Despite being less busy, Nintendo’s amiibo line still gets new figurines regularly. Considering this, Nintendo’s Super Smash Bros. Ultimate amiibo series may have updated packaging. A Famiboards forum member posted new look photos. It’s garnered attention online because the back of the box makes “no mention” of the Switch or other compatible platforms: Famiboards user Ajimi: “I work at retail in ...

After some teasing last month, Nintendo has announced a new Nintendo Direct about Animal Crossing for today, November 2. The Direct will premiere at 7am PDT / 10am EDT. This event will be about Animal Crossing’s fall update, as well as a new version of Animal Crossing: New Leaf that comes packaged with the new update. New Amiibo cards are to be expected ...

Not too long ago, Nintendo announced that they have shipped around 10.5 million Amiibo since their launch late last year. However, we’re all aware of the issues surrounding the availability of Amiibo figures. Some figures are damn near impossible to find, and even if you can find one for sale, it’s probably from a scalper who’s going to charge you way ...

Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer is not a typical Animal Crossing game. I cannot stress this enough. If you go into Happy Home Designer expecting a sequel to New Leaf, you’re going to be extremely disappointed. For reference, I rolled the credits in about ten hours. Yes, I actually saw the credits in an Animal Crossing game. It was quite strange. There’s still a ...

Remember when Skylanders and Disney Infinity were released, and there were little to no shortages of figures? That all changed when Nintendo tossed its red cap in the ring. For a company that used to make toys prior to video games, Nintendo’s done a remarkably poor job with its amiibos. Collectors have to be dedicated to deal with the shortages, ...

Today, Nintendo released a very special Nintendo Direct. Even though it’s a short video (and Nintendo is calling it a Nintendo Direct Micro), it announced a lot of really awesome things that Nintendo fans are sure to be excited about. You can watch the Nintendo Direct Micro below. So let’s recap and expand on what Nintendo has announced. First, a ...

Nintendo have issued a statement via Facebook addressing the rarity of certain amiibo figures. Since the release of the first wave in November 2014, demand for the toys has continually and drastically outweighed the supply from the Japanese company. Scalping has become a major issue as a result, with some amiibo being listed on eBay at extortionate prices just hours ...

Nintendo has struck gold with its amiibo platform. The first wave of figures were relatively easy to find. However, the second, third, and fourth wave was a different story. Certain figures like Rosalina, Little Mac, and Captain Falcon are essentially sold out. If you aren’t lucky to land a pre-order online your only other option is to camp outside a ...

Recently we saw the release of Nintendo’s line of interactive toys, the Amiibo. These are not the first “Toys to Life” figures to see release. For a few years now, we have had the Skylanders series, which introduced the concept with Skylanders: Spyro’s Adventures. There is also the Disney Infinity series, which entered the genre in 2013. Since, then, the toys ...

The first shows the Wii U running on a desktop computer with an Xbox 360 controller in use to navigate the menus. He is ...
