I see we're on Step 3 again.

 

[Robotguy]

Amiibo are a disease.

Yup, so glad I stopped buying those things a while ago.

 

[Zemm]

BRERA STRIKES AGAIN!

Lol, bring Brera back!

 

[VeryGooster]

Nintendo announces Yarn Yoshi Amiibo Maker.

"You want to make Mario levels? Well make your own damn Amiibo, too."

[alexbull_uk]

My Amazon UK order is still showing as being on time, for now. Hope I get my Yoshi

 

[BigMoose]

What an interesting title to wake up to

 

[pizzacat]

The criminal scum just left his name in graffiti

[SalvaPot]

Someone read R.I.P. Yarn Yoshi and took it to its extreme interpretation.

 

[shadow2810]

It's only the French who've had their Yarn Yoshi's destroyed it seems. We're ok. #TeamAmerica

Of course you can't destroy something that doesn't exist.

 

[Robiin]

Mine shipped yesterday, and I don't even really care about amiibo. I hope everyone who does has their orders sent like they should.

 

[bananafactory]

Lol man this Amiibo stuff is weird

So much drama all the time

 

[PillarEN]

mariotehplumber strikes again.

Haha. I would be amused if it was part of his performance art. Was bummed he would cool off with his absurd act but the guy is still going strong thanks to the Fire Emblem art styles

 

[wishdom]

I call bullshit.
They just want an excuse to sell them for a premium directly on eBay.
Why would stock be destroyed instead of stolen anyways?

I doubt a company would be silly enough to try this... then again, dat amiibo money

That would be the ultimate, brick and mortar stores becoming amiibo scalpers

 

[zackiel]

Rupture de stock, altough if translated litterally, means the stock got destroyed, is a french term for "out of stock".

That's all, folks.

I'm a french speaker.

It's made of wool, I can think of many reasons how it can be fucked up.

 

[KaYotiX]

He has finally snapped!

 

[ryseing]

Amiibo are a disease.

I'm so glad I've resisted the urge thus far. The last thing I need is another obsession.

The Yarn Yoshi was on the verge of breaking me though.

 

[evilromero]

I enjoyed this 4 hour long portion of the presentation.

Lol that's what it felt like. I was watching on my phone and thinking why they had to dedicate another direct to a story behind Yoshi.

 

[Ysarus]

According to that Auchan Twitter account, it will affect all French retailers. Part of Nintendo's stock really was destroyed; that's not a translation error (only the "rupture of stock" from Boulanger's email is gibberish). But I don't think any other countries are affected.

 

[Schryver]

lol. insanity

 

[Lijik]

mariotehplumber strikes again.

damn thats enough suspects for a thrilling whodunnit

 

[Labrynian Rebel]

damn thats enough suspects for a thrilling whodunnit

Turns out this is all a publicity stunt for the surprise release of an open-world Mario Detective game.

 

[spliced]

 

[Reset]

They should have destroyed every single Amiibo. Amiibos ruin everything, they're just trash that ruin games that they have compatibility with.

 

[Dunkley]

Leaked footage of the perpetrator just before the crime took place:

I went and investigated

 

[Azure Phoenix]

Please tell me this is just the special edition + game bundle, I have deposits down for the separate green and blue yarn Yoshi Amiibos.

 

[AHA-Lambda]

what does that even mean? I don't understand.

.

 

[Crayolan]

The amiibo crime spree continues. Where will they strike next?

 

[MrBadger]

damn thats enough suspects for a thrilling whodunnit

I want a game about this.

My money's on the Yarny guy. He was way too timid and genuine for someone at EA. Something's up.

 

[CNCOMICS]

First the Splatoon Squid amiibo were stolen and now the Yarn Yoshi amiibo are destroyed; what's next Europe, the Chibi-Robo amiibo?

 

[Fusebox]

But... my preorders!!

[Shpeshal Nick]

Hopefully the Australian stock arrived before this happened.

 

[meppi]

Lol, bring Brera back!

Fuck that!

 

[Drelkag]

This is even funnier now

She made them all by hand.

 

[The Abominable Snowman]

LMFAO... Are people uprising against Nintendo or something?

 

[KratosEnergyDrink]

Ultra-mega-hyperbole.

They ruin nothing and give only little extras in all games.

Yes, I always wanted micro transactions or physical "DLC" that's hard to find in almost every first party Nintendo game. /s

[T0KY0ST0MP]

Obviously they produced too many and are correcting this error.

 

[NewGame]

I bet some survived.


And they will be known as the Amiibos that break eBay.

 

[Mistle]

EB Games and JBHIFI in Australia have removed the blue one from their sites. Hopefully just because they're sold out and not destroyed D: haha

I have a blue preorder.

 

[SoulUnison]

Does anyone have eyes on Chris-chan?

Are Yoshi's arms the right color?

 

[Miroku129]

Fuck this world...

 

[InfiniteCombo]

I don't understand.

Please understand.

Spoiler

/s

What is going on here? Did someone like, intentionally destroy them? And why Yoshi? :-(

 

[Azure Dream]

Could it be a manufacturing defect local to the region? Maybe something Nintendo realized could go bad really fast and took the axe to it, like a certain supply of yarn being used?

 

[shuraiya]

Why couldn't they have destroyed all those Mario, Luigi, Peach and Zelda amiibo instead. Would even have the added benefit of freeing up space for newer ones.

 

[Killua]

This is even funnier now

Has it been pointed out that Yoshi is humping Donkey Kong Jr in the background?
