Update: Just wanted to casually mention that the same retailer also has Greninja and Jigglypuff. I’m not making a big deal out of it since we know that every Smash Bros. character is getting an amiibo. There’s also a May 29 release date listed, but I’m not confident that it’s accurate.

Raru, a retailer in South Africa, has a few listings up for Splatoon amiibo. Pre-orders are live for “Boy” and “Girl” versions, plus a “Squid” amiibo bundle with the actual game.

There’s definitely a chance that these listings are nothing more than mistakes on Raru’s part, though they haven’t been entirely debunked… yet. We’ll leave you guys to speculate! Either way, would you purchase a Splatoon-based amiibo?

Has Meme Run been removed from the North American Wii U eShop? At the moment, that appears to be the case.

There’s no sign of the game on the eShop. Its Miiverse community is gone as well. However, Meme Run is still listed on Nintendo’s website.

We’ll keep track of the situation, and will update this post if any additional information comes in.

The original Wii game allowed players to switch between the Japanese and English voices. Just to be safe, we’ll try following up with Nintendo of America to confirm that the situation.
