A fascinating aspect of Amiibo figures is that they not only look appealing; they also provide some exciting features within a game. For enthusiasts of Street Fighter 6, these collectibles deliver a fair amount of helpful capabilities. Despite Amiibo figures experiencing significant price hikes leading up to the launch of the Switch 2 console in June, a more “cost-effective” option exists in the form of Amiibo Cards. For Street Fighter 6, you can acquire a set of 22 cards conveniently packaged together. The Street Fighter 6: Year One Collection Amiibo Cards will be exclusively available at GameStop, currently priced at $40—equivalent to the cost of a single Street Fighter 6 Amiibo.
The collection encompasses 22 fighters from Street Fighter 6’s inaugural year, featuring downloadable characters like AKI and Akuma. These Amiibo Cards can retain player configurations such as character costumes, colors, and button layouts, making them handy for quickly loading your gaming preferences whenever you jump on the Switch 2 for some virtual clashes.
As a quick reminder, here’s the complete character lineup from the first year of Street Fighter 6, all of whom will have their respective cards included in the pack:

If you’re interested in acquiring some Street Fighter 6 Amiibos, there are currently three options available to choose from.
Luke, Kimberly, and Jamie have all received the collectible plastic treatment, and what makes these figures appealing is that they reflect the visual style of Street Fighter 6. Each is valued at $40, and similar to the cards, they allow players to unlock character-specific features.
Street Fighter 6 Amiibo
If you haven’t experienced it yet, Street Fighter 6 is now available for preorder on Switch 2. This collection includes the full game along with all downloadable content released during its first two years, featuring recent characters such as M. Bison, Terry Bogard, Mai, and Elena. It’s set to be a launch title for the Switch 2 and will introduce two new gameplay modes—Gyro Battle and Calorie Contest—with Capcom aiming for a fluid 60fps experience.
An important detail is that Street Fighter 6 operates via a Game-Key Card, meaning the cartridge serves as an authentication key. You will need to download the game onto your Switch 2 after a one-time internet verification to confirm the device’s legitimacy. Once that’s done and the cartridge stays inserted, you can play offline indefinitely. Additionally, these cartridges can be resold should you wish to part ways with the game, as they aren’t locked to your console.
As you anticipate the arrival of your Switch 2 console and Street Fighter 6 game, consider preordering the nostalgic and quirky Street Fighter animated series from the 1990s. Discotek has compiled all 26 episodes onto Blu-ray, complete with a variety of appealing bonus content, including an art gallery, gaming-themed menus, and commentary featuring several prominent figures within the fighting game community. Priced at $40, this collection is set to be released on May 27.
Alternatively, you can purchase some Street Fighter Blu-rays right now to pass the time. The 1994 live-action film featuring Raul Julia as M. Bison and Jean-Claude Van Damme as Guile is available in both a standard format and a collector’s steelbook edition. Additionally, the remarkable Street Fighter 2 anime film has recently been enhanced to 4K quality, offering stunning visuals like never before.
