It was recently revealed that the Shulk amiibo figure will only be available at GameStop. As expected, that’s not the only retailer-exclusive figure. Best Buy confirms in a new PR announcement that the amiibo for Meta Knight will only be sold through its store.

We know that the latest Smash Bros. 3DS update makes some balance changes to certain characters. Nintendo, however, didn’t provide a specific breakdown of what specific changes were made.

That’s where the SmashBoards come in. Users on the forum have created a massive lineup of patch notes for the new Smash Bros. update. If you’re interested in checking out the individual character changes, be sure to check out this link.

Thanks to RetroReid for the tip.

DK: King of Swing has received a Wii U rating over on the ESRB. You know what that means: it’s probably coming soon to the Virtual Console. This week, perhaps?

A rating for Mario Kart: Super Circuit was discovered on the ESRB last week, and it ended up launching on the North American Wii U Virtual Console a day later. It’d hardly be shocking if something similar happened with DK: King of Swing.

Most Wii U games allow players to take screenshots and share them on Miiverse. For whatever reason, this isn’t the case of Watch Dogs.

Multiple users on Miiverse have noted that there isn’t a way to post screenshots to the new Watch Dogs community. Additionally, it seems that photos can’t be shared on Twitter, Facebook, and Tumblr through Nintendo’s image sharing website.

I can’t really see why Ubisoft wouldn’t want people to put up photos from the Wii U version of Watch Dogs online. It looks to be a fairly competent port!
