Amazed it's still up after this long, must be a huge stockpile for them.

 

[reKon]

should I buy this?

 

[Crumbtiny]

I was wondering the same thing. I just put in a second because my piece of shit brother isn't answering his phone. If mine gets cancelled cause I'm looking out for his ass, I'm gonna be pissed.

i did the exact same thing. be the perfect Christmas present for my brother and my nieces.

 

[Miyahon]

Ordered one

Does anyone know if the shipping date is correct as mine said the earliest is Oct 5th?

 

[Ridley327]

I did put an order in for one for in-store pickup. Since I've never had the pleasure, can anyone attest to how well that works with them? I can't imagine it's particularly much different from how Best Buy does it.

 

[opticalmace]

Got one. Yasssssss.

edit: couldn't care less about the NES classic but damn do I want this one.

 

[Dark_3nergy]

Mine says pick up oct 5th

Mine says "Arrives by: Oct. 5" but I put in for shipping so that could mean anything I guess.

 

[Cloud7]

Got it baybeeeee

 

[KenzinFive]

Based Wario64 coming in with the tweet.

It was worth dealing with the constant notifications on my phone for over a month.

I can't believe that I not only got one, but that I was able to tell my friend and he was able to get one as well. It feels too good to be true...

 

[Goofy]

No release day delivery? Really Walmart?

 

[Mass Appeal]

Yes! Got one.

 

[andrerobot]

Got 2.

Hype!

 

[Shizza]

Saw the notification while I was at the gym. Yeah I just pre-ordered it on the elliptical machine. What now!?

 

[rikichi]

Too many people getting them now. I'm worried.

 

[//ARCANUM]

Now I hope everyone realizes that having one preorder on a Nintendo item doesn't mean you're 100% getting it. Gotta get in a preorder at at least 2 different retailers. Sad but necessary a lot of the time with Nintendo.

 

[btrboyev]

Bought

 

[Sorta Maximus]

I took two and I'll call Dr. Mario in the morning.

I'm stoked as the Wii U's SNES emulation is not the best possible and the the 3DS XL's screen is small.

 

[VeryGooster]

Waiting till October 5 is a price I'm willing to pay if it guarantees I'll actually get this thing from this preorder

 

[Blizzard]

My wife and I were in the middle of fooling around when the alert on my phone popped up.

I owe her.

"Babe, why are you checking the phone? WHO IS SHE?"

"......it's NOA, you gotta understand."

 

[KodaRuss]

Well, I got one. Got lucky checking Gaf at the right time. Thanks OP

 

[Zee-Row]

I got one! You can't fuck with me scalpers!

Never had that problem. Got 2 NES classics and 2 switches. Both from the same vendors.

 

[Conkerkid11]

Got one, but why am I unable to pickup at store on launch day? Soonest I can get it is the 4th of October?

 

[Nightmare452]

Same thing really. Get "item is ready for pickup" notice, go pick it up. Its even easier than BB IMO.

 

[cwistofu]

I owe her.

Sell it to her for double.

 

[lightning2k3]

nice, limit 2 per person.

 

[BronsonLee]

I got one! You can't fuck with me scalpers!

Sure I can

Don't you wanna get one for your family? You don't wanna share it!

You lucky sonofa....

 

[SnakeEyez]

Lmao that's hilarious. You had an alert for when this thing went up on preorder? That's smart.

Walmart is not Best Buy.

 

[Steeped in a Sea of Games]

Hot damn. Finally in the right place at the right time.

 

[Ridley327]

That's what I figured. In-store pickup has been a godsend for me in the wake of Amazon shortchanging their packing guidelines.

 

[IntelliHeath]

"Babe, why are you checking the phone? WHO IS SHE?"

"......it's NOA, you gotta understand."

Haha, it reminded me of one gaffer here who checked the phone when his friend(s) paged him about the announcement that Sonic made in Smash Bros middle of their playful time.

 

[Fou-Lu]

Still no Canadian preorders?

 

[rSpooky]

Yes. Had issues with login as it has been a while since I used wm. But still got one. Nice. And my bro got a euro version preordered for me.

 

[Zee-Row]

Wario64 , I want to just french kiss you as manly as possible! Thank you man! I never wouldn't of got one if it wasn't for him.

 

[inherendo]

should I buy this?

Don't be bitching if you complain about stock later.

 

[zulux21]

got in for two different orders.

still not sure if I want one but there are a couple games I want to play on it.

ideally I will get it... play the games I want and then sell it for the price i want.

snagged one for my friend in case he didn't get in though if best buy or amazon go up I will likely cancel one of these and put my backup on those instead.

don't know if amazon will actually do preorders given how the amiibo stuff has gone.

 

[Hero_of_the_Day]

Walmart is not Best Buy.

They still have the Metroid amiibo up even though every place else sold out instantly weeks ago. I hope they come through there, too.

 

[hitme]

Will wait for Amazon.

I don't want to be charged now.

 

[G0523]

Got 2! Thanks OP!

Spoiler

And Wario64!

 

[KPunk]

beat me to the post, gotta love the perfect timing to check my email!

 

[chronos4590]

Thanks! Got 1. They charge immediately ?

 

[Euphony]

Can't believe it finally went up for preorder. Managed to get 1 preordered but I might switch it to Amazon later

 

[Thabass]

Some how got one. They either have a ton, or the site is just slow to hit the uptake to tell us that it's sold out.

 

[DJChuy]

Holy shit! Just preordered. Hopefully it doesn't get cancelled.

 

[RowdyReverb]

Amazed it's still up after this long, must be a huge stockpile for them.

I was thinking the same thing. Watch these actually be on store shelves come holiday season. Nintendo is going to make a killing on these

 

[KneehighPark]

Thanks! Got 1. They charge immediately ?

Probably just an authorization charge/hold. Should go away in a few days.

 

[Schnozberry]

My wife and I were in the middle of fooling around when the alert on my phone popped up.

You better have some housework done before she wakes up tomorrow.

 

[Pons]
