Nintendo Enforcing New Amiibo Policies

Google+ Pinterest LinkedIn Tumblr +

While a tad late for many, Nintendo is seemingly taking steps to cut back on the growing problem of Amiibo scalpers. With many of the Amiibo models selling out in minutes, making their resale value high, many consumers have found themselves turning to third-party vendors to complete their collection.

With the next wave of Amiibos releasing in the next few days, Nintendo is finally announcing a new one item per customer policy that is sure to cut back on the bulk buying patterns of online scalpers. Each customer is also being limited to only two characters.

A leaked image of a Nintendo memo can be seen below.

  • You say probably this is for the US too, but if you get your information from that memo you can clearly see that the memo is for US. (Store exclusive amiibo, three pack Splatoon amiibo, water gun gift)
