[gafneo]

[Kyrios]

Whats going on at 3 pm?!!Tell me!!!

Tears and disappointment!

 

[MadClacker]

Just got off the blower with Miyamoto...

... I couldn't understand him. Sorry.

 

[Okami Haundo]

I absolutely loved how right at 3PM, the thread went dead for a good 30 seconds or so. I could just the collective finger-strain of F5Gaf. The effort was almost palpable.

 

[AllBusinessJr]

12 am PST. (I have absolutely no idea).

 

[ShadowKingpin]

And preorders went live!

"Banned"

 

[Kensation]

Can't believe no one realizes pre-orders don't go live till 4 EST.

 

[macdaddyjoshua]

I'm a girl, but yeah. How old must you all be to say that I'm a kid?

I was 19 when the OG SNES came out.

 

[reelbigtink]

12:05 BELIEVE

 

[Netherscourge]

Anyone find a NA pre-order yet?

 

[jennetics]

And preorders went live!

Why would you do that to me...

 

[LiK]

Pffftt

Did we play together in OW? Are you a VGA Turbo?

 

[KPunk]

Totally 4 PM.

 

[Team Filler]

The release date updated again

Spoiler

for me

at Best Buy!

 

[RRockman]

When does the magic begin?

 

[mattwhite924]

And preorders went live!

That was a really bad idea.

 

[gweemz]

I asked my dog again and she said she didnt specify what day preorders are going live...

 

[Flousn]

Secured a pre-order on Amazon.de.
Still not sure if I should keep it, 100€ seem a bit excessive.
Well, of course I will keep it. But at least I think about adult stuff like spending my money wisely. Right? Right?

 

[Banjotanooki]

The release date updates again at Best Buy!

"Not yet announced" on my end.

 

[Joey Fox]

When in local time did Amazon UK and DE go live for pre-orders?

That could be the answer for the US in EST or PST.

 

[Zen Aku]

The release date updates again at Best Buy!

"Not released in NoA"

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

lol

 

[MadClacker]

The release date updates again at Best Buy!

It's been flicking back and forth between the release date and "not yet announced" for the past hour or so.

 

[ash321]

Bestbuy about to open the gate.
Steady boyssss

 

[JP]

Just placed a pre-order with Nintendo UK, as I did with the NES version. This means I will be cancelling the Smyths Toys pre-order later.

It took them nearly four hours to do it but, done.

I'm sure there will be quite a few cancellations if people visiting sites, I just feel a lot happier with getting my stuff directly from Nintendo as I've bought Nintendo stuff from them as long as I can remember and they've always been really good.

 

[Booker.DeWitt]

The release date updated again

Spoiler

for me

at Best Buy!

 

[smokeymicpot]

So 4pm now.

This thread has 777,794 views currently. I'm imaging close to a million people sitting on GAF spamming F5 to get their SNES Classics, and it's just a glorious thought.

 

[Tryphus]

Guys, they won't open preorders until we get to 500 pages.

 

[Euphoria14]

4:00PM EST!

It's going to happen this time. I just know it!

 

[DeathoftheEndless]

'Hey, aren't you going to wait and greet the Great Pumpkin? Huh? It won't be long now.'

 

[Slayer-33]

This is getting ridiculous

 

[Hastati]

I asked my dog again and she said she didnt specify what day preorders are going live...

Was your dog's previous master Reggie

 

[Gaspard]

I love this cycle

 

[canoli2006]

The things we do for our video games. Get ourselves all jacked up for a non existent preorder.

 

[FalsettoVibe]

This is crazy......Why does Nintendo do this?

 

[480p]

did the amazon link go down for anyone else?

edit: nvm

 

[LordOcidax]

This is getting ridiculous

Actually is fun... Lol.

 

[moltonasty]

Guys, they won't open preorders until we get to 500 pages.

Reggie be like "SHOW ME. HOW BAD DO YOU REALLY WANT IT"

 

[moeman]

Actually is fun... Lol.

Maybe if you're a masochist

 

[Hubbl3]

100% chance that at 4pm there's a 50% chance that North American preorders open. Just watch!

 

[Cloudius12]

did the amazon link go down for anyone else?

Still up for me.

 

[Lasthope106]

Let it go fellas. It ain't happening. Get yourself a Pi3 and a few USB controllers. Put the Pi out of sight and you will never know the difference.

 

[vulva]

This is crazy......Why does Nintendo do this?

I don't think Nintendo does anything, I think it's fans doing it to themselves.

 

[UberTag]

SNES Classic, or another dock for my Switch? I'm thinking I'll go with the extra dock as the games are sure to hit Switch at some point.

Given Nintendo's reticence towards Virtual Console of late, I wouldn't be so sure of that.

 

[Realeza]

Wait what's going on?

 

[Joey Fox]

I love this cycle

This reminds me of the thread when everyone kept posting the same exact things about flapjacks…

 

[ShadowKingpin]

When I heard Reggie fart, you could make out "4PM EST" in his dust cloud. After that, he asked me if my body was ready. My nose wasn't.
