First the "rare" and "exclusive" Amiibos, and now this...
Here's some advice for the execs at Nintendo: If people want the goods and services you're selling, make sure they'll have the opportunity to buy them! They are customers! They have money! And they want to give it to you in exchange for your products! This is a GOOD thing!
I think there are some people in Nintendo's sales/marketing department who need to pull their heads out of whatever dark place they currently have them shoved.
