While this would suck, we just got PrimeNow in my zip code and I'm sitting on a $10 promo so I wouldn't complain.

We just talked about how it's well known that the notification system by amazon is useless
You don't have to guess, it's been around for years. And yes, it sucks.

I sign up for them just in case they actually work. But they never do.
Yeah, don't use it. Follow wario on twitter and set up text notifications or use https://www.nowinstock.net/videogaming/consoles/nintendosnesclassicedition/

I have issues with how god awful nintendo handles these, but they put care into them. Sega doesnt give a shit about quality and licenses their name and games out to actual trash.

SO CLOSE
As it has been said, SoM was available (if you're talking about Seiken 3, it's not in US either).
And while some of the best games were indeed not available, I still think the EU offer is stellar (and above Genesis/Megadrive).
It's not as if Megadrive in EU hasn't several of its best titles unavailable too.
(plus without Internet imports were expensive, but you could enter basically any VG shop and buy them, and adaptors or mod your console... I mean, I even bought US etroid just because I didn't want to wait a couple months for the EU version after reading the previews... and I have as many US/Jp games as EU, I believe)

So close to what? Not seeing a pre-order go live in your lifetime?
The stakes are much higher too.
ps: Can't wait for FA.
Amazon have turned to the dark side.

I haven't used it in years. The few times I did, the notifications came ridiculously late.

it's fine. It's obviously just not designed to notify immediately for items that sell out in minutes.

Same. I don't think it has ever worked for me.
It's how I got my NES Classic. I would not have been able to get one otherwise. Still sucks for consumers in general, though.
Either way if they put some on PrimeNow it won't be til release date or later, since same-day is the point of the thing.
Kinda. At the same time, they're taking a product with shitty distribution that they likely don't make much on and using it to promote their own services. From a business perspective, it's really the only way they benefit from it. It's the same as Gamestop bundling their NES Classics with a book and upping the price by $50. Companies will make the best of a bad situation.
(Sucks for all of us tho)

As every hour passes I slowly lose my will to check. Im not getting this product, I can feel it.
Honestly its an amazing package but DKC should be swapped out for DKC2, and Dream Course for something like Chrono Trigger.

FA is a ton of fun, especially the DJ saga of a few years ago

I'd argue that the Genesis Collection on PC is better than any of Nintendo's emulation projects by miles. I like the whole "90s kid's room" environment, and the display options are solid.
That beats my experience. They never even sent me an email.

I really would have loved to see Tetris Attack. And Aladdin I guess would be cool. Maybe NBA Jam. But overall, they really nailed it.
They couldn't do worse than the one AtGames puts out now.
I'm with you, not just on the NES classic but it doesn't work for any hot items. I usually get the notice it's in stock long after what I want stocked out. They need to work on that shit.

Take a pic and tweet it to NoA.
Same thing happened to me at Gamestop with the Switch. Their site was like, Yo, signup so you get notified when Switch preorders are up. Signed up, preordered from Best Buy, and never saw an email notification from Gamestop.

Yo, that collection is the best. Reminds me that I still need to finish my run of Phantasy Star 2...

Yep, both vanilla and 'Ultimate' versions.
One thing that frustrates me about NoA is the way they handle their misteps. Rather than apologizing or saying they will do better next time, they double down and spin the situation into a scenario to self backpat; then continue on with the same nonsensical behavior.
I remember a couple of years back when fans were dissapointed in an E3 direct, the late Iwata apologized to fans and said they would do better next time; Reggie jumps in and tries to nullify the apology. Smh.

Yeah, guys, it's totally fine. You're not supposed to take this literally:
It's obviously supposed to mean:
It was incredibly buggy though, with half-finished characters and stages littered throughout.

I bet it was perfection
You'll get hundreds of suggestions...
There's not even a single shmup... at a time where there were plently of iconic ones.
As far as RPG go, Tales of and Quintet trio (Soulblazer (blader), Illusion of Time (Gaia) and Terranigma), and Ogre are sorely missing.
I would have expected Pilotwings, I'm surprised about this one. Yoshi Cookie/Panel de pon too.
Beside those, personally, Uniracer, Tiny toons, Sim city, Harvest Moon, Demon's crest, bust a move, Actraiser...
But you can't do much with 21...

I disagree. I'd prefer Dream Course remain and some other RPG get swapped out. I think the list of games is already too RPG-centric. More variety is preferred.
