Nintendo. Scalpers wouldn't be an issue if Nintendo even attempted to make a reasonable amount

You could also argue that if the companies selling the stores made actual policies against scalping, it would also be resolved. But why would nintendo or the companies that sell them care as long as they make their money?

More onus on Nintendo being able to keep up with demand. Scalpers are just a symptom of Capitalism, scumbag and all.

I assume they don't want to print more than what is needed.

Well considering that there are nowhere near enough to go around I somehow doubt that

They don't want to print more than 10% of what's needed

That doesn't explain how pre-orders are sold out literally minutes after they become available.

At this point, I think the damage is done, so even increased production would be unable to deter scalpers. It's their fault in the first place for not printing enough though.
