So looks like The Source may not be doing online sales. Their website says available today in select stores. 20 per store.

I got my walmart.com one and its being shipped to friend in CT who'll then send it to me. I might try to get a second on Bestbuy.ca at noon today.

Walmart didn't screw me this time by telling me it can't ship to my location when my location is a freaking Canada Post pickup location they suggest.

10/10.

Woah, actually got one from Walmart! I was frantically filling out my info as a guest... but I’ll wait for the confirmation now.

Just got back from EB, I got one!

Showed up around 7:15 and I was number 19 in line. I was kinda worried cause the word was that they had "about 20" but I stuck around to try my luck. Eventually the employee showed up and they had close to 30 :)

Man, there were people who showed up basically right at 9 (store opening) and they managed to get one. I'm happy it worked out for all the people who lined up. A bunch of them were scalpers talking about hitting up other stores during the rest of the day :/

I would bang a hot farmer!
And it looks like they're now sold out. I don't want anyone crying they didn't get one because you were alerted before it went live so you should've been F5ing the whole time until it did go live.

After striking out online and at the Fernbank Rd Wal-Mart (as they gave out tickets 30 minutes before the store even opened), I just figured I wasn’t getting one. I headed into work early as I was already up and out, and stopped in at the Wal-Mart near my work to pick up some supplies for the gym. Someone approached me and said “Excuse me sir are you here for the game?”

I told him that I didn’t think I would get that lucky, and he said “actually you are” and handed me a ticket, #52 of 56.



So that was a good bit of luck I hadn’t expected, and now my kids and I can play this over the weekend. My son is a huge Nintendo fan and was really excited to see the old games with Mario, Yoshi, Kirby; I didn’t tell them that I got it, I’ll leave it for a surprise tonight.

If you are still hunting for one, hopefully you’ll get some good luck to!

This should be mandatory for anyone lining up for a product, amazing.

So has anyone received a confirmation email yet on their Walmart.ca orders? I haven't..

Hopefully it's not one of those cases where we get a 'backordered' response.
