Amiibo, Where Did You Go?
Skylanders by itself sells like free ice cream sprinkled with crack. Disney Infinity is like that, but with a little less crack. Someone was gonna have to get in on Activision and Disney’s pie sooner or later, and who better than Nintendo? Amiibos have taken the world by storm, particulalry with people who’ve grown up on the Big N. The only problem is that some of them have been discontinued, with Nintendo’s only assurance being that “certain sold-out ones may return at a later date” and that they had plans for Amiibo cards to replace unavailable figurines. People are justifiably upset, and having this happen so close to Christmas isn’t helping matters at all. One has to wonder why Nintendo bothered releasing the things at all when they were in short supply and don’t seem to have a full game plan for compensating for those no longer available.
