If we can extrapolate from what we have heard about French numbers:

In France, it's said that for the release day of the snes classic, there will be double the number of units that was available in France during the ENTIRE production run of the nes classic.

Online pre-orders might be a crapshoot but if you go and wait maybe a hour or more at a store of your choice you should get one opening day.

This is promising, thanks!

One of the few benefits to not being in the area for me personally is I never have to hear that loving Fly, Eagles, Fly song

I only have to listen to Houston Texans fans justify liking an absolute trash team that everyone throws parties for if they just happen to maybe have a slight chance to barely stumble into the playoffs because their standards are so low they're next to dinosaur bones lmbo

Is there any way to add the SNES Classic page from Walmart to a notification list? It doesn't look like that's an option anymore from what I can tell.

Go to nowinstock.net

They will send you a text the moment it's available

Don't forget that nowinstock does not tell you about pre-orders automatically. You have to go in and set that!

I got this on Prime day, it works pretty well. Even though it says it takes a 1080p input, I have to set things to 720p for it to work.

Well Gamestop held onto them so they could promote Think Geek with the overpriced bundles. Amazon was using it to promote the Treasure Truck in new cities.

As for Toys R Us and their random shipment back on July 1st, who knows. They just quietly put them on the shelves in stores without telling anyone. Makes me think there were some late shipments

It comes with no controllers as you'll fail to get a functioning preorder anywhere.

The allotment ratio was something hilarious small too, like one standalone controller and 20 NES Mini's per store.

To be fair, you can just plug in your Wii U Classic Controller and it's fine. Also, the home button replicates the reset button on the console, so no needing to get up and push the button to switch games.

Resellers are scalping them around $40 though, so 4x what they sold for

This. A substantial number of scalpers are going to siphon off as many as possible and effectively grab all available pre-order supply. It pretty much doesn't matter how many Nintendo makes, they hosed up the NES Classic supply (which in Europe actually lasted a few days at the pre-order stage, whereas the SNES one lasted, what, an hour?) and that's going to break too many brains. All producing 10 times as many or whatever is going to do is give ten times the supply to scalpers who will still be able to similarly price as their NES Classic scalping.

If you're nervous about scalpers, go to your local store in person on preorder day. I know the world is a hell and everyone's out to make money, but you're not going to get Homer Simpsoned by a guy in front of you in line ordering 50.

Some say that his politics are terrifying, and that he once punched a horse to the ground...


Just be persistent and who knows, you might actually get a preorder. Failing that, hopefully waiting in line for a few hours (no loving way am I camping for this) might be better this time if stores have much more stock available day 1. After that it might be a poo poo show.
