Campaign to tell Nintendo we do not want randomized bags for Animal Crossing amiibo

[timecapsule]

I think there should be randoms. It just makes it a lot more exciting to see if you got Freckles or Mac. And potentially more annoying, I guess.

 

[Kitsuragi]

lmao a mods probably gonna see this and close it
but honestly, just talking posting something on twitter probably isnt gonna do much. like someone mentioned earlier, unless a nicely written petition is formed and given to nintendo, they probably wont change their mind.
besides, trying out new villagers isnt always a bad thing. you might find a new villager you like with randomization

 

[Hypno KK]

Are you trying to say that you'd like Nintendo to sell individual cards? That doesn't make much sense and it's hardly worth it. That might actually make the cards more expensive since each one would have to be packaged individually. If that's what you really want, you can simply buy them on ebay where people will probably sell individual ones.

If we're talking about the cards being in packs that are set, so we know which ones we'll get, that sounds like a good idea to me. I'd like that a lot better than random bags. It would be more convenient since people who want repeats can get repeats and those of us who don't can have single cards, plus they'd still be in packs so we'd still be paying for the amount of cards in a pack even if we mostly only want one of them. I don't have a twitter so I can't do that.

I don't think that it's entitled for people to tell companies what they'd like from the things they're paying for (unless they're really ridiculous requests). It benefits both sides and people are always free to express whether they like or dislike a product.

Well I don't mind. They could sell them by set bags of species. I just don't want random bags.

 

[DarkOnyx]

I like randomized card packs. *shrugs*

Well I don't mind. They could sell them by set bags of species. I just don't want random bags.

They will most likely be random though

 

[spCrossing]

this thread is sure going places now

I'm scared, mommy.

They're arguing over a children's card game.

 

[Reindeer]

They will most likely be random though

That's still speculation, though.

There's so much whining when Nintendo hasn't even said the slightest thing about how they're going to distribute these cards. Whether they'll be random or in set packs, we don't know, yet people are already creating ****ing petitions for this?! And then you complain when you get called entitled and whiny.
We got like a minute-long presentation, two minutes at most, with the bare minimum of information possible, and yet people are already collectively losing their **** over it and trying to change the still-unknown distribution method.

In the end you're just gonna have to put up with what Nintendo decides. Either you'll get random cards, or you'll get set packs in which you'll have villagers you despise. You're gonna get annoyed anyway.

I've been watching this argument as its progressed, and I just can't stand seeing it anymore without saying something. Why is it that you guys, especially LambdaDelta and pillow bunny, have to attack somebody for having a different opinion/idea and then downright insult them just because you disagree with their opinion/idea? NouvelleOrange only suggested that others work together to try and campaign Nintendo into not having the Animal Crossing amiibo cards be randomized. Why is that such a terrible idea? I'll admit that there is a low chance of it actually working, but why is it so bad to try? It doesn't hurt for you to try and change things that way. At the very least, some people from Nintendo (like Bill Trinen) might be able to acknowledge the fact that fans want the cards to be set and not random. Why is it that you're so against the idea to the point of insulting others? We're having a discussion about cards. Why does there have to be a huge argument just because some people cannot accept others' opinions? We all know that most cards are sold randomized, like Pokemon or Yu-Gi-Oh! cards, but is it so bad that people talk about wanting it to be set instead? I'm sure these cards will be randomized, like practically all other TCGs, but why can't NouvelleOrange state that she wants them to be set and then try to get people to work together to make that happen? Why can't people express the idea of having these cards be distributed differently compared to other cards? Sure, it would be more exciting to open a pack of Animal Crossing cards and see who you get randomly, but for collectors, it would be a huge pain to collect them all with randomization. I would collect them all, not because of their use in Happy Home Designer, but because they're cards of my favorite video game franchise. I'm sure many others would like to do the same, and if these cards were randomized, it would cost a lot for people like me to collect them all, even with eBay and trades. If they were set and you wanted 10 cards of Goose, go buy the pack with Goose cards. It's as simple as that. Actually, that would be simpler than if they were randomized because you'll know that you'll be getting Goose in each of those packs.

We don't need these cards, but people like me would absolutely love to have them all, especially if you devote so much time to Animal Crossing and love the series. It's just like how you don't need things such as your 3DS; you just wanted it and then bought it.

Have Animal Crossing fans always been this whiny and entitled or did I accidentally get on a general anime discussion forum?

