Best Buy's stock tracking computers are funny sometimes. One time I went into the store and asked for a Switch. They said the last one sold five minutes ago and as he checked for stock. I was like uh... OK. Then I noted a box 4 feet to my left. It was a Switch on a shelf just off of the register area on display. I was like how about this one? I'll take it. They noted it was reading zero stock and it must have been an error. And that's how I got my Switch lol.
I got one, though I'm building a Retropie with those nice 8Bitdo controllers anyway so I'm not sure why I I need it.
It would be cool if they overclocked the FX chip in the emulator and hacked the ROM to allow for a solid 30 FPS in Starfox. You can overclock it in the real hardware or in some emulators but the whole game runs faster.

When Amazon, Target, and Walmart open preorders again we'll be on top of it.

Man, who's going to sit on discord 24/7. Just subscribe to Wario.
I'm I have Discord notifs on so why not both?
Wouldn't have gotten mine if my phone didn't blow up w/ like 5 @everyone notifications.
My thought as well.

Why would every retailer synchronize at the exact same time at this hour.

You were right! Email received!
Nintendo probably told them that they can put up preorders after a certain date.
It's up to the individual retailers to decide when they want to put them up.
And with Amazon they may not even do it at all. With amiibo they typically just wait till the day of release.

The Nowinstock google group alerted me within seconds of Nintendeal. I highly recommend setting up alerts forwarded to your phone

And at this hour, which essentially screws over their entire East coast market. Seems a little weird.
But then again, it would be one hell of a blunder to repeat the exact same mistake Wal-Mart already made.

I'd say if nothing else, mod the SNES Classic to be the worlds best RetroPie Case!!
I think the presumption is Nintendo was making retailers wait to a certain day to start pre-orders, (especially considering the Wal-Mart fiasco was exactly a month ago) and that the rest would go up as the clock rolled over to midnight on the west coast where other retailers (namely, Amazon) are headquartered.
Maybe preorders will go live on 9/21?
I mean, Walmart on 7/21 and Best Buy on the 22nd.WhiteRabbitEXE

These (pre-orders for limited Nintendo products) are never coordinated. Expect the remaining retailers to all go up at different times from each other (with Amazon possibly not going up until the day of).
We know that pre-orders are officially supposed to go live at the end of the month, and this seems close enough to qualify, so I see no reason to doubt the legitimacy.
What's with the random Politics channel with #MAGA nonsense and transphobic names?

It's not weird at all in that it's totally par for the course with Nintendo. Several amiibo have gone up at worse times, and the NES Classic went up at Target at something like 3-4am Pacific.

The only surprise in this entire thread is that people think a confirmation email means shit, lmao.
I was stoked finally to receive mine but, judging by my past experiences, it is more likely than not that a bunch will be cancelled.

No idea. Joined after someone posted the channel in the first thread way back.

Just when I thought I had a few days off after getting my X1X preorder in, Best Buy drops this. Damn it.

That was me a month ago in Zurich when the Walmart 'preorders' opened.

Amazon preorders have not gone up right?
Congrats to those of you that secured your preorder... I'm usually up at 1AM EST when I work a normal 8 to 4 but I was sleeping cause I'm pulling 4am to 4pm's this week so I'm SOL. Hopefully other retailers put theirs up during normal hours today so the rest of us can sneak one in.

Only Best Buy so far. I'd say preorders will be opening up everywhere this whole week.

Is it truly out of stock? I still see it up for pre-order on the website.
Oh, nvm, now it's greyed out for me.
