Japanese customers are reporting shortages of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate days before 2018 is coming to an end.

The game is reportedly out of stock at several GEO locations and other video game retailers. It’s very unusual to see a major first party game selling out in stores, but you have to remember that many things happened after the Switch launched in 2017.

As the New Year holidays are about to begin in Japan, we might see the shortages become more serious and last through the first week of January.
