Splatoon 2 has had a lot of content added this Summer. In addition to getting constant weapon, gear, and map updates, the first Splatoon 2 DLC, Octo Expansion, hit just last month. To add more content to the Summer fun, the Pearl and Marina amiibos announced earlier this year will be releasing next week, and their perks have finally been unveiled.

そしてバトルを進めると、特別なギアを、アタマ・フク・クツ1種類ずつプレゼントしてくれるぞ。

Ahead of the amiibo release, fans were given a taste of what they have to look forward to with the upcoming amiibos. As with every amiibo, special gear is granted when you scan a figure, and the gear granted by Pearl and Marina respectively will grant players gear inspired by the duos outfits from the Octo Expansion. Splatoon amiibos have historically had players complete various challenges to unlock the special gear (as well as some extra cash to boot). As a result these amiibos will likely be no different for unlocking its specific in-game content. Also, a new mode will be added to Splatoon 2‘s built-in rhythm mini-game.

「イカラジオ2」には楽曲の追加はないが、amiibo「ヒメ」では「ヒメモード」が、amiibo「イイダ」では「イイダモード」がそれぞれ追加される。
機能は同じだが、見た目と効果音が変わるぞ。

In addition to this unlockable content, a brand new feature will be added to these two amiibos. Players will be able to pose with both Pearl and Marina in a special photo mode. Each character will have two specific scenes for picture taking. Each scene will consist of their default clothing that they sport for their normal news casts, and they will be standing in Inkopolis in the day time. The other scene has each character sporting their Octo Expansion outfits, and while still in Inkopolis, the day will turn to night, and the mood switches from a calm afternoon to a lively part.

また、ヒメやイイダと一緒に2ショット写真を撮ることができる。
ヒメとイイダは、ステージ衣装と私服を選択可能だ。
撮影のシチュエーションは、普段はハイカラスクエアのみだが、フェス開催中に限り、ステージに上って撮影することもできるぞ。

The Pearl and Marina Splatoon 2 amiibo pack will be releasing next week on July 13. Those interested can still capitalize on the $24.99 pre-orders that are going on, and it might not be a bad idea to jump on it, for highly anticipated amiibos have a reputation for selling out of stock quickly.
