[ Splatoon Selling Out In Japan, Nintendo Apologies ] It seems Nintendo's unconventional paintball shooter has been well received in Japan where retail copies & related amiibo are already scarce. So much so, that the company has issued an apology on its Official Japanese Twitter account, promising that additional copies will be shipped to stores next week. * Story Continues in first comments...

  • Nice. Will be interesting to see how this compares to other regions.

  • Wow! Can't wait to look at the software charts. Good for Nintendo. (Sorry, Japanese physical gamers. xD)

    Yeahs1
  • Didn't Nintendo learn their lesson about understocking from the amiibo problem? Well, at least they're addressing the problem quickly.

    Yeahs2
  • I think it's safe to say that Nintendo has a hit on their hands with Splatoon. I got my amiibo, my water gun, and my copy of the game. When I get home tonight, I'm gonna be throwing down.

    Yeahs3
  • It's good to hear a Wii U game selling well. Hopefully loads more Wii U's are being sold too :)

    A new IP for Nintendo would be pretty great for them and their consumers.

  • Just got the last copy my GameStop had along with Inkling Boy and Girl (Could not get that 3 pack...) and i'm ready to play in a few hours! Also slightly off topic, but I also got a Silver Mario and a Wario!

  • Nintendo always low balling on the inventory. I understand completely why too. I'm glad they've almost sold through their first batch.

    I really hope Splatoon takes NA and the EU by storm and sells out in both regions

    Yeahs2
  • I hope its a massive success and puts all the so called "real nintendo fans" who said the game wouldn't sell or that it incomplete yadayada buying used crowed to shame, and for once let the fun innovative gameplay do the talking:)

    Yeahs0
  • when does NL get the game?

    Yeahs0
  • Well, sadly S.T.E.A.M. was practically doomed from the beginning, first of all, it wasn't advertised that much, and with a new IP that's the first thing they should've done, secondly, the fact that is a strategy game, while I don't have anything against the genre, not many people enjoy it, I myself suck at it, combine all that with a total focus on the US, and you have a recipe for disaster...

    Yeahs1
  • WOW. Just WOW. At least it's a good problem, indeed!

  • Woah! Sold out in Japan already?! Amazing!

  • Oh nintendo. Mismatch in supply and demand when demand is too high, per the norm
