The shortage in Nintendo Switch consoles has been a known problem for a while now. However, the problem is so bad in Japan that Nintendo’s Japanese account has personally apologized for the situation going on there. The good news, according to Nintendo, is that they say the situation will improve in July and August with an increase in shipments. The information was translated into English, so we’ve included an English tweet down below.

Hope so, but no trouble over here (if you actually try)…
What do you mean? Pay scalpers?
It’s called not being a lazy dipwad and actually go out at appropriate times. I’ve been out at the appropriate times and have almost always seen Switches
“It’s called not being a lazy dipwad and actually go out at appropriate times. I’ve been out at the appropriate times and have almost always seen Switches”
Then you’re quite lucky. I’ve known several people who went out at the appropriate time for weeks to get a Switch and came up dry.
Actions speak louder than words, Ninty. Time to really put your money where your mouth is.
If the supply isn’t dried up again by scalpers I’ll be surprised.
Damm scalpers
When be the appropriate times? o-o
My local Gamestop actually got some Switch consoles in stock today. First time I seen them in stock since launch. However, it looked like they only had like 2 or 3. They also FINALLY got more Breath Of The Wild Princess Zelda amiibo. So I now have them all. : D
So you got the Guardian amiibo with the Champion amiibo preordered along with Majora’s Mask Link? Damn you! lol But seriously, though. Congrats. I’m glad someone has them all.
I have the Guardian, but no, I haven’t preordered any of the upcoming amiibo. So I MIGHT miss out on Majora’s Mask Link and Twilight Princess Link. I’ll find out tomorrow when I go to those stores when they open.
Good luck getting Majora’s Mask Link. With the website store sold out, the retail store is your last shot at it if Ninty doesn’t replenish stock.

We about to go French Revolution on the rich folk, aren’t we!? :O I’m game! (Sorry… I’ve been playing a lot of Assassin’s Creed Unity on my PS4 & the game’s story is set during that time period.)
*Cough* Amiibos *Cough*
Sounds like the Switch is selling really well. I’m impressed. It’s going to be interesting to see how things go once they have production in full swing.

News on stock shortages for amiibo would be better since I already got my own Switch.
||My code is in my profile if you want to add me…||
Since I got you as a friend on Miiverse, I wonder if I’d even need your code thanks to the update on Switch letting you see if any of your Wii U/3DS friends have a Switch. (I hope it’s a nice work around instead of using the friend code crap.)
Sorry to butt in, but mind if I add you guys? :^)
||I certainly do not mind, you are very welcome to add me Miss Namie…||
Nice, thanks! Just sent you a request.
||It has been accepted, may I ask what your name is? I got 10 new members to my list apparently…||
Haha, I figured my request might have gone unnoticed, I use a different username outside MNN. No worries though, all good. The name’s Luxiere. (:
