Japanese retail news blog
Sinobi (translated by
Andriasang) reports Nintendo has a somewhat surprising supply strategy for its upcoming, three-dimensional remake of
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. According to the blog, Nintendo's initial shipment of the title to retailers will be "extremely small." Furthermore, Nintendo supposedly isn't letting retailers order extra units of the game, and is allotting a limited number of copies for all retailers, regardless of their respective size.
It seems bananas to limit supply on the 3DS' most anticipated title to date, but Sinobi suggests this could be a reaction to the overstocking of
Zelda: Spirit Tracks, which ended up in Japanese bargain bins faster than the franchise is likely used to. If that's the case, then Nintendo is forgetting one very important factor:
Spirit Tracks is a
pretty okay game, while
Ocarina of Time is the
best game ever made.
