I just got an email update for my SNES mini pre-order from Walmart saying that my new release date is set for Sep 29 - it was previously Oct 6.
Edit: nevermind? I have a cancellation email in my promotions box. This is a rollercoaster of emotion :|
Edit 2: The walmart site shows the pre-order is still active, and shows the updated shipping date.

Don't do this to yourself.
They're sending e-mails about the date change because the original date they had (sometime in October) was incorrect. It's an automated update. The order have been cancelled, and again Nintendo is to take a large portion of the blame/your rage.
Those of you posting hope posts are just deluding yourselves. It's been canceled. For everyone.

Actually had something similar happen back in March for Tekken 7..Walmart made a boo boo and charged 60 bucks for the collectors edition which should have been around 130 bucks..they canceled the order but they also sent me a pre order change release date but after a day the order was canceled

Can you guys bother to read a couple posts before posting the same thing over and over again? These. Orders. Are. Cancelled...All. Of. Them.
The emails about the date changes are automatic emails being generated as the cancellation process happens on the backend. Give it a day or two and your order status will be updated on the Walmart website.
THERE IS NO HOPE. (I am in this mess too. Don't hold on anymore. Let go and accept this fate).

MFW I missed out on the preorder, and come back to realize everyone's preorder is getting cancelled.

Wonder if there is anyway to convince Nintendo HQ that consumers hate how Nintendo of America is run, and that we buy their products despite this but might eventually come to a point where we just don't want to put up with their shit anymore. The most visible way I could see is if they were voted most hated company (lol) in that poll that goes on every year.

I've called them numerous times with debacles like this and gave them what I hope was constructive feedback. Always spoke to a supervisor who were always nice, and just vented my frustration. I like to think this feedback finds its way to the top at some point and I'll continue to do it.

I just got a cancellation email. But I also never placed an order. I tried to but I didn't have enough for the authorization hold.
Why did I get one though???

I got the cancellation email today but then later on I got an email saying that my delivery date has been updated to be September 29th lol. I checked Walmart.com and the order is still processing. It's probably still going to get canceled but it's weird that I got that second email.

I'll see you Wal-Mart orphans on the battlefield. No free rides: the SNES mini can only be won with sweat and blood.
So... hang on, bunches of you are preordering from Amazon UK, despite living in the US?
Thanks for making it even harder to get one of these, I guess
I had a preorder from Tesco cancelled twice after missing out on Amazon. Guess I'm never getting this stupid little console that has my favourite childhood game of all time on it (Secret of Mana). Fuck you, Nintendo.

Not really, the shipping to US lasted like a minute or two. Then they put the restriction.

Well if I have enough to buy an extra I'll sell it here on GAF for the same price. Might as well help out if I see the opportunity to get one for somebody here.

All of my 2,681 SNES Classic pre-orders from Walmart are intact
Danny ODwyer just posted an actual cancellation email. It said they are working on a solution to the error.

Pretty sure that's just a generic message that goes out when they do mass cancellations for a product. There's not really anything to 'solve' if they aren't allowed to take orders yet.

They've always sent out the same message.

No no, for the SNES Classic.
I believed you when you said that was a generic message.
