We’ve been cutting back a bit on posting custom amiibo on the site, but this one is too impressive not to share! One fan has created a custom Fierce Deity Link figure… and it looks totally awesome. You’ll find additional photos in the gallery below.

Style Savvy sequel will support amiibo

Posted on 10 years ago by Patrick(@Patricklous) in 3DS, 3DS eShop, News | 5 Comments

The official website for the next installment in Syn Sophia and Nintendo’s actually-really-good-I-swear series was today updated with some new information. Girls Mode 3: Kira Kira Code will feature 19,000 different items of clothing and accessories, including special items that are unlocked by using amiibo. The game will support all amiibo, however it seems that only the figures for Mario, Peach, Yoshi and Kirby will give out special “character items” like the stylish Mario hat pictured above. I for one am disappointed at the lack of Donkey Kong’s tie and King Dedede’s regal robes.

Nintendo will be increasing the price of amiibo in Canada starting on April 1. Figures will now cost $15.99 CAD rather than $13.99 CAD.

“The price increase is in direct response to current and future projected exchange rates between Canadian and US dollars,” Nintendo said. “Retailers are free to set their own prices.”

In other news, we’re hearing that the gold Mario is coming to muliple retailers in Canada. This is due out on April 10 for $15.99.

Wave 4 of amiibo releasing late next month in Australia/New Zealand

Posted on 10 years ago by Dennis Gagliardotto(@LyonHart_) in 3DS, News, Wii U | 15 Comments

In Australia and New Zealand… Yes, still no date for the always bereft United States, but we remain hopeful that sooner or later we’ll get an official date on a Smash wave for the first time since Super Smash Bros. Wii U released way back in November (we probably won’t).

Nintendo of AU/NZ just tweeted that on April 25th, Australia and New Zealand will be receiving Wave 4 of the Super Smash Bros. line of amiibo. Wave 4 includes Robin, Lucina, Wario, Charizard, Ness, and Pac-Man.

So far the US is currently the only region without a solid release date. So, the usual.

Do note that there are also no preorders available ANYWHERE for this wave, which makes you wonder what kind of a mosh-pit is sure to ensue in retailers once people get word that they’ve released. There is certainly still time for preorders to happen, but if prior waves are any indication, preorders have usually begun soon after the release of a new wave, and we still haven’t heard a thing regarding wave 4 other than “they’re coming” from a Nintendo Direct way back in mid-January.

Are you planning on picking any of Wave 4 when they slowly but not so surely release? Let us know below!
