GameStop is taking orders for the Shulk amiibo once again. You can grab the figure right here. Hopefully this isn’t like yesterday when Shulk was in stock for all of two minutes! Note that the amiibo won’t ship until May, based on GameStop’s listing.

E3 2015 isn’t until mid-June, but we do have a tiny bit of news about the expo already.

Nintendo has booked a 299-seat theater for an event at E3 2015. How exactly the room will be used is unknown at this time. One common thought is that it will be used for a roundtable, which would be business as usual for Nintendo.

Nintendo has also secured three booths for E3 2015. These are 4822, 5244 and 5644 in the West Hall.

E3 2015 will run between June 16 and June 18.

Mobot Studios revealed the mini action-platformer “Super Kid Ninja” for iOS today. We asked the developer if a Wii U version is in store as well.

Mobot said in response:

So it seems that Wii U isn’t getting Super Kid Ninja, but we’ll be seeing this interesting 3D mini platformer instead. That works for me!
