Thankfully, I'm sure the European one will actually look like the nice SNES we got instead of that US ugly one.

lol even less games than the NES classic.

I'd probably say the average quality is wayyy higher though. Plus, with FF6, Earthbound and Mario RPG in there, a metric fuck ton of hours. Plus, 2 controllers.

I barely had any interest in the NES (bar the shell for a RetroPi), but I'm pre-ordering this as soon as I see it available.

Sexy EU model confirmed here too thank fuck.

Doesn't even have Super Mario All Stars?

Nintendo always ignore it, probably because Mario 1 has a stupid momentum bug which ruins parts of the game.

So again probably, once they're gone, they're gone.

It's like they don't understand that they can actually make more profit by meeting demand as opposed to selling a preselected number of units.

From what they say, making these actually hinders Switch production. Right now, Apple is gearing up for the next iPhone so the memory modules and displays are being taken up by them, slowing Switch down anyway.

These are basically to get Nintendos name out there again and try to convert people to Switch because that's where the real money is rather than a one off purchase.

I want this but feel like it will be prices at like 150 now.

The price is in the title, $79.99.

Amazin UK pre-orders are full. Not gone up for order in the US.

80 is reasonable.

Very small amount of third party games but at least Nintendo learned by including another controller and making the cables longer this time.

Was hoping to see Turtles in Time on there, but that's a fun collection. Including two controllers is great also, I just hope they make more than 37 of them.

So, is this the one that can use cartridges too?

Or is just emulation again?

Emulation.

Oh fiddlesticks.

But that's a solid line up and reasonable price. Might just go reserve one at Gamestop tomorrow.

The creators of Star Fox 2 went out for a launch party 20 years late

:)

Japanese version of the mini-SNES has a different lineup of games and a couple more 3rd party games.

The only game missing that I would have loved is Mega man Soccer. :(

Have you played it recently? I loved it too, but it hasn't aged well. Its actually kind of terrible.

Mana/fire emblem >>>>>>>>>>>> the us/eu list

Secret of Mana is on the us list.

But yeah, missing out on Fire Emblem sucks

Clearly i over looked it. Points for us

Also, Punch out/Street Fighter/Seven Stars >>>>>>Fire Emblem

I dunno about all that...theyre stellar...but better...i dunno

Maybe we should start a better game series

Been a few years since the last series.

That shit is missing Chrono Trigger...

There's licensing issues with Chrono Trigger constantly, have to go through the guys who made the art and all that every time they re-release it.

For those in the UK, Amazon is restricting pre-orders to only 1 per customer likely to combat scalping and let more people have a chance to buy the mini console. Also because they likely are not sure how many of those Classics will be sent to the UK.

They started sending out emails to those who ordered more than 1 console stating their pre-orders have been changed.

Small warning to those who pre-ordered the new Classic at Walmart as the retailer recently canceled all pre-orders for the device.

Real USA pre-orders are starting next month.

Just waiting for the phone call from Gamestop.

Pre-orders sold out.

You would figure there would be an official announcement. Instead, nothing. Just let it go live and give zero notice to anybody.

Some details about the Classic:

Managed to get my hands on one thanks to the hot tip about the Gamestop App.

Thanks, internet braintrust.

Toys R Us won't be offering pre-orders.

Instead, they'll have consoles in store on launch day. So, take the day off and get there/camp out early.

I already have that day off :D

What day do they come out?

It's the title of this thread...

For those in Quebec, the SNES Classic is currently rumored to not be arriving for that part of Canada and Quebec's language laws as the rumored reason why.

Stupid Kapoutland.

For those who pre-ordered the Classic on Amazon, the retailer sent emails saying its very likely shipping problems will cause orders to not arrive by launch date.

For those in the UK, Retro Gamer magazine announced they are reviving their Super Play magazine series for a special one-issue edition on the SNES Classic.

I wanted to buy 2 of these and sell one to make my money back but if Nintendo is stepping up production I am not sure what I will do :(

If anyone is still tracking one down, call your local Gamestop. My local store called me up yesterday and said they'll have a few extra coming to them on launch day going on a first come first serve basis.

Gonna try Wal Mart launch day. And possibly Toys R Us if they don't have it.

Got my shipping confirmation! Should be home when I get out of work tomorrow afternoon!

To all of you going hunting tomorrow, I wish you the best of luck.

Gonna try to snag 2 of these shits from walmart now.

Who, now?

Toys R Us still exists until after the holiday season

They had me at F-Zero

Not a lot of games, but those are some of the best games.

Best Buy has like 100 extra. I was just buying a printer but they had like 2 pallets filled. Still didn't buy one but you should be fine if you did not pre order.

I bought 2 trying to sell atleast one

you dick

So many people on Ebay trying to sell em for $180

Well, we already knew Savio was a piece of shit so this is not suprising.

Really not sure what your beef with me for the past year has been.

LETS HASH THIS OUT

Don't think I have a beef with you?

I was just joking. I know they've filed Chapter 11 Bankruptcy, which means they can, and most likely will, in some way, shape and/or form, emerge from it. How successful they'll be is up to them, but I digress.

Anyway, also:

Just sold one for $120. :cool:

Man. whoever's genius idea it was to put the suspended play feature in this should get a huge raise.

No more jotting down codes for Mega Man X.

Feel like I should have waited, prices seem to be going up a lot more now on ebay. But the couple I sold it to seemed very nice, so I am glad they got one.

Hacked mine to make it a SNES arcade perfect port machine
