Final week, we bought a sneak peek at a few of the superior merchandise obtainable solely on the Nintendo Museum. Properly, would not you realize it, after simply sooner or later of being open to the general public, the attraction has introduced that it is going to be limiting gross sales on choose gadgets (thanks, VGC).
As detailed in a put up from the official Nintendo Museum Twitter account, the Kyoto web site will now be putting in one-per-person sale limitations on its Sport {Hardware} Keychain collections, choose Hanafunda playing cards, lanyards and move instances and the sport Magnet Assortment. The identical limitations additionally apply to the controller cushions that we had been notably enamoured with final week.
You’ll find the announcement tweet and its translation (by way of Google Translate) under:

Whereas Nintendo doesn’t affirm the explanation for these new limitations, our buddies at VGC level out that the net market Mercari is already awash with costly resales. Some common gadgets, just like the outsized controller cushions, are reaching greater than double their Museum RRP, whereas smaller exclusives have popped up with equally ridiculous asking costs.
