Hunting for the Little Mac amiibo? GeekParty says you probably won't find him at GameStop.
A new list goes over eight of the the most useless amiibo, ranging from the Shadow Mewtwo card to the Qbby figure.
Joker, Banjo and Kazooie, and Terry amiibo restock for Super Smash Bros. on the way with pre-orders now open.
"It would be great if people had to buy more of the thing," says guy who makes money selling the thing.
If they did then collectors wouldn’t be getting f***** over with discless collectors editions
No shock, GameStop is alive because of trading. If they don't have used games on their shelves they are absolutely donezo.
Well of course the GS boss thinks this... that's their bread and butter business. That and funco pops and clothing, though those two were added as a means to supplement the decline in people buying used games or even new games. GS just sucks overall when it comes to gaming. I buy my physical stuff on Amazon or Best Buy.
As for "requiring" disc drives... nah. Not anymore, but i like having them as an option. They had a means back when games actually ran off the discs and were more/less complete. Now they are incomplete and the disc is really an installer with a license to play. If you want to change games you have to take out the disc and put in another. Its more convenient to just use digital. I have been into digital for years now and when the PSPortal comes along i wont even have to go into my game room. I will just play my PS5 from my couch downstairs. I have a bunch of digital installed games to my 5... I'm all set.
Holy geez, it's been frustrating trying to get these things. First it was Marth and Villager, now it's Little Mac. I'm not looking forward to the store exclusives nightmare we're sure to see with Wave 3.
Disgusting practice. Shameful on Nintendo's part. I've only seen two of these at one store - bought one and have never seen it since. I've confirmed that some stores never even get shipments of certain characters. For instance, only certain Gamestops in my area received Pitt - the closest one was 35 miles away - for one Amiibo, forget it. This is being done on purpose to create a false demand for these things. I can't understand it since Nintendo misses out on would-be sales.
Why isn't Nintendo making more Amiibos? They're basically giving money to scalpers.
The scalpers are having a field day with these! Unfortunately nintendo are pissing off more people than they are pleasing.
Overall this was handled VERY poorly! Now things are going to even worse with the retailer exclusives (a VERY stupid move on Nintendo's part).
I want Mega Man, Pitt, Link, Samus, and Little Mac.
I don't even have a WiiU, I just want them to place on my nerd shelf.
