Nintendo Inquirer managed to get its hands on stock numbers for upcoming amiibo. Given data obtained from New York, Los Angeles, Minneapolis and Milwaukee, it appears that Lottie will be receiving more than double the stock compared to the other Animal Crossing characters. This suggests that Lottie will be a Target exclusive in the United States.

Stock numbers are also in for Mewtwo. It’s expected that there will be around 12 units for smaller stores whereas larger ones will be loaded with 24-48 amiibo.

The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes has a different localization in North America and Europe. For the game we’ve received in the states, there’s one portion of dialogue inspired by the doge meme.

The image above has sparked some discussion, as some feel that the Treehouse has been going a bit overboard with meme references as of late. How do you guys feel about these types of references?

Nintendo announced a substantial update for Super Mario Maker earlier today. Without question, one of the highlights is that mid-level checkpoints will be incorporated.

Nintendo of Europe actually shared another tidbit about checkpoints that was not in the North American announcement. In total, users will be able to place two flags per level. Players will restart from checkpoints instead of the beginning if they lose a life.

The new Super Mario Maker update will be available on November 4.
