Topic: SNES Mini

10/5

Sorry guys. I already mentioned on the previous page that I have secured all the SNES mini preorders in North America.

I know something Nintendo could make that would be a more reachable goal: Virtual Boy Classic!

There's only like 11 games from existing companies.
Although I'm probably the only person who would be excited if they released Dragon Hopper. Supposedly it was a pretty good game, or at least what I read in a review by the one person who has a copy.

(no, I don't think they're seriously going to even consider this one. Would say it wouldn't be worth their time writing an emulator which is probably the biggest part of development.)

@DarthNocturnal Yup. Just put up the dang preorders so that I can get one and we can all move on!

They're still not up for preorder in amazon mexico, unfortunately. I don't know if they'll actually be at all.

Well, I preordered and paid in full at the local Gamestop. Not missing out on thisone!

So I signed up to receive a notification when pre-orders became available from Walmart, Best Buy, Amazon, and Gamestop, and the only one that sent me an email or a text was Walmart. And they only sent an email which I didn't get until it was too late and they were already sold out. What exactly is the point of signing up for notifications if they are not going to notify you? Fortunately, I was able to walk into my Walmart and get an NES Classic earlier this year, and they have also had many Switches sitting on the shelves, so I still have faith that I will be able to find one there eventually.

Managed to snag one in store at a Gamestop, paid in full, now just to wait until the 29th

I give up👏

Has anyone else who got in a preorder at Amazon gotten an email stating that they may not be able to meet the delivery date? It says it's still coming, but I'm afraid this is a prelude to having the order cancelled. 😱 So many horror stories during this whole debacle, so it's easy to be skeptical.

@EvilRegal I have been following a forum tracking the SNES Classic and it seems everyone who ordered from Amazon received that email and people with multiple orders were getting them reduced to 1 or cancelled. Right now I feel like the most solid pre order is the in store gamestop one. There was also another 15 minute round of preorders from Walmart this past Friday around 6:00 EST

I'd hate to be the scalper that preordered 10 units, sold them on eBay before getting them, and then received an email saying that their preorder has been limited to one unit (or cancelled).

@Meowpheel I would love to see that. Sweet, sweet justice

@Octane Looks like they are going to continue the US production into 2018 too, makes me happy, hope everyone who wants it can get it without paying scalper $$

So these are in this week's ad for both Best Buy and Target. That makes me a lot more confident that they are actually planning on getting more in stock. I don't remember the NES ones ever being advertised like that, although I could be wrong.

Other people have said as well that they never even saw the spare controllers for the NES Mini that Nintendo announced.

I actually never saw the NES mini anywhere, much less the controllers. The only reason I have an NES mini is because my brother preordered one.

And the only reason we didn't preorder the SNES mini is because the same stores that offered preorders for a tiny fee during the NES mini era, now ask you to basically pay the entire thing without any warranties that you'll actually get it.

And I'm not sure if amazon ever even had any preorders in my country for either console.

And of course just a few hours after I write that I get a sneaky notification from amazon ("Shhh, nobody knows we have the snes available for preorder").

We managed to snag one, and then they were gone.

If only the basic non-scalped retail price in my country wasn't the equivalent to 140 us dollars, I'd be a lot happier about it :'D
