Ring Fit Adventure Stock Shortages Are Reportedly Driven By Resellers

Ring Fit Adventure, the Switch’s innovative fitness game, has been a success for Nintendo, cracking the top 10 sales charts in the US in October 2019. It has continued to do well since, again making it into the top 10 in January 2020. It’s doing so well, in fact, that some stores are facing stock shortages–and one Australian retailer has had to limit the number of copies that customers can buy, as resellers are buying multiple copies to sell at an inflated price.

Kotaku Australia is reporting that EB Games, the Australian arm of GameStop, has had to limit sales to two copies per person, as the game is being snapped by by resellers. As the rare game that is not available digitally (as it requires physical peripherals to operate), this means that many players are not able to get their hands on it.

As Kotaku Australia points out (via Abacus News), there’s also been an increase in interest towards the game in China, where the Switch recently went on sale–it represents a safe way to exercise at home amidst concerns sparked by the outbreak of the Coronavirus. Resellers have thus been able to sell the game for around double its retail price in Australia.

The Office: Jenna Fischer Reveals What Was In The Note That Jim Wrote To Pam

One enduring mystery from US version of The Office was what, exactly, was written in the note that Jim (John Krasinski) intended to give to Pam (Jenna Fischer) in a Season 2 episode.

If you need a refresher, Jim, fuelled by the Christmas spirit of telling people how you really feel, wanted to give his romantic interest Pam the perfect gift that summed up how he felt. He knew she liked tea, so he bought her a teapot and stuffed a number of other personal items into it, including a note.

However, at the last minute, Jim removes the note. We don’t see the note again until the final season of The Office, when Jim finally gives Pam the card–it’s a very emotional scene. Still, though, the contents of the note remained a mystery. Until now.
