Seems this has dropped in price. Perhaps to price match Gerry.

I ordered this already day one on Amazon, so I welcome the price-drop.
Probably the only time I'll thank Gerry for something.
Hey I did too. But when I checked with Amazon chat they said the pre order guarantee hadn't been applied so I had to cancel and reorder. I would suggest checking..
It usually takes a little time, I just checked mine and it has applied.
Same. My order usually adjusts pretty quick but this time it hadn't. Hence the check with Amazon Chat
I ordered at 10:28 am on 16th of June, so early that they didn't have an image for the item at the time.
Mine hasn't updated either and I can't cancel and reorder because it's out of stock :(
See what Amazon chat can do to help
@julz15: I am, they're just giving me canned responses.
Telling me that the item qualifies for the preorder guarantee and the lower price will apply once it ships!
They just keep saying the same thing over and over, that it hasn't shipped yet and they haven't charged me yet. Telling me stuff I already know
I quoted this thread and they said that the items in this thread have already shipped that's why the price change has been applied lol
They have NFI
@chromium: Yeah. This is a common point, I just keep them on the phone and make them trip up on their logic. Gotta just be very meticulous in explaining how their system works Lol
You wouldn't believe how many times I had to explain how release date delivery worked.
Just checked and my Amazon order has reduced in price. Nice. Cheers OP for the heads up.
Good thing about Amazon is it auto updates price so don’t cancel your order for those that ordered day one it will discount your order that’s why Amazon rocks
Generally speaking, How well do these game watches retain their values after release?
Are they of limited quantities?
Yes limited qty
They're limited, but made in huge numbers. You can still buy the Super Mario Bros one new despite it being technically discontinued months ago. They won't gain value much, there's too many of them, but they won't lose value either.
Thanks for the info I love Zelda but these Watch games are too old for me to enjoy.
I am only half interested and don’t want to miss out on this thing and regret not being able to buy it when I want it one day.
Aka, but it if you want it, don't buy it to flip it.
due to the large amount manufactured, the only way to gain value is to keep it sealed for a good number of years. might be 10 years. lol
Just checked my preorder and mine has already updated to reflect the lower price.
Thanks for the update!
I paid $68 for the HN one (pickup), however, for 1 more dollar I could have gotten free delivery.
Am I really having this debate with myself about delivery? Are we getting lazy or are we too used to delivery these days?
I don't think that's lazy. I'd rather spend my limited free time with the fam or relaxing than running extra trips.
I'd also spend an extra $1 to not have to deal with Gerry.
You'd also not be supporting Gerry. I don't care how bad Jeff is, Gerry can go suck a fat one.
That extra dollar saved is going to pay for import GST on all goods because Jerry Harvey lobbied the government for it.
(profanity) Harvey Norman,not just on that but their poor treatment of suicidal staff.
Technically you paid Harvey Norman a lot more for it since he claimed JobKeeper.
Are they still using button batteries. Or are these now lithium ion rechargeable?
Hey there, the Mario one charges via USB C so I'd say this one does too.
Thanks champ.
Are these investments, or is nostalgia still a thing?
Ah, I remember when nostalgia used to be a thing. Those were the days.
Definitely not investment imo. When the Mario one launched last year it was so over hyped and couldnt fly off the shelves fast enough but when stock caught up it moved slower than treacle and it dropped in price everywhere. Maybe a novelty item in the future. An investment would be to buy the real console and game.
If it had a way to add more games and features, like a revamped and modernised Game Boy instead of Game&Watch I think it would be more popular.
I think I haven't spent more than 10 minutes with my Mario one I got on launch last year.
That said, I will still get this one to bookend the other one and gather dust, because you know, hype.Aubrey tho the first release batch had different serial numbers…which may matter to collectors
There seems to be more stock of these available for the preorder than there was for Mario. Or maybe there was more demand for the former. All I know is now I need to collect all of these future releases whatever titles come along…
Gonna get EB to price match as I have credit there
Can't price match consoles.
Gonna cancel my EB preorder
Does EB retain the $10 deposit if you cancel?
@fookos: I know I can definitely transfer it to another pre-order, as I transferred the $10 from another pre-order to this.
12 Nov delivery
Might as well buy something else as this will get cheaperAre you serious?
This is a pre order for something that releases in November, Amazon do not charge you untill the item ships… and if it gets cheaper, they will automatically lower your preorder price.
Not seeing a watch, is it the size of a watch or what?
"A watch is a portable timepiece intended to be carried or worn by a person. It is designed to keep a consistent movement despite the motions caused by the person's activities. A wristwatch is designed to be worn around the wrist, attached by a watch strap or other type of bracelet, including metal bands, leather straps or any other kind of bracelet. A pocket watch is designed for a person to carry in a pocket, often attached to a chain."
Put on watchlist
Thanks Op, they didn’t update the price on my preorder so had to cancel and reorder again…🤬
Same, strange. It normally updates, but at least its pretty quick to cancel and reorder when it hasn't shipped yet.
I ordered two so I had to cancel both orders and there’s now a limit of one order per account so I had to order the other one on my other Amazon account.
I was in the same boat. Seems to be an issue with the early day one preorders I'm assuming??
Yeh, cancelling and reordering might make it a few days late cos they’re shipping by the list of when people ordered so the first batch will probably ship first but I’m in no rush to play it.
Mine was first 10 mins after it went up, so might be the case.
Yeah mine was before they even had an image for it and my price didn't update either.
Just spent ages on Amazon chat and they told me it will apply once it ships, which I don't believe as it usually updates in the order straight away.
They gave me $10.95 credit anyway, so we'll see
@chromium: I just saved myself the hassle and did a quick reorder. I know it might mean I get it a day late, but happy to not have to much around with it.
Not with me. Updated instantly. One of the first on the first day or preorders too.
You mean the Amazon rep was not telling me the truth when they told me that the lower price won't show up until the item ships? I was told "rest assured" several times, I'm shocked! /s
Mine didn't update either and now it's out of stock so I can't reorder
Honest question, why do you have to spend so much on this, is it worth?
It's not. 3 games from 35 years ago.
Mostly, FOMO scalpers, and
hoarderscollectors.
Thanks OP, got one!
Apparently Gh gives you a bonus face mask if you shop in store, from today.
Yeah so you don’t spit in there in disgust.
I feel like the Mario game and watch really did a number on people's expectations when more stock just kept coming through and through.
Yeh that was nintendos big fat lie, limited release until march my ass.
It was limited until March for manufacturing. Any unsold units at retailers after that period is beyond Nintendo's control. It just means no more now will be made for Mario editions not that they wont continue to sell them if available.
I didn't even know this existed. I would have preordered
should i pay hardly normal or not. Decisions decisionsThis will come back in stock at Amazon before Nov. Its also still available at other retailers if you don't want to wait.
thanks, ordered
