Nintendo Temporarily Stops Domestic Switch Shipments Due to Coronavirus

Nintendo has temporarily halted any domestic shipments of the Nintendo Switch due to the effects of the Coronavirus on parts manufacturing, shipping, and distribution, the Chinese plague once again throwing a wrench into the plans of businesses.

A statement covering the matter:

Nintendo outsources production of the game consoles to plants in China and Vietnam. The company announced a delay in shipments of the products in February due to the impact of the coronavirus outbreak.

Production has yet to fully recover, a public relations official said.

The officials said that the company has been facing a shortage of the products also due to a surge in demand stemming from requests for avoiding nonessential outings and emergency school closures that have been made as part of efforts to contain the coronavirus spread.

At the same time, the company announced that shipments for European and US markets and to customers that have already ordered their consoles will continue.

It has not been declared when the Nintendo Switch shipments will resume.
