Support NeoGAF

[Empyrean Heaven]

Waiting in line right now, first in fact. GS's servers are fucked.

 

[Frogstep]

Lines up with the 5 ET rumor. Sounds legit.

He showed me the email while I was there waiting.

 

[weevles]

Friend at GS told me they won't have any of the wave 4's on the site till after a couple hour(s) after the stores.

I wonder if that starts after Hawaii time, or do they normally just assume Hawaii doesn't exist and go by Pacific time stores?

 

[Sillution]

The service is unavailable..... They got me up to the point of putting in my shipping address.

 

[alf717]

Amazon took pre-order for wave 4 or just a place holder?

 

[ThisIsMyName]

It has begun... Already on EBay for $99

 

[JimJamJones]

Friend just called me from a N. Florida Gamestop.

Two guys just started throwing down because Ness is sold out.

 

[rocketskates]

This is insane

 

[EroticSushi]

What a horrible experience. People with their family members telling them that they'll pay them back, kids saying they're just getting it to resell and I even got a dude in front of me looking at Ness listings on eBay.

 

[OrbitalBeard]

Until Nintendo gets their act together, I think I'm done. Thankfully, I only have eight figures, so I wasn't too deep into collecting.

This is beyond ridiculous and as a longtime fan of the company, I'm pretty disgusted.

Good luck to everyone who's willing to put up with this. : (

 

[crimnos]

He showed me the email while I was there waiting.

Nice! Good to have some confirmation.

 

[richiek]

Try downloading the Gamestop app for iOS. It's working for me.

lol for real?

 

[RootCause]

Would probably sell my collection If I had an account on Amazon. Nintendo sure failed miserably. These things could be mass produced, but no. Let's make it next to impossible./salty

amazon is just a placeholder, hasn't gone live yet.

Report them to eBay. Or bid at $9999 and never pay.

 

[Wanderer5]

Sorry for you guys but watching this from the sidelines is hilarious!

Heh this is why I didn't really want to get into amiibos much. Nintendo should probably know a bit better by now that these are going to be quite a mess unless they work to improve it.

Please don't have ZSS, or least Woolly Yoshi be retail exclusives.:/

 

[spindashing]

Mobile Gamestop works just fine for me.

Any way else doesn't work at all.

 

[Tsokolit]

im at a gamestop and they cant even get an order in. i just want ness. if they cant get any orders in, im going to have to stop by the ice cream store couple feet away...

Placeholder.

This is too good.

 

[Windom Earle]

New record, Ness sold out @ Gamestop in 0 minutes.

Where? I'm from Pensacola.

 

[JimJamJones]

lol for real?

He said one guy starting getting really upset, and the other guy started screaming at the first guy then started going after him.

Where? I'm from Pensacola.

Gainesville

 

[atomsk]

Not one sold here in central NJ, system down, line of 30 people, ugh

 

[The Shogun]

I don't even think we anticipated this level of insanity

Wow

 

[JohnTinker]

Third in line at a Tampa GS, 7 in line total, systems totally down

0 sales so far

 

[SalvaPot]

At this point I think having no preorders at all would be better, jeez.

 

[Armaly]

System is back up! Orders going through!

 

[Calamari41]

So just pre-orders for a Ness Amiibo have caused Gamestop's internal CRM servers to crash, and yet Nintendo won't take the risk of fucking manufacturing more of them.

 

[alf717]

OK thank you. Gonna try for Pac-Man and thats it.

At least some great comedy has occurred because of NoA's incompetence, ha ha ha.

Wow!!! This is nuts lol

 

[Haint]

NoA have to be in a text book somewhere as a poster child for corporate incompetence.

Holy crap if they really sold out that fast I expect riots at multiple gs locations... Could end up on national news. Or maybe I just have no faith in humanity anymore.

 

[timetokill]

I'm at a Game Stop in Oregon. 15 people in line ahead of me. As far as I can tell, none have been sold from this store because the servers crashed.

 

[skaflone721]

fuck nintendo and fuck gamestop, this is so frustrating

qft

 

[DonutTurtle]

My brother now is telling me orders can be possibly delayed to tomorrow. He is in line.

 

[spindashing]

Wow!!! This is nuts lol

Earthbound ain't nothing to fuck with.

 

[Somnid]

On the plus side, this probably means a reprint (once something that can use the Mother franchise comes out).

 

[topplehat]

Hmmmmmmm this is making me realize how stupid this Amiibo craze is.

 

[Calamari41]

Like seriously. Take full-price pre-orders all day today and then build that many Amiibos

 

[Mesoian]

He said one guy starting getting really upset, and the other guy started screaming at the first guy then started going after him.

The savagery!

lol wow

Getting flashbacks to the wii era

 

[pete_clarf]

I feel bad for the people who are waiting at Gamestop who DON'T want Amiibos. They're stuck behind all of us dumb-dumbs and just want to buy GTA V or something.

 

[//ARCANUM]

and yet, even with every nintendo fan constantly refreshing gamestop right now, i still can't get club nintendo to work lol

 

[TheSlySoul]

NoA have to be in a text book somewhere as a poster child for corporate incompetence.

Psh, they wrote the text book!

 

[Pilgrimzero]

But guys, Earthbound/Mother isn't a popular series in America, this makes no sense.
