Four new Animal Crossing amiibo figures have been revealed through Nintendo’s website.
In Japan, Resetti, Blathers, Kicks, and Celeste are due out on December 17. They’ll be preceded by the initial figures that we saw awhile back, including K.K. Slider and Tom Nook on November 21. That means there will be two waves of Animal Crossing figures.

Genei Ibun Roku #FE is coming to Japan in late December. As the game is just a few months away, we’ll now be seeing more regular coverage of the title. Famitsu does have another update on Genei Ibun Roku #FE this week.
There are a few keywords for Genei Ibun Roku #FE like “Idolsphere”, “Mirage”, and “Mirage Master”. The Idolsphere is an alternate version of cities such as Shibuya and Harajuku where the Mirages come from. As for the plot, it’s about an average protagonist who stumbles into such a world. Mirages are mysterious beings from the Idolsphere dimension that lend their power to humans. Of course, they look like Fire Emblem series’ heroes and villains. Mirage Masters, who receive aid in battle from heroes such as Chrom and Sheeda, are those who hold a mysterious power that allows them to utilize Mirages by summoning them.

BadLand Indie is publishing Ginger: Beyond the Crystal on Wii U and other platforms in 2016, the company announced today. The 3D platform adventure is developed by Drakhar Studio.
Here’s an overview of the game:
“(Ginger: Beyond the Crystal) follows a heroic young boy named Ginger whose entire life crumbled around him when an ancient crystal exploded.

Along the way Ginger must reconstruct the world as he knew it by building homes for the people he manages to save. Full of mini-games, puzzles, skins to earn, and, of course, platforms you’ll spend hours aiding Ginger on his quest Beyond The Crystal.”

Update (9/30): Bumped to the top again. Lucario, Shulk, and Greninja are now in Best Buy’s DC warehouse. It shouldn’t be much longer before you can purchase these figures at the retailer. Additionally, Marth, Little Mac, Captain Falcon, and Fox have been spotted, which makes sense given Nintendo’s announcement earlier today about the amiibo restock.
Update (9/28): Bumped to the top. The tag below was spotted at Toys “R” Us, giving more credibility to the talk of these three amiibo no longer being exclusive.
Original (9/26): Retailer exclusives for amiibo have been going on for awhile now. Shulk, for instance, has long been a GameStop exclusive. The same goes for both Greninja and Lucario at Toys “R” Us.
At least for these three amiibo, they may soon become more widely available at stores. Shulk, Greninja, and Lucario have all been spotted in Best Buy’s system. Could that mean their exclusivity period will soon be ending?
