I can post it now?

I didn't think that's how it works. I thought there was a minimum number of days before release before an OT can start.

RIP my favorite thread since July.

I think the rule now is posting it the day before release, so this Thursday. Used to be 1 week before the game's release, but that was changed last year if I recall.

MRORANGE amateur and not in the cool club confirmed.

The verbiage on my amazon order changed slightly. I don't remember what it said previously, but it wasn't phrased the same. Now its says

Delivery date pending
You'll get an email as soon as we can provide you with a delivery estimate.

Before it was vaguer than that.

 

[Juraash]

My Target order has been updated to say Friday delivery. I think we might actually be in the clear on this one.

 

[opticalmace]

Best Buy order has been charged, supposedly will get it on Sept 29. Walmart order isn't doing much (no charge yet), says delivery by Oct 5th.

As long as one of them goes through I'll be happy. If both do, I'll see if the other can be a christmas gift for an in-law.

Any concerns over a UK one used in the US? I got in on an Amazon UK order early on, but missed all US preorders. Thanks!

You know, you could have shared the video link with us to see for ourselves...

Haha, sorry. I watched on my TV and posted on my phone.

Great! Thanks!

I'm super excited for this book to show up, too.

What's the best NES equivalent? Playing With Power?

What's the best NES equivalent? Playing With Power?

According to the Amazon reviews it’s not great, which is also the reason why I’m waiting for reviews before buying the SNES book.

 

[The Llama]

Just noticed I have a pending charge for $86.39 from Walmart.com on my credit card as of yesterday. Walmart hasn't been doing that thing Target was where they were verifying every few days, right? Like... is this it? Is this the charge?

 

[jmizzal]

Walmart better come though

 

[Plinko]

My walmart.com purchase is now pending on my CC. First time since preordering.

 

[paragonpro]

For anyone who waited outside target for a nes or switch what time dis you show up? I was going to get there at eleven right when they close. Is that over kill?

What's your estimated delivery date?

 

[Kintaco]

No charges pending for me. I'm getting worried, got a Best Buy and Walmart pre-order.

 

[Plinko]

What's your estimated delivery date?

Friday, October 6.

 

[The Llama]

Friday, October 6.

Same, FWIW.

This is the NES version: https://www.amazon.com/dp/074401767X/?tag=neogaf0e-20

It seems like it was rushed with typos and missing pages.

I personally won't feel confident until it ships.

Will likely try my luck before work at the nearest Walmart/Target on Friday just in case.

 

[iShouldGoPro]

[Kintaco]

When something smells, it's usually the Butz.

I hope that stink is not my orders getting screwed!

Mam, we have 20 SNES Classics in our store right now. We only got about 9 NES Classics over the entire duration of the product.

What store do you work at?

 

[BigBeauford]

Any recommendations for an extension cord?

 

[twinturbo2]

Has anyone who preordered through Amazon US got a shipment date yet? I haven't.

 

[brickarts295]

Nope. It just says Not Yet Shipped.

That’s good and yet disappointing. The first people in line will get one I suppose

 

[Koppai]

I checked and my store is getting 78.

 

[twinturbo2]

Nope. It just says Not Yet Shipped.

Same here. I didn't get a cancellation notice yet, so I'm thinking it'll go through.

 

[prateeko]

I checked and my store is getting 78.

Which store do you work for?

For anyone who waited outside target for a nes or switch what time dis you show up? I was going to get there at eleven right when they close. Is that over kill?

I lined up outside of Best Buy for a Switch, got there about 90 minutes before they opened (at midnight) and got a system. But it probably varies upon how densely populated the area you live in is. I live close to the borders of Mass and Maine, so we get dipshits coming over to get out of paying sales taxes all the time. Though I don’t know if anyone in line for the Switch fit that M.O. or not.

My local Target is a low volume store, so I suspect they’re going to be in the 20 SNES camp. They open at 8am, I’m planning to get there no later than 6am.

 

[Harbinger of War]

Any recommendations for an extension cord?

Saw this post over on the r/MiniSNES sub-Reddit the other day that showed Best Buy will be carrying a two-pack of 6-ft cables. Supposedly $10 for the pair which seems like a great price. Bought an Insignia cable for my NES Classic and it's worked flawlessly over the past year.

RIP my favorite thread since July.

One of the best and most appropriate thread title changes I've witnessed. Perfect description for literally everything that happened since the initial Best Buy preorder. The best part is that it's technically not over; anything could happen on the day of release.

 

[phantasmic_glaive]

I pre-ordered at BB. Does it ship or do we pick it up?

 

[CMojicaAce]

I pre-ordered at BB. Does it ship or do we pick it up?

I mean that would depend on what you selected at checkout.

 

[Persona7]

Check your order details. Sometimes they give you the option while other times they don't.

 

[aparisi2274]

My local Gamestop is getting in 30 SNES units, compared to the 9 NES units they got last year and I'd say that Nintendo may just end up keeping their word on having more units at launch.

The "I mean" in your post is unnecessary

They'll have more. It still won't be enough. Thankfully they are producing into 2018

 

[Chuckl3s]

Mine changed from Oct 6th to Sept 29th.

 

[GAFmeansLIFE]

Mine changed from Oct 6th to Sept 29th.

Walmart?

 

[darthbob]

Walmart canceled one of my SNES orders

Oh well, at least I still got one.

 

[Tabasco]

Has anyone who preordered through Amazon US got a shipment date yet? I haven't.

A rep told me there's a date of October 11th, but it could change.

 

[hwy_61]

Anyone not from the U.K. go for the expedited global shipping on Amazon U.K.? I'm tempted...

 

[kitchenmotors]

If you have a Best Buy instore pickup, I don't believe they'll charge you now until you get it on Friday.

 

[VanWinkle]

What store do you work at?

Walmart.
