amiibo for Mii Fighters are Toys “R” Us exclusive in North America
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 8 Comments
Although some amiibo are losing their retailer exclusivity in North America, a new set of upcoming figures will be sold at just one store. It turns out that the amiibo for the Mii Fighters will be distributed at only Toys “R” Us. That information is based on the image above, which is a photo snapped from a display.
All of the Mii Fighters are scheduled for November 1. You’d have to think that after a few months have passed, the amiibo will be available at other retailers as well.

Before Conker’s Bad Fur Day became the game we know of today, it was a radically different project. The team originally set out on creating something like an interactive cartoon with characters that would have very expressive faces.
Rare showed more of Twelve Tales: Conker 64 in a new video today, including previously-unseen footage. Check it out below.

Rewards can still be downloaded from Club Nintendo Europe
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 3 Comments
Club Nintendo was supposed to end in PAL regions yesterday. Yet strangely, members can still access the Stars Catalogue in Europe.
Attempting to order physical rewards at this point probably won’t get you anywhere. However, digital rewards should definitely be on the table. You can give it a shot here.
What’s particularly strange about the situation is that, when visiting Club Nintendo on the official website, you’ll see a message regarding its closure and the option to sign up for future updates. However, using the link above allows you to go straight to the rewards selection.
