@Platypus101 I'm with you on the cards,but I can't help but think that as long as the Amiibo are as in demand as they are, Nintendo has little incentive to release Amiibo cards.
Mine was shipped Thursday from Costco. Will probably get it at the end of the week if my last order is any indication. Just wish Costco actually stocked the games in their stores so I could have just picked one up.
Is the North American site broken for anyone else? It plays the video as per the UK site (and I presume Japanese one), but after it doesn't load the main site for me. UK site works fine.
With the qualifers on the 3DS I have to wonder if this is even worth watching- I live only a few miles away from one of the locations. Unless they have something special set up I would only be watching contestants staring down at their screens throughout the day. I can see enough of that just stepping outside... Anyway, I wouldn't participate myself because: 1) I was never a top player and now my reflexes are older and slower 2) I am otherwise engaged the day of the final round in the 0.0000000001% chance I actually won the local preliminary
Actually, I did win a local TG-16 play challenge once. I actually came in 3rd the first day, and won the second but was still a little miffed that it was because the 1st-place player the night before (yes we both competed again) got a lower score and my own still didn't beat his from the day before.
@Captain_Toad Ah, I see now. My reflexes have slowed down a bit myself and I fell victim to the roller time and again during the two hours I played. Perhaps the OP of the translated pages had the same problem and was a bit less laid back about it...
They certainly have a large back catalog to select from. Over 30 games each on the NES and SNES, not to mention their arcade hits which even with the same titles were often different from their console counterparts.
I gave up looking for a decent pre-order bonus and just ordered it from Costco. Their games are always a few $ off, worth it if already a member. Only $53 instead of $60. $2 shipping though, so compared to Amazon or any other place with free shipping it's only $5 cheaper.
I got Mario Kart 8 last year from Dell due to a free $25 gift card with purchase (and the free game from Nintendo helped too). No such luck anymore- they have $15 cards now, and those only if you're a member.

Re: Splatoon Hype Brings Squirt Guns and Manga
@Captain_Toad Couldn't say- too much of an instruction break?
That paint brush weapon wasn't part of the testfires last weekend ...

There is a page missing- page 13, so I went ahead and made it myself using Hedgey's (facebook: hedgeyImported) translation. It is here:
