Prima hopes to publish Xenoblade Chronicles X guide
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
A listing for an Xenoblade Chronicles X guide popped up on Amazon UK, with Prima listed as its publisher. It appears to have been somewhat of a mistake, but Prima does indeed “hope to publish” a guide for Nintendo’s Wii U RPG.
Prima told one fan on Twitter earlier this week:
@DRayX7 that's not our listing, but we hope to publish it

Xenoblade Chronicles X launched in Japan on April 29. It’s coming to North America and Europe later this year.

Marth amiibo restocks appear to be extremely limited
Posted on 9 years ago by Kirara Koneko(@KiraraKoneko) in New Nintendo 3DS, News, Wii U | 4 Comments
We have been seeing Marth amiibo restocks trickling in so far this May. Amazon has momentarily had some available, so quick in fact there wasn’t even time to get the news out. Now GameStop seems to be plagued with the same issue. Reports are currently indicating that although select GameStop’s are seeing Marth amiibo’s restocked, they are only receiving one or two per location. At this time the best course of action would probably be to call or stop in to your local shop and see if they have any available. Currently there is no confirmation of whether Marth will be made available on their website but stay tuned for more details.
