Yacht Club says Shovel Knight pre-orders weren’t supposed to happen, stock not an issue
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 4 Comments
The Shovel Knight amiibo has been up for pre-order on both Best Buy and Amazon. However, the figure ended up “selling out” soon after reservations opened. There’s a simple reason for that: pre-orders weren’t supposed to happen, according to Yacht Club Games.
The studio mentioned on Reddit that stock for the Shovel Knight amiibo shouldn’t be an issue. It’s anticipated that there should be enough figures to go around at launch, not to mention that “refresh shipments will continue arriving frequently.”
“Hopefully I can clarify things a little! The Best Buy/Amazon preorders were not taken down due to stock issues, but because they should not have been listed for preorder in the first place! Stock should (hopefully!) be plentiful at release, and refresh shipments will continue arriving frequently.”

Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 8 Comments
Recently, Japanese website 4Gamer caught up with a few developers to reflect on the passing of Satoru Iwata. Producers from Capcom, Team Ninja, and even Sony Japan Studio talked about the late Nintendo president, and in some cases, shared some of their memories with him.
Here’s an overview of what the different developers spoke about:
Capcom producer Yoshinori Ono (Street Fighter)
– Remembered several anecdotes, happened after the two had several chances to meet after the launch of the 3DS
– Iwata told stories about old gadgets, or about the era of old PC programmed in assembly
– Iwata responded courteously when Ono asked him to sign a cartridge of Balloon Fight he had brought from home
– Another memory: on a return flight from San Francisco, they sat side by side on the plane, talking about games, movies and the entertainment system
– He won’t forget the memory of sharing Iwata’s ideas and thoughtfulness
– Ono was shocked when he heard the news of Iwata-san’s passing,
– Will keep their conversations and the moments in which they dined together and had a chat engraved in his memory, holding them in mind for his life and work in the future
