@CutchuSlow did you not read the patch notes?

"A Nopon NPC, Miibomii, has appeared at Llyn Nyddwr Camp in the Fornis region. Meeting certain criteria while playing the game will also let you obtain the aforementioned Pyra and Mythra amiibo items from Miibomii." Which clearly means you won't need the amiibo

@smeggysmeg I cancelled my order with GAME since it's nearly a tenner more expensive than with the My Nintendo Store, very easy to do and the amiibo are still in stock on the MNS so there's no harm in switching over!

@ryancraddock still available today, thankfully they seem to have a decent amount of stock. Either that or I dramatically overestimated how popular they would be 😅

@RyanCraddock they've been up on the My Nintendo Store all afternoon so maybe you need to do an update article 😜

@ZealMajin they're currently up and available on the My Nintendo Store!

I have zero need for these at all as I've got two sets of limited edition Zelda joycons now, but zomg so purdy! 😍😍😍

@Jop this is the UK charts article for this week and Tears of the Kingdom is the #1 game, what exactly did you expect from this article?

@Olliemar28 great, thanks for letting me know. Excited to see if Zelda kept up the momentum!

@Olliemar28 any sign of the UK charts for this week? I figured the Japanese ones have been away due to their golden week holidays but can't think why the UK ones haven't shown up this week 🤔

@Weewoo they have low drop rates, try saving before you scan each amiibo and reload until you get something you want

@SBandy1 what a stupid way to write a tweet

What the hell does YA stand for? I'm racking my brain and coming up empty, he's used this acronym twice as well so he obviously thinks people know but I haven't got a clue 🤷🏼‍♂️

@AlanaHagues the Ocarina of Time Link from the anniversary series gave me the Lon Lon Ranch fabric, it's got a cute cow on it!

@keife191 I got the Sea-breeze boomerang from the Smash Toon Link, so I think there's some crossover amongst the various entries

@PinderSchloss you know you don't have to click on every article, right?

@Arawn93 though I did just see a report about Xbox series X/S reaching 2 million sales 12 weeks quicker than the Switch, so what do I know 😅

@Arawn93 I don't think we can say that about the UK market anymore you know, Nintendo certainly haven't reached PlayStation status but they're not playing second fiddle to Sega anymore

@Inkless I too am a marketing man's wet dream 😆

Do people not know that Xenoblade and Persona share a composer? I'm not sure if he came back for more recent games but lot of the music from X was composed by the guy who did the famous tracks from Persona, I forget his name though 😅

@ZealMajin I'm hoping the My Nintendo Store will do a 'register your interest' type thing (so scalpers will be kept at bay) since no doubt they'll be cheaper than the price GAME currently has them listed for plus the ridiculous £5 for p&p, but I've placed a pre-order with them just in case. These are just too important to me to miss

@StefanN I get you, it didn't bother me too much I can appreciate that it bothered some people. Can't remember ever having to backtrack too much apart from that one quest 😂

@StefanN no worries, let's hope you won't be waiting as long as I have been 😆
What do you mean about Hollow Knight?

@StefanN no it's another game, I think they were in development around the same time Blasphemous released so they got a fair amount of flack for looking like a copycat... but it's vapourware at this point, I think it was originally supposed to come out in 2019 maybe?

@Sonicka my reactions were too slow, I had to Google it later 🤣

@Nanami_Ataraxia I was super excited for it the first time it appeared in an indie direct claiming to release in 2019, 4 years later (and seemingly several changes in genre) however...

@Sonicka ah yes, that tiny throwaway detail only revealed in a split second blink-and-you'll-miss-it screenshot 😅

I'm surprised Mineko's Night Market was given the opening spot considering how many times it's been in an indies direct and then just disappeared without trace, let's hope it manages to stick the landing this year finally

I loved the original but I'm unsure how I feel about the sequel, it seems... different somehow? Like it lost some of the charm of the original perhaps 🤔

@BenAV I get you. I will say though, this game sucks you in. I really never thought I was into games like this but it's just so brilliant I couldn't put it down until I finished it, and it's not overly long either. Well worth giving it a go if you think you'll enjoy it.

