Miitomo & My Nintendo are Now Live!

These are both really great starting points for what's to come in the near future for Nintendo.  Miitomo is Nintendo's first mobile app and My Nintendo is an evolution of Nintendo's first rewards system, Club Nintendo.  I'm really loving the new My Nintendo logo!  They've split My Nintendo into a 3 point system, Miitomo Points, Platinum Points, and Gold Points.  They've got some really easy ways to grab some Platinum Points right off the bat, so start exploring the page.  There's no physical rewards yet, but I'm looking forward to what's to come, fingers crossing for cloud based game purchases to carry over onto the NX!

The Japanese clothing company King of Games, will be releasing a line of t-shirts and other accessories with direct styles from the game!

The line has a release date of June 13th in Japan, ¥4,259, which is about $35 here in the U.S.  There's no news on whether stores will sell them here, I'm hoping to see some imports!

Splatoon will be released on May 29, 2015 for the Wii U, I can't wait!

Nintendo's First amiibo Variant: Super Mario - Gold Edition

After weeks of rumors and leaked images, today, Nintendo finally and officially announces Super Mario amiibo - Gold Edition!  This Midas touched Mario is exclusive to 3,000 Walmart stores with the normal $12.96 retail price tag. It makes me wonder how long Nintendo and Walmart have been organizing this, since they were left out of the Smash Bros. amiibo series exclusive club (Target - Rosalina, GameStop - Shulk, Toys R Us - Lucario, & Best Buy - Meta Knight). Soon after the announcement on Nintendo's What's New page, Walmart began it's preorder waves.  The first round selling out in just 15 minutes,  Walmart opened the preorders two hours later with the same result.  Collectors and Nintendo fans can only hope preorders will open again, otherwise will be waking up early March 20th for in store sales.  ebay already has these rarities up for sale, $55 all up to $300. 

Will Nintendo release the silver edition? We can still hope for a Club Nintendo Platinum reward!? What about a Rose Gold Peach? We can dream right? Lastly those who missed out on Mario today can still look forward to Smash Bros. Edition Charizard, Lucina, Ness, Pac-Man, Robin, & Wario preorders! Good luck amiibo Hunters!
