Just got my mildly incoherent and baffling Amazon alert:



What the hell does it even mean?

Nintendo. Either get it together or stop making them.

Nintendo emailed you?

 

[bachikarn]

Got the same email.

I hate pre-ordering from Amazon but it's not like I had a choice

 

[Zonic]

"miss your delivery promise" = "you won't get it on the 29th, but it'll still arrive"

That's how I'm seeing it.

 

[DaBargainHunta]

Sigh... Same e-mail here too. I should've known better than to allow myself to get excited. :\

 

[Sanjuro]

Pre-order your promises now.

 

[ZeoVGM]

Looks like everyone is getting that Amazon email, eh? Just got mine.

 

[Stinkles]

Nintendo emailed you?

No, Nintendo didn't make enough units or supply them in time. Amazon's baffling language aside, is just the bearer of the bad news.

 

[Pikma]

Just got this e-mail from Amazon:

I got this for both of my orders

Fuck me

 

[DiscoNaldo]

Just got the same Amazon email. My favorite part:

"You can track the status of, or make any changes to, your order under Your Orders on Amazon.com."

Bitch, I ain't changing shit. You did.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Maybe they oversold and some will be part of Nintendo's second shipment

 

[cordy]

Yeah I got the email for both my orders too...

This is weird because it doesn't look like it's on Amazon, it looks like it's on Nintendo. What the fuck is going on at Nintendo that they're causing Amazon to miss some orders? WTF.

 

[hateradio]

I really want the Super Famicon Classic. Based on the OP, is Play-Asia the only retailer that may have pre-orders?

 

[TheContact]

Got this from Amazon just now (I pre ordered on 8/22)

UPDATE

For all those that preordered at GameStop either in-store or online:

GameStop's website just updated with the proper image and information, confirming that the orders are legit. I logged in to see if the site captured my in-store order and luckily enough it did:

Good work GAF!

 

[shanafan]

Best Buy keeps winning. No e-mails

Spoiler

yet

.

 

[JakeD]

amazon has fucked up every video game related pre-order i've placed with them in the past 6 months. the good news is they all showed up eventually

the bad news is i never received an email for those. they just..showed up late. this situation may be different

 

[Big Green Anus]

I got the same email to. I looks like an issue with Nintendo

 

[Megatron]

I got the same e-mail from Amazon. I have 3 preorders from 3 different places, so I still feel good about getting one (the other two will go to friends at cost, assuming I get all 3) Now it's just a question of which one gets here first. I have an Amazon UK order in and that's the one I'm most interested in keeping as I like the look of the Euro system better than the one we got in the States, but it will likely arrive last after the shipping too, so we'll see....

I can't look my in-store order up, but I don't have a GameStop account

Well, it's an issue with Amazon because they are - so far - the only retailer to announce shipping delays. Nothing from Best Buy, Wal-Mart, Target, GameStop, etc.

 

[Ashhong]

Goddamn you guys should calm down. You'll still receive it and it says MAY not arrive on time. Seems like everyone got the email

Or maybe Amazon is just faster than the rest...

In-Store orders are usually linked to a phone-number and/or an email address. You may be able to make an account on the website using the email you gave in-person and check your orders.

Just FYI, GameStop offers a free version of their rewards card that helps with tracking orders and everything. It has all the other benefits of the paid version just not the discounts on used games, the trade boosts, and the occasional coupons. If your paid ever runs out it just converts into the free automatically. I'd sign up for the free one just for order tracking purposes.

We don't even know how long the delay is, could just be by a few days.

I'd rather get the notification of a small delay over "SORRY, WE OVERSOLD, SO YOUR ORDER IS CANCELLED!" & be back at square one.

Second this. I haven't renewed my Power Up rewards in years, but I am able to still track my preorders on the app - which is actually pretty clean and nicely organized with updates.

Same here, idgaf about getting it at launch tbh, as long as I get one I'm all good

 

[neojubei]

Guess I'm not the only one who got the amazon email. That's good to know.

 

[Killthee]

My Amazon order got lowered from 2 to 1. Both units were on the same order.

 

[Previous]

Changing the shipping address on my BB preorder is safe to do right? or will that put my order at the bottom of the list? I vaguely remember someone saying that once.

 

[k91191]

Amazon decreased my order amount.

I ordered 1 Classic in my first order, then ordered another 3 Classics in a second order.

The second order has been decreased to 1 Classic.

So it looks like I may still be getting 2 SNES Classics.

 

[Naked Snake]

My Amazon order got lowered from 2 to 1. Both units were on the same order.

Rookie mistake.

 

[JABEE]

I only have one ordered from Amazon now and it says delivery pending. I ordered when the original listing was posted in this thread before Wario64 posted it online.

I have not received an email.

 

[oti]

Ditto, ugh.

I wonder how much the people who ordered 10+ fucked us

It wasn't limited to one pre-order per customer on Amazon US? Why? I pre-ordered from multiple retailers just to be sure, since every retailer had a limit of one unit per customer.

 

[Zonic]

Still have my 2 orders safe (made them separate), I really hope one doesn't get cancelled since that means I'll probably just do my friend a favor & let him have the SNES Mini while I go on the chase for another one since he doesn't keep up with this kind of stuff like I do & I'd feel bad making him be the one that has to try & find another.

 

[SparksterMeta0]

Got the Amazon email.
Its fine.
I mean, better than being canceled, anyway.

 

[Ta11geese]

Same. But I got an email.

 

[cordy]

As long as I'm still getting my order I'm gucci. Just gotta wait. Placed 2 different orders, both had 1 each, so if one's canceled, I'm good.

I'm just going to assume that they're decreasing orders due to how many people have placed. Damn.

 

[ZeroCDR]

Apparently Amazon orders of 2+ are getting adjusted down to 1. Anyone confirm?

edit: Guess so, checked above lol

 

[tesqui]

Does this mean Amazon will do another preorder soon?

 

[digitalrelic]

Does this mean Amazon will do another preorder soon?

Seems like this would be likely. Especially because I'm sure there's scalpers out there who ordered a ton a got a bunch cancelled.

 

[JakeD]

Does this mean Amazon will do another preorder soon?

super stoked to stay up for the next 72 hours just in case they do

 

[JABEE]

Does this mean Amazon will do another preorder soon?

It probably means they took too many orders.

People were ordering 50 of them since there was no limit.

I can't find the order number on my receipt. Where's it located? I also tried looking up my order by the last four of my CC and email but it came up empty. Slightly worried....

 

[LiamA]

Got the Amazon email today as well.

 

[Merchandise]

GameStop in-store pre-order GAF, we in there

RIP Amazon. If the cancel the guy who made 60 orders, maybe they;ll open them up again? Can't believe it would be the opposite situation where they had too many orders and are canceling to break even..

 

[RootCause]

Sweating my Target preorder. They better not mess up.

 

[PushTheButtonMax]

I got the email too.

Call me pessimistic but I think this is their way of saying "You're probably not getting this item."

Hope I'm wrong!

 

[Blam]

It's beautiful really. How does nintendo fuck this up harder then the switch orders.

 

[DeathByBacklog]

so you mean...I'm not special?

 

[JayBabay]

I got the e-mail on one of my orders but my cousin didn't. We both ordered 2 but I had mine ordered before him, also his are on one order but I went back after I got one and ordered another, could be a timing or multiple order thing, don't know yet.
