Super curious about this now. Comic has some cool action scenes and a simple but cool plot.

They did exactly that actually!!
What is this garbage. Did they just find out their first allotment is much smaller than they thought or what?

But remember, there is nothing Nintendo can do about this. Oti's school course said so.
Apparently they lowered every order with multiple units to just one. Which begs the question: Why would they allow more than one unit per order to begin with? That's just made for scripts and bots to order every unit. How did they not think about this beforehand?

You know what, I've had enough. If you shit posters can't have a conversation about this subject, fine. No point in wasting my time with you, Zaph and imBask.

or you could just admit that Nintendo has done nothing to prevent this shitshow and is partially to blame for this.
Retailers could be to blame for some pre-order shenanigans, there are reports of gamestop managers being told there wouldn't be any pre-orders, until they learned the opposite on the morning the pre-orders went up
but none of this would've happened if Nintendo had produced units and/or if they had given enough of a shit to let everyone know what was up. Especially considering this is the 2nd time they've done this
People mad that amazon is not letting them buy 20 snes minis to sell on ebay.
I just want one, stop being scalping scumlords.
Also, this is all on nintendo. They were fully aware of how dire they made getting a nes mini was last year and promised more snes minis. So their approach? Just let retailers do preorders at what-the-fuck times with about 10 total snes minis combined.
This shit is entirely on them and fuck anyone defending nintendo or blaming retailers for their record setting shitty inability time and time again to not produce enough of something in high demand. If i was an investor I would have their heads.

I've had a smooth time in school thankfully but I feel for anyone who got bullied. Fuck bullies.
Nintendo's fear of having units sit on store shelves or paying to store them in warehouses outweighs the idea of profits from selling an overpriced emulator in a neat plastic shell, leading to all the issues they've had recently with both classic consoles and the Switch. They either are oblivious to the demand or flat out ignore it due to that fear, letting scalpers or 3rd party sites reap the benefits of the limited supply.
Being unable or unwilling to read the market is Nintendo's fault, plain and simple. Being cautions is fine, but it seems like Nintendo has learned nothing from the NES classic blunder in terms of how high the demand is for these nostalgia consoles.

It all starts with Nintendo. If they didn't decide to make this limited for some reason, we wouldn't have any of these problems to begin with. But I'm bewildered by the fact that pre-ordering in the US seems to be way worse than pre-ordering in Europe. The SNES mini was avaliable like twice for pre-order in Germany for 30 minutes each or something like that. Limited to one unit per user as well.
Bring it. I liked the comic but I didn't love it. I want this to be either amazing or trash.
I was lucky in that I always had good teachers, and had a graduating class of about 150 and knew most of them from elementary school if not middle school. The only time I can remember having a hard time with other students was two specific things in the start of middle and high school and neither of those were that bad, just annoying and sorta scary respectively.
Had that not been the case I probably would have been an easy target. Not in shape, pretty nerdy, and not exactly going to deal well with confrontation. Add that to having lesbian parents, and having a real bad time with anxiety junior year (and some surgery in the middle of senior year) that kept me from attending classes normally for a bit both years and things could have gone real bad.
So... I really feel for people, particularly as I know I just barely lucked out. And even then I'm white and straight and so on so it could have been much worse.

Based on the embargos, hopefully they will get to play some Rabbids/Mario on UPF.
I need Jeff's take on the intro cutscene ASAP!

how does it compare to Rorie's monitor?
Isn't timing on that based around when Nintendo says pre-orders go up? If so, blame NoA.
Quote pls. I'm interested enough to want to read it, but not interested enough to actually search for it.
Thanks!
I see it had the desirted effect then.
Some retailers have broken street date apparently. Maybe they could find a copy early. Would be neat. I'm sure they wouldn't lie about their review code (even though I wished they would, I need to know what Jeff thinks of it).
Congrats!
I'd imagine that to be the case. Although Amazon could've just started taking pre-orders before getting hard numbers from NoA. I can imagine Amazon or retailers in general having none of Nintendo's slow communication crap though. It's a hot item after all.

Same but definitely have some regrets.
I was once a lookout for a friend who, um, acquired a teachers car lol Very, very stupid. If I could do it all over again I wouldn't have been in the circles I was in and wouldn't care about what people thought.

I'm confused by Dan's inability to figure out eggs. His whole spiel last week combined with his story from a few years ago of cooking egg shell pieces (and throwing away the rest of the egg) cause he thought they were egg whites makes me think he might be visiting us from an eggless planet.
Time to re-up. They did the same sale last year which was real nice as a new member.
Nintendo shut that shit down on Walmart when it went up early, so Amazon would probably get the same blowback if they put up pre-orders early. That said, Amazon almost always oversells their initial allotment of pre-ordered goods and either have to cancel them or push back expected delivery dates.
