Looks like Nintendo is screwing up the 3D All-Stars release by first limiting its availability time and now compounding that with not even making enough physical copies.

You'd think they would at least flood stores with physical copies given its limited release, especially with the holidays coming up.

I wouldn’t put too much faith on this article. It’s coming from one retailer, probably not big enough to secure enough shipment, while also not limiting its preorders not knowing how many copies they can get.

Seems more like they tried to bluff and force Nintendo to allow them a bigger shipment by showing huge numbers of preorder. It just backfired.

No it's more widespread than that. Seems Nintendo just woefully undershipped for the launch. Hopefully that isn't the case for the entire 6 month run. Apparently Both target and Amazon in the US are completely out of initial shipments based on preorders already. Nintendo has once again screwed up availability of a major product launch.
