I'm so fucking annoyed. It's bad enough Amazon switched the page. I signed up for alerts on best buy and received no email from them. I still have the alert confirm email, nothing is in my spam folder. I was awake EST when this went up and didn't get an alert. Fuck.

Everyone on the GAF thread is angry at Nintendo yet don't think to disapprove of the guy with 67 extra consoles in their own thread. How do they think this shit goes missing so fast? People with bots.

Actually got to the checkout at Target and still didn't get one.

Whatever. If I can get one, cool, but not worth worrying about. Maybe it will be like the NES Mini and Amazon Prime will offer them to members only again.

demi · « **Reply #254 on:** August 22, 2017, 01:49:56 PM »

Yup, its all over. If you didnt get one then hope for a random re-stock at some point.

I only got the Best Buy order.

bork · « **Reply #255 on:** August 22, 2017, 03:11:08 PM »

I got a bundle off of ThinkGeek. At least actually had some shit I'd want.

But I wonder if it will stick-- I have an order number, but got no confirmation on anything.

FUCK THIS HUSTLE

I lucked out thanks to my GameStop manager. When the SNES Classic went live for in-store pre-order he shifted my $50 deposit from another game to it. Didn't even have to be in the store and he called me up to let me know he did it. Swung by during lunch to pick-up my receipt and pay it off.

Got screwed on the Walmart order at 1pm yesterday....had an address in there from over 10 years ago so while I was updating that the stock ran out.

Luckily I randomly hit refresh at the perfect time on Target.com, and despite having to enter my CC info twice and then my 3 digit security code I still seemed to snag one.

Chrono Trigger is overrated weeb trash. They put the only worthwhile SNES RPGs on the thing.

Dylan Cuthbert is still losing it over having Star Fox 2 being released. Won't stop posting about and I'm genuinely happy for the guy.

Speaking of which here's the English manual for it: https://www.nintendo.co.jp/clvs/manuals/starfox2/html/USen/index.html

bork · « **Reply #277 on:** September 05, 2017, 09:18:44 AM »

That's really awesome. I guess I can see the reasoning behind them having canceled the game the first time (heard it was because Nintendo didn't want to try to release such a basic 3D game against the Saturn and PS1 at the time), but I still think it was kind of silly that they never put it out on the SNES or released it on another platform like the GBA, DS, or Wii eShop later on.

Fils-Aime, in an interview with the Financial Times, also said that supply of the throwback console, which launches Sept. 29, will be consistent enough that gamers shouldn’t pay more than its $79.99 list price if they’re buying through an auction site.

“I would strongly urge you not to over-bid on an SNES Classic on any of the auction sites,” he told the Financial Times, adding that Nintendo had “dramatically increased” production of the SNES Classic.

Hopefully this turns out to be accurate.

Maybe he meant it

Due to incredible demand for the upcoming Super Nintendo Entertainment System: Super NES Classic Edition system, Nintendo plans to ship the retro-inspired product into 2018. Originally, shipments were announced to cease at the end of this calendar year.
Next summer, Nintendo will also bring back the Nintendo Entertainment System: NES Classic Edition system with new shipments. More information about the timing of the return of NES Classic Edition will be announced in the future.

In addition, more units of Super NES Classic Edition will ship on its Sept. 29 launch day in the U.S. than were shipped of NES Classic Edition all last year, with subsequent shipments arriving in stores regularly.

More units on launch day than the entirety of NES Classic in 2016. Still probably not enough but continuing shipments should alleviate things.

All rumor and conjecture at this point but I'd thought I'd share anyways:

https://nintendeal.com/2017/09/14/initial-super-nes-classic-stock-numbers-suggest-it-should-be-plentiful/

Walmart showing stock averaging in the 30s.
Target’s stock numbers will be between 30 and 90 depending on your store’s market share.
Best Buy will be one per customer with tickets handed out. You'll have 3 hours from store open to claim yours.

demi · « **Reply #293 on:** September 25, 2017, 10:02:45 AM »

My Best Buy and Walmart orders are in "Preparing" stage

Just waiting for that shipment confirmation

Freyj · « **Reply #294 on:** September 25, 2017, 01:57:18 PM »

I'm going to bank on being able to roll up to the Best Buy nearby around 7-8am, grab a ticket an hour later and come back when they open I guess.

Was thinking about hitting up the TRU in the middle of nowhere, but doesn't sound like it's going to be that hard to get one.

a slime appears · « **Reply #295 on:** September 26, 2017, 08:56:40 AM »

Pre-orders went out in literal seconds in the middle of the night so the demand is definitely there. With Best Buy showing about 200 units per store on average and Target is looking like ~60 per store so far it's looking good tbh. This thing will definitely sell out but I hope people can casually walk in day of and pick one up instead of resorting to lining up.

Also this controller sold out super quick: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01A6GCN70/

Yeah it's still in stock on Amazon. I guess they just took it down for a half a day? Hoping to pick one up at GameStop this Friday when I grab my SNES Classic pre-order.

Some have said the Fuzzy visual thing in the Classic is a purposeful thing to mitigate seizure risk? or something.
