Switch shipments have mostly come to a halt in Japan. As we reported earlier today, Nintendo isn’t sending out new consoles this week aside for orders that were reserved. It’s unclear when the system will become more widely available.
On the bright side, shipments will not be as severely impacted in the west. Nikkei reports that stock will continue to be delivered to North America and Europe.
Switch has nonetheless become more difficult to find in overseas territories. Recently, Nintendo said that “more systems are on the way” for the United States.
