Splatoon amiibo

Splatoon, the third person shooter developed by Nintendo released in late May in all regions exclusively on Wii U, has managed to become incredibly successful, with the game being one of the best selling Wii U titles on the Japanese eShop as confirmed last weekend. The huge success of the Nintendo developed third person shooter has made the three Splatoon amiibo figures just as successful, with players having difficulties finding them available for purchase in stores.

A few hours ago Nintendo has confirmed that additional shipment of the three Splatoon amiibo figures will be coming in Japan later this month. The first new shipment coming on July 9th will be of the Boy and Girl Splatoon amiibo figures while the second one will be of the Squid Splatoon amiibo and it will come by the end of the month in Japan.

Unfortunately we have no news on a possible new shipment of Splatoon amiibo figures for North America but we will keep you updated on the matter as soon as possible. If you really want to purchase one of the Splatoon amiibo figures and cannot find them in any shop near you, there’s always the option of purchasing one from outside North America, as all amiibo figures are region free and compatible with all games that support them.

The three Splatoon amiibo figures have been released in all regions together with the game and they are used to unlock a special set of missions which award players with different items upon completion.

Yesterday we have reported that the Palutena amiibo figure is going to be released in North America on July 31st, the same day the Dark Pit amiibo figure launches exclusively in Best Buy stores. The official amiibo website doesn’t list any store exclusivity for the Palutena amiibo so there’s a good chance that it will be available in all stores.

Street Fighter 6, the highly anticipated brawler from Capcom, is set to receive significant balance adjustments coinciding with the arrival of Akuma on May 22nd. The trailer above offers a glimpse of the latest updates, highlighting the introduction of an exciting new wakeup drive reversal mechanic. This provides players with a valuable tool for countering combos, particularly in situations where they find themselves cornered on the screen.

The trailer showcases a plethora of fresh combat options for almost every character, hinting at potential nerfs to balance out the buffs that are being showcased. It’s safe to say that not everyone will be pleased with the changes, especially if beloved characters are being toned down. However, we’ll have to wait for the response from the competitive community to truly gauge the impact.

The release of Akuma will mark the end of the first season of content for the game, and fans can anticipate an announcement regarding the second season in the coming summer months.

Helldivers are angry at Arrowhead because the community manager was fired without due process

Throughout history, it has become evident that, in the face of tyranny, those who cherish liberty and democracy will stop at nothing to defend them. They will fight relentlessly, using every last round of ammunition and shedding the final drop of blood. In a stunning turn of events, it appears that developer Arrowhead is facing a potential revolution, as previously loyal Helldivers 2 players who once supported the developer are now expressing their outrage. They passionately advocate for justice and the inclusion of the undemocratically dismissed community manager, who has affectionately been nicknamed “General” Spitz, into the official in-game lore.

In typical fashion, an overnight Change.org petition (courtesy of RPS) has garnered nearly 4,500 signatures at the time of writing. This is an attempt to make Arrowhead reevaluate their decision to let go of Spitz, a community manager who has been an integral part of the community since the game’s release. In the midst of the PC/PSN account linking debacle, Spitz, like a game critic sensing the winds of fate, rallied the community on Discord (as seen on Twitter) to express their discontent through reviews, refunds, and other means. It enhances our influence in the discussions with Sony. They completely disregard our discord.

After the chaos subsided the following day (yesterday), Spitz addressed the community, describing this action as “almost.” It hasn’t exactly resulted in their termination. Shortly after, a final transmission was confirmed where Spitz disclosed that they had been released, expressing their resilience by saying, “Every war has its casualties.”

On May 7, 2024, around 11:45 PST, the Helldivers Discord community made an interesting discovery. It seems that the community manager, Spitz, had been unexpectedly removed from his position, and any evidence of his previous involvement in the discord was completely wiped out. This incident seems to have ignited a revolution, with Helldivers demanding the immediate reinstatement of Spitz and his immortalization in the game for his self-sacrifice.

“We strongly advocate for the official canonization of General Spitz in Helldivers lore. Embracing the spirit of liberation. Supporting democracy. For the betterment of the game and its devoted community.

It’s interesting to see how this situation unfolds. Arrowhead CEO Johan Pilestedt himself commends the determination of players in the Sony showdown, but there seems to be a hint of contradiction here. “General” Spitz provided us with some thought-provoking words to ponder: “I was well aware of the potential consequences when I made my statement about refunding and altering reviews; nevertheless, I remain steadfast in my position. I fulfilled my role as a representative of the community, just as I was expected to.

Spitz is no longer the Community Manager.
