Histórico of unusual releases by Nintendo
The peculiarity in the amiibo launch strategy is not an isolated fact in Nintendo’s trajectory. The company has a history of introducing collectible figures at times that, to some, seem out of step with the life cycle of the corresponding games. Essa approach raises discussions about the intentions behind these choices.
A notable example was the release of Resident Evil Requiem for Nintendo Switch 2, which arrived on February 27th of this year, simultaneously with the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S and PC versions. Contudo, the exclusive Leon and Grace amiibos for the game, which would offer unique features, will only be available on July 30th. Embora this interval is shorter than that of Mineru’s Construct amiibo, many Resident Evil Requiem players will have already completed their campaigns by the time the figures arrive. Essa repeat practice suggests an intentional strategy by Nintendo, which may aim to maintain interest in older titles or create new waves of consumption for products from already established franchises.