I'd like to ask how this is a display of Animal Crossing fans being whiny? Is it just because some people are asking for sets and not randomization, and you just don't agree with it? I understand how these are trading cards and are meant to be traded with others, but what about people who don't have anybody to trade with? If you don't have anybody in real life, then, sure, you could go online, but you'd have to be very careful with who you give your house address to. eBay is impractical, as there would be bidding for different cards, shipping, etc. In my opinion, i'd much rather buy a box with a whole set of Animal Crossing cards and be done than have to go hunting for the cards I need to complete my collection. It's already enough that we need to hunt for the amiibo figures we want; we don't need the same thing but for cards. I'd claim that you guys are being "whiny" by constantly bashing someone's ideas and attacking others for having an opinion that differs from yours. It's fine if you disagree with someone and state why, but it crosses the line when you constantly bash and insult others because you don't agree with them.

Overall, it is too early to tell whether or not Nintendo is going to make them random or not (we got very little info from the Nintendo Direct about these cards), even though it most likely will be random based on how most other TCGs are, but it's not like it's a bad thing for people to talk about wanting it to be set already. This is an Animal Crossing website where people are meant to discuss things related to Animal Crossing/video games and trade in Animal Crossing, after all. Even though we got very little information, it doesn't mean we can't talk about what we did get or talk about any predictions/hopes.

Now is the time to let Bill Trinen, head of the marketing departement at NoA, know what we'd like because they are most likely taking the decisions as we speak. Better early than late. Why do you think the guy has Twitter? To communicate with fans. And you know what ? He reads what people tweet him, and he often answers back. So tweet @trintran that there is more advantages for Nintendo to consider marketing their AC amiibo in a more contemporary manner than the random pouch of the 1980s. With the Internet, there are other, more convenient and less costly ways to do so. Communication is best and we ought to use the tools to do so

Edit : This is no petition. This thread is for people to acknowledge that we can individually express our opinion in a civilized manner so that we are collectively heard. I don't know any better solution than Twitter to speak directly to Bill Trinen.

I'm not here to debate or get advices. I'm here to tell AC fans that do not want random pouches to tell Nintendo right away by tweeting @trintran. Do it now! If someone disagrees, It's just noise, it's nothing that retains my attention. I tweeted him once. It's already done. If you think like I do, please do the same

yes, create a petition for something we're not 100% certain on, cause online petitions work so well. /sarcasm

i understand peoples feelings on this, but you should at least wait until we know how they'll be distributed beofre doing something like this? besides, online petitions never work anyway; remember the left 4 dead 2 petition, and how that worked so well? oh, wait everyone complaining bought the game anyway.

regardless how nintendo decieds to sell them (either individually or in random bags) there'll be an alternative to getting the cards you want thanx to the interwebz (ebay, amazon, etc.) so as long as theres an alternative it shouldnt matter how its done.

But what if some people like it randomized? Tweet Bill anyways? .-.

yeah that's not going to happen though like this is going to do nothing

 

[Togekid]

In my opinion, it would be more fun to buy these cards in randomized packs, because when you get a villager you want, you feel satisfaction. It takes 100% of the fun out of the game if you just "buy singular cards." I mean, come on. Is this game ALL about your favourite villagers? No. It's about interior design.

 

[modomo]

I agree, I'd like to know what I'm buying! It always stinks when you end up with a bunch of cards you don't want when you buy a pack of trading cards. And I feel like popular characters like Meringue will cost too much on ebay and such because of the popularity. Someone might end up having to pay a ton of money for the card they want threw either of these methods :c

 

[Jake]

Honestly, I don't care.
Nintendo will do what they want, a petition want change this.

Not to mention randomized would be 100x easier for them so..

 

[LambdaDelta]

I've been watching this argument as its progressed, and I just can't stand seeing it anymore without saying something. Why is it that you guys, especially LambdaDelta and pillow bunny, have to attack somebody for having a different opinion/idea and then downright insult them just because you disagree with their opinion/idea?

I was going to say that I wasn't attacking anybody, but then I remembered I'm on the community where a good portion of members takes any form of opposition to their views as a personal attack.

NouvelleOrange only suggested that others work together to try and campaign Nintendo into not having the Animal Crossing amiibo cards be randomized. Why is that such a terrible idea?

The fact that it fails to comprehend basic business logic, especially in how this stuff has been done before? and that's not even going into the people that are failing even harder with wanting every card released individually

I'll admit that there is a low chance of it actually working, but why is it so bad to try? It doesn't hurt for you to try and change things that way. At the very least, some people from Nintendo (like Bill Trinen) might be able to acknowledge the fact that fans want the cards to be set and not random.

