Nintendo of America confirmed this week some <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/amiibo/">Amiibo</a> toys "likely will not return to market," following a retailer's claim that the publisher had officially discontinued the Marth, Wii Fit Trainer and Villager figures. In a statement provided to several sites including <a href="http://www.wired.com/2014/12/amiibo-discontinued/">Wired</a>, <a href="http://kotaku.com/nintendo-warns-not-all-amiibos-will-get-a-second-run-1668352067">Kotaku</a> and <a href="http://www.destructoid.com/nintendo-reportedly-discontinues-marth-wii-fit-trainer-villager-amiibo-284688.phtml?utm_source=feedburner&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Feed%3A+Destructoid+%28Destructoid%29">Destructoid</a>, Nintendo said it'll aim to keep the "most popular" figures available, but that there's only so much shelf space to go around.<br />
<br />
"We will aim for certain Amiibo to always be available," reads the statement. "These will be for our most popular characters like Mario and Link. Due to shelf space constraints, other figures likely will not return to the market once they have sold through their initial shipment."<br />
