Just gotta get a Ness and then I never have to worry abouy Amiibos ever again. I managed to get a Rosalina at Target, so how hard can it be to get a Ness which, so far, seems like it won't be a store exclusive?
@Quorthon Perhaps, but a company that has been in the U.S. market since 1985 is more likely than not, going to learn from mistakes. And second, they've done this before whenever they enter a new market. When the NES was first sold, it was hard to get at first; their first hand in the U.S. market. When the Wii was first sold, it was hard to get at first; their first hand in trying out new tech that would not be a novelty, but rather the focus. Amiibos are their first hand at the interactive toy market. They've probably been struggling with basic demand on purpose because it's worked out for them so well in the past. Think of the Wii's enormous success despite the Wii being unavailable to most for a year after its launch.
So I firmly believe that if they are delaying, they are delaying to meet demand.
To those complaining about the delay. Don't you see how this is a good thing? You do realize this is probably to meet demand, right? According to FYE, a store taking in-store pre orders, wave 4 is being delayed until June. Nintendo is attempting to meet demand and y'all complaining? Jeez. Complain when they're out and complain when they try to make enough for everyone...
