TPA5 Posted July 12, 2017 Author Share Posted July 12, 2017 Its probably going to be like last time with nes classic no USA preorder. http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2017/07/you_still_cant_pre-order_the_super_nes_classic_in_the_us_and_this_could_be_why Didn't the NES Classic get an Amazon pre-order, but only for Prime members?

0078265317 Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Didn't the NES Classic get an Amazon pre-order, but only for Prime members? I meant directly from Nintendo. Others might like toysrus last time. But who knows, Too early to tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg2600 Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Eventually Amazon was only selling via Prime, 1 per account. My buddy got one, but by the time I did the free trial sign up, they were gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0078265317 Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Well at least the companion book is available for preorder. https://www.amazon.com/dp/0744018706/?tag=exp098-20 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Ok that's bookmarked. I think $45 is asking a bit much. I paid $25 at retail (toys r us) for a hardcover NES Playing with Power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPA5 Posted July 19, 2017 Author Share Posted July 19, 2017 That book is pretty neat, maybe I'll pick it up some time. I agree with Tanooki though, $45 is a little bit much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0078265317 Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Well that is hard cover. Soft cover is only 20 bucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flojomojo Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 I think it should be a downloadable PDF, for free! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Maybe so but $20 -> $45 for just some pressed paper/cardboard 'hardback' backing to the same book is bs. It's a straight up fan tax stunt. I could see +$10 but not +$25. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0078265317 Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 I think it should be a downloadable PDF, for free! The nes version should of been also. Actually all books should be pdf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flojomojo Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 They did some nice Nintendo Power guide books to most of these games. It seems a shame to bury them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyperboy Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 I just pre-ordered on Wal-Marts website after receiving an in-store alert email. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Super-Nintendo-Entertainment-System-Classic-Edition/55791858 Sent from my Phrenologists waiting room.

NE146 Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 (edited) I got the Walmart email in the afternoon at like 1pm while visiting the War In The Pacific - National Park while using an temporary Iphone 4s burner phone from my brother. I sat there in the middle of the place ordering using slow as heck 3G, along with the slow as heck Iphone.. it took like 15 minutes but managed to get an order out. The wife was just asking what the heck I was doing. Edited July 22, 2017 by NE146 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 Someone notified about the pre-order page while I was streaming last night and I was able to snag one. Looking forward to trying Star Fox 2! Here's to hoping more become available to pre-order. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanooki Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 It's $26 currently. Preorder price guarantee? I see that now, when I wrote it the hardcover was $44.99 -- just preordered it. Even if the system is a bitch to get, at the very worst, it's a fun read and solid guide for all those titles. I have them basically anyway -- this is all about Starfox 2 for me primarily, HDMI+portability second to that. And on that -- Walmart I think if they had it that long, it was another scalper bot slam night for sure. I got a text about it as it went up, couldn't for a half hour buy the damn thing as it was in my cart, then clicking pre-order would pop up and black and white box with an error about it. It was like some Amazon NES CE flashback all over again. I'd rather try and forget that crap but everyone is talking it up now. Needless to say I'm not amused. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atariboy Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 (edited) Anyone been canceled yet? Sounds like it may be happening for at least some people that preordered it at Wal-Mart. Edited July 22, 2017 by Atariboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andromeda Stardust Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 Anyone been canceled yet? Sounds like it may be happening for at least some people that preordered it at Wal-Mart. Are they cancelling multiple orders or simply everyone who exceeded the inventory before the product went OOS? I hope they cancel those asshats buying ten of them. And cancel the entire order, not just 9/10. Teach them a lesson about being greedy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cybercylon Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 Maybe Walmart pulled the trigger? Did it pass the FCC rules yet? (I know some regulation thing was holding it up in the US, but I am not scrolling back). Once they are gone, I wonder what the scalping prices will be for this?
