Archive correction — November 11, 2026: Our April 1 article described Luke and Jamie amiibo as newly released for $9.99, but Nintendo's listings identify them as June 5, 2025 Switch 2 launch accessories with a US list price of $39.99. It also omitted the matching Kimberly figure. This updated article corrects the date, product functions and pricing context, retaining the original URL and publication date.
When did Street Fighter 6 amiibo release? Nintendo lists the Luke, Jamie and Kimberly figures for June 5, 2025, alongside the Switch 2 release of Street Fighter 6: Years 1–2 Fighters Edition. They were not a new March or April 2026 product drop.
Which three figures are part of the lineup?
The official Nintendo amiibo lineup identifies three character figures in this Street Fighter 6 group:
- Luke, representing one of the game's familiar modern rivals and major World Tour personalities.
- Jamie, the stylish breakdance-inspired fighter.
- Kimberly, the agile Bushinryu practitioner.
These figures are compatible accessories for the Nintendo Switch 2 version and supported related software, rather than a set of newly playable DLC characters. The figures do not automatically grant permanent ownership of a fighter who is otherwise locked behind separate paid content.
What can the amiibo actually do?
Nintendo's Luke product description says an amiibo can save a player's outfit, color, control type and button configurations for the corresponding character. This is useful when changing controller setups or returning to the game with a preferred configuration.
The figures also offer exclusive in-game cosmetic rewards, including music and device wallpapers. A saved control setting is a convenience feature, not a permanent buff to a fighter's attack damage or an essential tool for competitive ranking.
Our original article described the figures as proof of a newly launched DLC season, and implied their game benefits were extensive. The actual accessory features are modest, documented and focused on convenience and extras.
Did the figures cost only $9.99 each?
No. Nintendo's US hardware listings identify a $39.99 regular list price for the Luke amiibo. The other two figures launched in the same product family with their own regional listings.
The old headline price of $9.99 did not match the documented US first-party list price and should not be repeated as a guaranteed launch bargain. Promotions, resale listings and regional taxes can change current prices, so readers should compare today's actual store listings.
That price difference matters when deciding whether to collect all three characters or buy only a favorite. Buying a physical amiibo is not necessary to play normal Street Fighter 6 matches.
How is this tied to Switch 2?
Street Fighter 6 arrived on Nintendo Switch 2 on June 5, 2025 in both a base version and the Years 1–2 Fighters Edition. The latter packaged the base game together with its first two years of character content.
The three amiibo were a separate way to celebrate the launch. They did not change the core roster for PlayStation or Xbox players and did not automatically add a special new story campaign to the Switch release.
Controllers and online features depend on the game and platform. An amiibo should be thought of as an NFC collectible rather than a substitute for the corresponding game or an online subscription.
Does the accessory work on every platform?
Nintendo says compatible amiibo functions work with the relevant Nintendo systems and software. It does not establish that a PlayStation or PC player can scan the figure directly to unlock the same rewards in those versions.
If your main interest is Street Fighter on a non-Nintendo platform, check its own game settings and storefront rather than buying a Nintendo NFC figure on the assumption that cross-platform scanning is supported.
A game can be available across several systems while an optional peripheral works only where an appropriate NFC reader is present and supported.
What about amiibo cards?
Nintendo also introduced a Street Fighter 6 amiibo Card Starter Set during the original 2025 launch period. The card product is separate from the three larger collectible figures and is useful for players more interested in scanning functions than displaying a statuette.
Cards, individual figures and physical edition bundles do not all contain identical items. Review the actual SKU and a retailer's included-items description before making a purchase.
Have there been other Street Fighter 6 updates?
Yes. The game has continued receiving fighter updates and other content, but these should not be presented as the same event as the June 2025 physical accessory release.
For example, a new character arriving in 2026 is a separate news item requiring its own release note. An archive should preserve that chronology instead of combining several different dates into one vague announcement about an active game.
Bottom line: the Luke, Jamie and Kimberly amiibo launched June 5, 2025, not in April 2026. Nintendo documents outfit/settings storage, music and wallpaper extras; its US Luke listing shows $39.99, not $9.99.
