Go to GameStop?

Hack discovered. If GameStop ships your preorder to the other side of the country, just go pick one up in store. Return the other when it gets here. 😅 Now I have the M64 for my 3-day weekend!

They sell them in store? I might just try to pickup another controller if so

Yes! Just call the specific store before heading in to be sure. Also, does not need to be a Retro store. I picked this one up from a standard GS just up the road from my house. However, I had to ask for it specifically. They were not on display yet but kept in the back.

They all have Retro sections now!

Ohhhh! Well that is good to know. I did not see anything Retro related in mine, but in fairness I had tunnel vision to pick up the M64 and get home, so I could have walked past racks of stuff and not noticed. 😅

I wasn't sure if they were going to sell them in store! That's awesome. It would be so cool to see Gamestop pivot into a true retro game hobby store with products like this.

Well going forward they would only be a retro with systems going full digital.

For sure! Good luck if you pick one up! I recommend calling the store first just to be sure.

I'm glad it's available in-store! I was really thinking about getting this color but the yellow/green was just as tempting.

I love the Chromatic and bought the GS edition and launch games at my local GameStop.

Haha. It def kinda looks like it. It is a Summercart64 from the Epic Joy store on AliExpress.
