At the same token, it's Amazon, by far the biggest digital retail site in the English speaking world, if Nintendo is unable to get a new console variant up for preorder in what is three weeks from launch.....shame on them for being incompetent.
Nintendo and Amazon US are in a row right now (which is funny considering they could just drive across 520 and be at one of their headquarters) due to some reimbursement issue or something. They have never stocked the Wii U and it took forever to get the 3DS from a non marketplace seller. Don't expect them to get the new 3ds anytime soon.
Yeah Amazon and Nintendo have had some bad blood in the past and iirc it was due to the original 3DS price drop so soon after release. I just looked up those New 3DS Majora Mask and if you look those are all from third party sellers mostly like scalpers.
Amazon didn't have the Wii U except for third party sellers nor did they have the 2DS or 3DS XL. So unless you want to pay an exorbitant price from a scalper then you are going to have to pre order somewhere else like Gamestop.com, Best Buy.com or even New Egg.com

Yeah its because like I said before when the original 3DS price was dropped Nintendo didn't or refused to reimburse Amazon here in the States so Amazon said ok well we wont sell any more Nintendo systems directly. Which is a shame cause Amazon is one of my favorite online retailers, and the reason I had to preorder my Wii U from Gamestop.com here in the States.

Wow that sucks. Nintendo really needs to repair their relationship with Amazon USA. Having a huge retailer refusing to sell your products is not good at all.
Yeah I am not sure if either of them have tried to repair the relationship so I have no idea who is at fault. I dont even know if other companies like Gamestop or Bestbuy for example got reimbursement from the 3DS price drop and Amazon didn't or if Amazon just feels that they are entitled to one, still to me they should just let bygones be bygones. Besides I wonder how much money they have been lost with Wii U preorder and now New 3DS preorders.
Funny thing is though it's just consoles they still sell games like Super Smash Bros through Amazon and took preorders for the Gamecube Adapter bundle.
