Nintendo of Japan has just tweeted out that there is indeed an amiibo card shortage, apologizing, and confirming a new shipment next week
任天堂株式会社
昨日発売しました『どうぶつの森amiiboカード 第1弾』が店頭で品薄になっており、ご迷惑をお掛けしております。来週も追加出荷を行う予定ですので、もう少々お待ちください。
Loosely translates to:
"Yesterday we launched Animal Crossing amiibo cards Series 1, which have become scarce in stores, and we apologize. We are sending out a new shipment next week, so please wait a little longer."
Honestly, I never thought the amiibo cards would have seen a stock issue, since they seem to be a lot easier to produce than amiibo cards, I know this was mentioned by AmiAmi, but I thought that was just an issue with their stock, and not the actual stock of Japan, or whatever.
It'll be interesting to see if the next shipment is a permanent fix, or a temporary one - and hopefully it will help them get a better understanding of production numbers so that there's no shortage when they're released outside of Japan. Really hoping that is the case, because I know I'm not in the mood for another stock shortage.
