SNES Classic Preorder Shitshow Discussion (Please Read Rules in OP)
- Thread starter NeOak
- Start date
I'm definitely gonna start calling Walmart, BB, Target, and maybe gamestop and see what their plans on for selling this thing.
You know what Id really like? A thread that collects all of the commercials, magazine ads, and any other interesting stuff from each game during their original release.
It would probably be too big to fit them all in one thread, so maybe one thread for each game? Too bad we couldnt do a 21 SNES Games Countdown or something.
Either way I really want to start seeing that stuff.

lol i'm sure we'll all be good. it would be cruel if they decided to cancel our orders now when we've had them placed for so long already

Have to figure out if I want to keep my UK preorder or give it to someone and stand in line for a US version.

I do it all the time. It's the last thing that can fuck up your order. i.e. it won't.

SNES Book looks more like a compendium than a guide. Keeping my preorder in place.
Amazon chat rep just said guaranteed delivery by October 11th, for what it's worth.
Thanks.
Thanks.

It's always Walmart...From /r/miniSNES, it seems some Walmart's have placed them on shelf and a few people were successful in purchasing them.
Someone needs to plug it into a PC and tell us if the computer recognizes a data connection. That means hacking is a go.

Ya know, it's a beautiful thing to see 4 generations of Nintendo games in a display case like that.From /r/miniSNES, it seems some Walmart's have placed them on shelf and a few people were successful in purchasing them.

Looks like a pending charge showed up on my bank card for the price of the SNES mini...which is the only think it could be.
Lets see if Wal-mart comes through.

Not sure if true, but I read someone say on GBAtemp that the guy who wrote hakchi is like 99% convinced that it will be the exact same process, based on the information he was given from people who had one early.

I also got the "awaiting authorization" status and I never changed payment info. I did do the order as in store pickup instead of shipping so maybe it's related to that?

For Walmart, as soon as it's midnight, are you able to buy the SNES classic? Sorry if it's already been answered. I am thinking about going to toyrus or Best Buy early to see if there's a chance of me picking one up without preordering.

A few days now. I've been on edge since I've got my order in. I just want to see it preparing for shipping.

I'm willing to bet that it'll be able to be hacked in the exact same way as the NES Mini.
EDIT: ^^^ yep looks like it.

Anyone here have any experience of pre-ordering with Amazon UK? I have had my SNES pre-order since they opened it in June and had a look at the order page today. It says it's arriving here in Ireland on release day on Friday, when are they likely to charge me?
I'm not paid until about 4am on Thursday morning, so if they charge me before that it will get rejected. I assume if this happens I will lose my pre-order?

That's the best news!! This also bodes well for the reintroduced NES Classic next year being the same.
