I saw the chat log screenshot earlier but it smells like BS. I struggle to understand a scenario where "all orders are being cancelled" in which they are cancelled only a few at a time. It would be all them at once and plenty of people still have their orders in tact.

That doesn't make sense because they will ship the number of preordered consoles from their warehouses where they are needed. It's not as if you are ordering consoles which are in stock at individual stores right now.
As far as I can tell, most people getting canceled are falling victim to "unable to verify payment" or "unable to verify address" which is just routine online ordering errors. There's no evidence that mass-cancellation of all preorders is going to happen besides Internet trolls.

Yeah, mine is still processing and apparently I was a last minute order as well at 12:07 EST. I won't flood the thread with any other updates unless I get a cancellation.
My order was cancelled less than a minute after getting the confirmation email. They said my payment information could not be verified which I double checked and it was correct from the start (payed with credit card).
Today I spoke with customer support and they told snes classic preorder went up by mistake and that they would all be cancelled. Of course I don't believe every order will be but that was what they said, you can choose to believe me or not. I'm not writing this to be funny or something.
I asked why the cc was declined and it had something to do with the system but it should not happen for future purchases.

I don't know, man. Sometimes I think Nintendo products may just dematerialize into nothing even as I hold them in my hand. You'll never know if you actually have it.

My uncle doesn't work for Nintendo but he does work for the company that develops the plastics for Nintendo and I can confirm this is true. Their products are designed to break down over time which is what spurs sales when they just release the same old games over and over and over again.

Well, it has been 24 hours and no cancellations here. Feeling more confident.

This thread being bumped gave me a panic attack. I started frantically slapping at my keyboard trying hitting every key near F5 and trying to type at the same time.
No bueno.

Both of my pre-orders are still processing, but I noticed an error that is giving me pause. My name for billing info uses my last name as my last name as middle name (e.g. John Smith Smith). The pre-auth went through to my bank so I'm hopeful there are no issues.

No cancellation on my order (got it in right when the NowInStock alert went out) from Walmart, so hopefully all's alright.

So you're set, no matter what.
Lol if only. We don't get special treatment. First come first serve. Anybody who worked there still had to show up in line like everyone else for the NES.

Does anyone think they will ever do a GameCube Classic?
I really hope so, Gamecube was such a great system probably my favorite after SNES
I'd put more faith in it happening before we get Gamecube on virtual console switch anyway

Gifts.
I planned on buying 6 or 7 nes classics to give as gifts last year but found 0

I sent one to my house and one to my brother on the other side of the country. Him and I bonded playing SNES games together growing up. He's now a poor college student and can't afford things like this. So, I got it for him as a gift.

Fingers crossed my friend! I'm in the same boat
Don't let people fool you. They order two in order to sell.

Sorry but they got it for friends/family/personal acquaintance/their boss/their dog/kid they met in second grade.

Walmart allowed 2 per customer. Nothing wrong with taking advantage of that, especially with how limited the NES Classic was. If I wasn't in such a rush to get the order in I would've gone with 2 as well.

Yes, to "gift"

I don't get it either.
Anyways, getting back on topic, Walmart still shows processing (no cancellation yet). Crossing my fingers the whole "We're cancelling pre-orders due to putting the thing up to early" was a fluke.

Why would anyone who says it was for a gift lie? If you were a scalper there is no need to even respond to this

Yeah. If they're cancelling all of them, they're doing it at the slowest possible rate.

I didn't even realize you could order two.
I was in just a frantic hurry to get to the "Place Order" button I didn't even see you could order an extra. ;p

Anybody had theirs recently cancelled today?
Doesn't seem like it, but maybe it's dependent on your bank? I wonder if the charge back process is automatically resulting in the cancellations for whatever reason, and those of us who are "lucky" so far are in for a rude surprise when our banks get around to processing those requests?

I ordered one using a credit card and ship to store and my order is still "processing".

Because the next step is when it has shipped.
Actually, it was 2 per order. Already had people whining about the obvious slickdeals people with multiple orders, so hence why a thread with rules had to be made.
It was actually 2 per order, not customer. My coworker ordered 6 and none of them have been cancelled so far.
