Super Smash Bros. for 3DS 1.0.4 patch coming later this month
Posted on 10 years ago by Jarop(@gamrah) in 3DS, News | 7 Comments
Super Smash Bros. for 3DS will be receiving yet another update, though it appears this one will be a bit more significant than what we’ve previously seen. Nintendo will be including some ‘balance fixes’ and while they haven’t detailed specifically what that means, those that have version 1.0.3 or earlier will not be able to challenge those on 1.0.4 once they’ve updated.

Next couple of amiibo rounds confirmed for Japan – Shulk, Rosalina, Sonic, Mega Man, and more
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, General Nintendo, News, Wii U | 31 Comments
Nintendo is releasing amiibo figures in waves. In Japan, there will be eight figures in round two and another three in the third set.
Fan favorites like Shulk and Rosalina will be available in the second set. And perhaps most importantly, the first third-party figures are releasing in the third – Sonic and Mega Man.
Most of the figures pictured above are due out in Japan on January 22. Shulk, Sonic, and Mega Man are the three expected in February. Pricing is set at 1,200 yen each.
To summarize:
January 22
Lucario
Rosalina
Bowser
Toon Link
Sheik
Ike
Meta Knight
King Dedede
February
Shulk
Sonic
Mega Man
Just as a reminder, this is for Japan only. It’s slightly confusing because the amiibo rounds are different between the west and Japan. We’re getting Zelda, Luigi, and a few others in December, which is round two for us. But Japan is getting all of these figures in their first round at launch.
