Damn. Lake Mary, FL Walmart line had all classics accounted for already. Guess I missed them handing out tickets. Folks brought camping chairs, and the line snaked front electronics to men’s clothes. Just like the console launches of yesteryear.

Oh well. I have a feeling I’ll be able to snag one eventually.

 

[hydragonwarrior]

Super missles man, fire and forget.

We only remember that through lotsa speedrun watching lol. I think our first times (without a guide) you're overwelmed with all the junk he throws at you.

 

[mrchad]

What's the word on 24-hour Walmarts?

Anyone have any news from South Florida?

If you're not in line already, you probably missed out.

 

[Instro]

Dude at Walmart just walked by and told people in line we couldn’t sit on the ground because management will think we have a medical issue, and we can’t sit in chairs.

It’s getting real over here!

Better get ready to fight your way to a SNES.

 

[breadtruck]

Good luck guys. I aint getting sucked into this shitshow.
Ill be snoring like a log come midnight.

 

[panama chief]

Walmart manager just walked by told about 20 of us that were sitting there that she's not going to have any and she's not sure when they will be coming in. What the fuck?


Turtle run, Coral Springs, FL

 

[AlexFlame116]

I completely forgot that this can be modded! That means that I can add Final Fantasy IV, ActRaiser and Soul Blazer! Plus the other obvious ones.

 

[That Damn Kid]

I thought about going to Meijer tonight but it's probably too late now

All the systems were backdoored, RIP

 

[CrowdChant]

EDIT: This post previously had stock info for a PA Wal-Mart but it’s filling up now. No sense in making a trip.

 

[Alex_Mexico]

Guys please do you know if Amazon is putting this thing for sale in one hour (midnight ET)????

 

[ULTROS!]

I was able to grab 2 units. One for my friend who's asking me to buy for him.

I don't think there is any indication of online sales tonight, but who knows.

Lol don't see how that's likely considering they're having a hard enough time as is fulfilling orders for the folks who've already pre-ordered from them.

 

[PikkonX]

😂 That's the one!

 

[Earthbound64]

USPS: "Expected Delivery By: Thursday, September 28, 2017"

Considering it's 10:56PM, I'm not expecting that to happen
Ah well, tomorrow.

 

[MThanded]

Man i was gonna go lineup but the real question I have to ask myself is why...

 

[mrchad]

Amazon still can't get their stock situation sorted out for pre-orders, so I doubt they will have it up tomorrow.

 

[vgamer1]

Friend said the Walmart he was at was doing 2 per person. People at the back of the line were pissed.

 

[shoepolishsmelling]

Anyone in the Colorado springs area seeing any lines?

 

[foladar]

With a Best buy in-store pickup, once it switches to "Ready for pickup" does that mean they've picked it and put it aside? A bit afraid of Best Buy selling my preorder since they've done it with games before.

think of all those gaming uncles who need gifts!

Yes, that's separate.

 

[ProjectOmega2x]

And of course Walmart gave out 2 tickets to the first ones that wanted one. The last ticket went to the asshat in front of me. Go fuck yourselves, Walmart...

 

[TheContact]

I think amazon is gonna fuck me. Ordered it day1 still no confirmation when It’s going to arrive. Oh well I’m in no rush tbh

Amazon has it listed with 100% 1star reviews lol. Seriously fuck Nintendo. They’re always too conservative with supply Vs demand. I could understand if it was once or twice, but they never learn from their mistakes. What a shit company. Idiots.

 

[Josh5890]

As someone who received theirs today and loves it at first sight, I really hope all of you manage to score one tonight or tomorrow.

Holy shit.

 

[DarkWish]

Crap. Went to the Sterling, VA Wal-Mart an hour and a half early and the line was already capped at 30. Guess I gotta get up extra early and try for Target.

 

[SchrodingerC]

Damn it, Best Buy is doing their thing around 7am.
Ugh, I hate early morning product promotions.

 

[LowParry]

WalMart here won't sell till 5am. And they're 24 hour. Go fig eh?

Just chill unless u have no job and no other games to play. It will become available eventually. I did this with the switch and I barley play it since I work so GD much and have kids

 

[ScaryShark]

I wonder if people are already lining up.

I was going to go around 5 am but based on the posts here I’d probably be SOL.

 

[Earthbound64]

Best Buy Order Status: From 09/29/2017-10/04/17, you can pick up pre-order BBY01-[###] @ TOWN STATE. Bring ID, order # & credit card (if used).

Yay.

 

[Username1198]

Damn fam Walmart already handing out tickets? I'm fucked damnit

 

[superdeluxe]

Friend said the Walmart he was at was doing 2 per person. People at the back of the line were pissed.

The rule was everyone in line gets one, then if you have leftovers you can give out a 2nd. Looks like the employees couldn't follow simple instructions

 

[tesqui]

Seems like this thing is gonna be a bit popular huh?

 

[Tabasco]

The electronics section at my Walmart isn't even picking up the phone, good grief.

 

[foladar]

4 people at Best Buy and 4 at Target here west of Orlando. A smaller city outside of Orlando.

Snes is still the best console to ever be released imo. Will be for a long time. Plus, star fox 2

lol, RIP.

I really, really want this thing but I don’t want to stand on the side of a Best Buy for 8 hours.

 

[ULTROS!]

I was the only one who lined up for the opening lol.

But people will get it during lunch time.

 

[PhoncipleBone]

Number 5 in line at Meijer in southern KY. They have 8 systems. Good timing.

 

[PepsimanVsJoe]

Well that sucked.

I dropped my the local 24 hour Walmart on the way home.
There were two other people waiting for SNES classics.

Should've been a done deal right? Wrong.

The classics never arrived.
Walmart sez they might get them in tomorrow by 7 or 10 am.
Not even fucking worth it at this point.

If I ever get one, great.
If not, eh...it's $80+tax going right back into my pocket.

EDIT: This is in Florida BTW.

 

[Earthbound64]

Truth.

 

[Blizzard]

I'd make them the last choice. As other people in Florida said, a bunch of stores apparently didn't get any shipment at all.

Target seems the most stocked in general, but according to brickseek only a few Florida Targets have any as well.

 

[Naked Snake]

I don't think getting these will get any easier after launch... If you missed your chance today, I wish you luck in the future because you'll need it.

 

[TheContact]

Really cannot believe people are lining up for this. The system will be readily available shortly.

 

[Gaiaknight]

5th in line at Howell in walmart they confirmed they have 27 and there is currently 9 people.

 

[Inferno313]

Really cannot believe people are lining up for this. The system will be readily available shortly.

Just like the NES Classic...

Wait

 

[LowParry]

Was Amazon doing anything tonight other than pre-orders?
