Nintendo Engineers Need Alternative Options For Switch Shortage
The ongoing chip shortage, which has affected nearly every electronic device on the planet, has forced Nintendo to grapple with a production reduction. Nikkei Asia reports that the Kyoto-based company will make 20 percent fewer Switch consoles through the end of its fiscal year, which wraps in March. All told, that amounts to about 24 million fewer units.
On the heels of an understandably muted 2020, the past year has seen renewed vigor from Nintendo—and heightened interest from consumers as well.
2021 has, in fact, been an incredible year for the company. In March, Nintendo released a Switch version of the Wii U’s Super Mario 3D World bundled with a short but terrific game called Bowser’s Fury. That package sold nearly 6 million copies. Last month, Nintendo released a new model of the Switch, the OLED Model, with a bigger, brighter screen (but few other improvements). Like Sony’s PlayStation 5 and Microsoft’s Xbox Series X, it’s tough as hell to get your hands on one. The first Metroid game in nearly two decades, Metroid Dread, landed the same day as the OLED, to critical praise and shattered sales records. And just last week, Nintendo put a “new” Mario Party into the world. Data is still incoming, but early whispers suggest that the game is already responsible for a staggering 11 bazillion friendship endings.
