Is Walmart selling these now? Like it's 3 am est if I go down to walmart (Brickseek show's my local one has 2 in stock) Can I buy it now?
It depends on the store. You can try calling or driving by. Some places were doing lines, some weren't selling until the morning, and some didn't have any shipments in the whole district.
 
Gamestop was selling them, but I didn't go through with the order since they charge shipping on it ;p. I think it is dead now or dying lol.
 
I think I got my order in time at Gamestop? I got email from Paypal saying money wont leave my account till Gamestop processes it. Hope it went through,.
 
The stupid GameStop site makes me reset my password every time I try to check out, even if I'm able to log in to view my account info normally. After I reset my password, I was able to get in and add to cart, but proceeding to checkout made the site crash and give me a link to return to the home page. After a few rounds of that, it looks like the entire site is dead now. :| I guess its just as well. They charge like $5-7 for the slowest shipping speed.

Looks like I can get the main site to load, but any attempt to interact with the cart results in a long delay, then a crash. Good times!
 
I'm gonna try my local Best Buy in the morning, I think. There's just one here. My area definitely has a pretty dedicated Nintendo following given how the Switch launch turned out (plenty of units but plenty of people also showed up without preorders) and just how damn impossible it is to get preorders or day 1 walk-ins for amiibo releases, but it doesn't seem as fiercely cutthroat as my hometown was. I've generally had "walk-in" success for everything shy of amiibo around here, though I didn't try for an NES Classic last year... Supply for those was so short that it was nearly impossible to get everywhere, it seems.

Feels kinda like 50/50 odds, and I do want one.
 
Some walmarts near me show stock, I wonder if it's real?

It's real, except if they opened at midnight they are probably sold out already lol.




For anyone that still needs one, that gamestop bundle with wireless controller isn't bad since that controller sounds pretty sweet. Anyone have a review up for the Hori wireless controller?
 
If I recall correctly, the GameStop site crashed so hard when they put up preorders a month or two ago that they basically had to take it down. I'm not surprised it's broken again.
 
Got an order from ThinkGeek, already got my confirmation number. Bless the gaffer who said they'd be selling this earlier today. You made my day.

edit: damn site already crashed RIP

Holy crap. I didn't realize how small it is. Damn!
 
damn scalpers. craigslist, amazon, ebay already full of them... i hope the scalpers flood the channels and inventory actually does keep replenishing at stores... if not, then i'm just going to have to say f u, nintendo.
 
I got an email from Royal Mail that my order is being delivered today. \o/

Between that and the Easy Allies SNES Mini 8 hour stream, looks like there's a lot of retro goodness in store for me today.
 
Wario64 is my personal hero. Managed to snag one through Thinkgeek just now, probably before the site crashes.

Seriously. Bless the man or robot. He has helped me build my game and artbook collection over the past few years. Hope everyone who got shitted on by Walmart or Amazon got an order through. I knew a 3am alarm wouldn't be for nothing. Back to bed.
