Hi 110,

Thank you for your interest in the Super Nintendo Entertainment System – Classic Edition. As you are aware, this is a highly sought after console that will launch later this fall.

Unfortunately, due to a technical glitch, the Super Nintendo Classic Edition was mistakenly made available last Friday evening ahead of the official release date. We, regrettably, will have to cancel this item on your order. We know that this is incredibly disappointing to you, and we’re truly sorry for this mistake.

In regards to the cancellation of this item, if you paid by credit card, your card has not been charged. Any authorization holds placed on your account will automatically expire in accordance with the card issuer's policy. If you paid through PayPal or with a gift card, your payment will be refunded when the order is cancelled.

The official launch date for this item is 9/29, please check the product page on Walmart.com prior to that date for any updates.

I do hope you’ll give us another chance to earn back your business.

Warm regards,
Deserie Dulaney
Sr. Director Customer Care

If anyone else had pre-orders of the Snes classic from Wal-Mart, did yours get cancelled as well?

I've noticed articles from a few hours ago that Wal Mart is cancelling all pre-orders and refunding those that used Pay Pal.  Seeing some peeved people in comments section.  I am not too happy either as I doubt I will get one now from all the scalpers and I am certainly not going to wait in line just to play some retro games.-or any game for that matter.

Snesfun here I come buddy   (Browser based play of old games)

I get the nostalgia, but buy some good controllers and build a RetroPie or equiv on your PC instead.

This.

Nintendo won't produce enough, and the library of games will be extremely limited. Digital downloads onto a device everyone has would eliminate the first problem, but even then I doubt they'd be interested in correcting the second.

Finding these at retail price will be like finding .22lr at retail prices from 2013-2015.

i would like to get one as a gift but i doubt i will be able to beat the scalpers or the other people pre ordering...for myself i decided just to go full retard and buy original hardware and carts
