Got one!!!
Wow, they were gone in less than a minute.
I had it purchased before I got the Tracker notification. I was logged into and refreshing Gamestop, Target, Toysrus.com and Walmart. I refreshed at the right time.
So was I. :cry:

Good job though!

I tried to and the page freezed. Can't even load the page now.
Ditto. Still no email. Tracker not showing them in stock.
Some Canadian store just posted theirs will go on sale at noon Central Time, so in like 35 minutes. Maybe Gamestop is gearing up for it?
Gamestop is selling them? Or the Canadian store?
The Canadian store posted on Twitter that information. I'm guessing that is when some other retailers will put them up for sale based on Gamestop's unusual web site behavior right now.
Canadian store was EB Games i'm guessing, basically Game Stop with a different name i think. Anyways they have a preorder site up now (it was up earlier today) and it's showing as sold out. I signed up for a notification too. Man this fucking thing is going to be a nightmare just like the NES. fuck Nintendo.

I'm waiting for the official Amazon one to go live so I can be pissed off I don't get one.

So much for signing up for an e-mail notification at 5 different places. None of them sent me one.

And I have no faith in Nintendo to increase stock very much. Guess I'm out.

From what I can tell from Twitter that wasn't Amazon proper. I mean, no one received the alert email.

I didn't receive Amazon, Best Buy or Target emails. I did receive a WalMart email.

They can go fuck themselves as far as I'm concerned.. with an Xbox 1 and now a ps4 I can give 2 shits..

I mean if I just randomly am at a store and it's there maybe I'll grab it but that's about it

I also have a wii u which we never play, hypothetically if I wanted some of those old games, can't you just do them on there??
