GameStop opening pre-orders for new amiibo tomorrow
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 7 Comments
Update (4/2): It appears that online pre-orders won’t be opening today after all. Instead, you’ll need to head to your local GameStop and place a web-in-store order.

Following today’s Nintendo Direct announcements, GameStop will soon be opening pre-orders for the new amiibo. As of tomorrow, consumers will be able to reserve Ness (again, GameStop exclusive), Robin, Charizard, Pac-Man, Lucina, and Wario. That’s in addition to the new Splatoon amiibo as well.
GameStop’s pre-orders will go live at 3 PM ET / 12 PM PT. We’ll update the site as soon as they’re available.
Update: Gone – Pre-orders for Smash Bros. amiibo coming in May now live at Best Buy

Lucina

Wario

Note that Greninja will be exclusive to Toys “R” Us, Ness is a GameStop exclusive, and Jigglypuff is a Target exclusive, so they can’t be reserved at Best Buy.

EB Games Australia already taking in-store pre-orders for Nintendo NX
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Random, Switch | 28 Comments
It’s anybody’s guess as to when we’ll be seeing the Nintendo NX. It could be next year. There’s a good chance that it will be later than that.
Still, that hasn’t stopped EB Games Australia from jumping the gun with in-store pre-orders. I have no clue why anyone would plop down a reservation right now, but it is what it is!
Update: Amazon back – The Sky Soldier pre-orders open on Amazon
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii U | 38 Comments
Update 3: (3/17/15) Pre-orders are finally back up on Amazon. Wii U version here, 3DS version here.
Update 2 (3/6/15): Pre-orders are now up on Best Buy (thanks Jake). Wii U version here, 3DS version here.
Update (3/5/15): About a day after we posted about Amazon’s pre-orders, the listings were pulled. They’re not back up, so I can’t say for sure what’s going on.
You can at least pre-order from GameStop, as the retailer’s listings are now live. Wii U’s product page is here while the 3DS one is located here. First print copies of the Wii U version come with the Wii game, which was Yuji Naka’s original vision.
Pre-orders for Rodea: The Sky Soldier are now live on Amazon. You can reserve the Wii U version here and 3DS edition here
(disregard the boxart on the page).
NIS America announced Rodea: The Sky Soldier for localization late last week. The game is launching this fall in both North America and Europe.
