Update: Not true after all – Target only letting customers purchase a total of 2 amiibo on Friday
Posted 8 years ago by Brian in General Nintendo, News | 7 Comments
Update: Target is now saying the opposite on the same Twitter account. I’m not sure where the confusion originated from, but at least the situation wasn’t as poor as we thought!
@VerxlTMathman Limit 2 Amiibo per character, not total basket, You can buy multiple characters just not more than 2 of each. Thanks!

Target will be handling the launch of Friday’s new amiibo in a peculiar way. We’re not sure why this is, but customers will only be allowed to purchase two figures in total. That means you could go with a combination like Charizard and Wario, but that’s it. Just two.
The official “AskTarget” Twitter account posted the following earlier today, which has since been backed up by other employees:
@RVAgeek Good question! You'll be able to purchase two Amiibo in total on your visit. Thanks and have a great weekend!

I can absolutely understand limiting things to one of each character. Only allowing customers to purchase a total of two figures, though? That seems a tad crazy. If Target wasn’t offering the exclusive Jigglypuff amiibo, I doubt many people would be trying their luck there!
Wii U now starting to receive Unity 5 support
Posted 8 years ago by Brian in News, Wii U | 5 Comments
Unity 5 was revealed back in March. When the announcement was made, we learned that it would run on a number of platforms, including Wii U. However, Unity followed up at the time by noting that it was unsure when Wii U would actually be receiving support for the new engine.
A development source speaking with Nintendo Everything has now confirmed that Unity 5 is starting to make its way to Wii U. A beta build based off of Unity 5.0.1 was just recently distributed, so teams can begin working with the upgraded technology.
Unfortunately, it’s sounding like it will be awhile before we actually begin seeing the first Unity 5 games released on the eShop. The information we received indicates that developers who intend on submitting titles before fall are being told to stick with Unity 4.3, as 5.0 is not currently master submittable.

MouseCraft heading to Wii U in Q3 2015
Posted 9 years ago by Brian in News, Wii U eShop | 1 Comment
MouseCraft is coming to Wii U, developer Crunching Koalas has announced. The studio confirmed the news on Twitter a few days ago with the following message:
And it's official! We're bringing MouseCraft to Xbox One and Wii U in the 3rd quarter of 2015! pic.twitter.com/DoLR0Fbll4
— Crunching Koalas (@CrunchingKoalas) May 21, 2015
MouseCraft originally launched on PC and PlayStation platforms last year. It’s described as “an A to B puzzle game” in which players stack Tetrominos blocks to help mice get to the cheese. Obstacles, collectibles, and the ability to create/share your own maps will surely keep things fresh.
MouseCraft should be landing on Wii U sometime during Q3 2015.

Rumor: Low wave 4 amiibo shipments at GameStop, no more holds, Shulk restock in June
Posted 9 years ago by Brian in General Nintendo, Rumors | 7 Comments
A rumored internal memo from GameStop provides an update on the situation surrounding amiibo.
Like every major retailer, GameStop will begin selling wave 4 Smash Bros. amiibo on Friday. But sadly, the stock situation here doesn’t sound too encouraging… aside from silver Mario.
Here’s what was shared by Reddit user “gamestopinfo5678”:
Our shipments of wave 4 SUCK. plain and simple. from 0 robins/lucina to just one of each. 1,2, or no nesses. Surprisingly we’ll have plenty of silver mario’s for whatever that’s worth. Memo stated that we will not be re-supplying wave 4. Once we run out, we are out. you can camp gamestop if you want, but as a collector myself…I’m not. I can spend my time better at another store with much better stock. (this doesn’t mean there won’t be the abnormal store here and there that might have decent stock)
The one bright spot? We’re hearing that GameStop will post in hand stock on the morning of May 29 on the door. That means you’ll be able to see stock totals while waiting in line.

The Great Ace Attorney eShop demo coming soon to Japan
Posted 9 years ago by Brian in 3DS, News | 0 comments
During a mall event tour in Japan, The Great Ace Attorney producer announced that Capcom is planning on releasing a demo on the Japanese 3DS eShop. It will basically be the same one as the one shared at Monster Hunter Festa, but it will allow those who couldn’t attend to give The Great Ace Attorney a try.
The Great Ace Attorney’s demo weighs in at 48.9 MB and offers 30 uses. Unfortunately, there’s no word yet on when it will be hitting the eShop. We should hear something more concrete soon.
