Japan has been hit by a bad Nintendo Switch shortage thanks to the coronavirus outbreak affecting production and logistics.
Though the shortage didn’t affect the Turquoise, Yellow, and Gray Nintendo Switch Lite systems, the release of Animal Crossing: New Horizons has finally affected all three colors.
The shortage is real
Reports indicate as of March 30, 2020, that Turquoise, Yellow, and Gray Nintendo Switch Lite systems have completely ran out on Amazon Japan, Rakuten Books, Bic Camera, Yodobashi Camera, and 7net.
Which of course consist for a large share of the market in Japan.
However, the shortages have not affected My Nintendo Store, that is to say yet, but it wouldn’t be surprising to see it hit the store in the coming days as stock continues to deplete across Japan.
Our advice; If you are looking to get Nintendo Switch anytime soon … even if you are outside of Japan; do it now!
