Did you read Wario's post about it going up at "6 retailers" meaning 6 different stores, and think it was "6pm for retailers"?
Dude. Why are you trolling this thread?

I wonder if I should head to GS now in case in store preorders are available.

That makes sense since they list 6 retailers on the official page.

I contacted someone I know who works there, said nothing in the system yet and they haven't been told anything. He'll let me know if that changes and I'll be glad to update if I hear anything but very possible they'll only do them online.

a quote worthy of being in this ad
Oh man. Good - Buy, Amagon, We R Out. I'm dead.
After what Amazon did, yeah.
Wario is your best shot online, otherwise keep an ear to the ground if GS does in store stuff.

Wario64 notifications seems to be the best way to go. Of course it only is effective if you have your phone around when it starts popping off (and not charging in silent next to your bed like last night).
Other websites that track stock such as nowinstock apparently missed the Amazon pre-order last night because Amazon decided to make a new listing in a different URL that was originally being tracked. Wario64 still found it though so stick with his tweets and you should be good.
It's still a crap shoot regardless. Good luck!
How about if we missed out due to walmart shenanigans? I want in. Also you are the shit.

When did best buy go up? I just checked and it still says "coming soon". Ugh I'll never be able to get one at this rate.
Frayed- would love if you could keep me in mind!!!

Id hold off on that if I were you, some people cancelled their UK preorders after the Wal Mart preorder happened and then of course the Wal Mart orders got cancelled and they were left w/ nothing.
The UK preorder might not even ship to the US anyway so Id keep it as a backup backup until you know for sure your US order is coming.
I can't watch any of these. My sodium levels will only go up.

Came so close to getting a pre-order last night. It kills me that staying up with an infant wasn't enough to jack up my sleep schedule and get me a slot.
I set up https://www.nowinstock.net/ to give me alerts via phone and text. Worked for the both the NES and SNES for me.
Nintendo loves doing this for some super odd reason.

I've hardly touched twitter in the past. Is there any way to filter notifications while following someone like Wario64, or am I stuck getting a notification every time he tweets? Can't seem to find anything in the settings.

This is all playing out exactly as I feared.
Sigh.

You're stuck getting notifications every time he tweets.

Multiple people, myself included, didn't get notifications from them for Best Buy and Amazon this morning. Wario is apparently more reliable than a computer.

Huh? Walmart hasn't gone back up.
PhoenixSFT

That's because Nowinstock had a different listing to alert you on, Amazon put up a brand new listing this morning for these pre-orders.
Euphoria14
Member
Yeah, you will get zero advanced notice and people who get one are those with bots or thise who refresh web pages all day long.
Vincent Alexander

What about Best Buy ?
I received one for Best Buy while I was asleep but Amazon appears to have put up an entirely different listing.

Rumors from the other thread. Someone mentioned his friend works at Walmart.com and confirmed preorders at 1EST and Rumor is others will start at the same time.
