Rumor: New amiibo references spotted within Splatoon’s files, possibly Squid Sisters
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Rumors, Wii U | 20 Comments
Last year, Nintendo released three amiibo for Splatoon. We currently have the Inkling Boy, Inkling Girl, and, Inkling Squid figures. Could more be on the way?
NWPlayer123 has built a reputation for leaking new content for Splatoon ahead of official reveals. In the past, we’ve found out about levels and weapons among other elements before they were announced. NWPlayer123 now seems to have unearthed evidence of new amiibo figures.
Eh, screw it. Squid Sisters amiibo, coming soon to a retailer near you pic.twitter.com/yzE8dsKSLB

“AmiiboIdolA” and “AmiiboIdolB” have both been found within Splatoon’s files. These two were likely included in the game’s most recent update. Given the names, would one think that they’re referencing the Squid Sisters.
We’ll let you know if we hear anything else about this rumor.
Thanks to Mattrio for the tip.
Juicy Beast shares more on Toto Temple Deluxe’s sales
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 1 Comment
Juicy Beast said earlier this month that the studio was disappointed by the sales of Toto Temple Deluxe. A few days ago, the company shared some concrete data.
Toto Temple Deluxe has sold roughly 6,000 copies across all platforms. You can see a breakdown of sales by platform above, which seems to show that the Wii U version outperformed the likes of Steam and Xbox One. It’s also fairly close to the PlayStation 4 edition.
Juicy Beast hopes that Toto Temple Deluxe will “benefit from the long tail eventually”.

Final Fantasy Tactics Advance on the Wii U VC doesn’t let you share screenshots on Miiverse
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 3 Comments
When a new game comes out – be it a completely new title or something like a Virtual Console release – its related community opens on Miiverse. It’s here where users are usually able to share screenshots of games. With one classic game that just hit Wii U though, this isn’t possible.
Final Fantasy Tactics Advance made its way to the Wii U Virtual Console this week. Users, however, have been mentioning in the community that posting screenshots isn’t possible. We don’t know why this is, but I imagine Square Enix must have some reason!
