It’s been a long wait for Rune Factory 4 in Europe, but the game appears to be arriving next week. The 3DS eShop currently lists a December 11 release date – that’d be next Thursday. It’s technically not confirmed, though I’d say that date is very likely at the moment.

With the recent dual-wielding Samus selling for a whopping $2500, it was only a matter of time before we would come across more  would surface.

A new challenger is approaching… Now we have seen a defective Peach amiibo join the ranks.

A seller on ebay has just posted what appears to be at this time a legitimate defective Peach who seems to have forgotten her legs.

Currently this listing is too new to see if it will rise to the heights of the recently sold Samus, with just a few bids currently listed I am sure we will see more and more people wanting to take advantage of this latest defect.

Today’s daily Twitter post on the upcoming Wii U title, Splatoon, covers the game’s single-player “Hero mode” and its octopus antagonists:

This is a report from the Squid Research Lab. We’ve confirmed that the octopi fighters are using several different kinds of equipment. Their shields defend them from attacks, and they can wait in the ink for an ambush. They’ll use all kinds of tricks to get in the hero’s way.

Shin’en Multimedia today announced on Twitter that their block-stacking physics puzzler will finally be heading down under on December 18th. Art of Balance was released for the US and European eShops around two months ago, with a Japanese version published by Arc System Works following shortly after. The Australian release of the game might be a bit overdue, but that’s classification systems for you! European owners of the 3DS version, Art of Balance Touch, received a 25% discount on the newer Wii U game, so presumably this will also apply to customers in Australia and New Zealand.

There’s been a lot of talk lately about Wii U error code “160-0103”. There’s also been a lot of discussion about how Super Smash Bros. is primarily causing the issue.

Blaming Smash Bros. for error code 160-0103 is actually the wrong thing to be doing. A post over on Reddit mentions that there have been plenty of other Wii U games that have caused the same problem, ranging from Super Mario 3D World to Batman: Arkham Origins.

The point is Smash Bros. is just one of many games associated with error code 160-0103. There isn’t an issue with the title itself. We can’t confirm this, but the trouble could be due to a faulty internal flash chip or worn flash chip.
