Amiibo will work on Switch 2
While only mentioned briefly during the Nintendo Direct, the company’s NFC-enabled plastic figurines known as Amiibo will continue to work with the Switch 2 via the right Joy-Con and new Pro controller. In fact, Nintendo is releasing even more of them this year, including a set of Sages from The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom as well as third-party Amiibo from Street Fighter 6.
We still don’t know what kinds of new functionality might be incorporated for games like Metroid Prime 4: Beyond or Mario Kart World but anyone’s big Amiibo collection will remain relevant heading into Nintendo’s next-gen console. —EG
