I got charged from ThinkGeek for my SNES and Tetris Lamp. Woohoo I guess.

You're lucky. I had to get the mushroom plush, mug, and calendar bundle. Happy it was charged because that means I'll get it soon, but having to justify frivolous goods and looking at my wallet bums be out.

I guess we're both luckier than those poor Megaman helmet bastards ;P

I'm excited to hook it in and play some Starfox and Yoshi's Island!

everyone should check amazon fresh too...

 

[friskykillface]

Think geek people

You can easily buy one within 30 days and return the entire bundle
Don't get stuck with that garbage

 

[manzoman96]

My Best Buy order hasn't shipped yet, but the charge hit my credit card yesterday. Can't be too far off.

I already got a tracking number lol

 

[RustySpoon]

I'm going to be in a constant state of feeling ill until Friday morning when I go to Best Buy and my pre-order is waiting for me.

They screwed me on my Metroid amiibo preorder, I totally expect them to screw me on this too. And before someone says "should have had it shipped", I was trying to order super fast and couldn't change it after the fact.

 

[Count of Monte Sawed-Off]

Yeah my Best Buy order has shipped. Amazon people, don't worry, Amazon always seems to ship my preorders at the last minute but I always get them on time.

 

[Hopeford]

So I accidentally ended up with an extra order from Game(friend got me one as a gift, Game order is apparently shipping here now, I live in Canada).

Just letting you guys know, if anyone here missed out on pre-orders, you can have my extra Game one at cost when it gets here

 

[Crumbtiny]

Anyone else have little activity on their Best Buy order? Still says "awaiting auth" and no charge on my card yet.

Prepare yourself for an onslaugt of PMs, lmao

Every Target should receive 20-50 SNES Classics to sell on launch day. The locations around me all have quantities in the 40s.

 

[Fjordson]

My Best Buy order just moved to "Preparing". Hope I'm safe now.

Mine showed 63, which I think is a peculiar number.

I should be able to nab one, but it just seems odd from a total unit number.

Why 63? Not 65 or 60?

 

[MoxManiac]

Am i going to have to be at target at the crack of dawn?

 

[Realeza]

So... what are the chances of being able to buy one without pre-order?

 

[Aeana]

US Best Buy order shipped.
Now I just need my JP one and my life will be complete.

A sealed case contains 6 units, so I expect the majority of stores to get a multiple of 6.

Didn't realize it was 6 per box.

Figured it was 5.

This is my plan for launch day. Expecting a few to show up in NYC, it's how I got my Switch a few weeks post launch.

 

[Naked Snake]

Just a heads up that pre-orders are currently up at Amazon.it:

https://www.amazon.it/dp/B073FNFTL2/

Can confirm they won't ship to the U.S., not sure about other countries.

They have been in stock there all the time for months. They don't ship to other countries.

They might drop partial cases into totes. I'd imagine they have some sort of algorithm that tells them what percentage of their stock to send where.

 

[Vyse The Legend]

So... what are the chances of being able to buy one without pre-order?

Laughably easy, based on confirmed stock numbers for big brick and mortar retailers, if you go when they open on launch day. Fully expect launch stock to be gone by day's end, though.

 

[maxcriden]

So long as they only allow one per person, I think it will be doable. I don't know about laughably easy, though. I think these may fly off the shelves at opening.

 

[Naked Snake]

Looking forward to the "Reggie wasn't lying, here's your grilled crow everyone" thread.

 

[Harbinger of War]

Ha, I guess I would've noticed that myself if I had expanded the tracker history.

Oh, for sure. People are still in panic mode, so a majority of the stock will be gone at opening, hence why I recommend showing up then.

However, I'm in NYC, a city with 8+ million people, and I'm confident that, if I went to the Best Buy by me which is getting 150 units, I'd have ZERO problem getting one. The longest wait will be spent at check out.

 

[BocoDragon]

You and me both.

US pre-order secured... but the mission isn't over yet.

Man that's awesome to hear.

 

[Hispanic! At the Disco]

Ugh I work a 12 hour shift on friday. Since a child the universe has prevented me from owning an snes.

 

[F34R]

If there are any at my local wal mart on launch day, I'll get some for people here that otherwise can't get it. It'll be at cost and some help with shipping charges.

 

[Hopeford]

Got no PMs actually, imagine people in the thread mostly got their preorders sorted out haha.

 

[Dark_3nergy]

I'm not sure, from the posts I've seen in the thread about inventory have anything to say, it'll be readily available. It's just a location thing at this point, who got how many specifically.

 

[ahoyhoy]

Local Target finally updated and is listing 89 in stock.

Feels good mang. Can't imagine that many people lining up at opening.

Does Target limit to one per customer for launches?

 

[RomanceDawn]

My local Toys R Us has told me they arrived as early as Saturday and they have a ton. The guy also said it won't be enough so be safe and line up early any way.

 

[Bill R Boggess]

That's good to know.

I wonder if I can nab one for store pickup, assuming they allow it.

 

[spock]

Anyone know if you can adjust the quantity of order from target? I have 2 coming and am iffy on the 2nd unit. Cant really get to a target to return it after the fact sadly.

 

[AMxKaOtIcDeV]

any idea when amazon.co.uk orders will get billed / shipped?

Can't speak for launch day, but with the second shipment of NES Classics my target got, they limited it to 1 per person (not household/family). A family at the front of the line (mom, dad, teenage kid, and some other family member) all bought 1. They had 6 that day.

 

[TehOh]

Have a Walmart preorder, and one for that mysterious Amazon listing. Still nervous and considering going and standing in line Friday morning. What have you done to me Nintendo?

are you sure they can ship to US? because i have a preorder with a US address....

 

[Ovid]

I still have my old Sony CRT in storage, but haven't used it since the Wii days.

Except very briefly to test an N64 power supply I bought recently, fired up Pilotwings 64 on that bad boy.

How would I go about using this on a CRT? Do I have to get an HDMI to RCA cable?

 

[Noboru Wataya]

Anyone here have movement from the Nintendo store yet? Mine is still at "awaiting stock". The reason I'm pretty concerned is I had to change bank cards between preorder and now and have no way to update until it fails.

 

[Merchandise]

Best Buy still hasn't shipped ugh

 

[Wingfan19]

Same, I haven't even gotten an email saying my order was changing to the next stage.

Using RCA cables is a bad idea if you care about image quality.

You want S-Video at a minimum. Component or RGB ideally.

If your CRT only takes RCA (aka composite video). Throw it out.

I assume HDMI to Component or RGB converters are a thing. Better check with the knowledgeable folks over here: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1287575
