Towards the end of last week, Nintendo put up new CPSIA certificates for most of the Zelda: Breath of the Wild amiibo. Archer Link, Rider Link, and the Guardian now have an extra month of production.

The Breath of the Wild figures have been pretty tough to find, so a new run would make sense. We’ll keep you updated on any major restocks in the future assuming there are any.

Rare split from Nintendo many years ago, but the company is nonetheless an integral part of the big N’s history. Some of the most memorable titles came from the studio. Without Rare, we wouldn’t have Donkey Kong Country, GoldenEye 007, Banjo-Kazooie, and many other classics.

A new book from Dark Horse will let you take a trip down memory lane. Rare Treasures, tentatively slated for the end of August, will contain “the history and highlights of the iconic studio Rare, from birth to present day”. It’ll come with art, commentary, and new insights from the team, and more.

Nintendo’s presentation will no doubt be the highlight of E3. You may want to turn in to the Treehouse stream though, as it sounds like a few surprises could be in store.

The latest live stream for the Fire Emblem 0 (Cipher) trading card game was held today. Arguably the biggest piece of news was the announcement of series 11. The Sacred Stones will finally be featured in addition to Fire Emblem Warriors. More cards from Shadows of Valentia will be included, too.

Also during the live stream, fans were treated to a sneak peek of sorts for the Fire Emblem 0 collaboration DLC in Shadows of Valentia. In-game models for Shade, Emma, Yuzu, and Yuzu were shown.

Kirie from Serenes Forest captured a ton of different images from the live stream, posted below. Along with what we already mentioned, there was talk and cards shown for series 10 and more.

This month’s CoroCoro has started to leak. There’s nothing in the way of a game reveal, but the magazine does tease some interesting news. For the following magazine slated for June 15, some shocking information will be revealed regarding Marshadow. One theory is that news will be shared about Marshadow’s signature Z-Move.

Marshadow was officially unveiled for Pokemon Sun / Moon last month. The creature can’t be obtained through normal means as of now, though more information will be shared in the future.
