Update: Confirmed – Target apparently not restocking Rosalina amiibo, won’t have some wave 3 figures in store

Update (2/2) Destructoid appears to have confirmed this news. Check out the following:
A Target employee has confirmed the authenticity of this document, an internal newsletter called “The Vibe in Electronics.” They state that running out of stock and not getting more shipments for a Target exclusive item is common. They also cement the fact that Sheik may be rare as there haven’t been many shipments coming in at all, but Toon Link is in fact common.
If you’re living in the U.S. and have interest in the Rosalina amiibo, you may want to try finding product sooner rather than later. An internal memo from Target indicates that the figure will not be restocked. As many of you know, Target is the only retailer selling the Rosalina amiibo in the United States.
There are some other interesting points from the memo as well. For instance, Target will apparently not stock the Mega Man, Sonic, King Dedede, and Ike amiibo in store. Consumers will instead be directed to order from the retailer’s website.

Masahiro Sakurai published a new “Smash Bros. Diaries” entry in the latest issue of Game Informer. In one question, Sakurai is asked if he considered allowing the fighter unlocks in the 3DS version to transfer over to the Wii U version.
Sakurai starts out by giving a simple “no”, but then elaborates further. He mentions that unlocking characters in these new games are easier than in previous titles, and he understands that players look forward to the “Challenger Approaching!” segments.
One noteworthy comment shared by Sakurai is that, at one point, he “considered just opening up all the fighters from the start on the Wii U”. However, unlocks were left in for the fans who enjoy the “Challenge Approaching!” aspects.
