Aside from Lucario and King Dedede, the Marth amiibo should begin showing up again at Toys “R” Us starting on May 29. A separate Reddit user posted this photo earlier today:

Yesterday, we heard that the Meta Knight amiibo could be potentially returning to Best Buy. Now we’re hearing something similar with the Lucario and King Dedede figures at Toys “R” Us.
Reddit user “ziggary”, an employee at the retailer, was able to find out that over 1,800 Lucario amiibo are sitting at one distribution center. There are also over 200 King Dedede units in the same area. It’s unclear if a restock is actually happening, but this is a positive sign.

Posted on 9 years ago by Dennis Gagliardotto(@LyonHart_) in General Nintendo, News, Wii U | 7 Comments
The Splatoon hype continues as Inside-Games just announced via Twitter that plushies based off of the squids in Splatoon are heading to Japan in late July.
These awesome plushies will come in orange and green and will be both be priced at 2,800 yen.
As someone who’s excited for Splatoon beyond comprehension, and wants as much Splatoon merchandise as possible, this is really exciting to see. Let’s hope these make their way to the west and we see even more plushies later down the line! Maybe some Inklings and Octolings too? Let’s just hope these are ink-free.

Mega64 helped out with Nintendo’s E3 2015 video
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 6 Comments
Last year, Mega64 worked with Nintendo for the company’s E3 2014 video. It turns out that the same can be said of this year’s version as well.
Mega64 has now uploaded the official video to its YouTube channel, and the description states that they “helped behind the scenes in making Nintendo’s E3 2015 announcement video.”
Mega64 also wrote on its website:
You may have noticed that Nintendo released a brand new video today promoting their plans for E3 2015! And in case you’re wondering… yes, the Mega64 crew did help in creating the video (as if you couldn’t tell by the sound of my gnarled singing voice). While we weren’t really in spotlight of this piece, we still worked behind the scenes to bring Nintendo’s big announcements to life.
I’m a tiny bit surprised! Since the Mega64 logo didn’t pop up at the end of the video Nintendo uploaded yesterday, I assumed that they were’t involved. Guess I was wrong!