I'm not very good at rhythm games but the Zelda one was so good I think I'll have to give this one a go!

@BenAV it's an excellent game but if you lack the patience to try punishingly difficult boss battles over and over again then it may not be for you

Lol @ the sequel to Blasphemous being out before the Last Faith releases 😆

@Nanami_Ataraxia hers is the best story in the game, imo

@Sonicka (spoiler)insert your text here(/spoiler), but replace the round brackets with square ones so your post will have one of these in it and people can choose whether or not to reveal the spoiler.

Omg mods my first comment was a joke, get a grip.

@Sonicka omg my Xeno lore must be rusty because I don't know who's been redacted 😅 do you know how to include a spoiler tag?

@Sonicka an amalgamation of who? The trailer went by so fast I don't think I caught what you mean...

@Nanami_Ataraxia omg if you like Mio you're gonna be in for a wild ride once you start playing 3 😆

On topic though, these amiibo are gorgeous and if I can't get my hands on them because of scalpers I will be so flipping mad!

Nintendo is trolling us releasing the Xenoblade story content right before Zelda releases 😂

@LordBakemono I was making a joke about how clickbaity this article headline is, I don't think the term "Karen" means what you think it means 💁🏼‍♂️

@candy94 I've just finished securing mine, now I can cancel my ShopTo order that's £20 more expensive. Though I'd imagine they'll be dropping the price soon and crowing about it to drum up interest.

Just waiting on the pro controller now, which is notably still absent from the My Nintendo Store...

@Nanami_Ataraxia no worries, I know how awful it would be to send off a special edition only to get a standard one back!

@Spookydux be careful, you have to sign a disclaimer saying you're ok with the fact you might not get the same ones back

@Nanami_Ataraxia unfortunately when you arrange a repair you have to sign a disclaimer saying you're ok with the fact they might not send you back the ones you sent in, I've heard too many horror stories of people sending neon joycons in (only to get grey ones back) to risk sending any special edition ones in for repair when there are plenty of places who'll replace your control sticks for a reasonable price.

@Nanami_Ataraxia you won't want to send those in to Nintendo, you might not get the same ones back.

@Dev9417 I found the whole weekend to be a total waste of time and effort, only had a handful of real matches against Nessies and of those handful only two were wins. Bigfoot appeared once in standard mode but the tricolour mode was a total bust, every match I played was against fellow aliens so I gave up trying after a while.
Really feels like Nintendo need to fix the 3 team concept, it just wasn't fun to fight against my own team all weekend and you can feel the missing energy when people drop out of matches seemingly on purpose because those matches are totally pointless. I'd rather wait longer to match an opposing team than spend 10 matches playing against my own team, this is the first Fest I've played where I didn't reach "ruler" status because I won so few matches. Constantly losing just isn't fun.

@ManaOwls thanks, that's useful information. Doesn't look like they take PayPal tho 😭

@WoomyNNYes I think it entirely depends on the "job" i.e. which weapons are provided and how high your hazard level is currently set. Some jobs are just way harder than others when crap weapons are on the rotation, for instance the one running at the moment is awful and I got demoted after a run of failures during the 1st and 2nd waves... a high hazard level plus crap weapons with a glowflies round at high tide? That's basically an instawipe in my experience.

I did notice something weird recently, I finally managed to scrape together enough silver scales to buy the pink slopsuit and following the subsequent expansion of the shop I was getting matched with way more players wearing white and black suits; no idea if this is related but I had a pretty good run of managing to get up to over 100 EVP every time I played (I usually play until I get the super bonus and/or my king salmonid meter gets emptied, then wait until the next job arrives) but this most recent job is hellish in the extreme
