I did this too (except I bought it from Play-Asia). I'm modding mine to have controller ports hanging out the back made from extension cables so I can use different controllers.

At least you're honest. I can respect that. We all need to make a buck somehow. I do not begrudge you that.

Yeah, I would expect reasonable people to see a difference in the one off who will buy a console or two to sell from the shady business that will buy hundreds, if not thousands, to resell en masse, but you never know.
No interest in owning NES, but I would like to keep an SNES. Never played any of those games; particularly interested in Super Metroid.

As Data from next generation would say my order is still "processing... processing...".

Your Name on these forums seems to be quite apropos
I can't wish you well in your endeavor, but I respect your honesty. I hope we beat you to getting these, but all is fair in this warzone.On topic, today/tomorrow are the days Wal-Mart reps claimed in those chat sessions they were supposed to begin preorders. Let's see what happens and let's see if other retailers do as well.
My SNES Classic preorder update for today is that there's no update. Still processing.
Checked at 8am for my 2 preorders here in Orlando. Here's hoping 🤞
Agreed. I said basically the same last page or so. I do believe Walmart's preorders went live early, but at the end of the day, they're Walmart and Nintendo isn't going to force them to cancel anything. For Walmart, it's simply easier (and cheaper) to let these preorders remain.
Walmart could still be verifying their launch inventory to see how many preorders they can keep. But even if they don't have enough for all of them, Walmart could still keep the preorder and ship the rest after launch.

I started the Walmart thread and I'd imagine I had to have been one of the very first people to jump on a preorder.
My order still says processing and has not been cancelled. I'm thinking we're safe, guys.

So, the real question is, did you buy anything after at Arby's?

If so, they must've been really hungry.

Nailing down your SNES Classic preorder can wear you out and make you work up quite an appetite.

I'd imagine it won't change until it ships.

It will stay at processing until it is either cancelled, action is required regarding your account/payment information, or you are charged and the item ships. If you choose Store Pickup, I'm not sure if you are charged until you pick up at store, but otherwise, same thing.

NoA, get it right. Europe and Japan actually knows what the hell they are doing.

When did they cancel??
It's not Nintendo, it's Wal-Mart.
They said they opened the pre-orders too early.
Any news on preorders?
Here's hoping these aren't too hard to find.
Sorry to hear that. I know the feeling too well.

What about your uncle that works for Nintendo?

The flight plan I just filed with the agency list me, my men, Dr. Pavel here. But only one of you!
He gave me an N64 classic months ago
Yeah, I got one too, it's pretty sweet. Love playing PD and Bond on it.
Was it canceled today, or did you just notice it was canceled today? Was the reasoning the same as the others?

Well I feel like they shouldn't cancel. Just backorder and send when they can. NES did periodically come back in.
But that would take effort.

My Order for 1 SNES classic still says processing
Yesterday or so, the pending charge was removed for 2 of the 3 orders, but there's still a hold on one more. Either way, all 3 orders are still processing for me.
It will make me so happy if Walmart comes through & I can get both of my friends one of these, especially my best friend since we have such childhood ties to the SNES.
Edit: & of course, mere minutes after typing this post, I got the email saying the order was cancelled.....
