Normally I get a notification if I used PayPal but didn't get anything BUT also no cancellation email from Walmart so crossing my fingers.

Supposedly had already sold out before the page crashed.

I got mine in really early and my card was charged, but didn't get an e-mail confirmation yet. Not going to get my hopes too high.

Do they have like 30 separate walmart accounts? Walmart limited it to 2 per account.

Knowing Slickdeals, probably.

I got a confirmation email immediately, and this was 2 minutes before it went out of stock.

Well now I'm concerned. I used the Walmart app and the order is listed as processing there, so it's in the system at least. I hope. I got it in like 5 minutes into the sale so we'll see.

Edit:
Dammit I'm stupid. I was checking the wrong email account. The confirmation email has been sitting there for like 45 minutes already.

NR1 · Jul 22, 2017

I got the "Your product is back in stock at Walmart.com" email and was floored when I saw it was for the SNES Classic. Got 1 on order thanks to my friend back home. Saw it was posted by Wario here on NeoGAF and I knew they would be gone fast.

It was limited to two per order. Not per account.

SinCityAssassin · Jul 22, 2017

Walmart says mine is processing, so that's good.

Don't underestimate the people on Slickdeals.

Also I'm sure some of there were joking/exaggerating, but I'm sure people were preordering tons of them.

Vincent Alexander · Jul 22, 2017

I got an email saying order is being processed....but I placed mine a good 10 minutes before it went out of stock. Hopeful it goes through? Did people who order get more than just Processing?

Oooooh. Didn't notice difference.

What's wrong with my comment? Is talking about scalpers against TOS now?

While it's not specifically against the site's TOS, it doesn't add anything meaningful to the conversation. This is especially true for a stock alert thread after the item has already gone out of stock.

LiK said:
Can you make the thread? It's certainly worth having a discussion about now. Please.

It's be awesome if we could have a thread set up so we could talk about it with clear rules in the first post.

I might put something together give me a few minutes

No, because the next step is Shipped.

I was already working on something, but if you are going to list rules you might as well and make it so they are more "official"

rje · Jul 22, 2017

I got a confirmation email form walmart and an order email from paypal, so I know it processed - now the only thing to worry about is whether or not they cancel batches of orders.

Posted this in the locked thread, but did anyone else get charged/hold a separate $23 charge on their account when preordering?

Nope, just checked, only the $79.99.

Yes that's cool.

LiK · Jul 22, 2017

I don't believe the cancellation reports unless our own Gaffers are canceled. Can't trust some people making shit up to scare others.

Golgo 13 · Jul 22, 2017

I go to my order in about 5 minutes after it went live, and I got a confirmation email. Am I still in danger of it being cancelled? Used PayPal

Wow. Duh. Yeah. Checked my PayPal email and the order amount was submitted. Thanks for reminding me lol.

Seriously, if any order will be canceled it will be mine. I literally did the order and then the tweet from Wario came in that it was OOS like 30 seconds later. I'll keep you posted.

I ordered one, and still says processing.

Netherscourge · Jul 22, 2017

Just got an Email from Walmart saying preorders are up.

Not sure if they still are.
Good luck.

MythicReclaimer · Jul 22, 2017

Got processing confirmation email with payment pending through method of payment, and shipment says Arrives by: Wed Oct 4.

Merrydeath · Jul 22, 2017

Damn. I was on the phone when this happened..
Got the alert and it was too late.
Damn.
But this means BB and Amazon will be up soon.
Its going to be a Long weekend.

maty · Jul 22, 2017

My preorder was inmediately cancelled just after receiving the confirmation email. They said they couldn't verify my payment information :´(

Mine is oct 10, and I'm sure now that wallmart opened the rest will to.

Mine is pickup after 6PM on the 5th.

Unknown Soldier · Jul 22, 2017

Damn, I only ordered one but I need another one to give to my nephew as a Christmas present.

Gotta keep my eyes peeled on Amazon and Best Buy now.

Madame M · Jul 22, 2017

Mine says Oct 5, I wonder why it's different for some people

Damn. Well I guess I'll have to be on my toes for bb and amazon.

ElMexiMerican · Jul 22, 2017

Mine says arriving October 3rd.

Quadraphonic · Jul 22, 2017

Those shipping dates are accurate by the way. I pre-ordered the Switch from Wal-mart FOR PICKUP and mine wasn't ready until 3 days after it launched. So yeah...

hiryu2015 · Jul 22, 2017

My WM preorder went to processing. Arrives October 5th.

eXMomoj · Jul 22, 2017

Mine says arrives BY Oct 5th. I think they gave themselves some wiggle room just in case, but the page did way it would ship Sept. 29th I believe with free 2 day shipping.

DeathPeak · Jul 22, 2017

Mine is set to arrive the 5th. Seems like they've got a set amount they're going to ship out each day that week.

Fjordson · Jul 22, 2017

I fucking missed it. Ugh.

Hopefully Amazon and Best Buy get them.

cordy · Jul 22, 2017

Given this went through, how does this look for Amazon and Gamestop? Anyone remember when they put their preorders up last year once one started theirs?

whitemex88 · Jul 22, 2017

Damn I was watching a movie and missed this entirely

Bobby Roberts · Jul 22, 2017

Email verified
No cancellation. Order processing.
Estimated delivery date October 6th.

I think I remember reading Target was the only retailer to do US preorder for the NES mini? Maybe someone else can confirm/deny.

If I remember right, they all more or less fell in line within hours or at most a day or two after the first retailer pulled the trigger. That's no guarantee the same thing will happen this time though. I'm still kind of incredulous that these Walmart orders are legit and not the result of some blunder on their end.

Selling stuff at 11 at night. Nintendo thinks families that play E-Rated games and use parental controls are up at these hours?

Amazon was a big clusterfuck. They sent an email a few days prior about pre orders going up on a Friday I think at like 4pm PST. Shit crashed immediately

They can't control Walmart, at least I don't think.

Toys R Us also did them but the window was very short.

Target also cancelled quite a few of their preorders

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
