Nintendo initiated an interesting offer over on the UK Wii U eShop. If you buy one of six select games, you’ll receive a 10 percent discount code that can be used for amiibo on the company’s online store. Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker, Mario Kart 8, Mario Party 10, Splatoon, Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, and Hyrule Warriors are the eligible titles.
Adventures of Pip’s release date has changed once again, though this time it’s for the better. As opposed to June 10, you’ll be able to purchase the game starting on June 4 – next Thursday.
TicToc Games confirmed on Twitter just a short while ago:
Due to popular demand & the magic of @NintendoAmerica, Adventures of Pip will launch on #WiiU early: June 4!

YES, that's Thursday! Only one week! Adventures of Pip releases together on #Steam (worldwide) and #WiiU (NA) on June 4th. #indiedev #8bit

Note that Adventures of Pip’s release date only applies to North America. The European launch will take place at some time in the future.
Nintendo teamed up with Koei Tecmo for Samurai Warriors Chronicles 3’s Japanese release last year. By playing an eShop demo, players could access costumes based on Link and Zelda from Hyrule Warriors.
Unfortunately, Koei Tecmo won’t be offering these items in next month’s western version. The company told Siliconera that “those costumes are Japan-exclusive”.
