One of the unfortunate aspects of game releases that we’ve had to deal with in the last few months has been shortages, especially with Nintendo titles. The Wii U has only been available since November, but since that time I can think of three separate incidents where supply shortages of games caused a negative attitude toward Nintendo.<\/p>\n The first that happened was admittedly not with a Wii U game, but with the 3DS game Fire Emblem: Awakening. Nearly everyone I talked to both on the internet and among my friends who were looking for the title, couldn’t find a physical copy. GameStop was sold out and even the Walmart in my small hometown didn’t have any copies. Ultimately, I ended up buying the game on the 3DS eShop because I didn’t want to wait to play it anymore.<\/p>\n As the release date for Lego City: Undercover<\/a> rolled around, GameStop and Amazon both listed the release date as three days after the March 18th release date, to March 21st. We told you guys this probably meant there would be a shortage<\/a>, and sure enough when release date rolled around, consumers were having a hard time finding copies in stores. That seems to be somewhat rectified now, but European customers are currently going through their own crises. <\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
