Update: Some translations of what was shared on Twitter:

We got a picture of the Splatoon Amiibos!

First, we’d like to introduce the Girl.

Those characteristic eye markings, her clear hair(?), all of these things and more have been reproduced. She’s cute from every angle… uh, um, as an example, it’s been a great success!


And so this is the Squid amiibo.

The model kinda looks like it could appear out of ink and capture territory in a second, huh?

The squid’s model is great, but the brace (the ink below) is beautiful.

At any rate, I haven’t heard of a lot of squid figurines before…


Nintendo’s ink-filled third-person shooter, Splatoon, launches on May 29th and brings along three amiibo with it on launch day. Announced during the Nintendo Direct on Thursday, Splatoon would be getting its own line of amiibo featuring three figures of the likes of Inkling Girl, Inkling Boy, and a Squid. You can purchase them individually or as a bundle, but the Squid is currently only available in the bundled package.

Splatoon’s official Twitter just posted a detailed look at the three figures, giving you a 360 degree impression of what the three figures look like from front to back. You can also view individual shots of the amiibo here. Check it out!

UPDATE 3: Greninja is no more. All amiibo officially gone.

UPDATE 2: Greninja is barely holding on. Issues with adding to cart or checking out.

UPDATE: Literally moments after the amiibo went live and this was posted, they’ve all sold out… you monsters.


Those two Fire Emblem characters that were predictably hard to come by today for preorders (imagine when they “release”) are now available at Toys R Us! Hurry over and get your chance to pick up Lucina, Robin, and the Toys R Us exclusive Greninja!

Wave 4 of the Super Smash Bros. line is set to release on May 29th, alongside the brand new Splatoon amiibo and Splatoon.

One of the bigger mysteries surrounding Mario Maker has been whether the game will support the ability to create a sequence of levels. In other words, fans want to have the opportunity to make levels that aren’t just separate, single entities.

While we don’t have official confirmation on this just yet, it does in fact look like you’ll be able to create a sequence of levels in Mario Maker – at least judging by the screenshot above. It seems that you’ll have three “standard” levels, which are then finished off with a castle level.
