Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Nintendo and their damn supply issues

Seriously, what is up with them.

Whenever they make something besides games, they almost NEVER make enough of it!

First there was the Hyrule Warriors scraf

Then the Gamecube controller adapter 

Then Amiibo (Villager, Wii Fit Trainer, Marth, Little Mac, Pit)

and now the Majora's Mask 3D Limited Edition, ALREADY SOLD OUT ON GAMESTOP AND AMAZON, IT WAS ANNOUNCED TODAY

The problem is that they always underestimate how much something will sell, and then don't send out that many copies of it, when really the demand is huge



Around the Network

maybe because they all sell better than expected.

It's called "limited edition" for a reason.

so limited that they sold out within hours of announcing it? If that's a supply issue then I don't know what is

Also the amiibo and gamecube controller adapters were not limited

They also didn't sell out in hours.

Isn't it obvious? Nintendo hates money!

It actually did, see link below

"Nintendo's Facebook post specifies this bundle as exclusive to Amazon, GameStop and Fry's Electronics (thanks for the heads up @Ryno). The bundle is already a 'best seller' and sold out on Amazon and GameStop, the latter of which includes an 'ultimate' set with the Prima strategy guide. Based on social network post timings these sell-outs happened within a couple of hours"



Well, that's what limited means . . . However, I do agree with you about the GC adapter.

"They," as in the Amiibo Figures and GC Adapters.



Very good sign that Nintendo sold a batch of limited Zelda MJ that quick but not a a small number will end up on ebay.

Personally I like the EU limited edition much more...
