Seriously, I don't even understand how Nintendo is still in business given the way they operate. Ridiculous.

Didn't Nintendo say they were going to assure more supply was on-hand so they didn't have a debacle like the NES Classic release?
Watch them shoot themselves in the foot once again come November when they say they are discontinuing it...right before Christmas. :fp:

I was able to get the NES Classic. Never was able to find a second, legit, Nintendo brand controller for it. Got a knockoff on Amazon and it's a total POS.
I rarely even play the damn thing.

Get the 8bitdo controller for it with the nes classic adapter

I wonder if this will be the same for Shoppers Drug Mart stores across the country with the "Not Available In Stores - Delivery Only" jam.

I only wanted one to flip. Can't even do that.

If you want to play classic games, Raspberry Pi is the way to go.

I agree. Raspberry Pi is better in nearly every way.... as well as being a 1-stop for all games on all systems...

But I am a sucker for the collectibility and novelty of these fuckers

Walmart!
GO!!
Just got one!

mca47 · August 2017

Seriously...Nowinstock.net is the best thing ever!
From the second I got my text, I ran to my computer and had an order placed in less than 3 minutes!

mca47 · August 2017

I didn't think about it, but I should have ordered as many as I could! hahahaha Damn!

Yeah, isnt it? A step further, i have a walmart account with shipment and payment info preloaded into the app . From the time i got the text to confirmation ... it was about 30 seconds.

Nowinstock is great. The secret is out a bit... but a few additional measures and persistence can tip the scales

It seems like Walmart has been cancelling a number of pre-orders from that wave. Mine remains intact though. We'll see. Either way, Im pretty confident I can land one

I haven't heard that my order is being cancelled. So far so good. I guess if it is, i'll reactive those notifications on Nowinstock.

word seems to be that orders with multiples seem to be the ones getting cancelled. So far, so good

Nintendo is bringing the NES Classic back next summer because they realized the were a bunch of fucking idiots for stopping production in the first place

That's good! Hope I can get a legit second controller when they re-release that!

This dude 3D printed his own Mini NES for the Raspberry Pi... with working cartridge slot, carts, and a controller to-scale. This is one of the absolute best Raspberry Pi case builds I've seen.

The carts aren't necessary to play the games but it's a really cool addition and gives an unrivaled level of authenticity. Really neat that he set them up with NFC tags that simply call to the rom file for the intended game.

They also said they would continue production of the SNES Classic into next year. I can only imagine a group of angry investors must have surrounded the Nintendo HQ with torches and pitchforks after watching the SNES rollout dumpster fire disaster.
