Re: Nintendo just aren't making an effort with CE's these days
Can't really vouch much for Nintendo "CEs" because we have even fewer options over here in the states than anywhere else in the world. We almost never get a "special edition" of a Nintendo 1st party game, it just doesn't happen.
I'm not sure if just sticking an amiibo in a box and calling it a "bundle" is any lazier than sticking a scarf or a shell in a box though, but if the amiibo is available separately, it should be called a "bundle" imo. Both require special printing of the box art, but typically with these "amiibo" releases they don't seem to be calling them "collector's editions" or "limited editions" right? It's more called a "bundle". With the new ChibiRobot "CE" though, its the only place in NA to get that amiibo, so they could call it a "limited edition" and I'd be okay with that I guess.
Either way, I'd LOVE to see some CEs similar to the Japanese-only Hyrule Warriors Treasure Box edition (only with actual colored box-art) make their way into these collector-hands, but Nintendo doesn't seem to like Americans and they also seem to keep all of their cooler nick-nacks and things that would be great in a CE as foreign CN rewards and not as part of a CE.
