NCL stocks up 8.94%, Miitomo news, amiibo badges, Splatoon update, Etrian Odyssey V demo and more
● Nintendo Co. Ltd. stocks closed the week at 16,270 up an amazing 8.94% from yesterday. The number is due in part to the international success of Pokémon GO (which still isn’t even available in Japan as I write this) and is even more impressive due to the continued fallout from Brexit and the strong yen.
● The Japanese version of Miitomo added its first Star Accounts. The first batch are four comedians that I haven’t heard of. Also, the first Splish Splash Party! Stylish Sea Series" stage is available in Miitomo Drop and diving helmets and suits (both pictured) and more are available in the Miitomo Shop.
● Collectible Badge Center added new Splatoon amiibo and Pokémon badges (plus some Japanese garden-style dry landscape badges).
● Splatoon Ver.2.10.0 update is now live and fixes the floating/invisibility bug from the recent update.
● An Etrian Odyssey V demo (and pre-load) is coming to Japan on 20 July. Go here for full details.
