Nintendo: We ‘are already making plans to bring back’ out-of-stock Amiibo

Nintendo is finally coming out and talking about its Amiibo problem, and it wants you to know that it’s working on increasing the supply to better match the demand.

Amiibos are Nintendo’s interactive toys based on characters like Mario, Link, and Pikachu. Fans have gone nuts for these figures since they debuted late last year, which has caused many of the Amiibo characters to sell out at stores. In some cases, if you don’t get in line at a retail location like GameStop to preorder, you’ll have no chance of securing certain characters without going through secondary channels like eBay — and paying inflated prices. Now, Nintendo is acknowledging the problem, and it says it will work to make things easier for its fans.
