Adventures of Pip launches on the North American Wii U eShop next Thursday. Dennis currently has the game downloaded, and he’ll be hosting a stream on our Twitch channel tomorrow for about 30-60 minutes.

This is a bit different for us since we haven’t done much with streaming in the past. Still, we thought it’d be an interesting thing to try out! If you end up enjoying it, let us know and we’ll try to arrange similar streams in the future.

You can watch the stream at 1 PM ET / 10 AM PT. A new post will be added to the site once it goes live, and we’ll archive the recording on YouTube a bit later for those who miss it.

Bumping this to the top. Amazon will begin opening up orders in a half hour (5 PM ET / 2 PM PT). See the specific times in the message above (orders will open at any time during each half hour window), and check out links for each figure below.

Amazon didn’t end up taking reservations for the newest amiibo, but the retailer will be opening orders tomorrow. That includes the latest Smash Bros. figures, silver Mario, and Splatoon.

You’ll be able to order amiibo during different time slots throughout the day. Amazon has narrowed things down to half-hour slots, though items will be sold at any point during those time frames (not necessarily at the beginning of each window). Quantities are expected to be “very limited”.

Below are links to each amiibo. You should keep track of each as we approach the different hours.

Pac-Man amiibo
Charizard amiibo
Inkling Boy amiibo
Lucina Amiibo
Wario amiibo
Inkling Girl amiibo
Mario Silver Edition amiibo
Robin amiibo
Inkling Boy, Girl, and Squid 3-pack

Etrian Odyssey 2 Untold: The Fafnir Knight is launching in North America on August 4, Atlus has announced. Like all of the company’s games, this one will be sold both in stores and on the eShop.

For those who haven’t heard about Etrian Odyssey 2 Untold: The Fafnir Knight previously, here’s a handy overview:

The first-person dungeon crawler from the classic Etrian franchise is updated with an all-new standalone story, complete with voiced characters who must adventure through the mysterious forest labyrinth and the ruins of Ginnungagap, where they may uncover the secret origins of the Fafnir Knight and his power to transform and use demonic powers.

The story mode is only half of the game, as Classic mode will allow players to play in the traditional Etrian fashion – by putting a party together from 13 unique classes and then clawing through dungeons to prove your mettle. Introduced in the first Untold game, both Classic and Story modes allow players to choose their own difficulty, from Picnic to Expert.

The choice of whether to start with Story or Classic mode will be up to you, when Etrian Odyssey 2 Untold: The Fafnir Knight launches on August 4!

Along with today’s release date announcement, Atlus released a new cooking video for Etrian Odyssey 2 Untold: The Fafnir Knight. You can watch it below.
