<p>After months of waiting for new games, Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate released in Europe alongside Lego City: Undercover and it must had felt like a blessing for those cradling their Wii U consoles promising it games at a later date.</p>
<p>In typical Nintendo fashion however and in a move that replicates the Japanese &#8220;Animal Crossing: New Leaf&#8221; shortages Nintendo has realized that there are stock shortages throughout Europe. Whilst many companies would simply release a press release in regards to this, Satoru Shibata, the president of Nintendo of Europe, made a more personal statement through Nintendo&#8217;s Twitter account in the form of three Tweets:</p>
<ol>
<li><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;"> <em>[Shibata] I&#8217;d like to apologise for the current stock shortage due to high demand of Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate at retail. (1/3)</em></span></li>
<li><em>[Shibata] New <a dir="ltr" href="https://twitter.com/search?q=%23MH3U&;src=hash" rel="tag" data-query-source="hashtag_click">#<b>MH3U</b></a> stock will hopefully be available in shops next week for Wii U and mid April for Nintendo 3DS. (2/3)</em></li>
<li><em>[Shibata] Both versions of <a dir="ltr" href="https://twitter.com/search?q=%23MH3U&;src=hash" rel="tag" data-query-source="hashtag_click">#<b>MH3U</b></a> are also available on Nintendo eShop. Again, I sincerely apologise for causing any inconvenience. (3/3)</em></li>
