Cancelled here
I'm sorry...but there isn't anything more to it than that. Sometimes you need to be in the right place at the right time. This will not be the first or last time this happens to you. You need to accept that...Nintendo don't have an obligation to ensure you can purchase their LE item. You should be blaming your retailers for not making it clear when pre-orders would go live. They are the ones selling it. Nintendo merely supply it.
Mine was canceled as well. I'm pretty bummed about that. Dunno if I should write an email to Best Buy, Nintendo, or both.
For people who were cancelled, what does it say on your BB Order Status page? Does the MM XL order say cancelled, or is it just gone?
It's their mistake though.Cancelled as well. But shockingly forward-thinking of Best Buy to offer a $50 credit. I would've expected them to offer nothing in return.
Mine says Order Cancelled.

Yep, cancelled. I only ordered 1.
I'm BB Elite+ and have GCU. Not that it matters, just saw that mentioned in here.
Does anyone know if they are still taking WIS preorders at Gamestop? I should still be covered but I want an extra if its gonna be this crazy.
Na, not everyone.So everyone who preordered got their's canceled then? If true then BB got some explaining to do.

How about we let Nintendo know we are not happy with the way they've been handling supply of certain items and LEs as of late? Maybe they can work something out with retailers and in the end everyone wins? Have you even thought about that possibility? Of course not, you are just defending Nintendo for something that is most likely their fault to some degree, communication with retailers is also part of their job. Sure, retailers are to blame too but who's to say Nintendo isn't to blame?
California gcu gaffer here still fine on my preorder. I keep walking to the back to double check while at work lol
How about you let Best Buy know you are unhappy with the way they clearly let pre-orders run for far too long, resulting in them taking more that they could supply?? Have you thought about that? Best Buy are a large company, do you really, honestly believe they didn't know how much stock they were going to receive?
You would rather give the retailer the benefit of the doubt, instead of the supplier. Seriously? Best Buy 100% knew how many they were getting, they just fucked it up big time. I'm pretty sure this isn't the first time something like this has happened??
Retailers are the only ones to blame. You don't see this shit happening at Gamespot do you? Probably because they allowed pre-orders for their allocated stock? Makes sense doesn't it?
Are the cancellations seriously still rolling out? Mine is currently safe, but I don't know for how long at this rate...

Never pre order Best Buy,people. It seems not a month goes buy without someone making a new thread about BB fucking up a LE or pre order.
Na, not everyone.
Mine is still active for now.
After this I am probably never using Best Buy again for pre-orders. This is my first time pre-ordering from Best Buy.
Yeah, if you've got an order at both BB and GS, I'd hold on to the GS order. Best Buy is notorious for canceling/messing up orders on more limited stuff.
Best to be safe and wait a bit.
I mentioned earlier that BB is to blame too but you are acting as if Nintendo wasn't to blame at all, when in actuality, considering past products it's obvious they are at fault here too, plus, they are the ones supplying the product. It'd make more sense to let the actual supplier there are problems with the way the product is being handled so they can work it out with their distributors.
At least they are informing people, I've heard a ton of stories of people going the day of release and BB not having their order.
Told you.
Seriously though, that stinks. Nothing's worse than getting screwed after already thinking that you were set. Hopefully nothing happens to my GameStop order.
I suspect people are just showing up to report that they had theirs cancelled as they gradually notice this thread and get around to checking their emails. I hope its not that BB has been cancelling orders over the last 2 hours.
Now I am getting paranoid that they are going to start cancelling the skull kid bundle next.
Holy fu... I have that preordered with BB as well.
Fwiw, my orders are still there...
iirc they've made these offers everytime something like this happens.
just got the cancel
Just? Whats the timestamp?
I want to know if they are rolling out cancels periodically or if they did it in 1 big swift.
