Search Xenoblade's price and then come back. Nintendo has trouble predicting the beast that is hardcore Nintendo gamers

i understand that, even fire emblem, but not pokemon. Pokemon they'll over ship! Just like Mario games, It wont happen to pokemon. Its the biggest handheld ip ever!

What I don't get is why this is happening.

I can understand Xenoblade or other games that are retail only, but this game is available on the eshop. So who in their right mind would spend $63.00 as I see on Amazon right now, when you can buy it instantly on the eshop for $42.00 or whatever it was with tax.

You don't care for your fellow gamers, do you? You should be ashamed and commit public sudoku.

Damn, you just took me back. It's been years since I've seen someone perform public sudoku on this forum. Good times.

I don't know what kind of shipping issues Nintendo had, considering they haven't apparently told anyone about them and this has NEVER happened before. I'm not one to believe conspiracy theories ("Nintendo is doing this on purpose to make us buy the digital version!") but it...really is weird.

Needless to say I bought the digital version.

Amazon just sent me a delivery date today. Sometime between the 19th and the 25th. I'm just grateful I got it for the original asking price.

It still reads "temporarily out of stock," though.
