would have to be that big if so.
As much as I have enjoyed collecting the TOTK amiibo's, I honestly enjoy collecting amiibo cards even more. Illustrations on a card IMO are much more vibrant and satisfying of a memento to collect than the plastic molding of a normal amiibo. Plus amiibo cards are thicker and more durable than the thin cardboard of TCG cards due to the NFC chips embedded, which I prefer. I would pay more money for every TCG card to be printed thicker like an amiibo card.
@GreenTea thanks
I’d thought Smash had freed me from the amiibo hunt. Guess I am back to stalking best buy.
Also SF6 looks so good on S2! I’m ready Capcom.
I am going to need a case/holder for the cards.
I collect most amiibo but I can't name these characters off the top of my head at all. Like theres so many classic street fighter characters that are gaming icons such as entire cast of sf 2 so why these 3 first.
@Roibeard64 these are the flagship characters for SF6. Same as Alex for SF3, and Abel for SF4. Almost every SF past 2 introduces a new flagship lead. The cards give you everybody else. They got comics and statues for the original launch as well. The mad gear SF6 box had Luke and Kimberly figures.
Also they are the young blood. The SF2 characters are all middle aged/mentoring now. Cody is out of jail and is a mayor now. Time moves on.
Edit: Forgot about Rashid being the lead of SF5. I had to go boot up my PS5 to check lmao.
I want the cards.
And I may double dip for this incredible game. Cross save with other platforms, I hope ?
Hmmmm, I wonder why they didn't make a Chun Li amiibo or Cammy?
