“We apologize that we couldn’t meet demand”

Bayonetta 1 Swap shortages for the newly minted bodily editions are sadly plaguing the UK and a few areas in Europe, because of an unique rollout on the My Nintendo Retailer.

Right here’s the complete assertion from Nintendo, on Twitter, issued right this moment:

“We apologize that we couldn’t meet demand for the bodily version of the primary Bayonetta recreation just lately. We’ll restock the bodily version of the primary Bayonetta recreation as soon as extra later this 12 months, on [the] My Nintendo Retailer.”

The tweet then goes on to offer a hyperlink for replace registration right here.

In the meantime, within the US, Bayonetta 1 has been accessible at a number of retailers, and is quickly in inventory on the time of writing at Greatest Purchase. It truly went up on the market weeks in the past (I obtained my copy some time again), and is holding inventory. So the “restricted portions” Nintendo spoke of prior to now appear to be region-based.

Outdoors of the regional Bayonetta 1 Swap shortages, this isn’t the primary hectic rodeo from a My Nintendo Retailer rollout. Xenoblade 3 was rife with entry issues, with digital queues that didn’t work, or crashed randomly. Ideally Nintendo will cease doing exclusives like this in any area, because the demand clearly exceeds no matter Nintendo has in thoughts by way of a sustainable strategy to taking pre-orders.

Within the meantime, when you actually need it and don’t need to wait on a thriller restock window (or doubtlessly take care of a damaged web site once more), importing from the US may very well be an possibility. Secondhand markets aren’t promoting it at obscene costs simply but, and a few shops may ship abroad.
