In a couple of weeks, you’ll have another opportunity to snag the Mega Yarn Yoshi amiibo at Toys “R” Us. The retailer has confirmed on Twitter that a restock is planned for March 20. Unfortunately, quantities will be very limited.
Toys “R” Us just posted the following on Twitter:

We have a couple more videos for Star Fox Zero. You can see more footage from the Fortuna level below as well as an intro comparison with Star Fox 64.
Nintendo Life has posted a second trailer for the indie game Star Ghost. You can watch it via the attached video below.
Capcom has brought out several new screenshots from Ace Attorney 6, including a few images of the anime opening. Check them out in the gallery below.
A new tweet from Level-5 CEO Akihiro Hino has fans speculating that a new Inazuma Eleven title is in the works. Hino mentioned on Twitter earlier today that work is being done on various new games and anime, and we’ll be hearing about quite a bit of these at Level-5 Vision 2016 – the company’s (mostly) annual event where new announcements are made. Hino said at the end of his tweet, “Of course there is also that certain new title. I… (it’s too soon to say it)”.
We know of one big Level-5 IP which starts with an “I”. Naturally, that would be Inazuma Eleven. Perhaps we’ll see a new Inazuma Eleven game at Level-5 Vision 2016?
Inazuma Eleven has seen large representation on Nintendo platforms. It doesn’t necessarily mean that a new game is confirmed for the Big N’s systems, but there would be a decent possibility of that happening.
Later this week, Nintendo will be releasing a new theme in Japan (should head west eventually) based on The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. It’ll come with the Hyrule Field theme.
Check out the video below for a look at the theme. In Japan, the download costs 200 yen.
Square Enix has revealed the file size for Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 3. The game takes up 6,858 blocks on an SD card, or 857MB. In Japan, Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 3 can now be pre-loaded from the 3DS eShop.
Nintendo UK is hosting a “Countdown Clash” for Pokken Tournament. Two of the game’s fighters will be pitted against each other, and fans will be asked which Pokemon they believe will win the battle. After votes are collected on both YouTube and Twitter, the winners of both bouts with then be announced.
You can see the second Countdown Clash video below. The two matches are Garchomp vs. Charizard Machamp vs. Blaziken.
Lost Reavers, which will soon launch in the West as confirmed in the latest Nintendo Direct, has been available in Japan for a while. The download-only title will soon receive another update in Japan, which will add, among other things, a new dungeon, new costumes and several new weapons.
