The one problem with restocks here in the UK is it means the prices will go up. It started as 10.99, then 12.99, then 14.99, and now 19.99 for one figure. It's ridiculous.
I still find it hilarious when people say the UK has it much better with amiibo. We don't. I went into the only store that stocks amiibo around me (apart from GAME, but their selection is Wave 1 commons) and saw 2 Marios. That was their whole selection.
Uh, what? It was never a 'maybe'. It was a promise. The Wii U version was the most wanted version. People funded it so that they could play it on their Wii Us.
@Shirma_Akayaku Yep, they made fun of their own commercial on the Splatoon site as well. In the video section, the 'Squid Kid' commercial's description is 'You're a kid, you're a squid' instead of the generic 'coming to Wii U' message.
I guess a European release will come later for my game. A shame, really, because it's my home country (UK) yet I won't even be able to release it for a while. Please Nintendo, adopt the IARC system.
Amiibo are $15.99? Over here, the MSRP is £19.99 ($31 USD/$37 CAD). Prices for games vary, from £39 ($61 USD/$73 CAD) to £59 ($92 USD/$111 CAD - granted, most games are now £39). I paid about £300 ($471 USD/$566 CAD) for my Wii U.
I think this should have just had a demo and been a full game instead of the approach they're taking here. I loved the original Pullblox but never got Fallblox or Pullblox World. Also, Mallo for Smash!
@Kirk I think it might be a hint at Minecraft, since kids also love Minecraft.
Anyway, it's the Nintendo World Championship and only the US gets to compete? You could have at least made it an online tournament, Nintendo. Plus, there's no equivalent to the Best Buy demos of games. Not even eShop demos. -_-

@BLPs Awesome! I'm still waiting for my reply back from Nintendo
Re: Video: New Nintendo Game Seminar Titles Make Début Ahead of Japanese Wii U eShop Releases
@BLPs I can't wait to see yours
Re: Mario Parody Kill The Plumber Rejected From iOS App Store On Grounds Of Copyright
Yet that game 'Catch the Rabbit' that stole Nabbit's design is allowed?
Re: Editorial: Nintendo's Approach to amiibo is Increasingly Frustrating
I'm getting the AC, Yarn Yoshi and 8 bit Mario amiibo. Maybe Chibi Robo.
Re: Video: UCraft's CraftyKart PowerPack Mod Gets Its Own Hard Rockin' Trailer
Cube Life looks better, to be honest.
Re: Reggie Fils-Aime Acknowledges the Need to Improve amiibo Stock Availability

Re: Nindies@Home E3 Promotion Offers Wii U eShop Demos With 15 Percent Off The Final Game
Is it in Europe?
Re: Rumour: Animal Crossing and Pixel 8-Bit Mario amiibo Look Set For E3 Reveal
I need all of those amiibo, plus the Yarn Yoshi. RIP Wallet
Re: Rumour: Animal Crossing and Pixel 8-Bit Mario amiibo Look Set For E3 Reveal
My poor, poor wallet.
Re: Ryu, Roy, New Stages and More Now Available in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U & 3DS
I don't play Smash that often, so will be holding off on these.
Re: Street Fighter Legend Ryu Found In Super Smash Bros. Patch Code
I can't wait to use him!
Re: Best Buy Canada Message Suggests a Mario Maker Release Date of 11th September
@GuyWithTheGames Maybe it's releasing on the 25th in Europe/South Africa, and the 11th in the US.
Re: Exciting Hints of amiibo Restocks Can Be Found in Dull Manufacturing Forms
Hoping for a UK restock of Shulk. He was the one amiibo I really wanted to get.
Re: Official Nintendo UK Store Flogs Rare amiibo in Bundles
I still find it hilarious when people say the UK has it much better with amiibo. We don't. I went into the only store that stocks amiibo around me (apart from GAME, but their selection is Wave 1 commons) and saw 2 Marios. That was their whole selection.

Someone's going to be fired.

Re: Poll: We Need to Talk About amiibo - Where Do You Stand?
I'm nearly done with amiibo. All I'm hoping to get now are Yarn Yoshi and Duck Hunt Duo, but I'm probably not going to get them due to stock issues.
On the other hand, I'd be all over indie amiibo, even just as cards.
Re: The Splatoon Inkbrush Weapon is Set to Arrive Today
I can't wait to try it out.
Re: Pixel Slime U
@vitalemrecords This actually looks good. Just because one of his games was shovelware, doesn't mean they'll all be bad by default.
Re: Humble Nindie Bundle Adds Three New Games
If only it was available in the UK...
Re: Splatoon Ranked Battle Mode and First Free DLC Go Live Today
Awesome! I can't wait.
Re: Competition Winners: Here Are The Masters of Splatoon Propaganda
Well done to the winners!
Re: Review: Blocky Bot (Wii U eShop)
Hoping this comes to Europe.
Re: Review: Stone Shire (Wii U eShop)
It looks like a pre-alpha game, just to show off the concept.
Re: Weirdness: Lorry Thieves Make Off With Splatoon Special Editions in Europe
Hoping this doesn't affect ShopTo.
Re: RCMADIAX Announces Three New Titles For The Wii U eShop, Arriving In North America This Summer
@A01 It's about $2000 to get a game rated by both PEGI and USK, and then a further $2000 each for New Zealand and Australia.

