Bowser is one of the first amiibo of wave three to be appearing in stores, and defects are already being spotted. This one is particularly amusing! Bowser is basically holding his own head in his hands… if you’ve played the original Luigi’s Mansion, this may look familiar!

The Mario Party 10 amiibo bundle may have sold out on Amazon, but you can get an order in over on Walmart. There’s sadly no way of telling how long pre-orders will be open for. For a limited time, this bundle will be the only way for consumers to obtain the new Mario amiibo.

Another day, another file size for us to pass along. Rock’N Racing Off Road, ne of the latest Wii U eShop games, takes up 271MB of space. The game should be out next week.

There will be two versions of Mario Party 10 at launch – the standard game, and a bundle containing the new Mario amiibo. Strangely, we’re now hearing that the Mario figure will be exclusive to the bundle at launch.

A notice on Amazon’s product page states, “For a limited time, the only way to play with the Mario Party Mario amiibo included!”

We’re not sure how long that “limited” window is. But at least to start out, you’ll need to pick up the bundle if you want to get your hands on the new Mario amiibo. Pre-orders are already sold out on Amazon, so that’s one retailer option already gone.
