Amazon Cancelling Master Edition's of Zelda: BotW Orders

there's no reason to further restrict the availability of an already 'limited edition'.

There is no reason whatsover for Nintendo to do this. So please stop those weird, utterly nonsensical, conspiracy theories.

And yet they've done so anyway. Just a few weeks ago in japan they were artificially limiting the FE Echoes Valentia Complete edition before their website shit the bed. After it was down for almost 24 hours Nintendo then apologized and opened up preorders again, saying this time that everyone who preorders will be guaranteed to get one instead of first come, first serve on a limited run.

When people in that thread couldn't deny what Nintendo had done, they tried to save face by saying it was ok for Nintendo to limit stock because a limited edition should be "limited," insisting that Nintendo shouldn't use the guaranteed preorder method ever again.

I feel really bad for those that had their orders cancelled. Especially with the special edition also being sold out. Amazon should have offered to compensate with a free switch case if you ordered a regular copy of zelda (not that you can because it is sold out). Mine is now showing preparing your shipment for its status...hopefully that is a good thing.

I may be mistaken about his intention, but I think he meant a lawsuit issued by Amazon against Nintendo for costing Amazon lost revenue, wasted man hours, lost long term customer loyalty, etc.... There may actually be grounds if this is a case of Nintendo promising Amazon X number of pre-orders and then significantly decreasing those numbers, pissing off thousands of Amazon customers. That said, Amazon is a massive company and while annoying to deal with, this is nothing more than a blip on their quarterly balance sheet. They likely wouldn't risk ruining a recently repaired relationship with Nintendo over something so small. Its a big deal to individuals who had their MEs canceled, but it'd look pretty petty for Amazon to press forward with legal action in this case. And we'd have another Ninty generation where their hardware products aren't officially for sale on Amazon, which isn't good for anyone.

We do not know the deal between Nintendo and Amazon. Sure there might exist a possibility to file a lawsuit but it is easier for Amazon to just not do business with them in the future. We know that is not going to happen because selling games is easy revenue for Amazon. This is a big deal for us consumers but it is a tiny blimp in the grand scheme of things.

This poster pulses with an appeal so broad the typical restraints of our societies fall by the wayside.
Mine was cancelled 12 hours ago, but I just got this additional email:

Same thing for me. I only ordered one...they said they cancelled the additional item. My order still shows open. So confused.

I really wanted the carrying case. Would have been nice to get a heads up y'know, earlier than two weeks before launch.
Click to expand...

Wasn't it sold out immediately everywhere? I don't know what knowing earlier would have realistically done for you tbh

Sucks regardless though. I hope Amazon does something additional if they get enough complaints.

Well I hope all of you guys stop pre-ordering from Amazon from now on.

I've learned my lesson, idk why I skipped out on GameStop. Not once have I had any problems with pre-orders but this for some reason just feels like a punch to the gut.

Any opportunity to not give money to Gamestop is a good one. Sad to see what has happened to everyone though.

Are we completely sure this is all on Nintendo? Is it possible Amazon has overextended itself with these additional cancellations?

I mean if the rumors of stolen shipment is true, it really isn't anybody's fault ? Sucks, but things like that happen. And people expecting Nintendo to just magically produce some aren't being rational lol.

Always have a backup order especially for Nintendo limited stuff. One good thing about GS is they rarely cancel.

Same although I was worried that it was because I have a SE on order too.

This could be a glitch. I do remember a similar thing happening to my Mighty No. 9 Signature Edition preorder. Amazon returned my preorder within a few.

Not like I kept it anyway lol
