Nintendo will hold a Splatoon event during the Game Party Japan 2015 on December 31 and January 1 in Tokyo, the company has announced. The Wii U game will be playable as well. I imagine the demo will be the same as the one shown at E3 in June, but maybe Nintendo will surprise us!

Four retailer-exclusive amiibo have already been confirmed for North America. Shulk will only be available at GameStop, Best Buy is the exclusive store for Meta Knight, Lucario is at Toys “R” Us, and Target has Rosalina and Luma.

This might not be the end of retailer-exclusive amiibo, sadly. Check out this message from one Best Buy Canada representative:

Having anything be retailer-exclusive isn’t what anyone wants to see. I guess we’ll see how this plays out!
