@SecareRubrum @CapcomUSA_ Sounds more like a Nintendo issue rather than CAPCOM's one. I mean when Rivals of Aether released, it's audience and even it's creators had this same issue when they didn't know at what time it was gonna be playable.

@Target @sanrio @NintendoAmerica Y’all better be having a restock or selling it in stores to make the cards with all the issue that happened on the app/website..

I find the whole #Sanrioacnh thing stupid. This year new reprints of amiibos sold out, often to end up being scalped. Looks like Nintendo doesn't care to fix it by changing to some kind of digital system. Hence a huge market for handmade coins/cards on ebay, etsy, amazon.

@Laboytv @Target @NintendoAmerica That's awesome. I hate how they are exclusive to one store that has so much trouble keeping stock.

@AbdallahNATION Nintendo needs to fix this. It’s called a DLC.

@Alexand96802053 I don't think it's an issue in any way. If that were a problem then any company not exposing their complete release schedule would be anti-consumer. Even up to Nintendo not letting you know every game they plan to release in the next 10 years. It'd be the same argument.

1/2 I have to admit, I´ve only played Final Fantasy 7 for no more than an hour back 1997 on my brother´s Playstation, I had only Nintendo & Sega back then, now I get it to rent for "free" (it´s included in subscription fee to PlayStation Plus Online Service).

@appifanie My *guess* is that this is more of a Nintendo issue than a target issue. They have a habit of creating false scarcity by not producing enough for demand/distributing slowly.

Pretty much everyone on my timeline is having trouble getting the AC Sanrio cards. Nintendo had to know they'd be this popular, right? Why not actually print to the demand?

@ACWorldBlog Unfortunately, this wouldn’t have been an issue if Nintendo just released enough for everyone. I made sure they all would have sold.

@Sconlon014 @lovistbuonocore @Epzilon_ why do we gotta pay for online for a horrible experience man. adding older games isn’t gonna help that much just fix the servers and the whole service all together. nintendo is like dealing with old heads

@sakurabaibai I'm glad I'm not alone! I looked into it & it seems like a lot of people are experiencing it after a recent firmware update? either way, I hope nintendo will fix it soon ;-;

Hot take: I don't think retail exclusives are worth it for Amiibo releases. And if the Sanrio ordering issues through @Target weren't indication enough, I feel like @NintendoAmerica could do better. In some ideal world, NOA could do preorders directly through their website (1/2)

@AlesiaSmith90 @NintendoAmerica @Target it was an issue with their website. had to keep pressing place order over and over again.

Everyone saying it’s a target issue honestly it’s not it’s a nintendo issue bc they do this artificial scarcity **** and give stores such small amounts but random amounts like one will have 13 and another will have 4 and another will have 70, and then the poor overworked—

Look both GamePass & PSNow are decent alternative ways to BC in one service, but that should NEVER replace true BC, especially as these companies will take out these games from their service. It's the same with Nintendo Switch Online, but worse.

@NintendoAmerica @Target my amiibo card order was in processing, just for 20mins later to say "item not available" and the customer service lady at my nearest target said we secured it if it said processing. Target get your crap together.

I was trying to order the #AnimalCrossing Sanrio Amiibo cards from @Target on the app but it literally said they went out of stock while they were in my cart Why can't Nintendo just make more of a product they know will be in high demand? Scalpers are always a problem man

@RedBardIsCool The worst problem is that Nintendo knows it's a problem but allows it anyway because it must benefit them in one way or another.

@moncalamusings @NintendoAmerica @Target yuuppppp. Been trying since 9am on the nose. Nothing but error messages, even though it shows in-stock.

@xBlackRabbit18x I have no idea how many my store got, but honestly, it was a huge mess. To be fair, scalpers/bots will always be a problem, but if Nintendo just produced an adequate amount of stock for these products anyway, we wouldn't have this 'artificial scarcity' problem.

@Loretta_Snape @NintendoAmerica @animalcrossing I just kept clicking "checkout" even after it gave me the error that they weren't in stock in my store... for like ten minutes. It finally went through, but I might've just gotten lucky. Hopefully they'll reprint them in a higher quantity so we can all have them!

@LordPineapple18 Ah. I wonder what caused that to happen? Perhaps an issue with the US nintendo servers?

Hey @Target and @NintendoAmerica those @Sanrio amiibos are online pick up only, huh? Sucks that I spent an hour getting past site errors just to have them removed from my cart and have my local Target’s customer service tell me the items were “in store only” according to “policy”

@Target @Nintendo great event, idiots. Don't know why I bothered trying. Yall should have just stocked them like regular trading cards so people could buy no problem. #artificialscarcity

@Target @NintendoAmerica If you are going to do an exclusive amiibo release, make numbers for the fanbase. And recognize that not everyone has a Target close to them. This is a major equity issue in your launch. Also, employees giving out cards before launch time is messed up js.

I feel like the issue isn’t the concept of anime swordfighters, it’s the addition of ones which are either really uninteresting (in either moveset, personality, or both) or are literally just there because they’re the obligatory “they represent the new game” Nintendo characters

@czargoyle It was a very limited stock at every store (that's my "**** nintendo" attitude like... Just ******* make more??) So I get it but also fix your **** so it does say "in stock" still an hour and a half later when it's actually sold out