If by "low chance" you mean "impossible", sure. As I mentioned earlier, this is simply a case of a vocal minority.

Why is it that you're so against the idea to the point of insulting others? We're having a discussion about cards. Why does there have to be a huge argument just because some people cannot accept others' opinions?

Accepting and agreeing are different things.

We all know that most cards are sold randomized, like Pokemon or Yu-Gi-Oh! cards, but is it so bad that people talk about wanting it to be set instead? I'm sure these cards will be randomized, like practically all other TCGs, but why can't NouvelleOrange state that she wants them to be set and then try to get people to work together to make that happen? Why can't people express the idea of having these cards be distributed differently compared to other cards?

Why can't I express my idea that this is a terrible idea?

Sure, it would be more exciting to open a pack of Animal Crossing cards and see who you get randomly, but for collectors, it would be a huge pain to collect them all with randomization. I would collect them all, not because of their use in Happy Home Designer, but because they're cards of my favorite video game franchise.

Collecting predetermined sets is like collecting playing cards.

Actually its even less satisfactory, since at least playing cards can have different designs.

Also, its exactly why they'll most likely be randomized. Plus if it wasn't, it could very easily have the same amiibo shortage problems, due to Nintendo only printing so many and then stopping (because why would you buy 2+ sets of the same cards?). At least booster packs would force them to keep production going for a bit.

I'm sure many others would like to do the same, and if these cards were randomized, it would cost a lot for people like me to collect them all, even with eBay and trades.

Gee, look at that entitlement.

If they were set and you wanted 10 cards of Goose, go buy the pack with Goose cards. It's as simple as that. Actually, that would be simpler than if they were randomized because you'll know that you'll be getting Goose in each of those packs.

I'm genuinely not sure if you've never bothered with other TCGs before, or if you're just being a smartass.

We don't need these cards, but people like me would absolutely love to have them all, especially if you devote so much time to Animal Crossing and love the series. It's just like how you don't need things such as your 3DS; you just wanted it and then bought it.

ENTITLEMENT

I'd like to ask how this is a display of Animal Crossing fans being whiny? Is it just because some people are asking for sets and not randomization, and you just don't agree with it?

I'd like to ask....

I understand how these are trading cards and are meant to be traded with others, but what about people who don't have anybody to trade with? If you don't have anybody in real life, then, sure, you could go online, but you'd have to be very careful with who you give your house address to. eBay is impractical, as there would be bidding for different cards, shipping, etc.

Can you figure out how this is being whiny and entitled?

In my opinion, i'd much rather buy a box with a whole set of Animal Crossing cards and be done than have to go hunting for the cards I need to complete my collection. It's already enough that we need to hunt for the amiibo figures we want; we don't need the same thing but for cards.

Good thing booster boxes exist then! Also figures and cards are not comparable, and the only reason the figures are such a pain to get right now is because of how ****ed over the supply has constantly been. Really, the situation should be reversed. Figures should be easier to get most all of, cards should take a bit more effort.

I'd claim that you guys are being "whiny" by constantly bashing someone's ideas and attacking others for having an opinion that differs from yours. It's fine if you disagree with someone and state why, but it crosses the line when you constantly bash and insult others because you don't agree with them.

I've stated why plenty of times. Do you just cherry pick what to read?

Overall, it is too early to tell whether or not Nintendo is going to make them random or not (we got very little info from the Nintendo Direct about these cards), even though it most likely will be random based on how most other TCGs are

The most logical part of this post.

but it's not like it's a bad thing for people to talk about wanting it to be set already. This is an Animal Crossing website where people are meant to discuss things related to Animal Crossing/video games and trade in Animal Crossing, after all. Even though we got very little information, it doesn't mean we can't talk about what we did get or talk about any predictions/hopes.

Never said there was. I'm saying its both a waste to do and would be a poor business move, and honestly this isn't talking about hopes. If it was, then this would just be a thread to discuss possible release models. Which we already have one of those.



ps, learn to not make your posts ****ing bricks

it will be rarity+popularity

and I pretty much guarantee you the rarest and most valuable cards will be special NPCs, and not SUPER ULTRA KAWAII DREAMIE VILLAGER!!1!!1!!1!!11! they'll be the ones that are generally dirt cheap

 

[spCrossing]

You see this is why Animal Crossing Wii U needs to exists, so we won't go arguing over a stupid spin-off.

Oh wait...that will only increase the arguments by the people who complain about not having a Wii U and people won't buy the game anyway and say that it's better on handhe-You know this isn't working.
