Shulk could end up as one of the rarest – if not the rarest amiibo. The fact that it’s GameStop-exclusive in the U.S. already means that the figure will be tough to find. And outside of pre-orders, it’s sounding like the retailer won’t have much stock.
Destructoid contacted 15 GameStop locations today and was told that they “only have the stock for pre-orders, and don’t know when any additional orders will come in.” That’s on top of a source who informed the site that there will be zero extra stock on-hand.
If you did reserve a Shulk amiibo, there is good news. Some consumers have received texts from GameStop informing them that he’ll be ready for pickup in-store starting tomorrow. Try checking with your local store in the morning if you haven’t heard anything yet!
Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate can be ordered once again over on Amazon. The package contains a copy of the game, Limited Edition Supply Box Case, exclusive 3.5 inch transparent Gore Magala figure, a 6.5 x 11.5 inch screen cleaning cloth, and a Monster Hunter lanyard. The game launches this Friday.
Retro City Rampage DX’s upcoming update has a release date for Europe. Vblank Entertainment confirmed on Twitter that the patch is arriving this Thursday.
As for North America, it’ll take a bit longer. Vblank is waiting for the update to finish certification.

The Retro City Rampage DX update was submitted to NOA and NOE simultaneously, but it's unfortunately still sitting in NOA certification.

As soon as Nintendo pushes it though North American certification and it gets an NA release date, I'll let everyone know!

Are you one of those folks who likes trying things before buying? Then you’ll be happy to hear that a Citizens of Earth demo is on the way. Atlus will make the download available in North America next week.
