Just…why [Update:Jigglypuff went liveand sold out in about two minutes. This wave is going to be fun.] Strap yourselves in for a rant, ladies and gentlemen. While covering all of the amiibo exclusives in the past, there was one retailer that handled its situation particularly poorly: Target. In the case ofRosalina, pre-orders went up in the dead of night for roughly 10 minutes, and were promptly sold out.

I need to pay closer attention to my email inbox! I almost completely missed these amazing, amazing, amazing works of art!

They’re highly poseable, incredibly detailed, and stupidly awesome. He would plug anywhere from a handful of hours to40on any one set! That’s dedication!...

He’s going to hate that.” Jonathan and Spencer playedKnackat PAX Prime 2013 and, from the sound of it, this may not be quite the PlayStation 4 launch title some of us were hoping for. I’m rooting for Mark Cerny and co. at SCE Japan Studio but the levels that were playable at the show didn’t inspire much confidence....

But there’s nothing that the Wii U has that the Vita and PS3 doesn’t,” Richmond told NowGamer. “You know, it’s an interesting piece of technology, and I’m interested to see how people use it....

Plus some Hunter multiplayer screenshots Blink, and you might miss this new trailer forCrysis 3. It’s the kind of thing that’ll pique your interest but isn’t long enough to do much more than that. The video did, however, get me to go look up the game’sHunter mode, which we have new screenshots of. In this multiplayer mode, two nanosuit-wearing hunters stalk Cell troopers before they can reach an evac team.
