I'm a bit worried about the game footage looking real composity in the trailer. If that's a filter, hopefully you can turn it off.
I'm afraid if I sleep early tonight I'll miss preordering it. Been getting notifications for Wario64's twitter all day and looking at this thread just in case.
Don't worry.
I'll have stock on eBay.
;)
I'm worried about missing it too. =/
Do I need it in my life? No.
Do I want it? Of course.
Will I preorder it? Done it already.
Edit: EBgames New Zealand is letting preorder just 1 per customer. Good on them.

Yesss managed to order one! Was hoping to get a second but they limited to one per person.
Edit: up on Amazon Japan for those in Japan searching https://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/B08HJ9T6GY/ref=sr_1_5?dchild=1&keywords=ゲームウォッチ&qid=1599202220&sr=8-5
Dang resellers already listing it at 12,700 Yen pff

Just waiting for preorders for Sweden/shipping to Sweden. I really want to get my hands on one of these.
I was still mulling my order from the Nintendo store before work and whilst at work I looked at it and was sold out (then the site became overloaded).
I found scalpers selling them for ¥15,700 already. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Dang Amazon sold out already. It was up first on that Nintendo store like you saw but they must have gone quick. By the time I saw the page for it in the morning it was gone.
You maybe can still get from the 7-11 net shop ( https://7net.omni7.jp/detail/2110617399 )
It's weird but I mostly want it for the clock.
Battery-life would have to be really good for that though.

Never thought to order from 7-11/Seven-i/whatever. Good place to check for stuff.
Thx but shortly afterwards I found the page holder on Amazon and refreshed every now and then - got it preordered. I thought I should have gotten another one but I don't resell stuff and I'm still not sure if I'll actually keep it (but it's safe for now). The possibilities of hacking the thing could be interesting depending on how nice the hardware is (and if someone actually hacks it - still waiting for the PCEmini to be hacked).
Oh haha they're Y26,800 via amazon scalpers as of this moment. That's insane. XD
Looks like Seven is sold out now anyway!
The possibility of maybe being hacked one day is why I wanted to get a second. No idea what kind of hardware or storage is in the thing but would be grand if it could be loaded with gameboy games and other NES games.
That would make it unhackable (without having to jump through hoops) though. I'm gonna assume that most people excited for the device on here are hoping that we'll be able to add additional games to it sooner rather than later.
PCE, MD, and any portable system could be fun to have on it. What if it's the exact same hardware as the first two mini systems? O.o I don't really think so but that hardware does have me intrigued.
Good point. Would be cool to play other NES or GB games on this!

Man I'm just excited purely for nostalgia and novelty factor but now you've got me extra excited. Doubtful though.
Oh shityay, USB-C! what are the chances this can get hacked to run other NES/GB games?
yay, USB-C! what are the chances this can get hacked to run other NES/GB games?
I would hope pretty high. All the other ones have been hacked. If I could transfer my NES classic ROMS over I'd be pretty stoked. This thing is cool. Have a pretty ridiculous collection of 2-button game ROMs from 3DS ambassador program and Wii/3DS Virtual Console eras that I've already loaded into my Switch with Retroarch, but this could be even slicker for $50.
I'm weak
I preordered this.
I don't even know why
I hope we'll be able to hack this and put some other games

Sorry I only just saw your post, but it has been available to purchase since the announcement last night. Visit the Nintendo JP website for it and you can preorder it from the store. Good luck.
Edit: never mind, just checked and they're sold out now. Sorry. I was able to grab one last night and did so within minutes of the presentation ending.
why? this way if you want to use it as a clock, you can keep it plugged in. it would be pretty useless as a clock if it ran on AA batteries, they would die so fast
i feel like they could super easily release like this same hardware as a game boy classic next year
25th anniversary of the game boy pocket (which is what they should model it after)
Wow it was up last night? Wonder if they will do the same for future system releases. I managed to grab one from Amazon today and another from the Seven net shop.
I just prefer standard batteries in devices like this because I don't have to worry about them bloating and deteriorating in the future. Finding spares is going to become harder as time goes on. Plus if it is used like a tabletop clock it could get power via the USB port.
On the plus side this allows it to be hacked, as other posters pointed out.
£50? Wow. That's approaching +50% of the Japanese price using current market rates.
Shoto has it for £45, don't know if anyone posted that: https://www.shopto.net/en/gadgameandwatch-game-watch-super-mario-bros-p502322/

Hopefully cheaper on another site soon, but it's an option

UK prices include a 20% VAT. Straight comparisons to pre tax prices don't work. Amazon's price is 5 pounds over the straight conversion.
