backwards isn't racist

We're also talking about a heavily bureaucratic system. Like all this poo poo that everyone is complaining about with amiibos has already been solved by other companies like Takara and Tomy who give the licences out to toher companies to make more product and to have a list of resellers who can supply it to customers.

This poo poo only gets pulled by the Otaku-centric goods which is pretty much what amiibos fall under. They're nerd statues for nerds and Nintendo is treating them the same as majority of other japanese businesses would. Like all that limited edition vocaloid poo poo, it's the exact same thing and pain in the rear end to deal with.

They're running on an extremely conservative 18th century banking system, this is not a joke or an exaggeration. This is the reality of how the place functions.


If only they had an extremely mature banking system like ours, in which powerful people can make billions of dollars by conspiring to destroy the entire world economy and face literally no punishment for it.

The limited collector's mentality of amiibos has existed in Japan for decades, they just tried to apply it to other countries where this poo poo really doesn't happen anymore. I'm glad that I thoroughly do not give a poo poo about them.


You are as mad about Amiibos as people in Israel and Palestine are about their dead relatives. What does it look like when you actually give a poo poo about something?

Dude you posted that giant rant that game dev's bitter ex posted on the forums after the mods deleted the thread and insisted everyone take notice and discuss this very serious issue of abuse and corruption. You're the worst.

As usual with these sorts of threads, once he got the ball rolling, people crawled out of their FYAD holes to join in on the bad posting, making it really difficult to ignore.

Sure, I won't buy Nintendo's stupid toys but buy some other stupid toys because I'm a big dumb babby who bases his spending habits on what someone on the Internet said. I would buy that Megatron unironically and proudly display it next to my original Picasso as it should be classed as high art.

Those 20 somethings beat up said children so they can buy the amiibos first.

In that case fair enough. If there's something collectible, you know manchildren will jump on it. It's just that with amiibos they're not the only ones that want them.

Nintendo sent out a letter explaining that amiibos of your favorite character shall be remade for every series/game release that they appear in and that each amiibo series line will be completely independent from each with their own numbering system.

You can also feel free to purchase the World of Nintendo figures from Jax Pacific which also feature almost all of your favorite characters





They're not understanding the whole supply/demand thing still
