Nintendo announces the SNES Classic
- Thread starter Mook
- Start date
From Walmart.com
Amazon sold out within 5 minutes. Best buy was the same. Tried walmart and both my brother-in-law and I got one. Sold out not to long after that though. Not sure if they're doing it in batches or what.
N64 and Gamecube classics will have a grown Fish standing in line at 7PM. No easy way besides PC to emulate those.
I didnt even know a pre order was announced. I know there were preorders in the UK, but that was the UK.
Believe me, last I heard was that they weren't doing preorders. I didn't even know UK was doing them. My brother-in-law saw on twitter that preorders were up (within a 5 minute time frame from when he saw the post), and amazon and Best Buy were already out. My wife checked Walmart and we got one. Not even 10 minutes later, sold out.
Most roms are fine, but there are roms and setups that will NOT ever be the same as the real equipment.
Super FX chips are a good example and usually a PITA depending on the setup and rom.
Plus it helps to have actually played and remembered what the real thing feels like.
Im not too crazy on the SNES mini. It has some good games, but no Chrono Trigger really makes me. Ill try once and if I dont get one, then I dont get one.
I just bought complete chrono trigger and secret of mana games for my snes rpg collection. This mini is worth it for just earthbound really. Complete earthbounds go for like $600+ on eBay, I think even just the cart goes for $150+
Sadly....yes. They jumped the gun and was supposed to do the preorders later this week instead of last week. They cancelled my order.
Sucks man! Total BS they'd get people's hopes up like that and then pull the rug out from under them!
Nintendo can get fucked w/ this shit they're pulling. They may as well just be handing them over to the scalpers.
I would have liked one of these just as a novelty item. Yes its just an overglorified emulator that I could build myself for much cheaper but I would have happily paid the price of admission for one nonetheless. But if nintendo doesnt want my money then fuck em.

Went on the GameStop app and they only had bundles (cheapest being $145), but kept erroring when I was checking out. Went to Target.com and they had the preorders in stock. Added to cart, went to create account, and as it went back to cart to check out, it said that it just sold out. WTF is that shit. They had it in stock and allowed me to add one in cart. But by creating a profile and going back to cart, it took mine off. I always thought they allowed an item to be counted in the cart for a short period of time. Fuck Target.
One of the main reasons I want an snes classic is for some of the games. I can buy a retro one and use the cartridges but I don't feel like paying $250+ for Earthbound.

Another great way to play these games I hear if you have a SNES is to get an everdrive.
My wife got me a preorder today. I guess Walmart had some new stock/preorders today and she got one for me. My brother in law got one as well.
