amiibo

[sebbbbe]

Von dieser Kartengeschichte als Ersatz für seltene Figuren lese ich zum ersten Mal. Haben die irgendeine Quelle angegeben?

Hier das genaue Zitat von Miyamoto von Dezember 2014:

We’re not making promises for certain figures, but the way “amiibo” is designed is that certain games can have “amiibo” specifically for that game. Other games can take advantage of past “amiibo” that developers want to make their game compatible with. In the future, we have the option, if certain “amiibo” figures are no longer available in stores, to release an “amiibo” in card form with the same functionality.”

Eine Quelle von vielen

Miyamoto sagt lediglich, dass die Möglichkeit dazu bestünde. Seitdem hat sich auch einiges wieder getan und ein Sprecher von Nintendo UK sagte erst vor wenigen Tagen, dass sie vom Ansturm auf die amiibos komplett überrascht und überfordert sind. Außerdem wurden Restocks versprochen:

“Right from the outset we hoped that Amiibo would be strong, but even our expectations have been smashed,” said James Honeywell, head of consumer marketing at Nintendo UK. “With a unique line-up of iconic characters that are loved by so many people, it really has been unprecedented.

“We hope to do a better job of satisfying these needs in the future with more stock, and, while there are always going to be some times when we can’t on certain characters, I suspect that is also part of the appeal.

“What we hadn’t anticipated was the number of collectors wanting to get them all – this has seen demand exceed supply in some areas. Although, if you search around, you can still find some of the more hard-to-find Amiibo sitting on shelves.”
