SNES Classic Preorder Shitshow Discussion (Please Read Rules in OP)
- Thread starter NeOak
- Start date
Which are the best controller extensions? I'm looking at the results on amazon, but there are many options.
Also, has anyone used this 8Bitdo Retro Receiver for their NES Classic? If so, did it work well. The SNES Classic will be a permanent addition to my entertainment system, so I would like to have the best (affordable) accessories with it.
Any input would be hugely hugely appreciated.

My Best Buy order just shipped. Amazon, not yet.

First EB marks my preorder as cancelled (it wasn't, thankfully). Then I pay extra for Express shipping thinking I'd get it faster but it's still marked as "Estimated: 5th October". It gets marked as "Shipped" but that's only them sending the shipping info to Australia Post so that the tracker starts.
Oh well, as long as one actually shows up I'll be fine.

We have a long weekend coming up so shipping is going to be screwy, especially since this thing launches on a Saturday for us.
For me it works amazing.. im using it with the WiiU Pro controller... no regrets.
My order was charged a few hours ago. Order page says preparing for dispatch so no tracking number yet.

For us non-preorder people:
What is you line up strategy? I am planning on hitting up Walmart around 9 and waiting there to gauge demand. If it looks too crowded I was going to hit a shopping center in cntral NJ that has both a Target and a bestbuy around 5:00 AM.
I am getting one of these damn things!

Same here. Which shipping method did you use? I did Amazon Global Priority. Hoping it shows up earlier than October 5th. 😁

I might get this and use it with my extra Dual Shock 4. My pets will not tolerate seeing a wire across the living room floor. Are there any input lag problems?

Same as my Walmart order (stage, delivery date).

Amazon US is beginning to get 1 star reviews on the SNES product page XD
By the looks of it, someone might have actually try to sell one for more than the MSRP.

Yep. Mine went through just moments ago.
Same here. I had one pre-ordered from Amazon UK and my Target one shipped a few hours ago.

My Walmart order changed to shipped today, with tracking and everything. But I guarantee somehow this will be fucked.
I'm not taking any chances. I'm camping out at Nintendo NY tomorrow night/Friday morning. Too bad I work and won't be able to get into the 90's party.

Yes.
That was before they locked them to one per account.
I even had a third but they canceled when I linked it to my account.

My Amazon UK order, which I thought for sure would be cancelled given I'm in San Diego (I just figured I'd try, wth right?), just got charged on my card!!!!! It's happening!!!!
If it does indeed get here as now expected, I'll do the right thing and sell my Best Buy preorder at MSRP to a fellow gamer in need, or gift it to a friend for free.

Its not usual for Amazon to be this laggy and late in the game.
Has anyone tried to contact Amazon reps for updates?

Thanks, friend.
On Friday, probably pretty decent. Deeper into the weekend, probably not so much.
Walmart says 'preparing order, will arrive Sept. 29' for me. If they ain't shipped it yet, I'm not holding out hope they're splurging for 1-day shipping.
I contacted this afternoon... And basically, they say that they had no info about deliveries updates or when are they going to ship/release the console... :/
Maybe I'm a bit impatient, but I think it's time to spread the concerns about this preorder with the gaming media (Kotaku, Destructoid, etc.)... At least put a little (very very little) pressure on Amazon US.

Canceled my UK orders.
I think I'll be fine just walking into a store and picking this up.

I think you are overreacting a bit.
yeah, maybe... This year Amazon US has a bad record for me (1 book and their replacement I bought with Int. shipping completely lost, plus another 4 mangas lost from Amazon Spain).
Amazon seems to drop the ball a lot with preorders. I've only ever had problems with preorders from them and nobody else. Quite a few things have either shipped late or have been outright canceled at the last minute.
Glad My Best Buy SNES Classic at least shipped. Was trying to get a second one for my friend. It may eventually ship...
