Just got mine. It's so little and dinky!

I'm divided on the decision to put US games on EU consoles, though. On one hand, I like having the 60Hz versions of games, but on the other, the French/German versions are missing, and all the on-screen controllers use the Purple Horror controller.

This is why I hope hax comes quickly
 
8bitdo put out preorders for their new 2.4g super nes controller.

Has anyone used the SF30s and wireless receiver from nes classic on this one? Feels like they're aiming for the pockets with this one.

Walmart is STILL Preparing. Fuck this.

Exactly why I woke my ass up at 3am with fingers crossed. Walmart is bullshitting and I won't support it.
 
Waited an hour and half and got my golden ticket at Best Buy. They will hold it reservations until 1 PM, so for those that miss out, go check out BB to see if anyone didnt pick up their res and they should probably sell it to you.

Got to Best Buy at 6:30, by 7:15, I had a ticket. By 7:16, the MOD said that everyone in line HAD to stay in line for the next 3 hours until the store opened at 10, and if you left for any reason, even to go to your car to wait, you'd lose your ticket. I handed my ticket back, telling them it was bullshit, that BBY has never done that before, and that I'm an educator who has to get to work so children can learn. The guy claimed it was "corporate policy", which is total bullshit as well, as your story shows.

Had my wife check at Target at 8, and it was already sold out.
 
SNES went from Texas to Illinois in about a 24 hour period.

I wonder how likely it is that it gets to Long Island by tomorrow morning and in my hands by tomorrow afternoon.

Either way I’m guessing it will beat the listed 10/6 delivery date from FedEx.
 
Any idea when a restock is supposed to hit? I am hoping the restock is the numbers at release which will mean us schleps at work may get one.
 
Can anyone confirm there's slowdowns in smw in yoshi's island 4 stage, especially when those spiked things are onscreen? You can try to replicate it in the spot where you pick up the star: wait for the spiked things to appear and jump towards the water.
I can't remember there being slowdowns in the same spot on original hardware (or i was too Young to care :p) .
 
This Wal-Mart shit is so odd. They shipped mine, but didn't ship it. Says still waiting on fed ex to ship. So it still hasn't moved in a 24 hr period. Also, they haven't charged me yet. I lost my bank card last night and would like to cancel the card. Others have cards being charged and not shipped. If its shipped, what happens if i cancel my card? I get a free snes? Weird.
 
I was a little pissed when Gamestop left a voicemail telling me I have until the end of the day to pick it up or else. Like, dude, I paid it off already, how you gonna just give my shit away?
 
Seems like most people who wanted one on launch day are getting theirs. Great to hear! A different story than the NES Classic launch. Best Buy is delivering mine today, so I am good.

Yup, had that as well. Mildly disappointing to say the least, but it didn't happen anywhere else for me.

Sorry to hear that man. That MOD seems like he was on a power trip. Stay in line for another 3 hours?? WTF is that shit. Take that to social media.
 
Super Metroid is fucking having my ass. Can't get past the second boss where you need to push the cunt back into lava. Doesnt matter how much i shoot that fucker in the mouth he still walks to me.

This makes me rage quit games.
 
I was wondering if it is normal that mine got this little notch in the SNES logo:

I'm not sure if it's supposed to look like that.
 
For anyone in center city Philadelphia, I'm not sure if eirher Target here ever actually got any, but if they did, they're both sold out.

Come to the GameStop on Market street if you can. There’s four of us waiting and 21 units available. It’s first come first serve. Store opens at 10.

My BestBuy just handed out tickets and told everyone to be back within 3 hours. I didn't even wait in line, I just drove up to the curb beside the store and they handed me a ticket through the car window. I'll drive back later this morning after they open and pick it up.
 
Absolutely livid with Smyths. They said I needed to update my payment details, so I attempted to, and the website just kept acting as if nothing had been input. So I contacted their customer services (they claim they have a live chat function but none seemed to be available on the site), and customer services said they would take 24 hours to get back to me. The same amount of time it would take for the order to be cancelled. So the only response I've got back from customer services is them forwarding me the link to the website once again, and then telling me my order was being cancelled because I didn't update my details.

Time to raise a stink.
 
Got to my Walmart last night at 10:15. I was #19 in line. Store received 19 units.

Good Luck to everyone on the search today and in the future.
 
Houston area best buys got the most stock. Pasadena store got over 200
Christ almighty!
I’m at the Memorial City Mall Target and there’s like 70-ish. More than the amount of people in line. After this, straight to work for the day! 🙄
 
Walked into Target 15 minutes after they opened and picked one up. 1 guy was in front of me. Drove past Best Buy and saw 20 people in line and laughed.

Edit: Newnan, GA for reference.

My Target handed out tickets at 7:45am, and even though the ticket had written on it that you had until 9am to pick it up or the ticket would be void, they told folks they couldn't leave and come back. Thankfully it was only 15 minutes but I really wanted a shower and get ready for work.

At least I got one, and was home in time to get my kid to the bus.
