Yoshifumi Hashimoto, the producer of Bokujo Monogatari, is celebrating this week’s launch of Story of Seasons with a special message. Hashimoto wanted to share the following as he reflected on the accomplishments of the series’ past and his feelings of gratitude toward fans:

Over eighteen years ago, we were inspired to create a game that was not about battling fantastic monsters but about the cycle of life. At the time, there was little corporate interest in a farming simulation about the natural cycle of life and death. But over the course of the many games in the Bokujo Monogatari series, millions of players grew crops, raised animals, and perhaps even learned about the life of a farmer, who takes care of a farm top to bottom with his own two hands.

GameStop opened pre-orders for the wave 4 Smash Bros. amiibo earlier today. All reservations were handled in-store (web-in-store, to be specific), and they were never available online.

A notice posted on GameStop’s Facebook account now states that all wave 4 amiibo have sold out. It’s unclear if this is only for web-in-store pre-orders, or all orders in general. If it’s the latter, I’m sure many consumers will be unhappy!

Update (4/2): It appears that online pre-orders won’t be opening today after all. Instead, you’ll need to head to your local GameStop and place a web-in-store order.

Following today’s Nintendo Direct announcements, GameStop will soon be opening pre-orders for the new amiibo. As of tomorrow, consumers will be able to reserve Ness (again, GameStop exclusive), Robin, Charizard, Pac-Man, Lucina, and Wario. That’s in addition to the new Splatoon amiibo as well.

GameStop’s pre-orders will go live at 3 PM ET / 12 PM PT. We’ll update the site as soon as they’re available.
