European retailers will now be receiving Nintendo products closer to release date than before.
Nintendo confirmed to GamesIndustry.biz that it is 'consistently reviewing its shopping schedule' to ensure release dates across Europe are not broken.
A broken street date is when stores start selling products early to get a head-start over its competitors. Social media posts around the launch of Super Mario Odyssey did show that some consumers received the game ahead of its official release date, although primarily via online stores who send out products earlier to guarantee customers get their games on launch day.
