In spite of all the fabulous news that came out of yesterday’sNintendo Direct, when it comes to amiibo, it seems like Nintendo will never learn. You can bet those pre-orders will be snatched up in the blink of an eye by scalpers, and most people will never get to see one. Nintendo did say last night during the Direct that they’d be releasing more of the coveted Marth amiibos soon, but how many more and how available they will be to the general populace remains to be seen.
If you’re after any of those exclusive amiibos…good luck to you.
