Oh crap. Another line to stand in . . .

More like waiting 325692 years just to try to buy one in general.

sold out on amazon uk in hours ... Shocker

Star Fox 2, anyone?

Epic

Unfortunately pre-orders are sold out everywhere - keeping an eye out to see if they will release more pre-order.

I know they have 20 odd games built in but is there going to be a function that new games can be added or downloaded onto the console?

 

[ShoalFox]

Likely not.

This is a convenience product.... if it's not convenient to buy... then it loses its value.

Nintendo is hoping the nes classic lightning will strike again. I think the nes classic experience will greatly hurt this product. These is no reason Nintendo can't stock these things. The "rarity" schtick has worn through to people I think

Nintendo has said the preorders were... premature. The one I had was cancelled. They officially said the preorders will start later this month.

Yeah stores like Walmart and such jumped the gun and had to go back and cancel pre-orders.

Online preorders are all sold out, if you want one go to your local Gamestop right now to get a preorder, mine had several left.\

Or pay inflated prices from people such as myself.

 

[Jimmy Thick]

Well this release went pretty good. From what I'm gathering from many gaming sites is there was a pretty good allocation in each area with one retailer getting a larger than normal shipment.

In my area Walmart got 20, Best Buy got 200. If you were up in the morning you should have got one.

 

[Giants14]

Got a pre-order the day before release and it arrived on Monday. Haven't had a chance to hook it up but looking forward to it

 

[Underdog]

Mine was delivered a few days ago but was on-call for work, so it's still unopened.

 

[ShoalFox]

I'm holding off getting one just in case Nintendo announces they're putting Star Fox 2 on Switch virtual console.

Friday I found one at Target and got it for my husband for Christmas. I called my sister, and she was able to go to a Target near her and get one for her husband. Then, my mom was able to get one for my nephew. That was definitely a matter of right place at the right time.
