Nintendo just launched the first set of Animal Crossing amiibo cards in Japan. Primarily, these are intended for use in Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer, which also just released in the territory.

amiibo supply has been an issue since Nintendo began shipping figures last year. Unfortunately, these new cards appear to be running into the same type of problem. Nintendo took to its Japanese Twitter account today to apologize for the scarcity of the Animal Crossing amiibo cards in stores. More stock is expected next week.

Intropy Games is releasing Astral Breakers on the North American Wii U eShop next week, the studio confirmed today.

Astral Breakers is a cooperative/competitive action-puzzle game. The goal is to break colorful spheres, which in turn drops useless spheres into your opponent’s territory.

Astral Breakers allows for competitive play in Versus mode. In SuperNova survival mode, two players can team up against the CPU.

It’s possible to draw your own characters in the game. As it’s based on a Zodiac theme, you can use the GamePad to plot your own constellations. Constellations take on different properties when you bring them into battle. Their name, how they are drawn, their drop pattern and drop intensity (amount of garbage dropped on an opponent) will cause variations. Constellations are typically more lethal if they’re a complex drawing. Astral Breakers will also come with 12 existing Zodiac constellations.

Look for Astral Breakers on the Wii U eShop next Thursday.
