Iwata: amiibo that have become scarce/required for play will be restocked if there’s demand from customers and retailers

Following up on the amiibo stock situation, Nintendo president Satoru Iwata has weighed in on figures that may be replenished in the future.

Iwata noted during Nintendo’s financial results briefing today that it’s difficult to continue shipping all types of amiibo due to limits on production lots, delivery dates, and retail space. However, he did say figures that have quickly become scarce and are needed to play in games will be considered for more production – assuming demand exists from consumers and retailers.

Marth is one amiibo that will be restocked later this year, though it’s unclear when additional product will be made available.
