Rumor: Jigglypuff amiibo sets records on Target’s site, another exclusive figure planned for wave 5
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, Rumors | 9 Comments
The folks over on the amiibo subreddit have posted rumored information about the performance of the Jigglypuff figure – supposedly from a verified source – as well as a tease for the future.
Regarding Jigglypuff, the amiibo’s product page on Target.com apparently received a million views when pre-orders went live. The second-highest viewed item in the site’s history only has 20,000 views.
It’s also being said that Jigglypuff pre-orders sold at 500 per minute, which makes it the fastest-selling item in Target.com history.
Last but not least, the same source claims that Target will have yet another exclusive amiibo for wave 5. This has not been revealed to members of the Target team at present.

A few more details about amiibo usage in Yoshi’s Woolly World
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
Nintendo has shared additional details about how amiibo work in Yoshi’s Woolly World.
The company previously announced that you’ll be able to unlock Yoshi patterns based on characters like Mario and Donkey Kong. Although not every amiibo can unlock a pattern relating to the character, you’ll still be able to dress up Yoshi in new styles. That means Pikachu, Charizard, Greninja, Jigglypuff, and Lucario do work with the game after all. They just won’t unlock patterns based on the Pokemon.
All three Yarn Yoshi amiibo can be used to save your favorite pattern. The two Yoshi amiibo from the Smash Bros. and Super Mario series unlock Double Yoshi (just not one made of yarn).

Nintendo says NX won’t use Android
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 13 Comments
Yesterday, an article surfaced from Japanese newspaper Nikkei suggesting that Nintendo’s upcoming system, the NX, will use an Android operating system. The publication cited people with knowledge of what’s happening within the Big N in its report.
Nintendo has since responded to the speculation, and has confirmed that the rumors are inaccurate.
“There is no truth to the report saying that we are planning to adopt Android for NX,” a company spokesperson told the Wall Street Journal.
This seems to be keeping in line with Nikkei’s track record. While the newspaper has been spot on with a number of reports in the past, it’s also true that a number of claims have ended up being proven false.
