Of course they ship to portugal. Its the second country from the drop down box after Spain. Its not in Alphabetic order maybe that's why you didn't notice it

Same here, if something goes wrong I want to be able to speak the necessary language to be able to sort it out
Me too! Good luck, fellow anxious waiter.

actually buying games is becoming a game in it's own right.

I can't believe I missed it again. I'm not gonna be able to get it am I? The only Spanish places left are MediaMarkt and Game.es...
Nevermind I find hilarious that on the Portuguese site they don't even have any entry for the legacy edition or normal one.Of course they ship to portugal. Its the second country from the drop down box after Spain. Its not in Alphabetic order maybe that's why you didn't notice it

on media markt.ch they don't even have the normal edition listed....
also isn't there still amazon.it / amazon.co.uk / amazon.de left too?
I use a Firefox plugin called Distill to check the page every 5 seconds. No way I'm missing this
Thanks for the heads up on this tool. It doesn't quiet work well on Firefox but with Chrome it seems to work like intended, so I am now monitoring the page on Amazon.de in a 20 second interval.^^

Yeah, just meant Spanish sites since that's where I'm from. I'll pay the import fees if it comes to that and they don't sell out instantly.
Still though missing it on my local Amazon was a huge bummer.

UK is still a no-show.
Spain has import fees for stuff from European countries?

Kinda wish this was on Switch now so I could actually import. Forget getting a Euro 3DS after already owning a Japanese and US one.

I asked amazonhelp.
"Aktuell haben wir leider noch keine Infos dazu. Halte einfach weiter die Augen auf unserer Website offen
fuck. lol
"right now we don't have an information about that. just keep a look at our website"
I guess it's over now for today?....
Actually if you live in the canary islands you get import fees...even from the rest of Spain. Super sad.

do they upload in the evening/night? Or can i rest a little and try again tomorrow?

Nintendo UK put the SNES classic up whilst I was eating dinner the fucking weasels so no, you must wait until at least midnight to be sure.
They put it up around 3:30pm BST, actually. Having pre ordered from them a lot, I've noticed they tend to put up pre orders between 2-4pm. Amazon UK is a little more random, though.

You're right, I was in a meeting. It was Amazon and GAME that screwed me at dinner time the night before. They should have called my PA before doing anything ffs.
Yeah Amazon and GAME put up their SNES Mini pre orders in the evening. It's sad that I'm so used to frantically pre ordering Nintendo products that I was able to predict that they would do just that, haha. They did the same thing last year with the NES Mini.
