Jigglypuff amiibo set to be a Target exclusive
Posted on 9 years ago by Dennis Gagliardotto(@LyonHart_) in News | 8 Comments
The hunt continues as everyone’s favorite singing Pokémon, Jigglypuff, will be made a Target exclusive, according to the listing on their site.
I think it’s safe to say that when it comes to amiibo, consumers want to be able to walk into their preferred retailer to pick up their desired figure instead of being forced to go to one that may or may not be within the area of someone looking to pick one up.
We’ve seen disastrous turnouts in the US with the amiibo that have been made exclusive so far — Rosalina at Target (who wouldn’t be restocked after their initial shipment), Shulk at Gamestop, Lucario at Toys R Us, and Meta Knight at Best Buy (I’m not even sure if he ever came out) — and more people end up upset than pleased.
Now with the port strike seemingly resolved, it’s certainly possible that Jigglypuff will probably be the easiest exclusive to get your hands on out of all the ones announced (including Ness which will be a Gamestop exclusive when he releases with Wave 4 on May 29th). Let’s just hope that this time around Nintendo gives a sufficient amount for Targets around the US.
Nintendo promised that the Super Mario line of amiibo would be provided in abundance, and this is certainly true (sans Toad), so we can try to be optimistic about Jigglypuff’s supply. It also helps that Jigglypuff is a Pokémon, which increases her chance of being readily available, even if you are forced to go exclusively to a retailer you may or may not agree with.
Do you plan on picking up Jigglypuff when the amiibo releases? Let us know in the comments below!

Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem producer talks about the game, shares some insight
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 35 Comments
Shinjiro Takada, producer of Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem (or Illusory Revelations#FE… or whatever you’d like to call it!), recently posted a message about the game in light of today’s Nintendo Direct reveal.
In his note, Takada apologized for the long wait in showing the project. He also talks about how it was difficult for Atlus to incorporate the Fire Emblem aspect, but the team “worked carefully with Nintendo to ensure it’d work well and deliver the feeling you get from the series.”
There’s plenty of additional information in Takada’s lengthy message. You can find it below.

Illusory Revelations ? Fire Emblem – Producer
Shinjiro TakadaGreetings!
It’s nice to meet all of you, or shall I say, see all of you again. This is Shinjiro Takada from ATLUS. Usually, I am responsible for working on the Devil Survivor* series, but this time, I was tasked with working on the production for the upcoming crossover title “Illusory Revelations ? Fire Emblem*”
After over two long years of keeping you waiting, we felt it was finally time to showcase this game. Did you have a look at the new PV*?
This is the result of our collaboration work on the “Fire Emblem” series. I think many people will find it quite different than they had originally expected. Originally, it was very challenging for us to get the “Fire Emblem” aspect into the game, but we worked carefully with Nintendo to ensure it’d work well and deliver the feeling you get from the series.
But, “as long as development of this title conforms with what Intelligent Systems originally would have wanted, and ATLUS develops it and triumphs through it, then ATLUS’ work is good.”It was following that that we were able to come to our conclusion and settle on the concept for this project. As a result of this, “Illusory Revelations ? Fire Emblem” follows the basic axis of what I would say are “Realistic characters who suffer from many conflicts and worries in modern-day Japan” in this RPG. It was capturing the feeling of “Fire Emblem” that was the real challenge during the development of this concept, as this is a collaboration.
