Stevivor -- "Wave 2 of Nintendo’s amiibos have been released to the wild, and already, two of them appear to have sold out.
"A quick canvas of five shops across three Melbourne CBD chains — Target, EB Games and JB Hi-Fi — by Stevivor this morning has shown that Little Mac and Pit had come and gone."
A new amiibo has its release date from Nintendo, and pre-orders have started revealing the price and how it's the most expensive figure ever.
NE: "Nowadays, amiibo cost more than ever, and they don't offer many more in-game bonuses than before. Should Nintendo switch to cards instead?"
Everything Nintendo doesis expensive these days. This company loves to gouge pockets. What’s sad, people willing to pay for it.
I used to collect amiibos, especially the Smash Brothers ones. Ended up with nearly 100 of them. Eventually sold them all to a collector. I pick and choose which Amiibos to purchase nowadays, but usually it's the Zelda ones.
Upcoming amiibo figures from Nintendo appear to have received an official price cut - here are the new prices.
Nintendo gets away with murder when it comes to its game prices . They're still selling some of their last gen games for full price.
Not just full price, but $80 when last gen it was $60… and $70… which, don’t get me started on that.
£74.99 ($100) Switch 2 games didn't last long in the UK and games on key cards are annoying. Amiibo has been problematic from the start, prices a bit high, then the scalpers get hold of them, not forgetting stupid regional exclusives. On top of that, the content you get is fairly poor, then you have a figure gathering dust. For us poor gamers (me), Nintendo should've released Amiibo without the figures, just the bases showing who was who. I paid into a few of them during the Wii U era, but not Switch. With all of this, why would Nintendo be bothered?
Got 2 of each ordered as i want to use most of this batch as well but over here in uk seems like Luigi, Zelda, and Captain falcon are already unavailable through Amazon just too close to chrsitmas and with scalpers on top it's a shame for the proper fans, just get your pre orders in now and maybe even duplicates like myself incase they have any issues getting them to me due to stock.
it seems like nintendo is playing the artificial shortage marketing game again to create demand. They have done this on various things since 1987 when zelda 2 came out for the NES. There is no reason nintendo should discontinue any of these or have shortages.
GAME have the 2Nd batch in stock Now! Just seen Luigi and little Mac plus others today 12th dec!
