Mine is processing. No signs of anything weird. Maybe people with 1 are safer than people with multiple?

Mine is still good to go. Got my email at 8:43 that it was processing.

I would've been quicker if I didn't have to create a Wal-Mart account first.
I could've sworn I had one, but I tried the password recovery and it said there was no account associated with my email address, so I had to make a new account.

My order was cancelled. Ordered two via the app. And that's the last time I'm shopping at Walmart!

My order is still good as of this morning. Received the order confirmation email.
Anyone know how long it was up in total? 30 min. or so?

I think like 35 minutes, give or take a few minutes.

It said "Limit 2 per customer" on the page, so I don't think that's the issue.

That is some bullshit if they seriously cancel all preorders 'cause they put it up a week early. Like, so what!?
I missed out on the Walmart orders last night, but I was kind of weary of the orders too. Open for almost 40 minutes and 2 per person? Not to mention they outright deleted the page? I hope most orders get honored, but I'm glad I don't have the stress on an order I placed may or may not go through :/

That's what they're telling most people, despite everyone saying all their information was correct.
Dude I had the same concerns when I was on the site, but LastPass confirmed I had an account thankfully.

I've checked throughout the day expected a cancellation but it hasn't come. Hopefully it stays that way. Fully prepared for it not to.
I feel like this thread won't last the weekend lol
I expect an email from Wal Mart corp saying, "We haven't canceled your damn order yet. If you F5 your account page one more time, we will cancel that order!"
lol

That article was speculation
The SNES Classic won't require FCC approval because there is no wireless piece in the device.

No cancel notice for me yet. Ordered one within the first 10 minutes it was up, if that ends up mattering.

Would like to know as well. Instead of putting a single order in for 2, I put in two individual orders.
Hmm. That's odd. What difference would it make if the pre-orders were a week ahead of schedule? If folks got their orders in to get Wal-Mart's stock, shouldn't that matter more than if the pre-orders are up at a specific date? It all serves the same purpose in giving Wal-Mart money.
I ordered two. Want to order some more
The ridiculous hoops to jump through and bullshit drama just for an $80 emulator box. Absurd.
Customer service lies all the time.
I asked a friend who works for Walmart.com doing online inventory stock and he said they aren't even privy to when things go up for pre-order.

That's not how things work.
Wired devices can still cause interference - on an alaogue television and an NES (or SNES, for that matter) connected via coaxial and set to Channel 4, try viewing Channel 5.
If preorders haven't officially started yet, they might not have gotten finalized numbers for how many they are receiving, meaning they're not yet able to guarantee everyone who placed an order will get one.
Might as well be honest since orders are getting canceled anyway -
I got two, one to keep, one to sell
¯\_(ツ_/¯
not gonna lie, i did the same.

_/¯Wal-Mart has burned me twice recently, so I'm not surprised at all to see fuckery.
During the height of the amiibo craze I placed a big order at walmart when they went up first once, ignored the other preorders from gamestop, amazon, best buy etc. because I was "set," then walmart cancelled my order and I was SOL.
Then during the week of the Switch launch this spring they claimed to have the neon red and blue joycon packs, I placed an order....they kept me hanging in "processing" for over 2 weeks, e-mails claiming they were getting it for sure don't worry, then finally "lol we never had them sorry"
Never again will I trust them with limited video game stuff. They just make shit up out of thin air.

Lol I was on the Walmart website last night and I had the SNES in my cart ready to checkout. Then I said to myself "you know what I hate Walmart screw them!" Then I just closed the website and I'm glad for it. I'll take Amazon, Best Buy or stand in line for it any day over buying from Walmart.
until the next limited edition thing you want goes up for order there

"mine is still processing"
That's what happens when you order high demanding shit from walmart. Nearly took a huge L on the black friday 3ds bundle when various retailers opened up orders at the same time and I decided to go with them.

Welcome to Nintendo, where the goal is to always sell to about 1 in 10 people who actually want something.
Yeah, they made 2.3 million NES Classic. I'm willing to guess they could have sold 23 million if they wanted to.
Let's see if they learned their lesson with the SNES Classic, which actually includes a game that has literally never been released after it was canceled 22 years ago! Maybe they'll make 2.4 million this time!
