Target had pre-orders a while back for the US.

This product is not for me, but it seems like they executed it as well as I could have expected for what it is and the price!
What apps do you use for Amazon price tracking? That sounds like something I should check out.

Target and Toys R Us.
I have a Target pre-order but I'm expecting it to get cancelled at some point. They clearly took orders without having an allocation # from NoA.
Yup makes no sense I thought last week when they started back talking about it and the famicon mini they would have opened it, but nope
there is an browser extension named Keepa, I have it se up with Firefox, but it might work on others too. this has been my main source of price and stock tracking at amazon, it basically tracks the amazon prices of used, new and collectible products and shows how it have been behaving in any period of time as a very nice graph of prices, including every category or only the ones selected.
This extension has been amazing, it can even set up alerts for different items and then when the product drops in the desired category below the ranged price, it sends an email to alert of the price. I have been tracking NES Mini since I installed the extension and the status info shows no prices whatsoever in any period of time, so it has never been in stock. (besides I have an alert for when it comes in stock)
curiously enough, I think it was someone on this same thread who suggested the extension.

Not necessarily true. This may be a case where they utilize exclusive retailers until they produce enough to meet demand.

Thousands of people like myself outside of the US but in the Americas are at the mercy of Amazon. Pretty much the only reliable place that accepts international cards. Who do I have to run up there and slap?
mainly in Latin America. I don't even know if the thing has been announce for someday on this part of the world.

Maybe. The fact that Target puts a hold for $65 on my bank account every two weeks makes me think otherwise though. They seem to be trying to weed out folks who don't have the funds, so they can cancel as many pre-orders as possible, since they probably overshot their estimates.

I wonder if I'll have a Famicom Mini (which I do have a pre-order for) in-hand before I have a NES Mini.

Yeah, I had this on preorder w/ Target here in the U.S....but I had to update my credit card info, and that's apparently a no-go with them. After having a $65 hold on my account off and on for months, they just up and cancelled the thing. This happened literally minutes after my girlfriend spent 45 minutes on the phone with them to confirm that changing the card would not be a problem (I had to as my bank are requiring all debit cards to be chipped now).
Target and their customer service are some of the worst in the business. I won't be preordering with them ever again.

Trying working for the company and having to deal with them and an angry customer. It's the absolute worst. Their customer service is disgraceful.

I was shocked that there was no apparent means to change the payment method for a preorder. I feel for some of the workers that have to deal with the corporate BS (I've spent some time in retail, myself), but the customer service agent was particularly dense according to my girlfriend. After putting her on hold for 5 minutes to check into the matter, the agent comes back on the line and says, "Ok, I can go ahead and cancel your preorder for you!" After it was explained (again) that we definitely did not want it cancelled, my gf spoke to the next level of support. She was assured that since we updated the card number under our account info, everything would be fine. Well, that was not true at all. She called back again after getting the cancellation email and was basically told that there was nothing they could do. Where did our preorder go? Just disappeared into the mist?
Anyway, looks like I'm camping out for this thing. I sure hope there is ample supply and other online orders go up. One would think, since Nintendo don't exactly have a ton of product to push this holiday.

If I was feeling particularly jackassey I would make a Case for Nintendo Classic Mini Now Available for Pre-Order thread, but I thought better of it.

Sure enough only on Amazon.com. Canada sucks.
Preordered at Target 2 months ago.

If no pre-orders it means they will have enough time stock right? I hope so

Just like old times. I remember when they made cases like this in the NES days.

My Target preorder got cancelled because my credit card on file had not been updated in time after it expired. I have a pain in my heart now.

Heh, that's cute.
Now all they have to do put Duck Hunt on the thing and make a NEZ Zapper Mini.

Put a brown filter over that and slap that on a Sears catalogue.

Is Nintendo going to open the hotline back up for when I get stuck in Zelda?
You can always look the walkthrough up in the current issue of Nintendo Power.
They should release a special issue to make this perfect.

Does that make me a bad person to have checked target just now to see if a preorder was available on their site?

Realistically, they probably want to sell people this hardcover guide that launches the same day as the microconsole (only contains full walkthoughs for Super Mario Bros. 3, Donkey Kong, and The Legend of Zelda though).

oh snap, this would be nice to plug into the Wiimote! I assume it should be compatible right?

Huh, I wonder what the quality of that thing's like.
Toys r us and Target both had preorders. I got one from target.
Sorry, mentioned multiple times already.

I don't think they've gone up on Amazon, unless they went up once and disappeared immediately (which admittedly could have happened). The link to Amazon is on the official website.

How long is the wait for a SNES Mini likely to be?
Exact same boat. Didn't get any notice to update it, just a straight up cancel lol.
Probably a year at the absolute earliest, and only if this product is very successful (which I expect it will be).

Off topic but I wish Nintendo would do an artbook for the Mario series like they did with Zelda. I was looking through the little artbook that came with the Mario All-Stars Anniversary for Wii and thought it would be great to have a full sized book.
Me, too. Horrendous, self-defeating policy.

Yeah, I think this will sell well but it won't be some sort of Furby-level blowout item.

Yes, it would work like a classic controller

Shame I can't use my original NES arcade stick :*(
I'd love a return to 90's styling...so nostalgic.
