Reggie, if this doesn't work out, are you going to give me yours?
Hey - did we ever get to the bottom of this phrasing on the Amazon orders:
"Nintendo Digital Downloads/Game Trust Entertainment System: Super NES Classic Edition
Sold by: Amazon.com LLC "
Just canceled my order because that wording felt sketch to me anyway, and now they've announced unlimited stock it's a big relief.

Why.....why would you do that
I already know how launch day is going to go. It's going to sell out and people will be screaming that Nintendo lied. People need to realize that launch day isn't going to be telling of anything good or bad. Launch day is going to sell out and people need to get those expectations in check. What's going to be telling if Nintendo lied or not is how frequently restocks are and how many are delivered in those restocks and we'll probably only understand that about a month after it launches, not on launch day.
Wise man. Thank you Reggie for clearing things up!Hey - did we ever get to the bottom of this phrasing on the Amazon orders:

I'm kidding!
But I was serious about the wording question - what was the scoop? Just a sloppy entry by Amazon logistics?

Naked Snake said:Wait: Could this mean that Nintendo has recently re-decided to dramatically increased production based on the response to the initial wave of pre-orders? If so then the product will most likely be very hard to get at launch and for a while after, but when the newly produced extra units go through the supply chain then it'll flood the market? What if this increased production only started after the preorders and because of how they went (selling in seconds/minutes or crashing sites for many hours). And they can't put those new units up for pre-order yet since they don't know when exactly they will be hitting shelves (they will be coming in weekly batches for 3 months anyway).
I would really like to read the original interview to see his exact words in full context so I can maybe get a better understanding of his message. I know subscribers to FT can share an article with a number of people, so if someone can share it with me I'd appreciate it.
It is already a lie since even at most normal retailers people in Europe for example mostly pay more than 80$ because Nintendo isn't giving out a recommended retail price. Reggie knows this.
Is this the second coming of.......

Twist: they overproduce the SNES mini and they sit on shelves collecting dust like Animal Crossing Amiibo.
Nintendo: Hey, here's the SNES Classic.
Consumers: Argh, supply has run out already and I didn't get one. Nintendo, you're awful.
Nintendo: Everybody, there's supply.
Consumers: Argh, Nintendo you're awful.
Careful living your life for the general population's approval, kids.

Hah, right. Pull the other one Reggie, it plays Mozart.
I wanted an NES Classic - could not find one.
I was interested in the Switch - could not find one.
NOT interested in this because I won't find one here in the Windy City at retail.
Sorry Nintendo, burned me one too many times. I REALLY wanted an NES Classic and since you guys could not be bothered to get up off the money pile and make more of those, I cannot be bothered with a company that cannot manage expectations of supply for anything else you might want to sell. Nintendo had its shot with me and blew it.
Die in a burning dumpster full of screaming scalpers Reggie.
Lmao did she end up building a club house with those unsold systems ?

One of the safety nets of being a scalper is if it doesn't sell, you can return it to the store. I'm sure she returned them.
What's the backstory on this?? Just wow... the woman's smile...
She probably took them back to the store.
That's the real scam there, if it appears like scalpers can't shift units, they have a number of days where they're free to bring the product back to the store.
There's basically no risk to them at all.
Bullshit
LOLThat's the first thing that came to mind.
This time they'll have an over-production of units and the retailers will get pissed for having all this stock they can't sell. Either way this is going to be another huge mess.

However, Fils-Aime said issues with SNES Classic pre-orders were "outside our control" at retailers.
LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
They're selling everything you've allowed them to!!!
Uh, he's right though. Things like allowing unlimited quantity per order, or allowing 20 individual orders is out of Nintendo's control. That's on the retailer. Also it's on the retailer to counter bots and scripts, not Nintendo.
