Somebody should ask about the GC adapters.

I liked your old thread better, made sense.But back to the subject this is great now i wonder what happened to the GC adapters?

The Harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. When the going gets tough, the tough gets going.

I'm currently playing Resident Evil 4 Remake & Manhunt

The rumor didn't even make sense, and yet people still believed it? Wow

Awesome news!!! I'm glad the rumor turned out to be false. I feel now that I can safely open the packaging that contains my Wii Fit Trainer amiibo!!!

That information is a little old

People keep saying the Xbox One doesn't have Backwards Compatibility.
I don't think they know what Backwards Compatibility means...

Technically yes and no. What I posted was actually posted 45 minutes ago. Yes the information IS old because Nintendo said from the start, not all figures will be restocked, and to get the ones you want right away. This still stands today.

Yes but the information is out dated compared to what the OP posted.

Did you not hear me? That response was received 45min ago from Kotaku who got it directly from Nintendo PR. Also no offense but that's a reply from Twitter. We've had several messages from Nintendo through Twitter that where contradictory like Bayonetta 2 and the bonus. Also it sounds to me like he's saying the same thing but not actually saying there won't be a second shipment just so people don't go freaking out and start buying amiibos to sell them on ebay or something.

Also Wave 2 is coming out soon. They need to make room. All of the places I've been to there's hardly even room for the figures they already have. I see a bunch of Mario, Peach, Link, Kirby and DK.

That is much more clear. I didn't go to the source in the link you posted cause it appeared to be the same old information I had already heard. Your link was also to some Fan Nintendo site that will post anything as news, so I didn't give it much credibility.

Sorry I should have been clearer myself. I linked to GoNintendo, which posted a quote from Kotaku from a response they got from Nintendo PR. It didn't mention on there where it was from but they linked the source on the bottom. Sorry for everyone who got confused, and wrote this for anyone else as well.

Weird. Marth just went on stock on Amazon (for a few minutes I guess until it sold out again).

I decided to buy one but it decided to charge me for the 2 day shipping even though I have prime. I wrote them trying to fix that, although I guess at $22 it's still a good price, but I don't want to pay more than $12.99 for any amiibo. Not even a cent more.

Yeah, Nintendo had already stated that they wouldn't restock some amiibo after a while. The problem with this rumor was that a few amiibo were discontinued way too soon.

I'm not even sure "discontinued" is the right term here. "Limited run" is a better term since there was only a limited shipment. "Discontinued" gives the negative connotation

Yeah that's what's going on here. So anyone still expecting Nintendo to pump out more Marths are going to be hurt. There just isn't space and those figures where already kinda rare to begin with. I think I only ever saw one Marth and Wii Fit Trainer, at my Target.. and I work there.
