Performing together as Off the Hook (or Tentacles, as they're known in Japan), Pearl and Marina replace the Squid Sisters we rocked out with in the original Splatoon game, and represent both the Inklings and the Octolings. "These new amiibo are off the hook!" promises Nintendo.

As yet a release date has not been finalised, but Nintendoreckons they'll be available in stores "later this year."
