With the recent dual-wielding Samus selling for a whopping $2500, it was only a matter of time before we would come across more would surface.
A new challenger is approaching… Now we have seen a defective Peach amiibo join the ranks.
A seller on ebay has just posted what appears to be at this time a legitimate defective Peach who seems to have forgotten her legs.
Currently this listing is too new to see if it will rise to the heights of the recently sold Samus, with just a few bids currently listed I am sure we will see more and more people wanting to take advantage of this latest defect.

Today’s daily Twitter post on the upcoming Wii U title, Splatoon, covers the game’s single-player “Hero mode” and its octopus antagonists:
This is a report from the Squid Research Lab. We’ve confirmed that the octopi fighters are using several different kinds of equipment. Their shields defend them from attacks, and they can wait in the ink for an ambush. They’ll use all kinds of tricks to get in the hero’s way.
Shin’en Multimedia today announced on Twitter that their block-stacking physics puzzler will finally be heading down under on December 18th. Art of Balance was released for the US and European eShops around two months ago, with a Japanese version published by Arc System Works following shortly after. The Australian release of the game might be a bit overdue, but that’s classification systems for you! European owners of the 3DS version, Art of Balance Touch, received a 25% discount on the newer Wii U game, so presumably this will also apply to customers in Australia and New Zealand.

There’s been a lot of talk lately about Wii U error code “160-0103”. There’s also been a lot of discussion about how Super Smash Bros. is primarily causing the issue.
Blaming Smash Bros. for error code 160-0103 is actually the wrong thing to be doing. A post over on Reddit mentions that there have been plenty of other Wii U games that have caused the same problem, ranging from Super Mario 3D World to Batman: Arkham Origins.
The point is Smash Bros. is just one of many games associated with error code 160-0103. There isn’t an issue with the title itself. We can’t confirm this, but the trouble could be due to a faulty internal flash chip or worn flash chip.
Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D is finally getting a downloadable release in Japan. Konami announced today that the digital version will be available on December 16 for 4,500 yen.
There are also plans to release a theme for Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D on the same day for 200 yen. By purchasing the game, fans can receive the theme for free.
Steel Diver: Sub Wars has received its version 4.0 update. Like today’s Pokemon Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire patch, it can be downloaded from the eShop. You can get a look at what’s new by checking out the attached Miiverse post above from director Takaya Imamura.
Last year, Nintendo held an event at the Los Angeles Zoo to celebrate the launch of Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D. The company went as far as to hire an actor – Parker Mills – to wear a Donkey Kong costume.
Mills has now filed a lawsuit against Nintendo, claiming that he was denied breaks and was not provided with the required ice pack to cool him down as he talked to zoo guests. The actor’s attorneys say that he suffered an aortic dissection and was forced to undergo surgery to implant a permanent heart defibrillator.
Mills’ lawsuit ultimately alleges, as reported by the LA Times, “that the company ambassador who was hired to escort him and oversee and control his activities failed to provide the proper oversight.”
Nintendo has not yet shared an official comment about the situation.
