Mario Party 10 amiibo bundle up for pre-order on Walmart
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
The Mario Party 10 amiibo bundle may have sold out on Amazon, but you can get an order in over on Walmart. There’s sadly no way of telling how long pre-orders will be open for. For a limited time, this bundle will be the only way for consumers to obtain the new Mario amiibo.

New Mario amiibo initially exclusive to the Mario Party 10 bundle
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 7 Comments
There will be two versions of Mario Party 10 at launch – the standard game, and a bundle containing the new Mario amiibo. Strangely, we’re now hearing that the Mario figure will be exclusive to the bundle at launch.
A notice on Amazon’s
product page states, “For a limited time, the only way to play with the Mario Party Mario amiibo included!”
We’re not sure how long that “limited” window is. But at least to start out, you’ll need to pick up the bundle if you want to get your hands on the new Mario amiibo. Pre-orders are already sold out on Amazon, so that’s one retailer option already gone.

A bit more on the revival of Rodea: The Sky Soldier
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii, Wii U | 1 Comment
During a recent event for Rodea: The Sky Soldier in Japan, a bit more was shared on the revitalization of the title.
As many of you know, Rodea was first announced for Wii and 3DS back in January 2011. It disappeared after a few months and it wasn’t until November 2014 that it resurfaced again. People didn’t believe that Rodea would see a release before the game re-emerged at the time.

A look at ZombiU’s early mock-up boxart

What you see above could have been the boxart for ZombiU (disregarding the Wii label of course). It was an early mock-up design for the game’s production. Ultimately, Ubisoft toned the image down as to not intimidate consumers.

Amazon now listing Terraria for Wii U and 3DS as well
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii U | 10 Comments
GameFly listed Terraria for Wii U and 3DS earlier this week. At the time, we couldn’t be sure if those listings were legitimate or innocuous errors. But thanks to new findings at a different retailer, it seems quite possible that 505 Games is indeed bringing Terraria to both of Nintendo’s platforms.
Terraria popped up for both Wii U
and 3DS
on Amazon today. A $29.99 price point is listed, along with a tentative October 31 launch date.
There is one strange thing about this situation: GameFly has since pulled its Wii U and 3DS Terraria listings. GameFly tends to be reliable more often than not, so I’m wondering if that was done simply because 505 Games hasn’t made an announcement yet. Either way, we’ll try to get an official answer from the company.
