cimerians Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Looks like they have one left. It says out of stock for me right now...for the past hour or so. When I got it, I think there were 11 units left then sold out after another 5 minutes or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andromeda Stardust Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Thanks for the link, but I've never heard of that store before ... are you certain you'll get it earlier from them vs anyone else who wants to lock in an early order? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Nintendo-NES-Classic-Mini-with-30-Games-PRE-ORDER-READ-FULL-DESCRIPTION-/322207052117?hash=item4b05097155:g:0hMAAOSwZVlXmMvT Square trade? More like circular rip-off! TRU is staggering their preorders at random times which is super annoying. Amazon and Best Buy have placeholders but have not opened preorders yet. No word from Gamestop, Target, and Walmart. It's currently too early in the game to tell whether these will be fully stocked or unobtainium on release day. But anybody buying someone else's preorder for $150 is a fool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaWarrior Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 I'm calling GameStop most every 2 days to see I really don't want to miss this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GameGirl420 Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Definitely getting one soon. So you can play carts on that as well or just the preinstalled games??? I already have those games already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Great Hierophant Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 (edited) Near where I live, there is a large outdoor shopping plaza with a Gamestop, a Wal-Mart and a Best Buy. All three would carry the NES Mini. I might find it amusing to see if there are lines outside Gamestop and Best Buy on November 11 before those stores open to try and get one. The Wal-Mart is a 24-hour store, so it is unlikely to have lines. Edited July 28, 2016 by Great Hierophant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flojomojo Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Do you really think there will be **lines** to get a retro-style plug n play toy? I'm thinking it will be widely available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking it will be widely available. doubtful it will be hard to get, also thinking the youtubers are over reacting a bit about the future implications this will have on Nintendo, its not the first time they ever released some fun goofy shit to fund company pizza month or whatever 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfy62 Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 if I don't get it for the retail price of $59.99 or less, I will not buy it. Well, ok I may up the ante to $60.00! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godslabrat Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 I have a working NES, a Super Retro Trio, and a Wii-U, and most of these games on the original cartridge. ...Yet I cannot explain my completely irrational urge to own this thing. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus if it does not sell too good it will be in clearance bins for 50% off in no time. And in a few years it will be on clearance on ebay for parts or somebody's forgotten toy. Or my son enjoyed it alot but god board real fast and now... Edited July 28, 2016 by 0078265317 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No plug-n-play has ever been released by Nintendo. Well except the bootlegs they used to peddle at shopping malls some ten years ago... You underestimate the brand. If people will stand in line for $13 Amiibo figures, they will stand in line for a $60 plug-n-play. I also hope Nintendo make plenty of extra controllers... Plus if it does not sell too good it will be in clearance bins for 50% off in no time. And in a few years it will be on clearance on ebay for parts or somebody's forgotten toy.

Bill Loguidice Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Do you really think there will be **lines** to get a retro-style plug n play toy? I'm thinking it will be widely available. It's difficult to estimate demand for this. I'm thinking it will sell several million without breaking a sweat. It has a lot of things going for it, including the first product of its kind from Nintendo centered around their most iconic system. Being the first like it is, the value is obviously higher than if they put this out every year. I'm thinking that the relative pre-order frenzy and how the press has gobbled this up (and the viral reactions) mean that, to my thinking at least, this will be a difficult get throughout the holiday season. This will also surely make those banal holiday shopping list recommendations everywhere as well. I suspect Nintendo will sell as many as they're able to produce. I don't think it will be particularly easy to get until a month or two after Christmas, and then who knows how much motivation Nintendo will have to continue heavy production with the imminent release of the NX. Naturally, there's a saturation point for something like this, but at $60, that might be 5 - 10 million units worldwide, easily making it the best selling TV game device ever. It will be interesting to see how it all shakes out. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godslabrat Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 I wonder, if this is a breakthrough hit, if it'll cause any kind of paradigm shift in the "Lets sell a $400 console every two years" mentality that Sony and Microsoft have. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Success is relative and the products and markets are not necessarily comparable or have much overlap. In my opinion, this will have zero significant impact on strategy for Sony or Microsoft. In fact, in the interest of the success of the NX, it will likely have little impact on future strategy from Nintendo. The key these days is to build a sustainable eco-system with regular consumer investment, not to build one-off products targeting casual consumers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keatah Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Nevermind its sold out already ed- my cart emptied when I tried to buy it. I'm totally happy with waiting till it becomes available in the store. And I will completely avoid paying scalper prices. It's cool. It's nice. It's not a MUST HAVE. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's nice. It's not a MUST HAVE. Same here. Unless its sold out and I have to wait 3 months. Like WII was sold out everywhere (original 2006 model). Took me one and a half year to find one at target because everybody wanted one and supply was limited. Actually every nintendo console was popular. I remember the gameboy color was impossible to find. I ended driving up to toysrus all the way in gurnee IL 30 minutes from me. Nothing close by. At least in 1998.

cimerians Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 I was just trying to avoid the hassle of trying to buy it later. Just seems its going to be a hassle, all the signs are pointing to it. Hopefully it won't be, as Flomo said, hope they manufacture a couple trillion units and those Ebay trolls can suck on eggs. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+GoldLeader Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 I wonder if there will be a flyer inside the box advertising the NX, kind of like how the original NES had flyers trying to get you to subscribe to Nintendo Power? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
