Mario Wii in stock shortage in the USA ?

LiveWii writes : "Reggie Fils-Aime must smile and keep smiling since the NPD results. New Super Mario Bros. Wii does really well. So well that the game is rumored to be in stock shortage in the USA where it is quite hard to find a copy of the game in some Walmart, BestBuy & more... Nintendo pulling an artificial shortage 'a la' the Wii ? Maybe."

I wonder why Nintendo does this? I've noticed that this game is pretty hard to find in this area. There's no reason for games to be in short supply any more, especially with how quickly optical media can be mass-produced.

Blaster_Master5243d ago

Yeah. The NSMBW has been the biggest pain in the butt to find this christmas. Its my personal GOTY. People say the wii is only for casuals, but the NSMBW is one of the best old school hardcore games out this gen. Its freaking sic!

vhero5243d ago

they did it when wii first launched. Purposely released low stock amounts and it worked! Demand for the product made it what it is today.

ChickeyCantor5243d ago

@vhero,

The demand is already high...so i dont really see why they want to fake it.

Infact they could make much more money if they just pump the stores full.

mint royale5243d ago

@vhero

You obviously do not know about the supply constraints of business. I suggest lookin up Nintendo's case and then you may see the efforts they went to to increase supply.

SpoonyRedMage5243d ago

actually Nintendo's stock issues with the Wii was because they knew it would eventually decline again so purchasing a new factory wouldn't be economically feasible so they struggled to increase supplies.

With NSMB Wii it's surely the unprecedented demand? they probably put it somewhere closer to Galaxy than NSMB DS and it's gone the other way.

MW2 sold almost 6x what Wii Super Mario did, there is no boast for being second.

Blaster_Master5243d ago

Hahaha, SMBW is a better game and will have longer legs. BTW, boasting about a crap game only makes you look like the sheep that you are.

Jackel20725243d ago

all i can say about this is, after we sell out for the day. we are not allowed to restock the game until the next day or so...

I had to hide my copy under a box of wires in the warehouse at bestbuy so I could get mine at the end of my shift. Its better then I thought. LOVE IT!

Goodbye New Mario, I Won't Miss You

Super Mario Bros. Wonder is the first Mario 2D game in almost two decades without the New Super Mario art style, and it looks all the better for it

Am I missing something? It looks exactly the same, just higher resolution… Is this sarcasm?

specialguest303d ago

Yes, you're not observant if you think it looks exactly the same. It immediately appeared different to me from the start. Mario's 3D model will always be the same, so not much difference there. However, the animation they've given the Super Mario Wonder makes it look more like a CGI Mario animation where as the New Mario Bros game looks more like typical video game animation movements

__SteakDeck__303d ago

@specialguest Yeah those animations are insane.

FinalFantasyFanatic303d ago

You really didn't notice the difference? It's really obvious, I was surprised when I first saw the trailer.

Asplundh302d ago

"Am I missing something?"

Your glasses maybe?

Juancho51303d ago

This Mario game looks great, getting a switch for this and Mario RPG. CANT WAIT, TITS JACKED.

Profchaos303d ago

Yeah I liked how much more emotion could be conveyed through the new style at first glance I didn't see much difference but then rewatching the trailer I'm seeing more and more animations that remind me of the Mario artwork from the manual of smb3

Outlawzz302d ago

I hated the new super Mario bros Style. This new one seems a lot more expressive and less generic. I hope it's a good game

shinoff2183302d ago

I prefer the 2d Mario's. Me and my girl have played them all together and mario galaxy , Mario odyssey. The 2nd player option is extremely eh

Super Mario U is a great one that reminds me alot of Super Mario World on snes. When ran in 4k@60fps on pc, it's hard not to love it.

89% Metacritic another stellar creative game.

SkatterBrain1762d ago (Edited 1762d ago )

Well if Little Big Planet went 3d with Dreams then I guess marios going 3D maker next, looking forward to that

King_Noctis1762d ago (Edited 1762d ago )

I think going forward it would be redundant to have another NSMB game on the Switch as the Mario Maker series can accomplish almost anything the NSMB series have level-wise.

jjb19811762d ago

Could you imagine a Mario 64 maker? Phenomenal.

Jin_Sakai1761d ago (Edited 1761d ago )

I’d rather have a Zelda Maker. The dungeon builder on the new upcoming Zelda: Links Awakening looks like a testing ground.

https://screenrant.com/link...

Aonuma hinted at the possibility of Chamber Dungeons evolving into a Zelda Maker game in an interview with Kotaku during E3. Reporter Jason Schreier asked Aonuma directly if a Zelda Maker was in the cards, to which Aonuma replied:

“I can’t predict the future, but if people do love this idea of arranging dungeons, I’ll keep that in mind going forward.”
