John Donnellan, the head of Ecommerce at Nintendo UK said that “We’re excited to be adding Merchandise to the Official Nintendo Online Store offering,”and that We’re often asked why Limited Edition or Official items aren’t available in the UK, so it’s great to be able to offer fans a hub for purchasing them. We’re looking forward to being able to broaden this selection by adding further limited edition and exclusive items to the site over the coming months.”
