Collectors have bashed Nintendo for their negative nature regarding the distribution of amiibos, this article takes a look at how the problem can be solved.
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?
make more.
I would love it if they did direct sales and where you can preorder from them even if wait times are longer at least you can lock down that character you "mained" with this gen. We can also use more official nintendo stores also they should make the retailer specific ones more plentiful! Less marios please! Dont mind me its just that little mac amiibo : ( too quick man.
Same issue with Pre-order bonuses for games and various retailers. Should be the same across the board, retailrs can add on incentives like reward points for buying from them instead.
Make more and no more retailer exclusives, let me buy them all at one store.
