(Pandemic, cares about community and employees, limited space in electronics departments, and ideally just not looking well to have something specific that could form a “line”) This is not a heard it from someone else, I could not purchase online, called the store, had the manager walk to the electronics department and grab me one of the last packs to be on hold, I think pointing out the complete lie of the ad helped. The ad said you can only purchase online, with drive up or pick up in store being the only options. The issue that most of us had wasn’t so much on the point of limited supplies,the fact is that target, who was the only retailer in the United States with an exclusive release of the reprints, blatantly lied in their advertisement. As to future releases at Target I hope they gets denied from Nintendo now.


If scarcity is the issue then Sony PS5 is also at fault but everyone seems to think it's only Nintendo but since this isn't a Sony Forum I guess that is for those sites to handle.Īlso this is the main story not a Nintendo problem to deal with as you mentioned. Tue 30th Mar Those cards was from 2016 not a 2021 so they probably already made a limited quantity to start with let alone enough.So what's their response to how this all played out? And from what I've heard, this isn't the first time Target has bungled a video game related event exclusive to their stores. So what's Nintendo's response to a business partner not holding up their end of the deal? We've seen in the past (or at least have heard rumors) of Nintendo packing up shop and moving on from a partnership when things don't go the way they want. Target clearly dropped the ball on this for whatever reason (s). Now, as far as my point in Nintendo's reaction to this, I agree with you in that they probably had a deal with Target that involved how these would be sold and how many per customer. Like many have said, if these were widely and plentiful available, you may avoid these kinds of problems The way Target handled the release and sale is all on them.īut Nintendo bears some responsibility for either 1) Not being completely aware of just how popular Animal Crossing and any new content related would be (and there's a part me that seriously doubts that) or 2) Like many suspects they purposely do, create a sense of scarcity which leads to these kinds of situations. Tue 30th Mar I guess my post wasn't clear.
