Anger Mounting Over SNES Classic Pre-Orders

I'm pretty much done trusting Nintendo at this point when it comes to their console promises. After the stupidity with the NES classic they even said that the SNES classic wouldn't have the same kind of supply issues, and yet here we are again. I don't really care anymore at this point, if Nintendo won't bother to produce enough of them to meet demand, then I'm not going to bother even trying to get one.

The fact that the only way to get an SNES classic is to preorder one within the ridiculously small window that the system is available is an absolute travesty on Nintendo's part. Preorder culture is already stupid, with things like preorder exclusive content and other bonuses, but this is taking it way too far.

Same here. Even though I own all of their original hardware and every important game via cart, I still wanted an NES classic for the novelty. But after I found out that I couldn't get one for the price they said it would be ($60.00 for the system and $9.99 for controllers) due to supply issues and scalpers, I gave up. I didn't even care when a SNES classic was announced. I knew it would be pointless and a waste of my energy and blood pressure to try. I suppose the fact that I own the real systems mitigates that... but yeah. It's not worth it. 

Yeah, the sad part is I would have really liked to buy the SNES classic because of how convenient it would be to have all those game in one place, but with how Nintendo does things I'm becoming less and less interested in their systems as a result, which is a shame.
