the hell?

Dr. Buni · Dec 6, 2014

This can't be serious.

Krogan · Dec 6, 2014

Wait what?

Zareka · Dec 6, 2014

...what? That can't be right.

Villager is £35 on Amazon.

Mysterious · Dec 6, 2014

God damn it, and I saw Marth and didn't buy it since I thought I would be able to find it later. ;-;

ryushe · Dec 6, 2014

Shit.

*goes to buy Villager and WFT*

breadtruck · Dec 6, 2014

Doubtful

And much more in a few hours, you can be sure of that.

entremet · Dec 6, 2014

They probably only made so much, those are sold out from Nintendo, and they're not making any more of those characters.

Nachos · Dec 6, 2014

They haven't even gotten to Christmas yet. This can't be right.

Fantastical · Dec 6, 2014

@VideoGamesPlus_ Is this satire?
@LotsaNintendo We wish. We have been notified by our official Nintendo distributor.

Wow, Nintendo got rid of those in a hurry.

mazpratim · Dec 6, 2014

WTF?

Prices are gonna skyrocket

Wreck-It Ralph · Dec 6, 2014

God dammit I wanted Villager.

evil monkey · Dec 6, 2014

Prices have already skyrocketed on eBay and Amazon. It's nuts.

TheBaldEmperor · Dec 6, 2014

I have a sealed Marth. Guess he is staying that way.

Kai Dracon · Dec 6, 2014

This is bizarre. Yes, niche characters would get less units made, but it's for Smash. Printing so few figures before Christmas for your biggest game then discontinuing them.

Same.

Glad I got in on him.

Lé Blade Runner · Dec 6, 2014

So.. Unopened Marth will be worth a lot in a little while, eh?

Lijik · Dec 6, 2014

Youd think they want to do this after christmas. Maybe they underestimated stock again like they did with the adapters

demosthenes · Dec 6, 2014

God dammit Nintendo.

What the hell.

udivision · Dec 6, 2014

Who was the target audience for those figures?
No one?

Well there you go.

Goon Boon · Dec 6, 2014

Well fuck, guess I'm picking up Captain Falcon after all when he releases.

justchris · Dec 6, 2014

Crap, I still need Marth.

Mr. Smiley · Dec 6, 2014

what the hell is going on

GotEmRunnin · Dec 6, 2014

Man I'm glad I got all of em when I did.

JohnTinker · Dec 6, 2014

I'm sorry... what?

Couldn't find any on the websites for Gamestop, ToysRUs, or Best Buy...

uh ohj

Monocle · Dec 6, 2014

Um, so are they trying to create artificial scarcity or what? Wish they would have waited a little longer.

Azure J · Dec 6, 2014

WHAT THE FUCK

I wanted a Marf badly too.

falconxcrunner09 · Dec 6, 2014

WTF I PREORDERED MARTH AND STILL NEVER GOT IT

I demand I get what I paid for

dickroach · Dec 6, 2014

not to poopoo on VideoGamesPlus, but there is no way Nintendo is going to discontinue accessories for its biggest game of the season less then a month after it comes out, a few weeks before christmas.

SeanR1221 · Dec 6, 2014

Is this in the US as well?

Can't say I care about amiibos, but now I truly hope they don't have any meaningful function in future games. :/

Seven Force · Dec 6, 2014

Glad I picked up Marth from the Nintendo World Store yesterday, then.

-Horizon- · Dec 6, 2014

dafuq

If this is what Nintendo is planning to do with the other amiibos and future ones, then I'm not buying them. I'm not gonna be forced to get them because of fear they'll never make them again. Was planning on getting Wii Fit Trainer but I guess I'm not anymore.

Velcro Fly · Dec 6, 2014

What a crock of shit Nintendo.

Insaniac · Dec 6, 2014

Uhh, that seems like a poor idea considering its not even christmas yet...

MrJonnyBigBoss · Dec 6, 2014

Scalper's paradise.

Nudull · Dec 6, 2014

Amiibo looking like a scalper-fueled disaster. What the hell, Nintendo?

Gonzo The Great · Dec 6, 2014

What the fuck is wrong with them? I can understand Marth, but Animal Crossing is hugely popular.

Panthalassic · Dec 6, 2014

I wanted Villager WTF!! I didn't even get a chance because I'm out of Canada this semester

Nori Chan · Dec 6, 2014

Might as well look for these locally now before they blow up.

DarkWish · Dec 6, 2014

Someone on Twitter posted this picture of Wave 2 shipments in Japan:

Considering Wave 1 assortments were the same as in the US, sounds like there's a good possibility we will get more of them. So I wouldn't worry just yet.

Hoho for breakfast · Dec 6, 2014

Wow better pick them up not sure if this is true. Damn I could have gotten them yesterday.

Weiss · Dec 6, 2014

brb have to go walmart for completely unrelated reasons

Zaraki_Kenpachi · Dec 6, 2014

Seriously? Has this been out a month? Fuck Nintendo if true.

Gamecube accessories, as well.

random25 · Dec 6, 2014

Woah...will still wait for future announcements but for now I'll doubt this news.

Will run to my store and secure that Marth amiibo.

Holy crap! Today's real megaton is that more than two people can have the same first name.
