The Shovel Knight amiibo is being sold in almost every European territory, but it’s been facing delays in the UK. Most recently, we heard that the likes of Nintendo UK and GAME hoped to ship the figure this week. It now seems that Shovel Knight won’t be available until January.
GAME UK sent out the notice above today, claiming that the new release date is January 8. Amazon UK also has it pinned down for the same day. Hopefully this will be Shovel Knight’s final delay in the region!

Nintendo president says amiibo still has potential
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 12 Comments
Nintendo sees potential in amiibo. So says president Tatsumi Kimishima, who told Japanese outlet Sankei the following:
“There is still potential in amiibo. We want to make ‘the expansion of function to play with the game as a single entity’ one of the big pillars.”
Kimishima echoed something similar in an interview with TIME earlier this month. He said that Nintendo hasn’t yet established amiibo “as an enhancement for all of our software at this point.” Rather than using them in games, amiibo have instead been used “more as a collection item”.

Update: Service restored – Nintendo’s online services experiencing some issues at the moment

Update: It took a few hours, but everything is now back up and running!
It seems like some of Nintendo’s online services are experiencing difficulties right now. Specifically, logging into games with your Nintendo Network ID doesn’t seem to work at the moment. Unfortunately, this means that games that require you to do that, such as Nintendo Badge Arcade, can’t be played at all at the moment.
Nintendo has acknowledged the problem on both their European and Japanese Twitter accounts, so it seems to be a global problem. They are hoping to resolve the issues as soon as possible.
