Amiibo

The hunt continues as everyone’s favorite singing Pokémon, Jigglypuff, will be made a Target exclusive, according to the listing on their site.

I think it’s safe to say that when it comes to amiibo, consumers want to be able to walk into their preferred retailer to pick up their desired figure instead of being forced to go to one that may or may not be within the area of someone looking to pick one up.

We’ve seen disastrous turnouts in the US with the amiibo that have been made exclusive so far — Rosalina at Target (who wouldn’t be restocked after their initial shipment), Shulk at Gamestop, Lucario at Toys R Us, and Meta Knight at Best Buy (I’m not even sure if he ever came out) — and more people end up upset than pleased.

Now with the port strike seemingly resolved, it’s certainly possible that Jigglypuff will probably be the easiest exclusive to get your hands on out of all the ones announced (including Ness which will be a Gamestop exclusive when he releases with Wave 4 on May 29th). Let’s just hope that this time around Nintendo gives a sufficient amount for Targets around the US.

Nintendo promised that the Super Mario line of amiibo would be provided in abundance, and this is certainly true (sans Toad), so we can try to be optimistic about Jigglypuff’s supply. It also helps that Jigglypuff is a Pokémon, which increases her chance of being readily available, even if you are forced to go exclusively to a retailer you may or may not agree with.

Do you plan on picking up Jigglypuff when the amiibo releases? Let us know in the comments below!
