Same, here. Got a confirmation number from gamestop, but it doesn't show in my order list, never got an email, and credit card hasn't been charged. I assume I don't have one.

Target was canceling orders last night after folks checked out. That was intensely fricked up.

The other thing that made me super nervous about the possibility of getting ours through them was that the delivery window was "Fri. June 6-Wed June 11".

Walmart's promise is to get it in your hands before 9am on June 5 if you're preordered by June 4.

I also got 2 of the Pro Controllers & the compatible SD card expansion (256GB) on accident because they were in my wishlist to track and when I hit Add All to Cart, it tossed them in there, too.

Still curious what Amazon's deal with the whole thing is. It's not like them to get left out in the cold.

your credit card won't be charged until it ships anyway, that shouldn't be a concern. It's not showing in my order history either.

Surely if we have a confirmation number our order went through right?
















Right? lol

Manually inputing my order ID into gamestop website gives me an error.

I think their servers could have been so overloaded that it's just bogged down. Wouldn't be surprised either way. I looked on X, and everyone that has ordered from gamestop seems to have the same story as us.

I JUST got the confirmation email. Looks real.

Hold out hope, brother.

thanks! So I assume now that you have your email, it's also showing up in your order history on their website?

I'm right there with you. I've checked my WM account no fewer than 12 times today to make sure everything is still good.

You're a good father. I told my kids this is daddy's and they can be happy with their 5 year old Switch and Mario Kart 8.

Oh, it's "mine".

Will be a father's day present to me actually. Kids will get to play it when they don't act like complete jerks to their mama or each other.

Had a zoo field trip today. Just went to my local Game Stop and pre-ordered the Switch and game separate. They were out of bundles.

If I'm able to get a bundle direct from Nintendo, I'll drop my Game Stop pre-order. Or sell it on ebay.

I know an extra $400 or $500 can make a difference in a lot of our days, but don't be part of the problem.

It's not my fault they didn't make enough bundles for me to get one on my first shot.

They broke street date on the last Zelda and it made Nintendo mad. It’s why you only see 3rd party sellers now

Just randomly decided to look back at Walmart. Didn’t get the bundle but got the console. Going to have a couple of happy kids now.

Nintendo not doing the "register to gauge interest" months before now as a means to determine preorder demand is a massive oversight
