Starting on March 14, Nintendo will be hosting a series of Super Smash Bros. for Wii U tournaments at a number of gaming and toy store locations across Japan. Stores in Ichikawa (Chiba prefecture), Umeda (Osaka) and Moriya (Ibaraki) will be seeing the first round of tournaments.

It’s important to mention that these tournaments aren’t player-based. Instead, amiibo figures will be battling it out.

The prize for winning the tournament is none other than… a free amiibo. Nintendo is also providing a Super Smash Bros. A4-sized clear file for all participants.

Final Fantasy creator Hironobu Sakaguchi worked on a bunch of Final Fantasy games throughout his career. But which one is he the most proud of? That honor goes to the original Final Fantasy.

In an interview with IGN, Sakaguchi explained why this is his choice:

“There was no guarantee that this game would make it. There were a lot of worries, a lot of unstable factors going into this project. The original team only consisted of four people. Even in the end when we wrapped up the project, there was probably about ten of us.”

Sakaguchi added: “The culmination of [all] the feelings and memories I have towards the first Final Fantasy is probably the largest.”

Update: Just wanted to casually mention that the same retailer also has Greninja and Jigglypuff. I’m not making a big deal out of it since we know that every Smash Bros. character is getting an amiibo. There’s also a May 29 release date listed, but I’m not confident that it’s accurate.

Raru, a retailer in South Africa, has a few listings up for Splatoon amiibo. Pre-orders are live for “Boy” and “Girl” versions, plus a “Squid” amiibo bundle with the actual game.

There’s definitely a chance that these listings are nothing more than mistakes on Raru’s part, though they haven’t been entirely debunked… yet. We’ll leave you guys to speculate! Either way, would you purchase a Splatoon-based amiibo?