Re: RCMADIAX Announces Three New Titles For The Wii U eShop, Arriving In North America This Summer
Not in Europe? D:
Re: Review: Splatoon (Wii U)
Sounds like an 8 or 9. I'm very excited either way, my copy is arriving today!
Re: Exclusive: Slightly Mad Studio Head Ian Bell Sets The Record Straight On Project CARS Wii U
Uh, what? It was never a 'maybe'. It was a promise. The Wii U version was the most wanted version. People funded it so that they could play it on their Wii Us.
Re: Nintendo Of America Joins Snapchat And Periscope In Time For E3 2015
@Warbeard Another WP user! I think Snapchat is coming to Windows Phone, according to a (deleted) tweet.
Re: Nintendo Download: 28th May (Europe)
Splatoon (retail) for me!
Re: Weirdness: Find Out If You Are A Squid With This Splatoon Infographic
@Shirma_Akayaku Yep, they made fun of their own commercial on the Splatoon site as well. In the video section, the 'Squid Kid' commercial's description is 'You're a kid, you're a squid' instead of the generic 'coming to Wii U' message.
Re: Project CARS Studio Boss Admits to Problems With Wii U Version, Hoping For Nintendo Hardware Announcement at E3
Wow. They cancelled the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions, delayed the mobile versions and now this?
Re: Unity 5 Support Underway for Wii U, Though First Releases Not Due Until After Fall
Well, this'll be good for my game. I'm making it in Unity.
Re: Little Devil Inside Hits Its Target and is Coming to Wii U
Another Wii U title is always good (except for the occasional Meme Run)
Re: Review: Swords & Soldiers II (Wii U eShop)
My game will never be this good ;-;
Re: Nintendo Download: 21st May (North America)
@ThomasBW84 Will you guys be reviewing Funk of Titans? I'm interested in it, but you haven't put up a review yet.
Re: Exclusive: eShop Publishers Are Dropping Releases In Germany Due To Low Sales And Cost Of USK Rating
I guess a European release will come later for my game. A shame, really, because it's my home country (UK) yet I won't even be able to release it for a while. Please Nintendo, adopt the IARC system.
Re: Editorial: The eShop's Pricing Dilemma is the Fault of Many, But Damages Creativity and Risk Taking
I'm terrified my game will be priced wrong and will sell badly. I'm aiming for a £5/$6 price tag, with 6 worlds and about 10 levels each.
Re: More Club Nintendo Goodies Coming To The European Stars Catalogue
I have 5300 stars, so if the trophies are 5000, I have just enough. Yay!
Re: Nintendo Announces Best Buy Locations and Details for Nintendo World Championships 2015 Qualifiers
So, US only, 8 locations and NES Remix.
Wow, this is disappointing.

Re: Splatoon Global Testfire is Confirmed for One More Round
Re: Monochroma For Wii U Scrapped Due To Technical Issues
I hate it when this happens. Just delay it or get a team. You promised a Wii U release.
Re: GetClose: A Game for RIVALS
@GetClose Do you have a timeframe for when the game will launch in Europe?
Re: Fullblox Is Available To Download On The European 3DS eShop Right Now
@beserker99 Yeah, it is.
I think this should have just had a demo and been a full game instead of the approach they're taking here. I loved the original Pullblox but never got Fallblox or Pullblox World. Also, Mallo for Smash!
Re: Great News, Just Dance Fans, Ubisoft Has Confirmed Its E3 Conference Time
Yay, I'm so excited.

Re: Nintendo Announces Its Plans for E3 2015, Headlined By New Nintendo World Championships
@Kirk I think it might be a hint at Minecraft, since kids also love Minecraft.

Re: Reminder: The First Splatoon Global Testfire Details Are Out
I can't believe I'm doing this.
Re: Nintendo Suggests That Additional DLC for Mario Kart 8 and Super Smash Bros. Will Keep Us Playing
All I need is Waluigi Pinball. Please Nintendo.
