British retailer Base has canceled all Super Mario 3D All-Stars “href =” https://www.videogameschronicle.com/games/super-mario-games/super-mario-3d-all-stars/ “> Super Mario 3D All-Stars pre-orders follow what he describes as a “woefully short” allocation of copies provided by Nintendo “href =” https://www.videogameschronicle.com/platforms/nintendo/ “> Nintendo.
Priced at $ 59.99 / £ 49.99 and due for release on September 18, Super Mario 3D All-Stars is a compilation containing the Switch remasters of Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine and Super Mario Galaxy.
The packaged version of the software is “a limited-time production” and the digital version will only be available until March 2021, Nintendo said in its original announcement.
The limited availability of the game has contributed to strong pre-orders. At the time of writing, it is Amazon’s second most purchased video game of 2020 in the US and its fifth most purchased title of the year in the UK.
And its limited availability looks like it will leave some customers hoping to get a physical version, and they will have to make a digital purchase instead.
According to an email from Base posted on Resetera, and then sent to VGC by another affected customer, the UK retailer has canceled all physical pre-orders after receiving a much smaller allocation than anticipated. It also claims that it has not received any guarantee from Nintendo that stock will be replenished after launch.
“We have just been notified of our Super Mario 3D All-Stars (Nintendo Switch” href = “https://www.videogameschronicle.com/platforms/nintendo/switch/”> Nintendo Switch) assignment and it’s woefully brief, “says his message. “This is very disappointing and it is with great regret that we have to inform you that we will not be able to fulfill your order on launch day.
Also, as Nintendo and its UK distributors [sic] They cannot give us any assurance that more stock will be available after launch, we have made the regrettable decision to cancel all orders. “
In responses to Resetera’s post, one commenter claims that he successfully placed a pre-order for the game at another UK retailer, ShopTo, and that while the order money has been withdrawn from his bank account, he has yet to received a confirmation. email as usual.
This author has had the same experience with his pre-order from ShopTo. VGC has contacted ShopTo for comment on this story and the general status of Mario 3D All-Stars pre-orders.
