Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 19 Comments
Last year, Nintendo teamed up with the folks behind Robot Chicken for its Digital Event. This year was different, as the company partnered with The Jim Henson Company for unique puppets based on Satoru Iwata, Reggie Fils-Aime, and Shigeru Miyamoto.
Apparently those puppets won’t be a one-time thing. We’re hearing that they’ll be used in future video projects beyond E3. When might they pop up next?!

Super Mario Maker may offer different colored amiibo costumes
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Rumors, Wii U | 10 Comments
Update (6/21): Bumped to the top. We now have a pretty good idea as to why there are two different colored Isabelle sprites. It seems like Isabelle’s amiibo card will unlock the one on the left, while the figure unlocks the one on the right.
Nintendo has shown Isabelle running in Super Mario Maker through an amiibo costume, which is pictured on the left. The image on the right, however, shows a different colored costume from the unlock screen. It’s possible – although certainly not confirmed – that we could be seeing costumes in more than one color.
