What is the advice for going then? They open at 8. Would 7 be good??
I had a chance for one tonight but I passed so my friend could give it to his nephews. I figured I could afford eBay if it comes to that.

I'm getting tired of checking my Walmart order obsessively. I wish it would either ship or get cancelled - I am getting to the point where I don't care which just lemme know so I can stop wondering.
Bloody hell. It just makes me more annoyed since I want to get a 2nd one, but it's to help get one for my best friend who's equally, if not a bit more excited to own one. I cannot wait to hear him talk about Super Mario RPG, one of the games he's never played but I know he'll love.
& they're right about the whole Raspberry Pi deal. I can't just "click" with using emulators because they feel off, especially since I never use my laptop for gaming. I want to play the game with an actual controller on my TV with a game console, be it the original cartridge or disc or via official port. Plus not everyone is tech savvy enough to know how to program a Raspberry Pi, let alone know that it exists. Yeah, I'll probably hack some games onto the SNES Classic, but it'll feel a little better being able to play it with the original controller on a TV.
At the very least I was able to get a pre-order that wasn't cancelled, but it's getting frustrating that Amazon still hasn't given us any update on our orders.

It was amazing at the time. Shit framerates were tolerable back then as a kid even though the pc had stuff running better obviously.

Got my pre-order today with people lining up before and after me, all getting the snes 
This thing is great, and I'll get a lot of playtime out of it I'm sure
Don't like what I've seen of starfox 2 so far though, kind of a bummer.
Starfox 1 on the other hand, still fun as all hell.

Is anyway who got the Hori Fighting Commander wireless controller having any issues?
Got one from GameStop. Put in new AA alkaline batteries and plugged in the wireless receiver into the SNES Classic, and the "low battery" flashing red LED on the controller appears. A flashing red LED appears on the wireless receiver as well. No button inputs are recognized by the SNES Classic.
Took it back and exchanged for another one. Same issue. Tried a different brand of batteries, the store employee even helped me test both controllers...no luck. They only had three in stock and I didn't really wanna have to open all of them to try to find one that works.
I want this controller for the Classic and Wii VC games but when two different brand new ones give me the same "low battery" indicator and no connection, I have my doubts. I emailed HORI and will update if I hear anything.
Is this a widespread thing or do I just have bad luck?

This was probably posted, but this is kind of crazy to me the love Bethesda is giving Nintendo after all these decades.

Had the complete opposite experience. I spent 4.5 hours in line at Walmart last night and everyone in line was either getting it for themselves or were parents getting it for their kids. Everyone was super friendly and we were all talking about how excited we were for various games on the Classic.
There are some Walmart stores near me that show negative numbers (-41). Not sure how accurate Brickseek is, but I'm using it as another way to gauge if a store receives a shipment of items aside from calling.

Skeptical. Brickseek shows 27 units at a local Walmart that I know has to be bunk - I bet that location just hasn't updated their system or something with the latest inventory.

God bless you sir or madam.
It was an instant classic and highly beloved.
Was much easier for us to acclimate then to the performance than it would be for newcomers today. Motivation to do so was far stronger when our collective jaws were on the floor, it was a visual experience unlike what most households had ever witnessed. Now its merely abject curiosity forcing you to condition to sub teen fps.
Nobody really chatted in our line. Everyone just kept to themselves. However, when we got inside the store to purchase, when people were walking out they had big smiles and sounded excited. Some people with their friends were taking pictures with it. There also weren't any groans when the lady came out to tell people it was one per person. They actually cheered a little.
Anyway, finally got to play it and I was loving every moment! Felt like a kid again. Super Mario World was the first video game I ever played, so I went that route again. Then I played some Star Fox to unlock 2. Then I played a little Kirby and Street Fighter. Is there a thread of like, cheats/codes for the games?

They can thank me later. They'll also be getting complimentary jokes and quotes

The flight plan I just filed with the agency list me, my men, Dr. Pavel here. But only one of you!

I hear ya man. I'm in 8/25 order too so apparently in the "safe" group but still no sign of shipping.

I microwave steaks.
no and no, only classic controllers and the like.
Amazon pre-orders still haven't shipped, let alone been updated with a shipping date.
It still says:
"Nintendo Digital Downloads/Game Trust Entertainment System: Super NES Classic Edition
Sold by: Amazon.com LLC"
I made the pre-order at about 4:50 a.m. Eastern & it still says "Delivery estimate: We need a little more time to provide you with a good estimate. We'll notify you via e-mail as soon as we have an estimated delivery date."
I said "screw it" & am sending an email to Amazon to let them know how frustrating this has been when other outlets have been fulfilling orders & the fact Amazon seems to have the item considering the Treasure Trucks.

I don't think I've ever played anything as simultaneously rage-inducing/mind-blowingly awesome as Contra 3. Just...man. Man.
Also Mega Man X is even more awesome than I remember it being.

I have the 8Bitdo NES Receiver and it needs a firmware update to work on the SNES Classic 
It's coming soon, but it's such a bummer i can't use it on the machine now. The controller that came in the box has way too small of a cable.

Yeah the snes library is timeless and just rock fucking solid, unlike a lot of systems that only have a handful of titles that hold up
Same here gang. I just wish they'd tell me something instead of giving me anxiety over this dumb toy.
Thanks mine too. Just wondering because I logged into Amazon on my phone and right saw a search for the other SNES Classic link and I was hoping I didn't screw up, glad I didn't.
But yeah, I'm emailing that dude Jeff about it right now for this. Definitely.

Just tried the SNES Classic and it is pretty damn perfect. Booting up Star Fox brought back memories of the Super FX chip and how it was so advanced at the time. Also, the gameplay still holds up to this day.
I really don't remember Contra IV being this difficult and didn't know how I beat it back in the day haha.
Really happy with how this turned out. And Nintendo really did pull through at launch this time. Been reading stories all day about how Target had enough for most customers this morning.

Fucking wow. I just checked my Walmart by my house where I got lucky and got my Switch at to see if they got the SNES Classic and the guy said at electronics section section said people have been asking all day.
They never even got any. He said they may get some tomorrow causd a truck is coming in tonight and there's a ton of walmarts in the same situation. Like wow man, smh.

San Francisco seemed to have units wiped off the face of this Earth appparently. Expected but still....damn you people.

It does but it has A and B for the NES pad mapped to all of the SNES buttons (including the shoulder buttons). The receiver needs an update for it to work properly. One's coming "soon" according to 8bitdo.

I would like to say a massive THANK YOU to this thread informing me of Amazon Instant Pickup, as I found out I'm near one of 6 locations in the US, with one in Maryland.
I was able to use the phone app to buy it. Went to the Amazon Pick Up location and there were machines to scan a bar code for my order, a locker opened up to the right of me and there was that SNES Mini....

You and me both! Also Batman Returns, Live Alive and Batman and Robin all games that have no chance of ever being ported due to licensing.
Glad to hear...love the game but pretty much any emulated version I've tried over the years has been screwed up in some way either due to slowdown or glitches.
