Who are you guys following on twitter for the alerts?

Preorders going up at 6 for retailers

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?

Wario64

 

[That Damn Kid]

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

 

[Euphoria14]

I think they read warios tweet wrong. It says preorders will go up for 6 retailers.

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

Whoops read Warios text wrong Sorry folks

 

[dustytruly]

Any news at all for Canadian retailers?

 

[ccbfan]

Currently have 68 extra consoles, I will be helping people who missed out on a FCFS basis, and yes I will be helping them for retail, not scalper price.

Would love to get one if there's on available. Thanks

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.

What's the best way to jump on this? Wario64 notifications? Today is a great day for this to happen considering I have nothing going on, but I feel like even if I get on the the website at the very moment preorders start I still only have a 5% chance of getting one.

After what Amazon did, yeah.

Damnit, Nintendo. Hopefully these allocations are just the first wave of many

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.

 

[YunFang1130]

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!!!

I was up at 5 am for work and managed to get an order in. I ordered 2 (one for myself and one for a gift). I hope they don't cancel it.

I still have an Amazon UK pre-order that I will likely cancel soon.

I’d 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 I’d keep it as a backup backup until you know for sure your US order is coming.

Is there a list of links for the retailers who will put up preorders today at 1PM EST?

[GifGafIsTheBestGaf]

Nothing is confirmed. At all.

Fucking hell, great fucking idea putting pre orders up when most people are sleeping.

 

[Ivan A Nguyen]

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.

 

[KaYotiX]

This will end up like the NES classic for me.....

Trying hard as hell to get one for a month, then saying fuck off Nintendo after I can't find it.

 

[GordonShumway]

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.

 

[DocEmmettBrown]

This is all playing out exactly as I feared.

Sigh.

You're stuck getting notifications every time he tweets.

 

[Hero_of_the_Day]

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.

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.

 

[Bakercat]

I don't get it, the Nintendo amazon page hasn't changed and amazon preordered through a new page? Does that mean we'll see more preorders on the official snes classic amazon page later?

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]

This is all playing out exactly as I feared.

Sigh.

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.

What about Best Buy ?

 

[IronRinn]

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

 

[Hustler]

Where did you hear that?

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.

 

[Rollo Tomasi]

I would like to be added to the "list" for one, thank you friend.

I'm honestly glad my boss is out today so at least I can keep track of some alerts here.
