Play-Asia is now taking pre-orders for a pair of amiibo. You can reserve the Famicom version of R.O.B here and Mewtwo here. I’m guessing these won’t last too long!

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.

As of today, Club Nintendo is closed in all regions – except Australia and New Zealand. Due to performance issues on the website, Club Nintendo Australia will continue to operate until October 8th. You have until that date to spend your stars and claim your rewards in the Club Nintendo catalogue.

Four new Animal Crossing amiibo figures have been revealed through Nintendo’s website.

In Japan, Resetti, Blathers, Kicks, and Celeste are due out on December 17. They’ll be preceded by the initial figures that we saw awhile back, including K.K. Slider and Tom Nook on November 21. That means there will be two waves of Animal Crossing figures.

Take a look at some photos of today’s new amiibo below.

Update (9/30): Bumped to the top again. Lucario, Shulk, and Greninja are now in Best Buy’s DC warehouse. It shouldn’t be much longer before you can purchase these figures at the retailer. Additionally, Marth, Little Mac, Captain Falcon, and Fox have been spotted, which makes sense given Nintendo’s announcement earlier today about the amiibo restock.

Update (9/28): Bumped to the top. The tag below was spotted at Toys “R” Us, giving more credibility to the talk of these three amiibo no longer being exclusive.

Original (9/26): Retailer exclusives for amiibo have been going on for awhile now. Shulk, for instance, has long been a GameStop exclusive. The same goes for both Greninja and Lucario at Toys “R” Us.

At least for these three amiibo, they may soon become more widely available at stores. Shulk, Greninja, and Lucario have all been spotted in Best Buy’s system. Could that mean their exclusivity period will soon be ending?

Although a little bit of doubt has been cast on the future of the Chibi-Robo series, there is at least one developer out there who wants to see the series continue, and in its traditional form. Chibi-Robo!: Zip Lash assistant producer Risa Tabata told USgamer in an interview that she’d like to see another adventure-style entry.

Tabata’s words in full:

“I actually wouldn’t call this ‘smaller’ at all, especially in terms of the game’s scope. I think a lot of people will be more than satisfied with it. Personally, however, I think it’d be great if we could release another adventure-style Chibi-Robo.”
