There was another youtuber, Mike Oydessy (sorry for spelling if off), that reported there are issues with Amazon and Nintendo, but he said his source stated that Nintendo is battling Walmart because their site isn't up to demands Nintendo is making to help preventing scalping. Can't say Nintendo hates America when it is just those to places, when stores like Bestbuy, gamestop, target is having no issues with online preorders.

[@kirikun5636]

So other than the pre-orders Walmart and Amazon will have the game when everyone else gets the game?

[@DryBones271]

Also Scalpers are a real issue with online shopping. There are some assholes who feel entitled to buy an entire stock of a much anticipated game, then resell it a few days later at an inflated rate. They did that ALL the time with Amiibo. I imagine Nintendo very much cares about their fans, so much so this move was intentionally for those asshole scalpers.

[@ChaosNew]

These scalpers and leakers ruin days even when the game isnt out yet...

[@PhirePhlame]

Apparently, in Walmart's case, there's a dispute with Nintendo demanding Walmart take more measures to prevent scalping.

[@fishingmaster69]

Xenogears is a Ps1 game and it along with Chrono Trigger are Square Enix games so that's on Square Enix not Nintendo Edit: there's also the fact that FF7 is the first mainline Final Fantasy game to be released in Europe so yea definitely on Square Enix

[@Kirboo123]

Also Earthbound.

[@johnbakasmoothhotchocolate]

I don’t really think it’s because they hate Americans, because that’s ridiculous. If they were going to do it like that, they would just sell their merch to anywhere other than North America. And it would be a big shot in the foot being their headquarters is located in Redmond, Washington-which is IN America, btw. 😂 But there’s probably a demand order at work when it comes to Amazon and Walmart. And I pray it doesn’t spread to other places because you shouldn’t make a promise to your consumers that they can get what they’re releasing, and then something happens which makes you lose out on it. Not a very efficient business practice.

[@M64bros]

Exactly!

[@ericriley1985]

Nintendo's headquarters are in Kyoto, Japan. Redmond is the location of their American branch, Nintendo of America.

[@johnbakasmoothhotchocolate]

@@ericriley1985 The point is that they still have an American base of operation, regardless. So it doesn’t make any sense to say that they don’t care about Americans when: 1. They have a headquarters stationed in North American soil, regardless of it being major or minor. 2. Most of the retail sales include those from America. 3. While I know that there are some games that weren’t brought to the west, their remaster of Paper Mario IS going to be sold to the west. And a release date , as well as giving that customer the right to pre-order it, is the same thing as promising those who are interested in purchasing it. And when you roll back a promise that people trust, that’s a good way to lose your customers because that will give them doubt for wanting to get anything without going through a hassle.

[@PoketronPokey404]

Scalpers are probably a big factor Edit: Going before release date is definitely an issue. 1:40 HOW THE FRICK ARE YOU OUT OF STOCK ON A DIGITAL COPY AMAZON?! ITS A CODE

[@fillerbunnyninjashark271]

Amazon kept breaking street date. They got punished for breaking street date

[@shaunpiotrowski3185]

Personally, pre-ordering a digital copy never made any sense to me, and I hope someone in the thread can explain it to me. You can't run out of the digital version of the game, right?

[@slime_creeper439]

I don't think Nintendo even cares about us at all.

[@Mofaxx]

I think Nintendo is (understandably) trying to prevent the game from being dumped & leaked online before its street date. Considering this has often happened with their major releases, I can understand why they may be reticent to allow the game to be sold at retailers that may, intentionally or accidentally, ship the game to consumers before May 23rd.

[@Z64bit]

Honestly even if it is scalpers and leakers at least it's boosting the physical numbers. At some point you'll just see them on a shelf in a store at some point anyway

[@gamerlunayt]

Nintendo does (kinda) still care about their American fans. They may have done stupid things, like the pre-order cancellations for TTYD, but I would not say they do not care about their American fans anymore.

This will likely sell more than Origami King. I’d be very surprised if it didn’t

[@Epic_C]

They were shipping copies too early. I know in the past I got games a day or two early before. They probably violated policies several times and Nintendo was sick of it.

[@Infindox]

Small release?????? TTYD is a game that literally everyone has wanted since the original costs upwards of $150+ on the retro market. And Mario in general sells well. Haven't touched my Switch in months but busting it out for this one.

[@pokepizza]

Here's my only thing regarding the supply and demand issues with this game, especially knowing the history of how recent paper mario games have not been up to scratch when compared to the first two games. THEY SHOULD HAVE EXPECTED THIS, KNOWING THIS GAME'S HISTORY, AND SHOULD HAVE PRINTED ENOUGH PHYSICAL COPIES AT THESE STORES! Nintendo is known for doing this with their products. Anybody else remember the whole amiibo fiasco back during Easter when the Ness amiibo and other popular characters were in high demand and sold out instantly? There is absolutely no excuse for this type of behavior from Nintendo, and it is effing BS that they are doing this! The whole point of pre-ordering online is so that you have the convenience of buying the game from the comfort of your own home without having to drive over to a local Walmart and pick it up. Let alone, the fact that amazon isn't gonna deliver it now due to what Nintendo is doing. This is exactly why I always buy my games digitally. Because I'm tired of the bs anticonsumer practices with physical copies. I'm done. That's it. That's the rant. Thank you all for taking the time to read this.

[@EasterIslander13]

Fun personal story about paper mario ttyd.. this is the game that got me in to zelda! A friend of mine back in 2004 or maybe 05 was going to let me borrow ttyd and I got my hopes up to play it. Well it turned out he didn't have it anymore because of his brother so I was bummed out and went to Walmart to get a budget game to play. I didn't have much cash so i bought the wind waker since it was a 20$ greatest hits game. This ended up being the best thing to ever happen to me in gaming because I fell deep in love with the zelda franchise and found a way to play almost every zelda game in the coming years. Zelda means so much to me now and I owe it all to ttyd lol. Years and years later I finally obtained ttyd and it itself is amazing too!

I'm honestly not that upset, because I rarely preorder games, (and I've still gotten some games like Super Mario RPG on day 1) and I don't begrudge Nintendo for this, because they've had supply issues before, scalper issues, and such. Hopefully, they can supply more physical copies of the "World Championship." They did reissue the NES Classic when demand became high for it, and they recently reissued many old Amiibos. So it shows they care about fans somewhat to reissue these things.
