That's the thing with apps vs. dedicated gaming platforms; building up a "hardcore" fanbase just doesn't appear to happen on mobile phones. There aren't any qualities to a phone that makes people hand onto them for longer than a year to form a bond, thus bond with the software like you see with PCs and consoles.
Some high level official needs to do a full blown investigation to see exactly what happened. Was this project in the news before this last package shipped? Maybe this was some sort of inside job to make some quick cash? Just speculation but I can't believe our USPS would willingly send that package out to auction just because the label was torn off, yet the address was still visible. I'm usually a pretty calm guy but this story makes me cry out for justice.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE To be fair, speaking as an American, I dislike Nintendo Minute just as much for those same reasons. I get a feeling from them that they're not really gamers, just two pretty faces going through the motions. As for the other stuff I can't comment. Those are dark alleys best left avoided.
Just pre-ordered at Walmart using my discount. Though it should be pointed out that they aren't offering neither Zelfa nor a choice on Joy Con color schemes.
This excites me but I can't help but see a similar situation with the NES Mini's shortages causing it to be targeted by greedy resellers and collectors driving prices up. They really know how to ruin a good thing.

I hope Hamster fixes the input lag in Metal Slug 3. In its current state it's nearly unplayable.

@shaneoh Or worse, some greedy fool who DOES know. These two need to be watching eBay.

@Baker1000 True. I'm just glad to have beaten the eBay scalpers.
