Ah come on. Don't worry, it'll be just as hackable and you can play NES and SNES on it.

Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance is where it's at, the cool kids all moved down the street!
Saw an article online that said Best Buy announced they would have them this morning. As typical with journalism today, they told half the story. For the first time in my life, I went there shortly after 9, they open at 10, and waited in line. There were 8 people in front of me. Guy comes out of store at 9:30 and says all consoles are spoken for under their ticket system. I was unclear when these tickets went out but I walked away with no NES. I don't know anything about tickets. Nintendo can eat a bag of d***s. I won't buy anything else of theirs ever. Sorry nephews, on future holidays, etc., you'll be getting something other than a Nintendo product from Uncle Mike. They won't see another red cent from me. Their customers over the years have put them where they are. The way they handled this entire thing was a screw you to customers of more than 30 years.
Umad, bro?
Just because you didn't wait in line early enough, you lose out. Serious hunters knew about this last Friday. Most folks were in line a good 3-4 hours before store opening and got tickets handed to them then.
Work harder!

ahhhhh good ole self entitlement.
"I cant have it so im going to piss and moan and never support you again! That will teach you!"
Guess there will be an extra mini snes for me to buy seeing how you aren't buying one when they come out.
You know nothing about me. Expecting a product to be on a shelf that's been out for 5 months and was announced a year ago makes me self entitled? You can go f*** yourself. You buy as many as you effing want. You want to get in a line for hours ahead of time because a company with their experience royally screwed up a rollout, you go right ahead. In the meantime, if this is all you have to offer, STFU and crawl back under your bed.

Yep, hemad, bro.
Really dude??
After this many months I shouldn't have to be a serious hunter and I shouldn't have to get in line at dawn. You understand principles, don't you?

if anyone's gonna be pissed about (regardless of circumstances) not getting a NES Classic, be pissed at Nintendo
a company with their resources could have had 20,000,000 units manufactured by end of Q1 of 2017.
but they didn't. whether intentional or not, they didn't. that's life.
i'd like to have had one, but the desire-to-drama-ratio wasn't worth it for me.

I am starting to think this is possibly brilliant marketing. The Switch is currently more expensive than the PS4 and the xbox one. People are actually buying the little emulator box for the price of the Switch, which makes the Switch seem like a better deal. The customers are comparing the Switch to a vastly inferior product that they can't easily get instead of against (potentially) better established systems that are cheaper.
With the Virtual Console coming out soon, Nintendo only needs people to buy a handful of NES titles to make more money than on the Classic. There is no reason why they should spend their manufacturing resources on the Classic when they can use it to make more Switches. They doubled the first year production from 8 million to 16 million units. I think they need all of their manufacturing capabilities to make that.
I am actually glad that I didn't buy a Classic now. I am enjoying the original NES once in a while, but I am having a lot more fun with the Switch.

I'd come back to the store after hours and wipe a diarrheic turd on their door handles, and jam gum in their locks.
I'd also go to the source of that article and blast the shit out of them while still hot about it.
Blame the store and the news source for this. While Nintendo does have some culpability in it, they had nothing to do with this particular incident. Either the store didn't put out the proper information, or the media site failed to disclose it. Not worth bringing a lawyer into it, but they shouldn't get off scott free.

So let me get this straight? Nintendo announced they are discontinuing a product that was already short supplied in the first place. They are selling for way more then asking price on ebay and have been for months. Best buy says they have a final shipment and you expect to walk in have it be on a shelf because its been out for 5 months?
Man the amount of salty you are has to be some kind of record.
Best buy has ran a ticket system for years now due to black Friday stuff, a lot of places run ticketed systems because they don't want people camping out in front of the store for weeks at a time for a product.

This weekend I was helping the red cross-firemen install fire alarms in a poor section of our town. Just door to door knocking. And we go into a house.....they have one game system plugged in on the floor in front of the tv. An original NES. Totally 80s flashback moment.

my buddy just texted me that his wife went to our local best buy this morning and got a ticket for herself along with the person that was with her, so she got two of them.

I got mine at Best Buy today. I got there at 8, they open at 10, and was 6th in line. They handed out tickets as people were showing up, and they were telling people that they were guaranteed a console as long as they came back to pick it up before 1. Several of us decided to wait, since the spare controllers were sold on first come, first served basis. They were out of console tickets by 8:45. Easily 50+ people showed up after that point, but they were all ok with being turned back.
I still don't understand wtf Nintendo is thinking. They have a cheap console that is selling like crazy, being marked up 5x by scalpers. What's the obvious decision? Stop making it, of course! WTF. I swear Nintendo loves scalpers, since every hardware release since at least the Wii has been a scalpers dream.
