eShop page for Splatoon shows tag for amiibo support
Posted on 9 years ago by Dennis Gagliardotto(@LyonHart_) in News, Rumors, Wii U | 25 Comments
Just a few days ago we reported that a retailer in South Africa had a few listings up for amiibo for the upcoming Splatoon. The amiibo listed had both “Boy” and “Girl” versions, plus a “Squid” edition that would be bundled with the game. Though nothing has been made official from Nintendo, it seems Splatoon’s eShop page makes mention of the usage of amiibo, further giving this evidence merit. Now though the amiibo compatible could very well be those previously released, it certainly makes you think if Splatoon-based amiibo really may be on the way. I, for one, certainly welcome the notion of having a Splatoon amiibo line.

Destructoid has shared a menu image from Mario Party 10, which provides a look at the amiibo supported in-game. Mario, Luigi, Peach, Toad, Yoshi, Wario, Rosalina, Donkey Kong, and Bowser all work. Smash Bros. amiibo are also supported, though you’ll need to delete any old data on the figures.
Below are a few more Mario Party 10 amiibo menu shots:

Koei Tecmo: Dynasty Warriors sales have been declining, but Hyrule Warriors “gave the series some freshness”
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Wii U | 34 Comments
Sales of the Dynasty Warriors games have been in a bit of a decline. The series isn’t performing quite as well as it used to.
However, according to Koei Tecmo producer Akihiro Suzuki, spin-offs like Hyrule Warriors renewed interest in the franchise. Koei Tecmo must now satisfy players while keeping the series fresh, he said.
Suzuki told MCV:
Over the years we’ve seen a sales decline. The Dynasty Warriors series is targeted towards the core fans. But we’ve had a few collaborations recently that have given the franchise a second wind because they’ve brought in new fans that hadn’t given Dynasty Warriors a chance. So Hyrule Warriors gave the series some freshness. Now our task is to keep the new players happy now that they’ve had a chance to play. But overall with the franchise, we need to keep it fresh, both the Dynasty Warriors and the Samurai Warriors brands.
