Update: Daily Nintendo reports that a Dutch restock is happening this summer as a selection of the first four waves. This will apparently include Villager, Little Mac, Captain Falcon, and Marth.

We’ve heard from Nintendo before about how some amiibo will be restocked. Marth, for instance, is finally returning to U.S. store shelves later next month. Other figures will be reproduced depending on demand and available shelf space in stores.

This is something that a Nintendo of Germany customer service representative essentially reaffirmed to one fan. After sending in an email because pre-orders for the new Smash Bros. amiibo wave sold out so quickly, he received the following response:

We will reproduce several amiibo, which have been sold out after only a few hours. This will take some time. We sold our 5.7 million amiibo worldwide, which exceeded our expectations. This is also a reason that our production is delayed.

Update: Non-Nintendo game – Game Freak and SEGA collaboration in the works?

Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, Rumors | 11 Comments

Update: (3/11/15) It’s not a mobile game as many had expected, but it isn’t for a Nintendo platform. The game is “Tembo The Badass Elephant” – read about it here.

The postcard above, coming from Game Freak and SEGA, was sent out to certain folks today. It seems to be teasing a potential collaboration between the two companies. I have no idea what this is about – and there’s a possibility that this has nothing to do with Nintendo – but I figured this was worth sharing!

Jonathan Biddle leaves Curve and forms new studio, will continue working with the company

Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments

Jonathan Biddle has moved on from Curve Studios. However, that doesn’t mean he’s cutting ties with the company.

Biddle, formerly the design director for Curve Studios, has created new studio “onebitbeyond”. He will now continue work on his new project “White Space” (unclear if the game is coming to Wii U). Curve is publishing White Space, so Biddle’s relationship with the company remains unaffected.

While at Curve, Biddle led the way on the Fluidity games for Wii and 3DS. He also worked on Stealth Inc and Explodemon.

This is about as random as it gets! Still, this is rather neat.
