I am guessing its because Walmart and Amazon are breaking Nintendo's NDA. They are and have been releasing games up to 2 weeks earlier than the release date..... Nintendo has ways of tracking. Nintendo has serial codes on every game. physical and digital. They do an old school thing called batching. Where they only let x amt of physical/digital out the door per day. That is then batched in thousands/ten thousands whatever number they have chosen for the # of serial numbers... This is the way Nintendo makes sure its accurate in its inventory of a game and keeps track of how many is sold easily. Its a lot of labor upfront but it pays off as its hard to mess up in a big way with the batching system. I think Nintendo KNOWS that Walmart and Amazon are releasing games up to 2 weeks before the actual release date. They are aware of what serial numbers access the game digitally or physically. Then they can go to the batches and see where exactly those batches are coming from.... Walmart and Amazon. So then they go to Walmart and Amazon. Say we have proof that you broke our NDA's. You stop offering pre orders or we will sue you for damages. This is also how Nintendo tracks down people who purchased the game and put videos up of it online. They more than likely threaten a lawsuit against said company to get them to release the information they have on file for the purchase... then the people streaming/vids before release get the nintendo cease and desist letters.....

This video's Title isn't clickbait, but the Thumbnail is, because Nintendo didin't cancelled Paper Mario The Thousand-Year Door HD Remake, they just sadly cancelled it's Pre-Ordering, but gladly I can Pre-Order TTYD Remake here in Finland. I still buy the Game in it's launch day may 23.2024. 😊

Technically speaking this cancellation only applies to online preorders with Walmart and Amazon in the US. Other countries and other retailers in the US weren’t affected by this, and is likely a means of preventing anyone outside of game journalists from getting it earlier than release date, plus averting scalpers.

They oversold the amount they had, and rather than deal with people complaining their copy didn’t arrive for a day or two after, Amazon and Walmart canceled the preorders. This is their standard operating procedure. It’s happened before, it’ll happen again. And this isn’t some Nintendo issue either.

They could also be looking at a physical copy shortage. Which is absurd but if Nintendo went into the release with the premise of 'Eh it's a remake, how many physical units can it possibly move. It'll probably do better digital anyway.' then I can see how they'd screw that up.

I want to say that it potentially comes down to two reasons as to why Nintendo would do this. One is to combat scalping. Or two is that maybe someone at Nintendo came across a significant issue within the game that warranted the cancelation of preorders. It could also be a combination of both factors as well. Regardless, something is going on behind the scenes that we're simply not aware of.

I'm really hoping they don't cancel Best buy preorder's. That would really suck for those using best buy to pick up this game.

The problem with not pre ordering games is that people want to Make Sure They Get The Game No One wants to risk going to the store only to find out that they are sold out that's the whole point of Pre Orders Imo, so them doing this is sooo Dumb because you're gonna get Waaay less sales this way because certain people won't be able to buy it when they are sold out so i just hope i can get my version of the game too i also always get mine from gamestop too go figure hopefully they fix this situation soon man.

Always entertained by your content, it's awesome!

Happily I preordered with GameStop, I assume the issue with Walmart and Amazon is that they were getting millions of preorders and they don’t have that many copies of the game.

they are traumatized from the copies that get sent early sometimes

This is probably Amazon and Walmart’s fault

This is old news. This was known month ago. Endless ocean was the same way and the new luigi mansion game is also not pre orderable on walmart or amazon

The answer is Amazon and Walmart have oversold their allotted shipment. Nintendo told them you get X number of units, and Amazon and Walmart sold more preorders than they were permitted. Blame Amazon and Walmart.🤷‍♂️

Funny because my pre-order on Amazon UK is still on order, wonder if something is up in some regions that can secure copies of the game

Its cause walmart has had issues with pre-ordered games and consoles in the past. Because they will sometimes take the pre-order, pocket the money and then with some of mine in the past, they would put it on "lay-a-way" then steal the pre-orders amongst themselves. Do also note that pre-orders done through walmart are done through walmarts systems and does not actually go to the intended party. This means you pre-order the game at walmart, but nintendo won't actually see the money.. They only get notified of the pre-order. Lastly, walmart has inflated the pre-order amount before too but that access of games and consoles never actually hit store shelves. They will end up in employee pockets and holding it for themselves, and due to walmart policies, can't take them to court over such. So maybe to combat the loss in direct sales involving third parties.. Nintendo is cracking down on retail stores. And no walmart is not the only guilty one here , allot of big retailers do this same stunt.

Why dose KZread think this is about Mario maker 2

I was thinking that he was going to say they canceled the game entirely.

Could we pre-order Paper Mario A Thousand-Year Door digitally?

Sega might do this soon because people leaked Sonic Superstars gameplay when it wasn’t even released yet

i think this might be a scam because a lot of scammers are using fraudulent emails & claim that they work for giant retailers when really they just want to scare the person & that pisses me off

They definitely did it cuz of scalpers LOL

walmart and amazon probably giving copies early thats why

I actually pre-ordered it from the Nintendo eShop and it’s downloaded on my Switch. The only thing is I have to wait next week before I play it because it checks the internet to see if it’s the release date. So if anyone were to pre-order this game or any other Nintendo game, I recommend a local retailer like GameStop, or purchase it on the Nintendo eShop online where you’ll have no trouble getting it faster.

probably because they want people to touch grass? idk

Surely because those stores kept sending copies earlier than attended leading to the entire games being already leaked and online 1 week before the launch and it's surely to avoid this

I don’t know if this happened to anyone but this happened to me with Pikmin 4

Nintendo doesn't know how to run a business since the company is being run by Shark Tale (That movie scared me as a kid btw)

A few likely reasons for why this is happening. A classic case of demand outpacing supply. I won't be surprised if TTYD Switch ends up having a more limited print run given Nintendo is likely starting to shift resources to Switch 2 Trying to tamp down on scalping which probably explains why they mentioned that with WalMart it will be in store only. Nintendo likely trying to avoid a repeat of Tears of the Kingdom and Super Mario Bros Wonder.

But if you really think about it.. it makes sense. Look at what scalpers did with the releases of the PS5 and Xbox Series X for example. Scalpers aren't fans or anything, they are just in it for the money and what they do takes away from the people that work hard to make money so they can buy these games and enjoy them for what they are.
