More compatible games to be announced for Animal Crossing amiibo cards
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 3 Comments
The Animal Crossing amiibo cards work with the recently-released Happy Home Designer, and some can even be scanned in with Super Mario Maker. Also, they’ll be compatible with Animal Crossing: amiibo Festival. That won’t be the end of their use apparently.
In an info card included with Happy Home Designer, Nintendo says that additional compatible games will be announced in the future. We’re not sure what’s planned, but it’s always nice to see amiibo extended to more titles.
Oh, and in case you needed a reminder, Nintendo reconfirms that a total of four Animal Crossing amiibo card series are planned. Each series is comprised of 100 cards.

Although some amiibo are losing their retailer exclusivity in North America, a new set of upcoming figures will be sold at just one store. It turns out that the amiibo for the Mii Fighters will be distributed at only Toys “R” Us. That information is based on the image above, which is a photo snapped from a display.
All of the Mii Fighters are scheduled for November 1. You’d have to think that after a few months have passed, the amiibo will be available at other retailers as well.

Posted on 8 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
Animal Crossing: amiibo Festival will launch in Europe on November 20th, essentially taking over the release date spot of the delayed Star Fox Zero. The image above shows what exactly you’ll get when you buy the game in stores: the game itself, an Isabelle amiibo, a Digby amiibo and three amiibo cards.
Also hitting store shelves on November 20th are several other new amiibo. One of your options is a 3 pack containing K.K. Slider, Reese and Cyrus. You will also be able to buy all of those separately, in addition to Tom Nook, Mabel and Lottie.
More Animal Crossing amiibo figures revealed

Four new Animal Crossing amiibo figures have been revealed through Nintendo’s website.
In Japan, Resetti, Blathers, Kicks, and Celeste are due out on December 17. They’ll be preceded by the initial figures that we saw awhile back, including K.K. Slider and Tom Nook on November 21. That means there will be two waves of Animal Crossing figures.
Take a look at some photos of today’s new amiibo below.

Shulk, Greninja, Lucario amiibo spotted in Best Buy’s system – no longer exclusives?
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 10 Comments
Update (9/30): Bumped to the top again. Lucario, Shulk, and Greninja are now in Best Buy’s DC warehouse. It shouldn’t be much longer before you can purchase these figures at the retailer. Additionally, Marth, Little Mac, Captain Falcon, and Fox have been spotted, which makes sense given Nintendo’s announcement earlier today about the amiibo restock.
Update (9/28): Bumped to the top. The tag below was spotted at Toys “R” Us, giving more credibility to the talk of these three amiibo no longer being exclusive.
Original (9/26): Retailer exclusives for amiibo have been going on for awhile now. Shulk, for instance, has long been a GameStop exclusive. The same goes for both Greninja and Lucario at Toys “R” Us.
At least for these three amiibo, they may soon become more widely available at stores. Shulk, Greninja, and Lucario have all been spotted in Best Buy’s system. Could that mean their exclusivity period will soon be ending?
