The Nintendo Sound Selection was among Club Nintendo Europe’s final rewards. You can now watch an unboxing video of the item below.

Nintendo will be releasing the first set of Animal Crossing amiibo cards in North America next week. If one GameStop store is anything to go by, they should be pretty well stocked.

The image above shows the unit amount for the cards at one GameStop location. This is a small store, so people are counting on the amiibo seeing similar numbers (if not higher) at other outlets.

Photos are now available showing the Japanese Club Nintendo 2016 Calendar. You’ll find the full set below.

A trio of amiibo are now available for pre-order on Amazon Italy. They are as follows:

Get yours Mega Yarn Yoshi
Standalone Chibi-Robo
Falco

Each one of these amiibo should ship to the U.S. Of course, when actual North American retailers begin taking pre-orders, we’ll let you know!

Image & Form tackles a few more topics regarding the SteamWorld franchise in its second episode of “The Engine Room”. In today’s video, the studio talks about why each SteamWorld game is in a different genre, shares thoughts on SteamWorld sequels, and discusses future SteamWorld genre wishes. Check out The Engine Room #2 below.

Walmart has two of the upcoming Yarn Yoshi amiibo up for pre-order. You can reserve the Blue Yoshi and Pink Yoshi. Both have price errors ($13 rather than $16), so you’ll be saving $3!

Over on GameStop’s website, a bunch of the latest amiibo are available. Ganondorf, Zero Suit Samus, Olimar, and 30th Anniversary Mario Classic can all be ordered.

You can order the different amiibo here. There’s also a bundle for all of the figures here.

Yet another Nintendo patent has been found. Back in March, the company filed for a device involving haptic feedback. This was only just published today.

The included image features a tablet-like device, though that may very well just be a placeholder. When touching the screen, users would feel haptic feedback from the game they’re playing. This is accomplished through dual vibration sections.

Here’s another interesting image included in the filing:

Just like the patent from earlier today, we don’t know if anything will actually come from this. It’s an interesting find in any case!
