So the guy provided some laughter in a thread where there's literally NOTHING going on, and got banned. Ok then.
I don't agree with it personally but not much I can do past this post, and I've seen it happen before for this stuff. I hope it's not perma either cause then wtf

Considering people are in the thread waiting for someone to say 'It's up' and a link to the page to place an order, that type of joke isn't needed nor wanted. We get that it is a joke but people got banned for the same joke beforehand.

while he did have a good joke i understand why he was banned. just the rules mang, we should direct ourselves back to the topic instead of talking about a ban
 
After having my phone under the desk and a load of sites on rotation I managed to get one in the UK this afternoon from Amazon just as my boss wandered over and heard me exclaim 'yes' as my order went through.

"Was that important"

"That depends how you feel about old games"

And that's how I found out my boss used to be a Spectrum gamer.

Spectrum was my first system, or at least the one that I have the earliest memories of. I used to play a game on it that I'd love to know the name of, but I can hardly remember much about it... I think you controlled a dog (that walked upright) and it was a sort of platformer/puzzler.

I am sure this has already been addressed, but I am still bum out that chrono trigger aint there.

When you complete all the games that are there, you unlock chrono trigger, dkc2, dkc3, the quintet trilogy, Zombies Ate My Neighbors, Tetris Attack, and a special SNES version of Mother 3.
 
Just out of curiosity, since I know there are sites that datamine Ebay: is there any way to see how many NES Minis were sold? And similarly, how many were listed on Craigslist?

The reason being, I wonder if we could get a rough idea about how many were resold by scalpers vs units produced, or maybe at least vs US sales (we got NPD figures, right?)

Was it 5%? 50%? It'd be interesting to know.

I wonder if Amazon.com is going to wonder why Up had a massive influx of traffic all of a sudden.

lol
 
I have a question.

How many more days you got for this?

I really hope people don't hold out too long, NOA is almost definitely not going to be taking preorders for this. They want the foot traffic and headlines of giant mobs of people searching for their products.

Unless I missed some confirmation today that they will open preorders at some point.

People willingly trolling like that only cause a ton of responses from everyone and it just turns the thread into chaos. Like it or not, it's a stupid tactic and people should know by now that the mods don't like it. Was it funny and gave me a laugh? Sure. It just shouldn't be encouraged because it breeds copycats...

A lot of people are using this thread to keep updated on when it goes live. If we don't ban these it sets a precedent that it's okay for anybody to do it and nobody wants that.
 
Can anyone confirm the euro version will work in US? I saw a lot of people saying they got it shipped to the states but I know there is an ac adapter difference or something isn't there for pal ?
 
I'm becoming more and more convinced that Nintendo is going to refuse pre-orders in the US again, like they did last time. I guess they feel it builds buzz better if they turn it into nationwide battle royale.

In all honesty, even though it's nasty, that makes more sense that they way they did it in Europe this time. By the time normal people had even heard about it it was sold out everywhere. At least last time there was a warning and an advertised pre-order date.

I hope Amazon UK cancel all US orders.

Don't get me wrong; I hope you guys manage to get hold of one, but not at the expense of us here in the UK.

I'm honestly pissed off with the US peeps here. Seriously, fuck you.

Amazon UK pls, cancel the pre-orders for US people already.

Ya, cancel the us preorders!!!

To be fair, this is in direct reference to people asking basic questions.

To your point - I must have not read enough because I thought I would see a lot more people from the UK outraged on US buyers taking some of the stock, like you sound like you are implying, but it seemed pretty undramatic from what I witnessed. Maybe at the time it went live yesterday morning punches were being thrown.

Here ya go. A few of the punched being thrown around.

Well, that's obviously cause Square is doing a full remake with HD redrawn sprites, full orchestral score, an new added scenario based on Radical Dreamers, and 5+ new endings!

A man can dream.

It is stupid but that's why i quickly edited my post to acknowledge its the rule. As for the length? Def not perma worthy unless he comes back and does it again (other boards have a log for bans by the user so I would assume here too unless one and done).

Can someone tell me why people think pre-orders will be up soon?

Because Amazon UK and DE have taken pre-orders. There is no reason to believe US is not far behind. The delay actually kind of makes no sense. Oh wait it does because Nintendo.

What pisses me off the most is that there's no communication from NOA. A simple "Pre-order will start this day/next week/month", or "we won't take pre-order this time" would be better than waiting all this time without knowing if or when pre-orders will be available.

It's up to retailers when they start taking pre-orders
