Amazon not planning pre-orders for latest amiibo
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 4 Comments
Amazon has no plans to hold pre-orders for the upcoming amiibo, a representative from the retailer has confirmed. All of the figures will simply be added to Amazon’s website on September 11 during normal business hours. Given how the wave 4 and Palutena amiibo were handled, this news shouldn’t come as a big surprise.
Amazon starting to sell digital Wii U and 3DS content
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News, Wii U eShop | 20 Comments
Update 2 (9/1): Bumped to the top. Amazon has now launched its Nintendo Digital Downloads page here
.
Update: This actually looks more extensive than I originally thought. You can purchase digital codes for a good chunk of Wii U and 3DS games that have hit retail thus far (thanks astrogamer). For example, consumers can buy a code for Smash Bros. Wii U
right now. You’ll find a decent amount of codes listed for Wii U here, and codes for 3DS here.
Starting tomorrow, Amazon will begin selling digital content for both Wii U and 3DS. This includes games available on the eShop, Virtual Console releases, and DLC.
Here’s the lineup thus far:
Wii U
Golden Sun
Hyrule Warriors: The Hero of Hyrule Pack
Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land
The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap
Mario Kart 8 Bundle Pack
Pushmo World
Yoshi’s Island: Super Mario Advance 3
3DS
Kirby Fighters Deluxe
The Legend of Zelda 
Punch-Out!! Featuring Mr. Dream
Super Mario Bros. 3
It’s a bit of a limited selection, but it’s certainly a nice start. I’ll be curious to see if additional content is added in over time.

A trio of Wii U titles are on sale over on Amazon and Best Buy. Both retailers have discounted Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, Mario Kart 8, and Mario Party 10 by $15. The sale should last through the next week.
It’s not much of a discount, but I’ll also mention that Best Buy has the Splatoon Wii U bundle for $25 off. This will also be on sale through the following week.
Amazon listing suggests single release for Fire Emblem Fates in Europe
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, Rumors | 13 Comments
Fire Emblem Fates was released in two versions in Japan. In North America, that’s how the games will be sold as well (Birthright and Conquest). But what about Europe?
Amazon UK currently has a notice on its Fire Emblem Fates product page stating that there’s only one version due out throughout Europe. However, the message is only appearing on iOS/Android devices at the moment.
Keep in mind that Nintendo hasn’t made an official announcement regarding its plans for Fire Emblem Fates’ distribution in Europe. We’ll just have to wait and see if there’s any truth to Amazon’s listing.
