I have a preorder for £66.66.

Yeah but I'm not in the US so it's understandable it would be different, but what's weird is that it's giving different fees on my account vs my sister's account shipping to the same address.
You can just power it via USB.

Europe SNES Classic don't come with power supply. Only USB cable. Use any charger you have or any USB port to power it.
Amazon and Nintendo UK had it for £69.99
Game had it for £79.99
I'm guessing that extra £10 is a "because Game" tax.

Got a Amazon Fr order. Hopefully it sticks. Don't want to wake up at 6 a.m. to camp at Toys R Us.

Legit surprised JP preorders still haven't gone up. Was it like this for the Famicom Classic?
My Shopt0 preorder is £79.99 too, and I was wondering whether they might lower it to the RRP. Probably shouldn't grumble about the extra £10.
Seriously, I just wanna secure preorders for JPN so I'll have all three versions preordered.

I wonder how my local Singapore offical distributor will handle it since we have both the Japan and US version of the SNES classic (!) and Singapore uses the Uk Plug.
I guess they will just remove the chargers.... lol
In case anyone in SG want to know
Lazada have US version @ 139 SGD (Around 102.87 US Dollar inclusive of Local Tax ) and JAP version @ 134 SGD with free shipping . Its actually quite reasonable.

My Argos.co.uk was for £69.99 too.
Any news on when this is actually getting released?
Should be shipping late Sept.

I got the same email and freaked out. Then I saw it was just a survey and realized my order was okay. Really woke me up this morning!
Do they ship to US?
"International shipment options are not available at Lazada at the moment."

Plugging it straight into a USB slot on the TV is even easier and works fine!
Edit: Saw you wrote USB port at the end, but thought people should know a TV can power the thing without problems. The NES Classic atleast.
You can click "edit" right next to where it says France and change country.
Got one! Link: https://jeux-video.fnac.com/Console-Nintendo-Classic-Mini-Super-Nintendo/a10859860/w-4
At paypal checkout?
Paypal gives me this:
This is the address provided by FNAC DIRECT. To change it, return to FNAC DIRECT before completing your purchase.

Don't think they ship internationally. At least not outside EU.
Not on paypal checkout, I filled out shipping info on the site before going to paypal.
They do. Finally figured it out. There is a drop down to change country when you edit.
yeah figured it out. Thanks
Nice!
In nick of time too. Sold out it seems. NVM. Still alive.

How did you get the phone number to work?
This was for Fnac not the Singapore website. It didn't give any trouble for phone.
2007 was when the Virtual Console was really hitting its stride right? Seems like now's the best time to release it, honestly. Especially since the people who grew up with it are old enough to buy it with their own money now (instead of bugging their parents for it lol)

What's the significance of 2007?

The people who grew up during the time the SNES came out were adults before 2007.
Heck, people who were born after the SNES came out were old enough to have jobs in 2007.
Thanks to Fnac.fr I should have a pretty decent Xmas, sure it's not getting delivered to my doorstep just yet but it's going to people who are coming anyway.
It was live for more than 20min too.
Knowing Fnac, they're not the kind to not stick with orders made so it should work out in the end.
A PAL Snes mini is fantastic! I fully expected to settle for the US version if I even could get one!

That's true...
Still, Idk why but it feels like Nintendo is hitting its customers at peak nostalgia levels with the timing. At least for me it does.

I have an Amazon.uk order for £58.33
I haven't really been following the issues with pre-orders for this as I was lucky to get the two I wanted as soon as they went live. I don't really want to read through almost 200 pages to catch up with the issues but I just want to see if I should be concerned about my orders.
I'm in the UK and have one ordered with the official UK Nintendo Store and the second one ordered from Tesco Direct in the UK. I do keep checking from time to time to make sure that everything is OK simply because I do that with any pre-order that's really early but I'm wondering if anybody can confirm whether they've had any issues in the UK with cancellations from the two retailers that I've used?
They're the same retailers that I used for the two NES Classics before launch and I had no issues with either of those pre-orders so it's not as if I'm concerned but from having a quick look at this thread I can see that people in a variety of situations have had issues and I just want to be sure that I shouldn't be worried about my two orders?
Thanks.

You should receive an email about the cancellation if I remember correctly. Use Google Chrome to auto translate for you.
