Earlier this week finally brought the much awaited in-store pre-orders for the Greninja amiibo at Toys R Us. Serving as their exclusive, the Greninja amiibo is bound to be about impossible to get as a walk-in, so pre-orders were vital. Reports after that day had some worrisome emails circulating of cancellations, though seemingly pretty isolated, but luckily they seem to have been reinstated. Toys R Us’ previous exclusive Lucario had a total fiasco involving cancellation and reinstatement of online pre-orders in the past, but one would have assumed that in-store pre-orders would have been pretty safe for the Greninja aiibo....

Paramount Pictures made the decision a while back to delay the Sonic the Hedgehog movie until March 2020, to allow the special effects team to rebuild the character, so he’s more like his video game counterpart. But no one told Walmart. The chain just introduced a new Sonic costume that’s frighteningly close to the original movie design.

Orders fall behind. Something starts to burn. The bliss of getting a plate out on time is short lived as orders replenish. Then the yelling begins. Oh, the yelling. And that’s just restaurant work in a video game. “I never felt like I was ahead,” Anne Wolf said, “I was either right where I needed to be or behind.” Wolf knows the heat.

However, with the recent release of WarioWare: Get it Together! things are looking mostly good for the future of this series, and this game in particular....

As with many other PVP games and experiences, Destiny 2 can be a blast but has some flaws. Balancing is an ever-present issue, with weapons like the best sniper rifles constantly changing with each new patch.

However, over time Bungie may have had a change of heart....
