Nintedo Switch Updates: Console Facing Supply Shortage, Where To Buy, More Exclusives Revealed

The Nintendo Switch is selling like hotcakes everywhere. But in the case of Nintendo, great sales come with stock shortages and the Nintendo Switch is no different. It seems that Nintendo can't meet the demands of their newest console as several retailers have run out of stock.

The UK was severely affected by the Nintendo Switch supply shortage according to PVP Live. An anonymous UK game store manager has contacted Nintendo regarding the resupply of the console. Nintendo, however, did not confirm when the additional stocks will arrive. This is especially troubling as April will mark the release of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe which will surely be a hit as the series has proven with previous entries. The Switch is in need of more quality games as "The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild" is the only worthwhile title on the console.

Gameseek, another UK game retailer is also facing similar problems with the anonymous game retailer. According to them the stock for the Nintendo Switch has already reached zero. The retailer has stopped selling the console because they don't have any Switch available in stock.

Meanwhile, Amazon in the US is also facing Nintendo Switch Supply issues. The online retailer is out of stock of the Switch. Third-party sellers, on the other hand, are selling their consoles at a profit with $400. Ebay has gotten in the trend of selling the Switch more than its retail price.

Moreover, "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" is also facing supply issues. The Nintendo Switch exclusive is the highest rated game of this generation. Trusted Reviews reports that almost every one of the 1.5 million buyers of the Nintendo Switch also bought the new Zelda game. It is currently out of stock on both Amazon US and UK for the physical copy of the game.

For now, in the UK, Agros is the only retailer that has stocks of the Nintendo Switch as reported by Express. The US is still currently out of stock as most major retailers have reported. For more stock updates, it's best to check Now In Stock.

The good news for the Nintendo Switch is that exclusives will be coming. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe will arrive next month and Splatoon 2 coming later this year. Nintendo just has to make more consoles to fix their issues.
