Amazon’s position on selling Nintendo hardware in the US has been well-documented. It boils down to the fact that the retailer wasn’t selling the 3DS and wasn’t offering the 3DS XL for a long while either. Amazon’s US division also has nothing to do with the sale of Wii U hardware.

Unsurprisingly, Nintendo of America Reggie Fils-Aime isn’t willing to discuss the relationship between the two companies.

He only told Kotaku the following:

“We don’t talk about our specific business practices with individual retailers, and so you’re not going to get any more information from me specific to Amazon or any of our different retail partners. What I can tell you is they are selling software, and [there] are resellers that are on the site selling hardware as well, but you’re right: Amazon as a direct sale company currently does not sell Nintendo hardware.”

Reggie was pressed further, and was asked if there are plans to change the situation. Again though, he wouldn’t comment.

Amazon was additionally asked for some perspective on the situation, but thus far the company hasn’t replied.
