Monday 2-12-18: Izushi, Amiibos, and Monsters Inc

Monday returns, unbeknownst to me. Here’s the weekend’s news.

  • Takehiro Izushi Retires
  • Marina and Pearl Amiibos
  • Monsters Inc in Kingdom Hearts 3
Takehiro Izushi

You probably won’t recognize his name, but he is a man worth recognition. He began as an engineer at Nintendo in 1975. In his many years of service, he produced many well-known game titles (Metroid Fusion, Pokemon Yellow, WarioLand 4). In his later years, he transitioned to General Affairs. Now he’s retired. You were an invaluable asset to Nintendo, Takehiro Izushi. I hope you have a pleasant retirement.

Splatoon 2 Amiibo


After many months, Pearl and Marina are finally getting their own Amiibo. They will be sold in a 2 pack for $24.99 later this year. Check out this tweet by Nintendo for a small video about it.

Monsters Inc in Kingdom Hearts 3


A new trailer for Kingdom Hearts 3 has been revealed at D23 Japan 2018. In this trailer, we see a number of cutscenes as well as gameplay. The biggest news about this is the confirmation of a Monsters Inc world. Watch the trailer yourself here.
