Reggie on how Nintendo handles production, New 2DS XL supply won’t be an issue
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, General Nintendo, News, Switch | 15 Comments
The NES Classic Edition was tough to find ever since it launched towards the end of last year. Nintendo didn’t help the situation by announcing its discontinuation. In light of that, The Verge asked Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime about how Nintendo determines how many units of a product to make.
He said:
“We create a plan, we build our programs against that plan. But based on what we see in the marketplace we make adjustments, and we go from there.”
Regarding Switch, Reggie confirmed that Nintendo did indeed increase production following the early response.

Shovel Knight: Specter of Torment won’t be ready on Wii U and 3DS until May in Europe
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii U | 0 comments
In North America, Shovel Knight: Specter of Torment is available on your platform of choice. The game can be bought and played on Switch, Wii U, or 3DS.
In Europe, Shovel Knight: Specter of Torment is taking a bit longer than expected on Wii U and 3DS. Yacht Club Games now says it’s planned for May.
The studio wrote on its website:
“Despite our best effort and brightest optimism, we have found a few unexpected issues which are holding up different versions at the final submission step. We’re doing everything we can to have these resolved as soon as possible, but since this last step involves other teams, we are not able to provide an exact release date. We really can hear back on almost any day. We’re sorry for this delay, but hope to have you playing the latest version soon!”
