SO! Who scored a Nintendo Classic?

I still have the original Nintendo classic and tons of games. My girls got it from Santa in elementary school. They are now 33 & 35.

When the Wii came out, there were drawings. I happened to get up at 4 am in January to go to a drawing for 20 Wii's and there were 19 people in line... it might take a while but you'll get one eventually!

DH actually got me a NES/Super NES/Sega thing (I can't remember the name) for my birthday latst month. It doesn't come with games though, I have to find the cartridges on e-bay.

My son was first in line at his walmart this morning and he got 2 of them. One for him and one for his brother. Now I find out my son-in-law would like one, so we're hoping to find another one before Christmas.

For once I can say ME!!!

Went to Target at 7:30, was about 12th in line. Guy came out and said they got 4 in.

Walked right next door to Best Buy and was 2nd in line. They came and handed out tickets at 9:30. They received 21.

Didn't luck out on an extra controller, but did get a joystick and extension cable.

Felt like Black Friday!

I'm in line right now with golden ticket number 25 out of 28 last ones in our city apparently!!!!!

I did. I first went to Target and was the 22nd in line, but they only had 16. I went directly afterwards to Toys R Us and I was 8th in line and they had 10. They took others names and phone numbers for a future release. Neither place had controllers. I pre-ordered extension cords online with Game Stop.

I originally planned to sleep in due to being zapped with super bad allergies, and I guess I still did waking up at 7:15 am. But knowing it was high on my son's Christmas wish list made me throw on clothes and leave without eating breakfast to get to the store. I ended up having fun conversation with the guys in front and back of me at both locations, seeing a couple from my Target excursion who were animatedly waving at me at Toys R Us from the end of the line. In a way it was a fun excursion and my teen was super appreciative. I was also impressed how both stores had it very orderly. Now to hunt down one more controller.

My 23 year old mentioned it and then went on to act like he didn't want one. So whether he wants one or not, I'm getting it!!!!

I downloaded Super Mario Bros from the Nintendo app store on our Wii so we can play the classic game. I think they had Zelda too.

There's supposed to be another big release mid December. There are several on Amazon for $230ish.

Oh they totally know. They do it for marketing purposes. Higher demand created by the buzz of not being able to get one. Guarantees they'll Sell out every time. Bastards.

Oh, it wouldn't have mattered, I left work early so I would be home at 5ET (the time of that sale was BS if you live in the Eastern time zone). DS and I were sitting there ready to go with 3 different devices and never even got close to getting one.  The whole thing is crap. Nintendo knew that the item would be in high demand, but purposely didn't produce enough, Amazon is currently letting people who purchased one for $59.99 sell them for hundreds of dollars on their website. People are douche - if you want one, buy one. If you don't, then leave it for someone who does.

Wow. I have one from the mid 1990s I'm pretty sure. I know I had it before my kids. It still works as I played with them off and on over the years.

Who knew it would be popular again.

I did love it!

I still had my original from 1988 until a few years ago. It finally quit working. Had the guns and about 25 games. I only ever played Mario Bros though.

And it just sold out again on Walmart. In less than a second. I had it on my laptop and iPhone. Refreshed right at 4pm, hit add to cart on both and then hang time and epic fail. Sold out.
