With Amazon, once you have it in your basket is it held or can it be taken if you don't process the order fast enough?

It can be taken out, it's not saved in your cart

 

[muteki]

the controller isnt cordless?

More cordless than the original.

 

[Matrix]

Just got my shipping email from bestbuy.com phew, that frees up me trying to get one and gives one extra person a chance on amazon

nothing is guaranteed until you've checked out.

That's good to see, thanks!

nope.

you gotta check out as fast as possible

 

[Minions]

I wouldn't worry. Nintendo seems to say they'll be around

I expect them to be "around" in the same allotment they are now. Every week or two another 12 show up at each Walmart. I wouldn't expect these to be easily available until after the holidays.

 

[Big-E]

I just came back from a large Canadian mall with an EB. The line was 100 plus deep. I am assuming those people were waiting to put their name down for a pre order because I doubt they would have that many day one.

 

[dcassell]

Well, let's see what happens. I'm on the page and set to go. Not expecting anything, but it would be a nice get.

 

[superNESjoe]

Is the controller going live at 5pm too?

 

[Madridy]

I thought that USB was always 5 volts and the Amps change.

wait it is a usb?!

never mind then lol

Well this is gonna be fun. Good luck all!

Where are links?

 

[HammerOfThor]

For those who think Amazon will get low stock, keep in mind big box retailers need enough to send to all their stores and cover online orders; Amazon just has their online store.

Assuming each GameStop got at least one, thats around 4,500 units.

I'm sure Amazon have a few thousand.

 

[Relaxt]

More cordless than the original.

yes, the cord is less than the original.

 

[sixteen-bit]

More cordless than the original.

lmao

 

[Minions]

No one knows. There is a super shortage of them at the moment though.

 

[MrSaturn99]

So to my complete surprise, they were still selling this at the Nintendo World Store. I was heading out to NYC on vacation today so I wasn't expecting to get one anytime soon, but they still had dozens upon dozens by the time I walked in late afternoon.

Needlessly to say, I'm a happy camper, especially after $200 worth of merchandise ^_____^

 

[GeeDuhb]

I'd say Amazon has about 100-1000 in stock

L train ready to pick up more people

Have a little faith! Lol

I have no doubt they at least got a few thousand. When they did this type thing with Amiibos, most of them were available for at least a few minutes (except the super rare ones.) I am going to make an ambitious prediction that most of us who are here trying to buy right at 2:00pm will be able to score one!

...I will come here and cry with the rest of you when I am wrong...

 

[Lakerchick4life]

I assume this is the right link..I have discover card so 5 percent cash back..cant wait to get one of these things crossing fingers

And everyone and their mama knows they are going up at 2pm. Expect it to sell out fast no matter how many they have.

I remember when amazon had an exclusive amiibo and everyone said it would be gone in 2 seconds..it stayed online for an hour they had PLENTY so I think they will have plenty of this to go around as long as you get one right away when its up

 

[IAmtheFMan]

This is like amiibos all over again...

Hopefully it's better than what happened with Lucina...

 

[wiibomb]

this is amazing

 

[Erekiddo]

See you on the other side.

 

[Escape Goat]

 

[Snaku]

Watch this shit be Prime exclusive...

 

[SystemUser]

wait it is a usb?!

never mind then lol

Yes, power port is micro-USB like an Android phone or a DS4. I don't know the ampage of used exactly, but I assume it is low since people are powering it using the USB port on a TV.

 

[Sephzilla]

It's almost time

god damn i swear i could hear the 24 clock sound effect

 

[HammerOfThor]

They will. I was just answering those who think Amazon will get extremely low stock based of what the average Gamestop or BB got.

Speak not of this.

 

[IamDodongo]

Isn't there a tracking site? Would hate to waste gas after work.

After work? I highly doubt any systems in any area persisted on shelves beyond 10AM when most stores were opened.

 

[Doctre81]

i wanna try just to see how fast these are gonna go lol

 

[mightynine]

Who's ready for an F5

Let's...do....THISSS

 

[Josh5890]
