Online store Base cancels Super Mario 3D All-Stars pre-orders

 

In an angry email, the online store Base has announced to customers that it is cancelling pre-orders for the famous Super Mario 3D All-Stars. It is blaming Nintendo for this shortage, saying that the firm should have done more to guarantee enough stocks to ensure that clients' demands are met.

Part of the email reads, “We have just been notified of our allocation of Super Mario 3D All-Stars and it is woefully short. This is very disappointing and it is with great regret that we have to inform you that we will be unable to fulfil [your] order on the day of release”. Moreover, the retailer advanced that since they do not have any reassurance from Nintendo and other UK distributors that more stock will become available, they are having to cancel all orders.

Base is not the only merchant experiencing this issue. Another store has described the product as sold out four days before its release. As for bigger retailers, such as Amazon, they are still taking pre-orders. However, there has been no guarantee regarding the amount of stock that they will have after its launch. As advanced before, this lack on the market is completely of Nintendo’s making but the logic behind it is still unknown.
