Update: (5/22/15) Bumped to the top. Here’s a look at the packaging:

HORI’s Splatoon GamePad protector was revealed a few weeks back. We had only heard about it as a European product at the time, but we can now safely say that the accessory will be sold in North America as well.

Amazon is now taking pre-orders for the Nintendo-licensed Splatoon GamePad protector. Based on the listing, it will be sold starting on July 13. You can reserve it here.

Reddit user “mast3r_sword” has come up with an incredibly impressive custom amiibo. The Ice Climbers have been created from scratch – box and all.

mast3r_sword obtained a base model in 3D, did some retopology, and modeled/sculpted it until he managed to get the Ice Climbers in a pose inspired from Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Naturally, this original amiibo won’t work in any game, though the base can be opened and a chip from another figure can be installed.

I continue to be amazed by the original amiibo creations people are coming up with. I know I could never make something like this!
