Is it only people who ordered multiples who are getting their orders cancelled so far? Or those with payment issues?

Damn it...
I did the same thing. Haven't received the cancellations yet but now I'm fully expecting it :\

I ordered two from Wal-Mart-- one with PayPal (these funds have already been deducted from my PayPal and my bank account) and MasterCard (have pre-authorization).
I'm thinking the fact they straight took my money from my bank account already is a good sign for us.

Wut?
You think Nintendo has anything to do with that?
That is perfectly normal for preorders of anything by anyone from Target/Wal-Mart/Best Buy
Eh I dunno. They did that with me and then cancelled anyway claiming payment issues.

For Walmart it went up to 100

Had 4 orders at Walmart of one each. One is cancelled, two are requested cancellation. Looks like they're doing 1 per account. Hopefully Amazon does the same.
The link on Walmart's app worked until just a little while ago. And now there isn't even a product photo for orders on the website or app.
So yeah, it's happening right now, brehs. Hold onto your butts.

if you cant change pre-order address, could you setup some mail redirection for your name? I was able to do that when I moved a few years ago.

Wait a minute... I don't mean to sound uppity here, but you mean to say... there are people who are ordering Classic SNES consoles who have less than $100 in their checking at a particular given time?
I get it that the issue is that the funds are being tied up for 30 days, but I mean, come on, it's ~$85. If you don't have a buffer of at least several hundred in checking at any given moment you're probably asking for problems anyway. Using a credit card at just about any gas station lands you a $95 pre-auth for instance until the actual balance clears...

I have three orders of 1x console each at Walmart still showing "Preparing Order".
Nonetheless expecting at least 2 to get cancelled....

ITT people demonstrate their entitlement and complain that life isn't fair.
They've set it up so that they can slowly but gradually cancel every preorder from now until release. It's only a matter of time now...
Yeah they deducted my money as well...
Ordered on the 25th, payment went through on the 28th....

Walmart taking money out of your account or PayPal means nothing - I cannot reiterate this strongly enough. It happened during the last "mistake" preorder and didn't amount to a hill of beans - everyone still got their SNES cancelled.
The more I think about a N64 Mini, the more I realize either "well, there exists a better version or port of a decent amount of games" or "eeehhhh, it's gonna leave out stuff because of licensing or 3rd party or controller pak emulation issues", not to mention it'd probably only have maybe 10, 15 games at most, & let's face it, most if not all would probably already be on the Virtual Console.
- Super Mario 64
- Star Fox 64
- Ocarina of Time
- Majora's Mask
- Yoshi's Story
- Mario Kart 64
- Paper Mario
- Super Smash Bros.
- Kirby 64
- Mario Party 2
- F-Zero X
- Mario Tennis &/or Golf
- ....Wave Race 64?
- ....1080* Snowboarding??
- ....Pokemon Stadium???? But you wouldn't have the GB adapter....
If anything, I'm hoping for a GB/C Mini, or gimme a GBA Mini (insert GBA Micro joke here). I can see why people would want a N64 mini, but I fear people are going to be disappointed then they realize Nintendo isn't going to be able to get stuff like the Rare catalog (no Diddy Kong Racing, no Banjo Kazooie, etc.), Goldeneye, etc. Not to mention how would you handle the extra controllers? Bundle 2 in, then have people buy the other two? Bundle them all together? Not to mention, how much would it go for? $100??

Just to share my experience with Target: I pre-ordered 2 units the second they went live on the 22nd and was lucky to get the order through. I am in the US, the order is still active, and I still have a pending authorization charge on my credit card for the full amount. That pending charge has been there since the 22nd and has not dropped off once. I agree that US orderers having issues are probably having credit card trouble. Make sure you keep the full balance of your order available until after it ships!
Uh..... what entitlement? I already have one, I am merely lamenting the fact that multiple orders being cancelled shouldn't be surprising to some people although it looks like you've managed to snag more than a few for yourself:
I'm sure all those 4 orders are for yourself...
Don't see the problem with that.

I was able to order one from Target in the afternoon after lots of refreshing. I had a pending charge on my card but it fell off. I have more than enough funds in my account for it, but from my experience that happens a fairly frequently between when I preorder something and when I actually get charged (at the shipping point) for things. The order is still showing up on my target account and everything so fingers crossed.
Also people who just ordered an extra in case anything happened but...you know, yeah greed and stuff...
Hell they might even produce LESS of those.

Lol at tracking down how many orders I have. Doing the Lord's work trying to point fingers and make assumptions of people without context. But you know, totally scalping over here!

What do you mean who cares? This is a community of gamers who enjoy this as a passion and would like to relive the SNES.

I know it's not going to happen, but deep down I deeply wish that Nintendo would manufacture so many of these that no one would have trouble finding one, making all the scalpers stuck with tons of goods they can't sell without taking a hit.

Let us all take a moment to feel bad for the ppl that have had, or could possibly have, some of their multiple pre-orders canceled.

I ain't nostalgic for the SNES, I just want one because it seems like a neat non-emulator way to play a ton of classic games I've never played. N64 Mini could be cool.

If you sell the snes, you get the helmet and gun FOR FREE!
Scalping has no risk because basically all retailers will take them back. Worst case scenario they're stuck with store credit.
Basically scalping is even worse than speculating because at least speculators have risks.

Uh oh, looks like cancellations are going out. I had 2 preordered, one each on each order, they cancelled one. Looks like it's 1 per person
Walmart.
For a friend, of course.

The flight plan I just filed with the agency list me, my men, Dr. Pavel here. But only one of you!
I have the same (2 orders of 1 each) and I won't be bummed if one gets canceled. The only reason I have two in the first place is because Walmart's account/order page wasn't immediately updating and I didn't think the first one went through.
If both get canceled I will be rather put out.
I also have 2 orders of 1 each. Partially as a backup in case one didn't go through, but mostly to gift one to my bro for Christmas. They both still say Preparing Order, but the initial charge on my CC is gone. I assumed it was a temporary hold and they'd go through with the real charge once it shipped, but now this thread's got me preeeeetty nervous.
Aside from DK64 and maaaybe Pokemon Snap, that's exactly the list of games I would expect to see out of an N64 Classic. So 10 to 15 games, a much higher price, and the issue of how to do four controllers. I would be completely down since N64 was the system that got me into gaming, but it would not be as special when Rare's games are gone and Zelda + Star Fox got superior 3DS remakes.
Ordered the same way, here's hoping I get to keep at least one.
