Siliconera: Nippon Ichi hired pop artist Shinonoko to create new promo artwork for Cave Story 3D. We showed a bunch of illustrations including new artwork for the main characters yesterday.
The popular figures (which can connect to Wii U and 3DS games) are making Nintendo a lot of money. While they’ve so far all come from Nintendo characters (minus the few third-party mascots that are in Super Smash Bros.), the Japanese company surprised many by recently revealing one based on the hero of the indie platformer Shovel Knight.
Well, why stop there? Here are some indie game stars that deserve their own Amiibos.
Yes please. Actually no. Any more Amiibo's and soon I'll be bankrupt, and require storage solutions.
"Not everyone has both Vita and 3DS, which makes me sad as a general fan of gaming. You’ve already seen me on this website gushing about various Vita exclusives time and time again, and someone else will tackle the eventual list of best Vita games, but today I want to look at a bunch of 3DS exclusives that I love." -PSLS
Etrian Odyssey IV is hard, but actually easy compared to the first three. Those were murder. Great games.
Bravely Default, Shin Megami Tensei IV and Dragon Quest VII would be my reason to buy the 3DS. Two more as good reasons and I will buy it.
11 Vita exclusives that make the 3ds jealous...
Uncharted Golden Abyss
Gravity Rush
Soul Sacrifice
Freedom Wars
Persona 4 Golden
Phantasy Star Nova
lBP Vita
Tales Of Hearts R
SAO Hallow Fragment
Killzone Mercenary
Ys Memories of Celceta
...Glad I have both consoles so I can enjoy all these exclusives :)

"Welcome to another installment of Retro Weekend, the weekly feature where I play a classic game and get the chance to write whatever I want about it!

In terms of "retro" gaming this may not be the oldest game out there, but it certainly is inspired by and even reminds me of some of the finest retro games out there. It got me thinking about this whole retro revival we're in right now..."
