![]() ![]() ![]() Now, is Nintendo kind of at fault for doing yet another “limited availability” event? Absolutely. Let me tell you if there’s one thing both Sanrio or Nintendo don’t want, it’s one of their big events trending with the word “disappointed”. It currently says, “Animals Crossing Sanrio amiibo cards sell out in less than a minute, leaving some shoppers disappointed they missed out on snagging a set.” 10 gaming gems the Steam Deck has over the Nintendo Switch.God of War Ragnarok: New Game Plus explained.An interview with Max, a Google Bard AI, about life, the universe and video games.Here are just a few examples, showcasing why Sanrio is one of the top trending things on Twitter this morning. But getting on Twitter today shows a lot of people did not get theirs. Now, for me, I was lucky to have the cards from the previous event for New Leaf (the cards that came out today were reprints of the originals) so that’s how I was able to showcase what they give you, like in the case of Rilla’s Hello Kitty stuff and Marty’s Pompompurin stuff - so I got mine. The catch is that you need to go to Target stores to pick up the physical Amiibo cards that will allow you to unlock the event/items. Much like what happened during Animal Crossing: New Leaf‘s run, Sanrio has released content with Animal Crossing: New Horizons, bringing in special villagers, furniture and clothing based on the famous Sanrio characters. Today’s prime example was the Sanrio Animal Crossing crossover event. They don’t really seem pressed as they’re making money, though they’re no longer getting the positive press anymore. Well, at least in America where we absolutely refuse to enact the anti-scalping legislation that other countries have effectively made work for years now. Unsurprisingly, businesses have not really learned from this. Any hope of having a good press day where you can show people happily holding the thing they waited for has now been replaced by negative moments and news beats showcasing these monsters on Twitter standing before their pile of bot-assisted gains. If there is one thing that 2020-2021 has taught us about the video game market is that the garbage people who make their living off scalping in-demand items will absolutely ruin any sort of launch people are excited for. ![]() By Eric Halliday 2 years ago Follow Tweet ![]()
