I wonder if Indigo will get the NES Minis at some point, they seem like the kind of boutique electronics item Indigo would sell. I have a bunch of gift card value and I just wanna buy a spare controller...

 

[Toshin]

It's flickering, still up on mine.

noooooo

 

[leeman]

I kinda doubt it but wow if true...

No one fucking noticed it...

This is a lie, unless they had, like, 2 of them. I've been watching since the second they were listed.

Yup me too. They lied or are wrong (given the knowledge that social media coordinators get they could very well be wrong).

I won't even bother with TRU anyway but it's one more option I guess.

I just replied to the tweet asking them what time they went up online

I think the Geek Squad pop-up screwed me out of one on the Best Buy site....DAMN.

There's 100s of people of buying this and like 2 of you all are gonna play it. Chill out, everyone.

 

[r3n4ud]

What's funny is that I'm sure some people only want it because of the hype/rarity. Crazy how the mind works.

 

[The Main Event]

Put my name on a list at my local Best Buy for the NES mini. They already had around 100 names on it already. What are you doing Nintendo.

Nintendo are MASTERS at this phenomenon...

im tellng ya man, theyre doing all this to make people nostalgic for the 80s :lol

 

[SumptuousLemur]

I went to the largest Wal Mart in my area that got 24 NES consoles and 3 controllers.

Arrived at 6am and was third. Got the console and controller.

The line swelled to 40+ and they had to start sending people away by 6:45am but more people kept coming. Nintendo failed massively today.

 

[sikkinixx]

I wandered into the Wal Mart at 11 this morning and asked about controllers.

Dude was like "yeah I just put two in the cabinet, want them?"

So I walked out with a controller for myself and my friend, who just bought his system at that same wal mart four hours earlier.

 

[r3n4ud]

Yep. The perfect setup for the Switch :/

Bait and Switch

 

[leeman]

Absolutely! Man, Nintendo couldn't ask for a better hype builder for the Switch. Tons of Nintendo retro fans are going to be interested in Nintendo all over again. I have to applaud the brilliance, though I almost wonder if it was sheer luck?

 

[r3n4ud]

Spoiler

Bait and Switch

lol

Pretty much

 

[Lostconfused]

It's not so much Nintendo as everyone here.

This thread exploded since the moment you people couldn't buy another of those things nintendo is selling.

SNES classic edition will be something special.

 

[The Omega Man]

SNES classic edition will be something special.

I will fight everybody for that one, you guys back off!

 

[leeman]

SNES classic edition will be something special.

This. So much this.

 

[MarkusRJR]

SNES classic edition will be something special.

Chrono Trigger better be on it!

Personally I'm much more excited for the N64 Classic Edition. I love the N64 and regularly play N64 games. Curious if they're planning to do one, since it's only 20 years old.

 

[zroid]

SNES classic edition will be something special.

i will line up for as many hours as necessary for this one

 

[whitehawk]

pls nintendo

 

[HamsterPackage]

About half a hour till Amazon.ca stock goes up....Pray for me.

 

[r3n4ud]

Holy fuck ya. I'd pack my camping gear shit and set shop for however long is needed.

 

[sikkinixx]

SNES classic edition will be something special.

Speculation time: do they a) cut down the number of games or b) raise the price to $80USD? Because I don't think they'll keep the $2/game pricing with more beefy games.

 

[Fuzzy]

SNES classic edition will be something special.

I have a SNES SCART cable and a Framemeister but I'll still get this.

 

[The Elite]

Wonder whether I should go straight for the bundle or if that's a risk.

 

[Fularu]

Wonder whether I should go straight for the bundle or if that's a risk.

Going for both

Canceling later in case

 

[Fuzzy]

Wonder whether I should go straight for the bundle or if that's a risk.

I'll only try for the bundle and then hope for restocks. I'm in no hurry since I got my Famicom mini in the mail today from Amazon Japan.

The Nintendo Entertainment System: NES Classic Edition system is a hot item, and we are working hard to keep up with consumer demand. There will be a steady flow of additional systems through the holiday shopping season and into the new year. Please contact your local retailers to check product availability. A selection of participating retailers can be found at
http://www.nintendo.com/en_CA/nes-classic

Reads like damage control/calming down the enthusiasts. At least NoC is acknowledging the high demand.

They same the same for the wii...

Stores were getting 2-3 units every week or so.

 

[Xenoflare]

Is there a site where it tracks eShop sales for the 3DS? Nintendos own site is incredibly inconvenient.

 

[antibolo]

If there's a "steady flow" coming then why not just fucking let us pre-order the fucking thing like every other high-demand product.

 

[imBask]

I could leave work and go home for the weekend but i'm refreshing Amazon.ca instead because I lost control of my life

 

[Fuzzy]

hows the fami mini anyway? get some time in with it yet?

It's great, I just need a longer HDMI cable so I can play at a comfortable distance.

Perfect for tiny hands.

I do want one.

I don't have small hands and it's comfortable.

 

[antibolo]

POTUS-sized controllers.

 

[doctorcdcs]

POTUS-sized controllers.

More like:

"The official controller of the President of the United States"

Will sell like hotcakes, I tells ya!

Amazon, you can do this.

 

[tiijj]

The good thing about amazon is that they have excellent servers.

The Wii shipped more units in its first year than the PS4 in its first two.

Nintendo created no shortages, people wanted it THAT bad.
