The Nintendo Amiibo Discussion Thread

[toxicatom5]

I think Nintendo is following this path with Amiibo too, Iwatasan. Let's face it, Nintendo has a lot of resources. If they wanted to mass produce them all it could be done in a heartbeat. Instead they are drip feeding the market with reprints of certain Amiibo. A little bit at a time until they reach that balance of supply and demand that keeps interest high. This isn't new for Nintendo, just look at the way they controlled supply of the Wii. It wasn't readily available in stores for almost a year. They know how to keep the hype going....and we love them for it.
