Additionally, two figures from “Super Mario Galaxy,” featuring Mario and Rosalina, were initially priced at $39.99 but will now be available for $34.99. This reduction translates to a $5 savings for consumers.
- Meta Knight (Kirby Air Riders): $49.99 reduced to $44.99
- Mario (Super Mario Galaxy): $39.99 reduced to $34.99
- Rosalina (Super Mario Galaxy): $39.99 reduced to $34.99
Major retailers, including Amazon, Best Buy, and GameStop, have updated their listings to reflect these new prices. This comes after a recent trend where Nintendo announced price hikes for various products in August 2023, including Amiibo.
Interestingly, the upcoming “Super Mario Bros. Wonder” Amiibo will be priced at $25 each, which marks a notable discount compared to previous figures like those from “Metroid Prime 4,” priced at $30, and a special figure featuring Viola, which cost $35 due to its larger size. This suggests a strategic shift in pricing as Nintendo looks to offer more value to collectors and fans.
As consumers await the release of these upcoming Amiibo, the question remains: will Nintendo continue to implement price reductions in the future? The shift in pricing strategy has certainly generated buzz among gamers and collectors alike.
