In for the sorrow and disappointment of never finding one!

I thought about making this thread first, but then I realized it would look this dumb.

 

[Deader2818]

How is this a deal?!?!?!?!?

Cause you'll never be able to get one, saving money

 

[lakers714]

Lol can't wait for the release stories, too me it seems it has a bit too less game should of been rounded off to 20-25

 

[Nothing-]

It will be cool if they actually include two controllers this time.  Maybe with cords, too!

 

[Fatbot3]

The games list is phenomenal (though still too short for 20+ year old ROMs) and the nostalgia is much more effective with me than the NES (even as an 80's kid) but I still kinda hope this tanks because of how dumb this whole trend is.

 

[Komentra]

We have threads for new console releases and always have.

Anyways... in for as many as I can get. They will make great gifts.
Glad they're including 2 controllers this time around.

 

[Elevander]

In for a European version =P I like the colors on the controller and the shape of the console itself better.

I know what you mean but I spend money on all sorts of dumb shit and these things are the cost of a single game. I bet you that the SNES mini will cost closer to $100 this time around though. A second controller would almost confirm that theory.

 

[oMega505]

I'm thinking this launch is going to be more hectic than the Switch launch... scalpers are going to have a field day

 

[arsenalcrazy8]

Wow, what a lineup - and an unreleased game too. Wild.

 

[The Masked Heel]

$80 for just 21 games? No thanks.

Says right on the Nintendo website that two controllers are included in the box. I am definitely in for this if I can actually place an order somewhere.

 

[DMCA18]

I'm glad this is the official thread. I hate when unofficial threads get by the censors.

 

[uiengineer]

OH man. I can't wait for this.  The game list is great.  I have (nearly) all of those on the original cart, but i'm still buying this day 1 (as long as I can get a preorder in)

 

[BalfourRage]

Waiting on the WiiU classic.

 

[Cloudx9]

Hmmm I already have 10 of the 21 games on my NES Classic. Still want it though, wonder if Nintendo will make it unhackable.

2 controllers and it's $80

 

[frolow]

Can't wait to scalp this

 

[Nothing-]

holy shit they got Final Fantasy III, Secret of Mana, Super Metroid, Super Mario RPG, and Earthbound. That's like the Pantheon of 16bit RPGs.

 

[Monoxide1986]

I am going to preorder one these the first chance I get to. Love my NES classic but the SNES was more my generation and that line up is amazing.

[ElvisTheGreat]

Will be getting this. Still really salty I could never get a NES classic tho

 

[mrliquid]

Pretty good selection of games! Will try to get this on release day.

 

[Evilv6]

Release the scalpers

 

[mackie619]

Hopefully we can actually preorder this time around

 

[theemadgamer]

So now I gotta start a retro backlog......

 

[Nothing-]

Any chance a pre-order goes live today? lol I'm scared to go to lunch.

$80 for just 21 games? No thanks.

haha I love these comments. People pay $60 for a single new release game, CAGs pay $48. The perception of pirates is priceless.

 

[Miken]

Target allowed pre orders for a long time for the NES Classic. So there will probably be that at least.

 

[Fatbot3]

lol, fill the thermos and get out the folding chair, lottery tickets are getting handed out at 7.

I don't think I'll be able to resist if Star Fox has decent performance and Star Fox 2 is even more refined than the beta rom. My other big conflict is that the Eu/Jp version of the Snes looked a million times better than the horrible NA version but that's the one I played 24 hours straight when I get it for Christmas.

Sorry, chief, but I'm not drooling over whatever Nintendo throws out at whatever price point they want to charge like a little lap dog.

 

[mariokart64]

fuuuuuuu

k.

 

[Namelessloser]

There will A LOT of salt when it's all over. 

 

[ElvisTheGreat]

So about them NES classics.... One of you HAS to have 1 at a reasonable price right?.... Right?

 

[Cheapchuck]

If I can order one from Amazon, I may just order some salt to hopefully get it all sent in a box and not a bubble mailer!

 

[realbigexplosion]

Interesting that there's Super FX Chip games on there.  I'll probably try a lot harder to get one of these than I did the NES classic.

 

[Trenchalicious]

Did nobody learn from the first time?

 

[FadeToOne]

The only glaring omission is Chrono.

 

[Ferrari Racer]

I would Photoshop the new box but don't have the time.

 

[gmsick]

Can't wait to flip one. Lol!

 

[mackie619]

I ultimately settled for a European version nes(that I haven't touched since january), so I predict I will end up getting the same for the snes

 

[bee01]

Can't wait to never see this in a store.

 

[blinknot4]

Same. I really, really hope they do actual preorders for this.

 

[Nothing-]

Did nobody learn from the first time?

I learned that I could make hundreds or thousands of dollars, if I wanted. I also learned that I could enjoy some of the best retro games with legitimate first party controllers and some sleek branded hardware.

 

[Fatbot3]

The only glaring omission is Chrono.

They should have also put in Super Street Fighter 2 instead of Turbo. Turtles in Time or even Final Fight would have been a great co-op brawler. They didn't put any in the set which is a big omission when shipping with 2 controllers.

 

[blueweltall]

Awesome selection of games.
