Update: And she’s gone – lasted much longer than Walmart’s last round of pre-orders at least!
Walmart took pre-orders for the Super NES Classic Edition for an extremely brief period this week. Now, however, it’s available once again. You can pre-order it here.
What we will say is that Walmart seems to have more pre-orders this time. The last round lasted under a minute, so this is a somewhat good sign.
Amazon appears to have hit a snag with pre-orders placed for the Super NES Classic Edition. In an email sent to customers, the retailer notes that it “recently learned that we may miss your delivery promise”. Units will still be sent out though, and the retailer is “working hard to ensure you get this item as soon as it is in stock.”
In other news, we’re hearing that Amazon is reducing orders for multiple Super NES Classic units reduced to one. Since no limit was placed originally, some customers placed orders for many systems – even dozens. This should hopefully give consumers another shot at snagging a Super NES Classic Edition at Amazon.
Enter the Gungeon was one of the anticipated games announced for Switch several months back. We haven’t heard too much about the port in recent times, but some news was shared as part of an update for Steam players.
Right now the plan is to have Enter the Gungeon on Switch this fall. The team also hopes to ready the big content patch Advanced Gungeons & Draguns around the same time as the PC version. This will include “requested changes, quality of life and convenience features, hundreds of new and substantially more powerful synergies, a bunch of new guns and items, and getting revenge on the Gungeon’s most hated resident, our new boss.” Players can also expect “new rooms, npcs, secrets, and a new mini-boss”.
One of the statues First 4 Figures took pre-orders for earlier this year was The King of Red Lions from Zelda: Wind Waker. It now seems that production is complete, as IGN has posted an unboxing video. Have a look at it below.
