Just got my shipping confirmation from Target - not sure when it will arrive, but it's shipping from Tucson and I'm in Utah, so shouldn't take long. Pumped!

My tracking said a week from Tucson to NorCal.

 

[Prisoner KSC2-303]

My UK (Argos) order was supposed to be with me today, but it seems like it won't be now. Fingers crossed for tomorrow. They said it was sent 1st class yesterday.

 

[dallow_bg]

Target order arrives this Saturday.

 

[NOLA_Gaffer]

I now live about 5 minutes away from a Best Buy. I don't want a NES Mini for myself but I'd love to pick one up for the Fiancee's parents and my brother-in-law along with a controller for myself to use with my Wii U (and hopefully 8bitdo's Retro Receiver in the future)

Thinking of dropping in early Friday to see what's up stock-wise.

 

[AtomicPumpkin]

My tracking said a week from Tucson to NorCal.

That seems excessive, hopefully it doesn't take that long.

 

[Charles Brandon]

Is this thing seriously going to be hard to get?

Completely sold out in the UK I think. Selling on eBay for 100% markup.

Does anyone know if they are doing this run and that's it?

 

[whitemex88]

i've been planning on going to my best buy in the morning hoping to score one. does anyone think i'll have any luck?

Considering it's a series, I wouldn't doubt another restock near or after christmas. That said, get your knife and get a place in the morning line.

 

[Ninja Dom]

So just to be clear, Wii Classic controllers do work on this, right?

Yes

Sweet! Not gonna touch the official pack-in controller and will just use the Wii Classic one.

 

[PAULINK]

Man, I want one of these now... hopefully an online retailer opens orders...

 

[NOLA_Gaffer]

It's kinda fascinating how many third party accessories are popping up for this thing, I don't recall that happening with any of the multitude of clone consoles based on Sega and Atari in the past.

Also, if you need a extension cable, google search "Nunchuck Extension" or "Classic Controller extension" and you can probably get one for half the price of cables branded specifically for the NES Mini.

 

[Letep]

Online orders will open up soon. Believe.

 

[The Elite]

Man, I want one of these now... hopefully an online retailer opens orders...

I am hoping they open up tomorrow so that people can get release day delivery. That would make some sense.

 

[PAULINK]

I might not be THAT optimistic, but I just want to secure one since any instore stock will be bought up (I live in a college town).

If all else fails, fear for black friday stock.

Are we seriously going to allow scalping talk in here? No thanks.

Pretty much this, totally sold out.

So happy I kept my Amazon UK preorder

Look at this. They've sold tons at this price;

 

[Turnbl]

Pre-ordered in July on Amazon UK. Can't never be tight so free delivery option has been set to arrive on Saturday 12th for months now (therefore changed to my home address months ago).

Current status: 10 Nov Will Dispatch, 12 Nov Arriving Saturday. Come on, don't fail me now!!! Never had a NES so maybe a little too excited about this.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Will Amazon have these up at any particular time? I am hoping to get 2 or 3 of them but if I can do that and not have to leave the house Friday morning that'd be great.

 

[Ooccoo]

Good luck getting one for Christmas. This will 100% be a rare item.

 

[Hobbun]

Will Amazon have these up at any particular time? I am hoping to get 2 or 3 of them but if I can do that and not have to leave the house Friday morning that'd be great.

Just curious, but why are you getting 2 or 3 of them? For different rooms of the house or friends/family?

 

[Erekiddo]

FedEx shipped my order from Target, but I've moved since the time I put in the preorder.

Reaaaally hoping my mail forward catches it. Target nor FedEx could change the address.

 

[CrashPrime]

So is this SoC box running linux?

When they foward it your are going to have to pay for the shipping.

It's fedex smartpost which uses USPS for the last mile delivery. How badly do you want it? Call the local post office that used to deliver your mail, and the new one. Speak to a supervisor. Give them the tracking and see if they can help. Google says it'll be a $3 fee for address forward, but i wouldn't rely on that kicking in. It'll probably go to your old place.

 

[BigBeauford]

Is there any reason someone shouldn't just drop $10 on a 15' HDMI cable from Amazon, rather than $10 per extension for each controller?

 

[SumptuousLemur]

Longer HDMI is the smarter choice.

You'd need an extension for the power cable too

Mine's on the same dispatch date as yours. I'm getting it Friday though.

 

[Leonsito]

Got mine!

The Famicom should arrive next week too

 

[Josh5890]

So Amazon is just going to randomly throw these up at 2 am right?

[RedToad64]

A store I called said they currently have 120 units waiting to be put on shelves Thursday night. Another store said they only have 25.

 

[Mrmask]

A store I called said they currently have 120 units waiting to be put on shelves Thursday night. Another store said they only have 25.

May I ask which store? Walmart, Best Buy, etc?

 

[Charles Brandon]

I know it's able to be updated but is there any scope for opening it up and soldering an SD card into it somehow, such that you can play the rest of your collection with the same UI?

 

[optimiss]

A store I called said they currently have 120 units waiting to be put on shelves Thursday night. Another store said they only have 25.

What store?

 

[Deleted member 144138]

Anyone else who ordered from Amazon Germany and get their NES on November 30th?

Classic NES Mini | OT | Its Gonna Take You Back To The Past

Got mine!
The Famicom should arrive next week too

How's the input lag on this thing? Noticed any while playing SMB 1/2/3?

The gamestop near me is getting three


amazing

 

[Glass Shark]

Any idea when Walmart stores will be putting these out? Midnight or early morning?

 

[sixteen-bit]

Now you're playing with power. Again.

[TLZ]

Does the famicom have the same games on it?

There are about 8 different games on it.

 

[Harbinger of War]

My local Toys R Us said they'd be getting 25 in stock, limit 1 per person. Gamestop also said 1 per person but if they had any remaining after selling to those who were in line at opening, they'd allow buying multiples. If all Gamestops are doing the same and only getting 7-9 in stock, you better plan on getting there very early Friday morning if you want one.

Now You're Playing With USB Power.

 

[CrashPrime]

How's the input lag on this thing? Noticed any while playing SMB 1/2/3?

I was wondering the same. Based on previous research, it's likely to be better than a Retron5, worse than Windows 10, and about the same as a RasberryPi.

I am expecting around 3-4 frames. Battletoads would be nigh impossible, but with the games we got, I can see Mega Man 2 being a challenge to deal with, but not much else.

Of course I want it.

How do they bill me? Hold my package hostage until I cough up $3?

 

[Price Drop]

Just received a shipping notification for my Target pre-order. Scheduled to arrive via FedEx SmartPost on Monday.

 

[radio_apeshot]

Yep same here, Il still try to get a Mini NES but at least I know il have the Famicom Mini now .

I'm super busy at work and haven't been able to read the last few pages. But is there any recommedation as to where to order a Famicom Mini if I'm in the U.S.?

Thank you!
