What the fuck, now Amazon won't even load.

 

[MoosiferX]

I wasn't even able to get this for my store from the distributor that Nintendo recommended to us. Was trying to snag one on Amazon here but it seems like a lost cause. ; ;

 

[FallingEdge]

lmao this is fantastic

 

[robotrock]

did this really break amazon

 

[Weevilone]

They shouldn't have even publicized when it would be up. They should know it's just going to break that server.

Nintendo should have cranked these out and made them plentiful, but they never do that.

 

[broncobuster]

Amazon took my money and didn't take my order. Great!

 

[IamDodongo]

wow, they weren't kidding about the shortage

why??

 

[Red]

Why did Nintendo make no units for this

Why

 

[Saint Gregory]

Lesson here is that Nintendo should have packaged the Wii U in an NES case :/

 

[friskykillface]

I got a controller
That's it

Shit went super fast
Welp

 

[superNESjoe]

Why on Earth didn't this have two controllers just packed in? Like...really.

 

[Chris R]

Fucking Nintendo

And Fuck Amazon while we are at it

 

[Escape Goat]

THIS IS WHY we can't have nice things.

 

[FinalStageBoss]

Fuck scalpers

 

[dcassell]

I think I got one. It's in my orders on Amazon, "Not Yet Shipped." Woohoo!

Waiting on a confirmation email before I can celebrate though.

 

[amnesiac]

i think there's still hope.

 

[Rockman]

Nintendo fans have broken Amazon. Dang

 

[Sephzilla]

Why did Nintendo make no units for this

Why

Because then people can talk about buying their product instead of actually buying it

 

[Lasthope106]

Great job people. You killed Amazon.com

 

[Fixins]

I managed to order 5 with my 5 seperate accounts ahahahahah this day is like black gold for me

 

[greycolumbus]

I just wanted to play cheap emulated Nintendo ROMs in a cute package

 

[Camjo-Z]

Well I'm officially done looking for one of these. Fuck off Nintendo.

 

[petethepanda]

You have to hand it to Nintendo for always supporting their audience of diehard scalpers.

 

[joesmokey]

Website crashed for me immediately. Tried the mobile app and it let me click the Buy Now/Add to Cart link, but malfunctioned after that.

 

[Kyrios]

How the hell does it go THAT fast? Everyone using bots? lol

 

[eek5]

Every time I tried to add to cart it would say my cart was empty.

 

[IamDodongo]

Amazon took my money and didn't take my order. Great!

Don't cancel. You probably will get one

The worst they will do is cancel it for you

 

[subrock]

amazon.ca page didn't do much of anything for me. I was refreshing the console only item and no add to cart button ever came up

 

[Escape Goat]

I managed to order 5 with my 5 seperate accounts ahahahahah this day is like black gold for me

I managed to buy 500 witth my 450 accounts!

 

[mightynine]

Amazon works fine, the item page is down.

 

[perfectchaos007]

This thing could easily have a better LTD than the Wii U if freakin Nintendo just kept it in stock

 

[Relaxt]

wow

 

[Kadin]

Amazon just straight up killed the page? haha wow

 

[maxcriden]

Controller still there:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01JT77EDK/?tag=neogaf0e-20

 

[PAULINK]

25 from $249

Man, fuck these people.

This page was originally for the NES console, which is why you're seeing such high prices (though i bet the controller is gonna get gouged hard too).

Controller still there:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01JT77EDK/?tag=neogaf0e-20

shows in stock but adding to your cart tells you outta stock.

[Maxim726X]

I can't cancel if I wanted it. It won't show up. My gift credit is just gone haha.

Same. Had to go to the app. Button showed but it brought me to an error page.

 

[Weevilone]

And you are part of the problem. Scalpers suck and then some.

 

[Kaladin]

Everything on Amazon still works, except for the console page.

I think they took it down.

 

[Zombine]

You're not going to last long around here but I'm sure you know that.

 

[Snaku]

Scalping shit heel.

 

[AkumaNiko]

while everyone is freaking out over this, there is always retropi

 

[robotrock]

IM so mad. How else am I going to play Mario Bros on an HD tv

 

[RedRumy3]

apps shows its not in stock now but website doesnt load lolo my god.

 

[Sephzilla]

Main Amazon.com doesn't load for me

 

[Figboy79]

Well that was bullshit. It said "Buy $59.99," so I quickly added it to my cart. "Sorry, your cart is empty!" Tried a few more times, adding it to my cart, and nothing. Fuck you, Amazon. I'm a Prime member. What a shitshow.

 

[Mushroomer25]

Well, I was able to snag one of the controllers off Amazon. No luck on the actual console, though. (To be fair, only bought the controller for a friend who already nabbed a system.

It's a shame that this thing probably won't be readily available for the holiday. At the $60 price point, this thing is perfect. Fun novelty, and works well for what it's doing. Controller also great. But the second you can't just pick this up easily at a local store - it loses total appeal. It's an impulse holiday buy.

 

[KaYotiX]

What a cluster fuck
