Nintendo to Produce Extra amiibo for Japan

Nintendo have been producing additional amiibo figures for release in Japan, the company confirmed this week.

Company president Satoru Iwata did acknowledge the shortages, particularly in the Western market, to investors last month. It seems that the company will be ramping up production for various favourites - including Villager, Little Mac and Captain falcon - to ship mid-May in Japan.

Interestingly some of these figures need to be assembled by hand, which adds a fair bit of time to the production cycle for the much sought after NFC characters.

As for other figures, Nintendo will be "adding production on a case-by-case basis," and have pledged to "listen to the demand of the customers."
