There are some rather disingenuous and misleading inclusions in this “sale”.
There is only ONE copy of Wolfenstein: Youngblood left in the country (which can only be bought in-store, and I dread to contemplate what kind of state the packaging would be in after countless customers have poked and prodded it), and the special edition of Fire Emblem: Three Houses was PRE-SOLD out, and I don’t believe that it had ever been restocked (yet EB have left it viewable on their site for whatever reason).
Likewise, I don’t think that the Link’s Awakening special edition was ever restocked either (surely that would have sold out shortly after release?) and that is completely sold out too, rendering its inclusion in the sale (and in turn, this article) redundant. I absolutely refuse to believe that either of these limited editions wouldn’t have sold out quickly at FULL PRICE.
Fire Emblem Warriors/Echoes had limited editions that remained in stock long after release which I can only attribute to Nintendo’s stupidity as they never seem to restock limited editions that are actually in demand (especially Fire Emblem Fates with its exclusive three-in-one cartridge and to a lesser extent, the Pokémon Sword/Shield dual pack).
I certainly wouldn’t put it past EB to leave these sorts of SKUs on their database to give their “sales” a false sense of prestige in order to lure customers in the hope that they might find a few gems (though most of the actual “sale” items are still cheaper elsewhere, and likely in better condition too).
