There’s good news and bad news ahead, according to a new Financial Times interview with Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aimé. In short, I’ll believe SNES Classic production is “dramatically increased” when I see it, and the thing stops selling out within 30 seconds. The bad news has to do with the Nintendo Switch, where Reggie relays that while Nintendo will be making as many as it can, “as many as it can” may be hard-limited and result in shortages. “There is a potential that demand is going to outstrip supply,” Reggie said, and indicated that a “complex supply” chain is tough to manage. NintendoRegardless, if Nintendo is promising a plentiful supply of SNES Classics (which almost seem guaranteed to be in short supply regardless), it’s a bit daunting to hear them forecast Switch shortages outright.
