A word from Nintendo Worker

Also GAFfers reported that Nintendo implied that they are going to send more GameCube Adapters along with Wave 2 shipments.

Edited: Silly me, I thought I made a new thread but I accidentally posted it in other thread.

 

[MrSaturn99]

THANK GOD

 

[GtwoK]

Still no word on Wave 2 dates for NA, yeah?

 

[daripad]

Now give me Captain Falcon and more stock for these things please

 

[HawthorneKitty]

Awesome, was worried I wouldn't get Wii Fit Trainer.

 

[Velcro Fly]

Great news.

Still feel good about preordering a ton of them during the BB glitch last night.

 

[The Lamp]

This doesn't confirm the GameCube adapter situation. I don't care about plastic figures, I want GameCube adapters

 

[SerTapTap]

Good news, hope the gamecube adapter thing is real too, not a direct confirmation of that

 

[Usobuko]

Make the other amiibo not retailer exclusive, put them on amazon and I'm back. I'll buy the whole thing.

This was a nice confirmation anyway.

 

[Kriken]

Oh thank God, got passed when I missed out on a Marth Amiibo. I can patiently wait for a restock

Spoiler

For now...

 

[FunkyMunkey]

Exactly what I thought. Nintendo turning down money to create some sort of false-demand doesn't make sense. Too bad for those who stocked up on WFT and Villager but eh that's the price of a gamble.

 

[Neoxon]

Oh thank god

 

[alf717]

This is great news. Screw the scalpers.

 

[Vylash]

oh thank goodness, i've been putting off getting the Wii Fit Trainer one

Well, someone mentioned it in other thread but I couldn't find the quote and thread itself. I should have subbed that thread. Nintendo Representative said that they are shipping more adapters along with wave 2 according to other post.

Until I receive some official word about restocks from Nintendo I'm more inclined to trust what a supplier (Solutions2Go) is saying over what a random customer service agents is saying. Notice what he is saying is technically correct - they haven't "officially" be discontinued yet but in practice sadly they probably are.

 

[James Scott]

Well, there goes my dream of selling my Marth for 100 dollars...but now my dream of owning 2 Marths will come true!

 

[Crayolan]

Good. It'd be nice if Nintendo would make an official statement on this and the gamecube adapters though.

 

[razgriz417]

When can we expect wave 2 to hit?

 

[Jailer of Hope]

When can we expect wave 2 to hit?

Next Sunday.

EDIT: In the US.

I don't think he's a random customer agent... there's a David Young at NOA who is an assistant manager in PR.

Edit: Yeah I'm guessing he's this guy so I want to believe him. http://media.nintendo.com/pressroom/E32013/bios/Bios_E313_DavidYoung.pdf

 

[SalvaPot]

The ride never ends! This won't stop scalpers for the holidays, tho.

 

[mdubs]

Oh ok, well that is more encouraging if this is the same person.

 

[demosthenes]

I've talked to Ninendo of America customer service twice in the past 9 days. Their responses were the same each time. They're making them, but they're selling fast. Even when I told them that no local stores (best buy, target, gamestop (like 5 of them)) have gotten any since the initial shipment he basically ignored me.

It's frustrating.

 

[HardRojo]

I'll make sure to get two adapters as soon as I find some, even though I don't have a Wii U right now.

David Young has worked at Nintendo for over 24 years, so I'll take his word seriously.

 

[Kyou]

But Canada said!

 

[The Broken Ska Record]

I am cautiously optimistic.

 

[……forgetit]

Fuck you nintendo, you mean I drove to walmart gamestop and best buy and bought 15 villager figures for nothing?

Spoiler

I didn't really do this

 

[Nathan_Drake]

I returned my Smash logo GC controller I have been sitting on. I was talking to the Best Buy CS person and they understood. They said they have no expectation of getting more. I am going with the PDP fighter controller that plugs into the Wii Mote. I picked up Yoshi but I am having a hard time finding Princess or Mario.

 

[kuroneko0509]

Scalpers am (ry

 

[illadelph]

It'd be nice for them to make an official statement, right now we're going by a supposed screenshot of a phone's e-mail app

Another thing: if retailers don't want to take the chance of stocking shit in their stores, so be it, but I should be able to order the product right from Nintendo if that's the case

 

[IntelliHeath]

Anyway, people shouldn't stop looking for amiibo that they need for their collection. Keep checking the stores daily on websites. That's how I found few of my Amiibo.

Since people know that the stuffs didn't discontinued so I wonder if that guy would able to sell 10 marth amiibo?

 

[Seven Force]

Crisis (seemingly) averted, I guess.

 

[ZeroGravity]

Still not buying it. Just a quick look at Amazon and I don't think it's a coincidence that those three amiibo are the only ones that are entirely sold out. If they were selling that fast, surely at least one of the other models would be sold out too. But it's just those three.

 

[mrhej]

But Canada said!

Remember when someone at Nintendo of Canada said Rayman was playable in Smash?

They sure know a lot.

 

[LowSignal]

I knew they wouldn't stop making some of the figs all together. Time to celebrate!

 

[MercurialTurnip]

Oh thank god, I was hoping Nintendo wouldn't be that immensely stupid.

 

[Mistle]

Awesome. I bought them all, but to keep. I'm glad everyone can eventually get one. Plus, it makes me less frustrated about future wave availability, though I'll still preorder.

 

[Sakujou]

prices for the gc adapter are skyhigh these days.

its around 50-70 euros these days on ebay.

amazon even dared to cancel my smash+gc bundle. had to aquire them separately for more bucks.

 

[fhqwhgads]

Shocking News: Rumour turns out not to be true.
Seriously, so many people went crazy over nothing.

the readiness to believe retailers is troubling at best.

 

[Magnet_Man]

B-b-but what am I gonna do with these 80 Marth amiibos I just bought?? I was going to use them to retire!

 

[uncredited male]

Someone out there is a soccer mom with a minivan full of Marths who is not happy right now.

 

[quesalupa]

Thank jeezus. I need that adapter.

 

[NewGame]

Stock speaks louder than words.

WHERE ARE THE ADAPTERS NINTENDO??

 

[super-famicom]

Good to hear. Wii Fit Trainer will be mine. (I don't even own a Wii U)

 

[Josh5890]

I'm happy to hear this.

 

[gamergirly]

Cool

 

[7DollarHagane]

I want to sell my adapter for a nice profit but im worried about the charge back when they come into stock again..
