One neat feature in Yoshi’s Woolly World is the ability to tap amiibo in the game to change Yoshi’s yarn pattern. The Splatoon Twitter account recently showed off that this also works for inkling amiibo and provided a look at the squid-inspired pattern. Does it hold up against the original design or would you rather rock the tried and true green?
Update: here’s another shot from in-game

The third daily stage for Pokémon Shuffle this week is now here and it brings Zangoose! Zangoose will be made available every Wednesday for the next two weeks and can only be played once per day – this gives you two chances to catch it, as Zangoose is unavailable outside of this event.

Nintendo has added another two weapons to Splatoon. Players can begin trying out the Sploosh-o-matic, in addition to the .96 Gal Deco.
Nintendo describes the Sploosh-o-matic as follows:
It’s range is super short, but it gobbles up foes in close-quarters combat. Take them by surprise and there’s no escape! The Squid Beakon subs will help you get in there, and the Killer Wail special will let you wreck shop once you do.
And here’s the .96 Gal Deco overview:
It’s a more sparkly version of the original .96 Gal, but this one comes with a Splash Wall sub and a Kraken special to strike a perfect balance between defense and attack.
We have a couple of Nintendo-related pre-order updates.
The first, coming from Target, is the NFC adapter that allows amiibo to be used with standard 3DS systems. That’s located here.
Additionally, pre-orders are starting to go live for the Skylanders SuperChargers Dark Edition Starter Pack (featuring Dark Bowser/Donkey Kong). On Amazon, it can be reserved here. GameStop has it here.
