I may get one on release day at Best Buy. So if I walk into Best Buy when it opens on release day, I'll be able to snag one without a preorder?

I didn't try, but I was one of the literally 10 people who got an NES from Amazon, so I'm guessing my luck ran out anyway

Wouldn't limit options like that. If you get the chance to preorder. Do it. Walmart is already sold out it seems. I wouldn't sleep on potential chance if you really want one and want to avoid paying a scalper.

I pre ordered through Wal Mart. It says release day is Sep 29 but I can't pick it up until Oct 5? Anyone know why that would be? :/

I managed to pre-order two off Wal-Mart. One for me and one for my brother. Delivery date is Oct 7. I heard horror stories about people's NES Classic preorders being canceled though, so I'm still nervous.

$80 plus the headache of trying to hunt one down in my city?

Hell no, not worth it. Don't even care for SF2.

I'd rather use the VC.
Why would I when emulation exists?

Yeah that's how I felt about the NES mini. NES emulation is so common and easy that I really don't get paying top dollar for a console that does that.

More like if you stand in line hours before the store opens you'll be able to get one at Best Buy. Seriously, don't chance it, if your plan is to stroll in after opening you might end up disappointed.
Life is what happens when you're busy making other plans.

When did it go up for pre-order? I set an Amazon notification to let me know when its available and didn't see any alerts unless it happened while I was sleeping?

I think around midnight, but I ran into the same situation myself

Oh, just found out it was Walmart....

Well, even though it was only once place this is a sign of things to come..

Especially if Walmart sold out in 40 minutes in the middle of the night when most people were not aware and the site STILL crashed.

Not in my country, and I assume probably not in most Europe that isn't UK or Germany.

I have two ordered on Walmart now. I'm try to get as many as I can, my family/friends are looking for six total.
Everyone on GameFAQ's should be nice to one another.
didn't bother, i'd like one, but its not worth the hassle, especially since I still have a real one and most of the games listed, and the few I don't, namely super metroid and earthbound, I have on multiple virtual consoles.
Just shut the hell up and talk about games, im so tired of the politics of gaming...

No. Because it does not actually come out until the 29th of September.
Other: No. I already have every SNES game that ever existed at my fingertips.

We'll be sure to let Nintendo know.

Only trolls brag about emulation in topics about these Classic Editions, or urge people to download everything.

The only reason anyone should want this is for resale really. I got my preorder in and will buy as many as they let me day 1 in store. Hopefully nintendo isnt pulling a fast one and all of a sudden have a ton of stock for this lol.
