Its not DLC practice, as of now its about collecting your favorite figurines. Amiibo collectors are getting amiibos for Collection purposes than game content. Yes Majority of them.

As long as I can get all three Yarn Yoshis at MSRP then I'll be happy

Cool but plesse restock them harder darn u

Just now realizing this months after the fact? Should already be selling them online.

It's good to see Nintendo doing better, though they won't be able to bank on this for very long. As soon as the hype is over the income will dry up aswell.

"Although, if you search around, you can still find some of the more hard-to-find Amiibo sitting on shelves."

Yuuuuuuuup. Only now you might not be able to purchase said DLC even if you wanted, depending on the DLC content in question. That's the Nintendo Difference.™

Anyway, to answer the OP's question "we hope to do better" does not exactly comfort when coming from the company that has promised to learn its lesson re: software droughts, third-parties, etc. multiple times in the past few years.

I dont give a shit what they do for a game. I just like the figures

Just got my Wario and Pac-Man ones today

I bet Sony will try make toys next :/
