95% was claimed on Amazon when I snagged it. My buddy texted me before Wario64 notification popped up. That never happens.
Nice that availability seems to be easier this time around. I lucked out on the last go-round but what I really want is Canadian availability of the controllers, specifically for them to be available enough that I can buy a dozen of them. Not to scalp, for a bunch of Wii VC setups I have going and where I want the authentic controller experience.
Just picked one up and availability seems to be good. However, the target I went to got 53 consoles but only 2 extra controllers, so those might still be a little tough to find. Thankfully the 5 people ahead of me in line didn't think to ask for one :D
And still up on Best Buy... Amazon will probably put them up several times today.
Amazon will put out more for the non-prime customers.
This Prime Only batch is a trick they do to make people sign up for Prime. They have done this several times already with sought-after products. They eventually open orders for the regular public. Right now they are just trying to catch as many Prime flies as possible.

Picked one up at Walmart, but they didn't have any controllers there or Target. Any suggestions on a good third party controller that has the same layout?
Just wait until you can get an official one. If you still can't get one months from now, then go and buy a crappy third party controller.
But for now, just wait. It's not like you are dying to play 2-player Super Mario Bros.
You can also use a Wii Pro Controller or even the SNES Classic controller.
Good point about the SNES Classic controller. They're going to look so nice sitting side by side.
Lol...I was in the middle of filling out the stuff on Thinkgeek for shipping and then NOPE. Sold out while it was in your cart.
Oh well. Will try somewhere else later.

I think so too. I called my local supermarket to ask how many calls they got about this. I was only the fourth person to call, and they would be on sale in 2 hours with at least 20 of them in stock. I think the year and a half wait for restocks plus the SNES Classic completely killed the demand for this.
They are available in stores too. I walked in at 8am at mine and got one.
Picked an extra console and controller up for my sister in law from Best Buy. Surprised how easy it was to get both. This also works out best for me because I got my original used from GameStop, so didn't have a box or anything.
They are not necessarily in short supply, the problem is the assholes that buy 2 or 3 just to store or scalp them.
I think generally the market is just used to the idea of these mini consoles, so it's not going to be the same level of frenzy. While I may pick up one eventually I've learned not to get too hyped with these products, only for them to be sold in limited quantities and I have to fight with everyone else. When I can walk into a walmart and pick one up without fuss, awesome. If not...no biggie. I'm kinda over it at this point.
As I mentioned in my earlier post, the Target I went to got 53 consoles and 2 extra controllers. Such a small console to controller ratio likely implies a limited quantity.
Huh, just placed an order on BestBuy. Didn't expect it to be that easy, maybe I got lucky.
Sold out of controllers though.
Edit: I see, expected to ship 7/20. That's fine though, I can wait. This is how all the previous Classic orders should have worked. I can cancel if I find one between now and then.

Thanks. Maybe I'll check out a Gamestop, Target, or Best Buy.
I already have a Famicom mini, but we're getting this just because it doesn't have the controllers connected (which was a stupid decision imo, there's accurate and then there's user-unfriendly). I'm more excited than I should be given we're already bored of the Famicom Mini and it's been snuggly in it's box for a very long time!
Every GameStop in my area (like 40) show availability in store. Now, they don't open for 4 more hours, but I think there will be some to go around if you are persistent. Hopefully everyone lucks out.
The cords being connected like the original didn't really bother me too much. It was the size of them that was just ridiculous.
How are you seeing that? There are 2 stores in Annapolis, so hopefully they'd be stocked.
I found the product listing and looked up store availability. Doesn't say how many but that they have some. And it is every store I know of.
On a side note, sorry for your community yesterday. I lived in Baltimore for 5 years so it hit home as well.
Waited in line for the SNES, but not nearly as interested in this as I was when this first came out. Mainly because NES games have been rereleased so many times and many are going to be included in the Switch Online service. Might still get one if they have it when I stop by Best Buy later.
True, they did say they'd keep making them until the end of this year.
Walked into Target, they had like 30.
I just walked out with one.
Kind of weird how easy it was. I never even saw a single one of the first run of them.
It's too bad they didn't update the display options to match the SNES though. The 4:3 mode is so much better than it is on the NES version.
