“Please proceed to test with main retailers for availability”
In case you missed it, Metroid Prime Remastered (or remake, relying on the way you see it) dropped digitally on February 8, and bodily on February 22 within the US. Nicely, it was supposed to reach bodily on February 22, however many retailers didn’t get shipments, and people who wished a replica discovered themselves inundated with sell-out runs from bots and scalpers. It’s the newest in a string of Nintendo bodily launch drama, however there is likely to be mild on the finish of the tunnel for this story.
Metroid Prime Remastered will proceed to be stocked
Nintendo of America really offered an announcement to the outlet Nintendo Life, who famous that they’re conscious of the difficulty and intend to maintain the sport in inventory (not less than for the close to future). Right here’s the total assertion, courtesy of Nintendo Life:
“We’ll do the whole lot we will to fulfill the robust demand for the product. Please proceed to test with main retailers for availability. If the Metroid Prime Remastered sport sells out at varied retail places within the U.S., we’ll work to offer extra models as quickly as doable.”
Clearly Nintendo desires to generate income, so that they’ll do the whole lot they’ll to promote as a lot as they’ll; together with inventory that also must be shipped. However the “quickly as doable” bit implies some type of urgency, which may assist your case in the event you’re nonetheless out there for a replica. It additionally insinuates that this isn’t a particularly restricted one-time run, so it’s best to have one other likelihood to seize it in the event you’re perking up proper now and realized you need a copy.
As for me, my launch-ordered Amazon copy nonetheless hasn’t shipped, however is slated to come back in round March 7 via March 9. That’s a number of weeks after the aforementioned bodily launch, however not less than it’s semi-locked in!
