Nintendo opened pre-orders for the Xenoblade Chronicles 3 special edition bundle four hours ago. But since then, the online store’s been unstable as folks rush to drop money on the collector’s item.
“We apologize for any inconvenience that you may be experiencing while attempting to pre-order the Xenoblade Chronicles 3 special edition,” Nintendo’s official Twitter account said less than 30 minutes after pre-orders opened this morning. “The My Nintendo Store is experiencing a high volume of traffic and we appreciate your patience while we look into the issue.”
The store listing linked by Nintendo displays a similar message, warning customers they’ve been put in a queue and will be removed should they refresh or close the page. Some claim they’ve stayed on the page for more than hour without any movement, while others mention the short animation loop freezing and leaving them confused about their status.
Furthermore, those who manage to reach the Xenoblade Chronicles 3 special edition listing often find the pre-order button grayed out and non-functional.
