First 4 Figures’ new Link figure coming on March 3
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 28 Comments
Update: Despite Best Buy’s original listing, the figure is actually created by First 4 Figures. The listing (as well as our post) has now been updated to reflect this. Best Buy’s page also now shows a release date of early March rather than March 20.
Original: Dark Horse will soon be coming out with a special Link figurine that was created based on his appearance in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. It’s 11 inches high, and features a sculpted base.
The figurine won’t be ready for Breath of the Wild’s launch, though it won’t be too long before it’s out. Best Buy, which is taking pre-orders, has it down for March 20.
We’ve included a few photos of the figure below.

In November, the NES Classic Edition sold 196,000 units in the United States. The hardware had another strong month in December. According to the NPD, NES Classic Edition sales rose by 14 percent. That puts it at just over 223,000 units sold.
Sales should tail off this month if only due to a lack of availability. Hopefully Nintendo manages to get more stock out in the near future.

Another mystery amiibo CPSIA certificate spotted
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 2 Comments
Update: As HeroOfTime125 points out to us, the filing starts with AACK. AA is used for Smash Bros., so it could be a further hint at a Corrin amiibo.
Original: Last week, three unknown CPSIA certificates popped up in Nintendo’s database. Those may have had something to do with the new Zelda: Breath of the Wild amiibo announced shortly thereafter (Zelda, Bokoblin).
Now another mystery certificate appeared on Nintendo’s website today. With the Fire Emblem Direct happening in a few hours, could this be related to a Fire Emblem amiibo?
