 Okay, this news It sucks. I Hope it's not right. I Hope that this isn't Nintendo's plans. I hope that You know we at least get Nintendo to stick to their March 31st date but If you don't get or do not have a pre-order in already or Super Mario 3d All-Stars You Probably won't be able to get the game physically at least that's what it's looking like according to one retailer Who's telling people that? they don't think or We don't have any reason to believe that they will be receiving a new shipment of the game ever Before we get into that We do have a couple giveaways going on including one giveaway for three copies of Super Mario 3d All-Stars So three winners one copy each there's a gleaned out I'll link down in the description for that you can also join our patreon patreon.com slash antenna prime Originally it was going to be a physical or digital game you could win for that one But you know what it might be impossible for me to get a hold of the physical games So probably looking at digital we also are giving away a switch light and then two second-place winners will win a game of choice If you go into the description as well There's a laundry list of ways that you can enter for that as well And if I happen to find anywhere that you can still pre-order Super Mario 3d All-Stars I'll toss that down there as well in case you're trying to get some last second pre-orders and well This is not what I wanted to talk about in the middle of the night but There's a UK retailer that has been telling people that They are not certain that the Super Mario 3d All-Stars game is going to get restocked So we have been notified of our allocation of Super Mario 3d All-Stars Nintendo switch and it's woefully short. All right, so this comes off of Off a direct few games. You guys might recognize him. He appears on the spawncast a lot And the it's from UK retailer base and this is an email they sent out to some people asking about Pre-orders and when they're gonna get restocked This is very disappointing and it is a great regret that we have to inform you that we'll be unable to fulfill your order on the day of release Okay, cool. So they took too many pre-orders And so they can't fulfill it on day of release that I mean that happens retailers take more, you know, too many pre-orders This next line though Further as Nintendo and their UK distributors are unable to give us any Reassurance that more stock will become available after release We have taken the regrettable decision to cancel all orders Read that again We have just been notified of our allocation of Super Mario 3d All-Stars for Nintendo switch and it's woefully short This is very disappointing and it is with great regret that we have to inform you that we will be unable to fulfill your order on the Day of release further as Nintendo and their UK distributors are unable to give us any Reassurance that more stock will become available after release. We have taken the regrettable decision to cancel all orders Think about what they're saying here. They are canceling all orders for the game Not just because they're gonna be woefully short on being able to fulfill their pre-orders But because they can't guarantee they're ever getting more Okay, think about that a retailer is telling its consumer base. We cannot confirm with Nintendo We have been in contact with them. They're there. They're the supplier We cannot get any confirmation that we're ever ever getting another shipment of Super Mario 3d All-Stars Now we haven't seen this talked about yet other retailers because This isn't something that usually talked about after launch anyways It's very rare that a retailer comes out and even says the ongoing behind the scenes But this is a very troubling sign and this makes it look like that March 31st date Maybe that March 31st date is For the digital version because the physical version might only be a one-time run I don't want that to be the case and Nintendo has to see how incredibly well it's sold You know, it was on pace physically to outsell animal crossing and now it looks like the only reason Physically that it won't outsell Animal crossing New Horizons is because Nintendo's just not gonna make enough of them physically to do it now Again, this is just one retailer, but it's the only information we have. This is a legit retailer I've had it confirmed from multiple sources that base sent out this email. I mean, this is legit This is legit It's a legitimately nuts if we're completely honest I I I'm just I Don't understand Nintendo sometimes. I get that limited runs of games are not unusual for Nintendo other companies do limited runs, too That's not just say Nintendo's the only one Nintendo seems to be the only one that does it with their biggest games for some reason not their biggest of biggest game I guess, you know, that's not fair to Nintendo like they didn't do this for Bethel while Odyssey and all So but like, you know, when they bring out their classic games, why does it got to be a limited run? I get that increases value There's no reason to make the digital version limited like the fact that digital versions gone after the 31st next year is ridiculous but like to only do potentially one print of the physical version of Super Mario 3d all-stars is One of those asinine things I've ever heard of now. Do I do I really believe that Nintendo's not gonna make anymore? I don't know. I don't know what to believe. I don't know what to believe. I Like my mind is telling me there's no way they said they were discontinuing physical and digital on March 31st So to me that sounds like Nintendo must have planned to make more they had to have known the initial stock would sell out You know, maybe they didn't think it was selling at launch where they had to have known that we're gonna have to make more, right? Maybe except they're all they're telling retailers that hey, we're not guaranteeing you're ever getting anymore That that means from Nintendo that's straight from Nintendo. Hey, we can't guarantee you're getting any more copies of this ever Um That's a problem. That's a real big problem. So Man and the thing is you know all these people that have pre-orders in an Amazon all these people that pre-orders in a Best Buy and Target and Walmart I bet you all those retailers took way more pre-orders than they're actually gonna receive stock So they're gonna have to end up refunding people too because they're not gonna get physical copies to cover it potentially I'm I'm hopeful that this is just kind of a hey Nintendo doesn't have enough information to give out when they're gonna restock things which is really weird for a game It doesn't release for a week still Nintendo could clearly ramp up You know printing more cartridges and getting them out there and then shipped out and get the next shipment ready But if they're not doing that That's a damn shame It's almost like leaving money on the table because there's gonna be some people that would only buy this game physically There's gonna be some people that would not consider this game as a digital purchase So that's it's a interesting thing And I also find it interesting because I always thought that for the holiday period. Yes I reward your age of calamity is their holiday game But I always figured that Super Mario 3d all stars is gonna sell incredibly well during the holidays So they were going to want physical copies on store shelves What do I know this is Nintendo I Don't have a pre-order in I Didn't think it was gonna be a problem to get a physical copy for the next couple months I didn't really I honestly didn't think it was gonna be that hard. I knew it would sell out at lunch I knew at launch. I would probably gonna have to buy digitally Man to imagine that they wouldn't do another print and I mean it just doesn't make sense It doesn't make sense business wise I Guess the only thing is it really makes that launch that launch one super collectible Like if you get a physical copy a Super Mario 3d all stars and you have that pre-order right now at launch Don't open that thing leave that leave that as a sealed copy if they're not doing a second print That sealed copy is gonna be worth big big big money many years down the road Just buy digitally if you actually want to play it It's insane. It's insane To have a retailer come out and say that Nintendo can assure them they're gonna get any more stock of the game ever It's just it baffles my mind It baffles my mind that that shouldn't even be a concern until we get to like February, you know, maybe then they start cutting off stock But we're not even to launch and already cutting stock off I've just never heard of a company doing this before with a brand new game coming down Oh, hey, look, it's super popular high selling by the way. We remember not giving you anymore. Have a good day Oh boy, wait, there's always time for Nintendo to change their minds and I've talked about how that March 31st date might just be a tentative thing and they might extend it, but I Mean, are they going to are they really going to? man Man for you lucky, you know handfuls of millions probably, you know four or five million out there They got your pre-order in and are legitimately getting a physical copy congratulations Congratulations because the rest of us won't be able to get one at least that's what it that's the only information We have right now until Nintendo says otherwise. Hi folks. That's all I got. Thanks for tuning in I know kind of a late-night middle-night video. I couldn't sleep Maybe this news is why I couldn't sleep. So I'll catch you guys in the next video
