0078265317 Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Ya not loading now for me either. But in those 2 minutes it said buy now. Why have buy now if its out of stock. Maybe I will call them and see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariLeaf Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Man everyone calm down. There's going to be a lot as the months go on. That's what I'm hoping. Perhaps in the new year. I'm in no hurry and if I never get one I'll live but I am more interested in this than any of the flashbacks, believe it or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+MrBlackCat Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 I got one in my basked on Amazon, during the frenzy, but the page blanked when I clicked "No thanks" for Amazon prime... see, if I had been an Amazon Prime member, I might have been one of the Chosen Few. Oh well... Also, people keep saying there will be plenty... and while I agree that is a reasonable assumption, it is still, just an assumption... unless you have some kind of inside information relative to production.

MrBlackCat That sucks. Force you to have amazon prime. You ave to be logged in also. I got one in the frenzy also. But when I clicked buy now it said this seller is out of stock. So much for that. Now the page doesn't load. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keatah Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Maybe now that the current state of affairs has people jerking back and forth and all excited, attention will turn to other mini consoles like the Atari and Genesis flashbacks or something. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flojomojo Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Here's a web tracker that has been useful for items like this in the past. It crawls the retailer sites and updates when stuff comes into stock. https://www.nowinstock.net/videogaming/consoles/nesclassicmini/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0078265317 Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 I also got the raphnet adapter from wiimote to gamecube. I can then use regular nes controllers on this thing when I get one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andromeda Stardust Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 After the nightmare I went through getting a Wii back in 05 I said never again. I imagine procuring a Wii in 2005 would have been difficult indeed. It was released in '06. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoshiChiri Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 Whelp- not getting this for a Christmas present after all. Everywhere sold out while I was at work, and I got caught in the 'add to cart-cart is empty' glitch on Amazon. I'm not running all over creation for this stupid thing. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akator Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 ^ Agreed with both above. If I stumble on one while shopping for other stuff, fine. But I already wasted too much time on this crap today. It isn't like this is the only way to play NES in our house 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andromeda Stardust Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 The bottom line is "early bird catches the worm." I did not see the crowd at Gamestop, but I did see several women in the crowd at Best Buy and even a little girl. Not everyone had the look of a reseller, but one guy who got a dented box was clearly disappointed. It seems that getting to the store 4 hours before its opening was probably the way to go if you wanted a console in your hands today. This. I showed up at 6:35am at Best Buy (open at 9) and was first in line. Best Buy had 25 units, Gamestop (open at 10) had 12, and Target (open at 8 ) only had 2 (all stores within walking distance on adjacent strip malls. I think people who had planned on hitting Target -> Best Buy -> Gamestop in that order were butthurt when they found out that Target only had 2 in stock and people immediately filed into the Best Buy line. Best Buy handed out flyers, and I was number one with an hour to kill before 9am. After 11am, any unredeemed vouchers would be put out on public display. They said accessories were still first come first served so be there at 9 if we wanted any. I had breakfast and came back for the store opening and there was a crowd of people outside despite all 25 flyers had been issued. Those of us who had flyers were allowed to file in ahead of the crowd. I'm not really sure what the people in the back expected to get. Maybe extension cables for their Wiimotes? Best Buy had quite a few of those, but single digits worth of spare NES controllers and only four Edge joysticks. I walked out with an NES Mini (which will be going to my uncle for Christmas), a spare controller (so my aunt can join in), and an Edge joystick. I plan on getting a Mini but I can wait until after Christmas if need be, or possibly buy one used at GameXChange. I personally am in no rush. I say let the scalpers and soccer moms fight over the current stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a Nes on a chip system!

Keatah Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 (edited) That is madness. This is a Nes on a chip system! Nintendo always does this short supply nonsense but how can they justify a short supply of such a cheaply made product?? It's justified by the frenzy it creates. Though I'd hardly call this "NES chasing" a frenzy at this point in time. Anyways, I love watching this sort of thing. Endless entertainment!

Great Hierophant Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 So...how plentiful are the controllers? I think you would probably have just as much luck trying to buy two NES Classic Edition consoles as you would be buying one console and one of the Nintendo-branded standalone controllers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0078265317 Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 The amazon page is back up. Still out of stock but back up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulBlazer Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 I wasn't even going to try to get one today as I KNEW this was going to happen. Nintendo still hasn't learned their lesson. As a long shot, if ANYONE here manages to snag a extra one, I'll pay you gladly to have it shipped to me plus a good tip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
