Reading the listing, one strange thing that sticks out in the mention of including two controllers. Or is that true for the package?
True in the real packaging. This looks like an early posting by Amazon. Preorder and you can cancel if needed.

That's true for the package.
But I still don't trust this link. Amazon has a bad habit of creating phantom preorder pages that never get fulfilled and later creating or updating a second listing that is legit. Happened to me with a movie recently. Wasn't a big deal, as I was looking to cancel that order anyway, but still.

I just put an order through. Let's see if they cancel.

Outside of the Super bored narrator, lol.
Man though, I hope they do a NES Classic Redux with rewind and frames.
And both of those features better be part of the Switch VC, assuming it ever freaking comes.
Me too, and based on the description, I think it's a stealth launch of the Pre-Order to give fans a chance to get it before scalperbots...

Same here. Might as well.

From what I can see, whoever created the page merely copy/pasted the name from the blue joy-cons.

"Nintendo Digital Downloads"
Is there any possibility that they announce some kind of digital SNES Classic that you can buy on your Switch if you don't want the actual item?
Just suggesting.

Preordered that GameTrust version from Amazon! Now to see what will happen.

To me it looks shady with the strange item name, sort of like a third-party knockoff? No familiarity with the brand, and google isn't helping. ...I ordered one anyway.
Interesting theory. It's Nintendo, so no level of creepy oddities are out of bounds.
Amazon doesn't on any preorders.
Amazon sometimes posts items early with weird descriptions as they are filling them out.
I preordered the PS4 in February when the official preorder didn't start until June.
Nope thats why Im not to worried about preordering this just incase it isnt real.

But if you search the original SNES Classic listing is still there next to it...
Same name is used for the official blue joy-con set though. That's why I think it's legit.

I don't know what the Amazon link is, but I got one ordered now.

I ordered too.
E-mail header is Your Amazon.com order of "Nintendo Digital...".
Really doubt this is the right thing, guys. :\

Says its shipped and sold by Amazon. Cant go wrong with placing an order.

The email header is always just the product listing title truncated, and that's literally what you posted, so I'm not sure why that's a reason to doubt.

Now the only question is how many do I want. This is also the only way to buy a real SNES controller for the Wii U as well.

Whoever discovered this first seems to have scooped even Wario (who just tweeted about it now). Kudos!
Waiting to see if I get a pending on my credit card. That would suggest it's legit.

Oh I see. Well, I don't mind being wrong. I am glad to just get a preorder for what looks like it'll be the item we're all dying for.
When using he search string Super Nintendo Classic Edition for the last month only a picture of the box with the Currently Unavailble tag beneath it. This new listing just happens to come up just a couple of hours after Best Buy throws theirs up. I would think that's too much of a coincidence, so I'd wager 10 bucks that this is the preorder we're looking for!

Missed the Best Buy preorders, but I got this one. Hope this one actually works!

Apparently someone had a talk with a rep and the rep told him it's the real deal.
Obviously it's not 100 percent confirmed still but this might mean it's happening either now or very soonish.

Yeah I came across it just searching amazon for "SNES Classic" thinking the nowinstock.net link might be borked so I checked manually just in case. Missed out on the NES Classic and that sucked so I'm tryin to be on top of the SNES preorders. Can't afford to pay a scalper $500

Man, I hope so!!!
If this falls through too after the Walmart debacle, I'll be doubly disappointed.
Yeah I ordered 2 because I need one for myself and one for my brother but if they don't cancel them all I'm guessing my order will becut ba k to 1

Pre ordered. Hope it's legit

Doing the Lord's work for GAF. Much appreciated.
Put 2 in my order. Amazon has in the past knocked quantities down to 1 if restrictions come up, if I recall? Hopefully this means I just finished my 90% of my holiday shopping and I might get actual kudos for effort for a change.
