We all know just how quickly certain amiibo figures fly off store shelves and Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime says that the company is aware of the situation and is working extremely hard to fulfil orders. However, he says that demand currently outpaces supply and that they would need to triple amiibo production to fulfil consumer demand for the popular Toys to Life series.

“We’re at a point where we have to take our volume estimates and double them or triple them based on the levels of demand we’re seeing. We’re working very hard to meet that demand.”

Fils-Aime said Nintendo has been working with its suppliers to “push the envelope” for production schedules in an effort to catch up, but “the consumer demand continues to outpace supply.”
