Just a few days ago we reported that a retailer in South Africa had a few listings up for amiibo for the upcoming Splatoon. The amiibo listed had both “Boy” and “Girl” versions, plus a “Squid” edition that would be bundled with the game. Though nothing has been made official from Nintendo, it seems Splatoon’s eShop page makes mention of the usage of amiibo, further giving this evidence merit. Now though the amiibo compatible could very well be those previously released, it certainly makes you think if Splatoon-based amiibo really may be on the way. I, for one, certainly welcome the notion of having a Splatoon amiibo line.

Third generation legendary Kyogre is now available for capture in Pokémon Shuffle when you check in. This special event to catch Kyogre will last until March 23rd, so get it while there’s still time!

Another thing to note, since the launch of Pokémon Shuffle, we’ve had a previous event in which you could catch Mew for the first three weeks following Pokémon Shuffle’s release, but it seems as though the chance to catch Mew has now been prolonged by two weeks. If you haven’t been able to catch Mew yet, now you have another shot!

Upcoming Strategy RPG Code Name: S.T.E.A.M. is on the horizon, coming out March 13th, and with that comes a slew of character profiles to get you familiar with those you’ll be playing as and battling alongside:

 

Tom Sawyer

Where he is from: The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, by Mark Twain. Tom is very charismatic and convincing, considering one of the most famous tales in the novel is of him conning others into having the privilege of painting a fence he’s supposed to paint and reaping therewards. He, along with his friend Huckleberry Finn, get into a lot of trouble (and some adventure of course) as they live along the Mississippi River.

In the game: Tom Sawyer is the scout who can deploy mines, tricking enemies into traps that will lay waste to them. His special weapon is the punch gun, which in fact stuns enemies by punching them, becoming stunned in the process.

 

Henry Fleming

Where he is from: The Red Badge of Courage, written by Stephen Crane. Taking place during the Civil War, Fleming is a young private in the Union army who flees the battlefield when faced with danger. He eventually comes to terms with his own cowardice, however, and returns to his comrades in order to take on the Confederate army, finding newfound courage.

In the game: Of course, he is depicted as the All-American hero. He’s the guy you’ll be controlling throughout the game, using the Eagle Rifle to deal damage. His big attack, the Eagle Strike, has him turning into an eagle to attack enemies, causing major damage.

 

Tiger Lily

Where she is from: Peter Pan by J.M. Barrie. In the novel, she is a Native American princess of the Piccaninny tribe living on the island of Neverland. She attempts to sneak aboard Captain Hook’s ship armed with a knife but is captured and left at Marooner’s Rock to drown. She is saved by Peter Pan when he imitates Captain Hook’s voice and orders the pirates to set her free.

In the game: She is a healer who, as the name would suggest, heals enemies. The technique Healing Wind will help surrounding party members recover HP, including herself.
