Rare Amiibo Will Be For Sale Again

Nintendo’s latest licence to print money has been conflicting for me. On one hand they are incredibly detailed and well made for the cost and they occasionally do offer some really cool uses. On the other hand they are so, so, so annoying to get your hands on and if you aren’t a hardcore collector camping outside stores then you might even find it impossible get the most out of your Amiibo compatible games. Well there is some good news from Nintendo’s Twitter account. Some of the more uncommon NFC figures will”soon” be available at retailers. Unfortunately with no actual release date you might as well sell your house now and live outside GameStop to ensure you get the Fox, Shulk, Greninja, Lucario or Little Mac that you’ve been looking for.

Metal Gear Solid V’s Latest Game Breaking Bug

After sorting out the last bug with Quiet corrupting your save data and stabilizing the servers, The Phantom Pain should be all good now right? Well that isn’t quite the case for PlayStation 4 gamers. Konami is now telling us that if there are multiple PSN accounts on one console that are playing the game you might get an error telling you that your save data is unusable. People buy a console for everyone in the house these days anyways, don’t they?

They began by tweeting arbitrary news and then suddenly broke into information about an explosion in Singapore. After leading people on for a while they said this is the future in Call of Duty Black Ops III… Nice Activision, real nice.
