● Nintendo of America recently tweeted that 100 amiibo are now available in North America. Currently Japan only has 99 although 20 new amiibo have been announced (8 x Super Mario series, 6 x Monster Hunter Stories series), 3 x Super Smash Bros. series and 3 x The Legend of Zelda series). I currently have 44. What about you?
● An all new Culdcept Revolt StreetPass Puzzle with fifteen puzzle pieces (picture – oh, and my two outstanding pieces are for Daigasso! Band Brothers P).
● Marvelous have reported that 200,000 copies (including digital) of Bokujou Monogatari: Mitsu no Sato no Taisetsu na Tomodachi have shipped to date (source).
● Shovel Knight amiibo support will be in Armed Blue Gunvolt 2 (Azure Striker Gunvolt 2) with the video here.
● Pokémon GO still isn’t available on Japanese iOS devices and may not be here this weekend due to international server issues.
● The latest Kirby Café teaser pic tweeted here.
● Pokémon Sun Moon plushies (Rowlet, Litten and Popplio) are releasing 18 October (picture). Thanks to Pokeshopper.
● The next McDonald’s Happy Meal gifts coming to Japan include a set of Pokémon toys and Nico ☆ Petit fashion accessories. Go here for more details.
● A Gyakuten Saiban 6 art book is coming to Japan on 25 August with 256 B5 pages for ¥2,052 (here).
● Two Tetsudou Nippon! Rosen Tabi: Kikansha Thomas-hen Oigawa Tetsudou promo videos here and here. Both videos cover both different aspects of the game (the simulation for ‘adults’ and the Thomas and Friends mini-games for ‘children’).
● Another Yokai Watch 3 gameplay video here showcasing the in-game modes of transportation.
● That’s all for now. I’ll try and write a BitSummit 4th post later if I have time and update the Release Schedule!
