A shelf of amiibo was the unexpected star of President Obama’s latest interview. Twitter user, Qqnosh, took notice of a conspicuous Nintendo collection during the president’s with YouTube, and things just spiraled from there.

Once others saw it, the floodgates opened. Some blamed him for the shortage.

Wait… so now when I can't find an amiibo I want to buy, I can legit say "Thanks Obama." https://t.co/yMrYJ41m34

Don’t even joke about that, man.
The big disappointment for everybody will be when Obama publicly scans his amiibo and we see its all Mario Party 10 saves, not Smash data.

Obama definitely sends Secret Service agents out to grab all amiibo they can carry.

Oh, wait, those aren’t actually his?

That doesn’t matter. He’s probably still got all amiibo anyway.

Obama photographed with amiibos. Trump condemns him saying “all amiibos should be deported. Disney Infinity toys are real Americans”

Obama chuckled. "You mean the Chaos Emeralds?"

Of course, Nintendo was all in favor of this.
