I'm just going to keep my $80 at this point. This is too much hassle.

My wife was freaking out over it this morning. I told her after a few days of trying to get the NES classic that the novelty of the thing just isn't worth the aggravation. That same sentiment is ringing true here. I'll try to nab one, but fuck refusing to sleep or taking days off to try and get one.

GameStop is doing in store orders I guess. Try your luck there.

This is a fucking joke Nintendo.

 

[Lifeline]

Missed every store. Walmart was BS, I added it to cart as soon as it showed up.

Guess I'm waiting for the Chinese knock off instead.

 

[BasedKiliK]

I had two more in cart. Just trying to get some for my friends.

Couldn't remember my password and by the time it was reset, TOO LATE.

God fucking dammit...

 

[Sillution]

Fuck all of this.

Yep same happened to me

 

[Zutrax]

Of fucking course my work has to have a mandatory meeting for literally during the time period all these pre-orders are going live. I'm still stuck here until 1PM and can't even get out to go to Gamestop for those yet. This is complete bullshit.

 

[Draper]

Yep at the moment, we are so screwed

Eh, I have 2 from the UK, and 2 from Best Buy, so I'm good.

Will probably sell them at MSRP on GAF

 

[Inspector Jones]

I never got a notification from Amazon that it went up for sale. Is anybody certain there preorders already went up?

 

[friskykillface]

I'm going in store now
It's amiibo wave 3 all over again

 

[Synless]

GameStop is doing in store orders I guess. Try your luck there.

Can you do in store and then have them ship? I ask because I'm moving in two weeks.

 

[Username1198]

You can buy 2 Raspberry Pis for 79.99
Just sayin.

Yea but I'm too stupid to know what to do or make it work!

 

[Snkfanatic]

Just got one at Circuit City

Got mine preorderd at Roses

 

[Hoho for breakfast]

Man people are going to be so (rightfully) pissed at Nintendo. Walmart and Target were available for a combined 1 minute? It's just crazy. There's no excuse either.

 

[SomewhatGroovy]

The internet was a mistake.

It gives people like you a platform to gloat about multiple orders from walmart and one from target. It can't be THAT bad.

 

[Sigma722]

I don't think anyone here got in at target did they?

 

[GeorgioCostanzaX]

God-tier Trolling from Target requiring everyone to re-enter their credit card information.

WOW.

I know right? Such bullshit I had it saved already.

 

[Sanjuro]

Got mine preorderd at Roses

Lechmere is up!

 

[vgamer1]

I never got a notification from Amazon that it went up for sale. Is anybody certain there preorders already went up?

Yep.

 

[SkyTurnsRed]

Officially done with Nintendo. Fuck them.

No you aren't. You'll be back.

 

[Barry Burton]

This is infuriating.

 

[burgerdog]

SIGNIFICANTLY MORE

my ass.

At least you got one.

 

[owlbeak]

Fuck Target, and Fuck Nintendo.

Re-enter your card info, website slow as shit, then "Something went wrong" and then "you have no items in your cart, also these are out of stock now". I have a Euro version preordered on Amazon.de, but I think I'm just gonna cancel. Fuck nintendo for this unnecessary bullshit. They don't deserve money for this sort of shit.

 

[Elginer]

Got mine, may the odds be ever in your favor friends.

 

[Mihalis0013]

You have an awesome wife.

e/

No doubt!!!

 

[Instro]

Just got one at Circuit City

I got my Wii from Circuit City .

 

[Naked Snake]

I don't think anyone here got in at target did they?

they did.

 

[Quonny]

Yep. I'm done.

Anyone have a link to where I can get some more information on some retro emulation/whatever consoles and controllers? GAF thread, news article, wiki, whatever.

I really just wanted to get this for my wife, but I'm not messing with this garbage anymore.

 

[DaBuddaDa]

I don't think anyone here got in at target did they?

My order went through. I lucked out--randomly refreshed the page and saw it change to "preorder" before any tweet or post went out.

 

[Kusagari]

So is Gamestop's in store system even working?

 

[LiK]

At least you got one.

my friend missed out cuz he's working and i'm at lunch.

 

[whalesex]

The Target thing was awful. I was literally refreshing the page the second they went live and even though I was able to auto-fill my information, it was still too late. I genuinely think they had 50 available or something. I've never felt so close yet so far away.

 

[Hoho for breakfast]

I never got a notification from Amazon that it went up for sale. Is anybody certain there preorders already went up?

Yes they were up at a ridiculous time early in the morning. You missed it.

 

[cordy]

10 per store? Wow.

This is some bullshit.

 

[ricelord]

how many can we preoder at gamestop? Gonna try to get me and a friend one.

 

[Geeun]

This is a shit show

 

[maxcriden]

So is Gamestop's in store system even working?

They said when I called that it wasn't in the system yet but should be any time.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Has Nintendo commented on better availability or is this going to be another NES mini situation?

They claim there will be higher supply but the potential problems with that is that A) AFAIK we have no idea what that means. How much more? and B) it's possible the demand for hte SNES will be even higher. Even though the NES sold more in it's prime, the SNES seems to hit the nostalgia spot of current consumers even more so. It's like right in the millennial childhood wheelhouse.

 

[ShadowKingpin]

10 per store? Wow.

This is some bullshit.

Wait, what?!?

 

[Mazre]

I had two more in cart. Just trying to get some for my friends.

Couldn't remember my password and by the time it was reset, TOO LATE.

God fucking dammit...

Happened to me too fuck no guest checkout (target mobile)

 

[Lionheart1827]

WTF, Target you have to re-enter your credit card into, having it on file is pointless.

Yup I'm pretty sure this messed me up. I had a credit card on file this morning at 9am, made sure it was correct, then it re-asked me to put everything in again

 

[thetruth1983]

I'm hauling ass to GameStop now. I hope I don't have an accident.

 

[Sanjuro]

It gives people like you a platform to gloat about multiple orders from walmart and one from target. It can't be THAT bad.

It's about damn time!

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

Oh damn. GS preorders are in store.

https://twitter.com/GameStop/status/900043899208687617

lol gamestop is smart. just called a store and they said people are there in line already and calling in too.

probably hoping bring foot traffic in today

 

[Agent_Carnage]

GS Emailed me this
You asked us to give you a heads-up when the Nintendo SNES Classic Edition system was available. Good news, friend! We're ready to take pre-orders!
But they won't be around for long. Quantities are super limited. So stop reading the rest of this sentence and pre-order your Nintendo SNES Classic in-store or online at GameStop.com now!

They might have online pre orders?

 

[moltonasty]

Nintendo truly hates us all

 

[friskykillface]

Yeesh 10 per store would be insane

 

[a916]

Another launch, another bungled release... Nintendo is incapable of meeting demand or inept at calculating demand.

 

[Havok1313]

I don't think anyone here got in at target did they?

I was damn close, out of stock right at the last stage.

I got my best buy order in but I'm trying to get one for my brother -_-

 

[charpunk]

So glad they made a significant amount more.

Fucking asshats.

 

[shandy706]

My order went through. I lucked out--randomly refreshed the page and saw it change to "preorder" before any tweet or post went out.

This is how I got one from Wal-Mart. Said "pre-order" before I got any notifications.
