Retails for $80, scalps for $300 hocuspocus;
I had no interest in the NES Classic, but this is like the golden era of Ninty games right here. I definitely will take another Ninty cock in the ass and buy this, however what remains to be seen is if I will ever have the opportunity. I never saw a NES Classic in the wild, be it in a store or online, and I feel like this won't be any different. Definitely not gonna camp out or any dumb shit for it, that's for sure.
That is a great list of games. But only $300? No. Because earthbound is included, you'll be lucky to get it for only $800-$1000

same
i hope the controller cord length this time is something fucking reasonable like 6-10 feet and not the like 3 inches the NES ones were lol
it's nice that they pack in two controllers this time too, since you could never find the god damn NES controllers in the wild either

srsly I ONLY wanted the controller from the nes classic for my wii/U, but couldn't even find that.
The only accessory still available for the nes classic is the carrying case
V cool that street fighter is included i didn't think that would make it as a capcom game

I dont think that'll make a difference to scalpers though.
good shit good shit that's some good shit right there etc
but yeah what dan said
It is interesting to note that ROM Earthbound did cost $2 more than other SNES games on VC, so even still, it has more value than the others

I don't know how they did it in the 90s, but now typically the licenses for composed music for a game are all owned by the developer rather than the composer. If that was the case then, I doubt music costs were the reason.

I think the real problem, specifically with EB, is that many of the songs were pretty much copies of existing songs.

I'm not sure what songs you're specifically referring to, tho I suspect the "Johnny B. Goode" battle theme and Tessie's theme sounding kind of like "Strawberry Fields Forever" and other such parodies, and those wouldn't be the issue. Those would easily fall under parody clause.
The real issue in music licensing would be the actual literal samples used. Here are the major ones:
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_oc9Ypcb2Q[/youtube]
However, Nintendo (or more likely NoA localization reps) has gone on record saying that the music had nothing to do with the re-release's long delay. It is Nintendo, though, so we've never gotten a straight answer as to their true reasons.

no, everything remains intact in the re-release, which is evidence for Nintendo's assertion that the music had nothing to do with the delay

yeah pretty much
about the music, it's been said before that the music was one of the issues preventing a re-release. Whether or not that is ACTUALLY the case, I haven't ever heard.
I mean, we all know the real reason it never got a re-release until recently anyway. Metroid Syndrome

managed to snag a preorder on UK amazon for the hot skittle version. problem is the page explicitly said it wont ship to US, but it accepted my US address regardless. so i dunno, likely it gets canclled but if it doesnt i'm more than fine with having this one lol

Walmart preorders are live now: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Super-Nintendo-Entertainment-System-Classic-Edition/55791858
I'm surprised I got a preorder in a whole 30 minutes after they went up
well i sure didn't see that post fast enough
I'm not sure it was still up the moment I posted that, but I posted right after ordering and it had already been up for 30 minutes so I figured it'd still be up for a bit longer
now I'm getting "technical difficulties" when I try loading that page confuseddood;
I guess maybe I got it just in time. I'm sure Amazon, Best Buy, and others will have their preorders up soon too.
Yep gonna get fucked.
Randomly comes up at 12am EST and still sells out within an hour at walmart. No shot ill ever get one
probably nearly all scalpers that pre-ordered it too
how would i go about getting the uk version
blegh
probably will do that if the price is right

Wouldn't you have to get a plug adapter just to use the UK version
Quote from: YPargh on July 23, 2017, 06:19:28 PM

It's just a regular USB AC adapter. You can just use another one.
Europe definitely has a better design for the SNES than America does, and it seems they're even using 60fps NTSC games for both.
I'd say it's the better version if you can actually get it. I'd rather have a European one, but I'll settle for the US one unless it's so plentiful that I can easily import it for MSRP.
Damn the pound used to be worth about double the dollar's value
Sucks
hiro i will sell you my euro snes classic for paid price + ships but ONLYYYY (!!!) under the conditions that 1) it actually fucking ships to me in the first place and doesn't get cancelled lol and 2) i can secure a US version for myself
both of those are entirely unlikely tho so best of luck to the both of us
It's shit like this that reaaally makes me wanna stop supporting Nintendo
Quote from: Snowy on July 26, 2017, 02:55:48 PM
i mean they're limited run items, not everyone is gonna be able to get one. by no means am I defending them, I think it's beyond retarded that they aren't trying to capitalize on the NES and SNES mini/classics. They're actual gold mines.
I get that, but they're doin exactly the same thing with the switch. It's their general business practices as of late that bugs me.
...but the switch isn't a limited run item. they're producing them at max capacity, it's just that that capacity isn't enough to meet demand. because everything we fucking look at these days has NAND storage, a cpu, a screen, etc. we're currently in the middle of a global computer component shortage (https://9to5mac.com/2017/05/30/nintendo-switch-components-apple/). if you want to blame anyone for the rarity of the switch, blame apple.
also the switch isnt nearly as hard to find as the NES classic ever was. i've easily had the chance to buy 5 or 6 switches by now, you just have to be paying some level of attention to CAG and Wario64 n brickseek n shit, they pop up and are on sale for 10-30 minutes usually once or twice a week.

I know the switch isn't a limited item, but it sure feels like it sometimes. Point being, it shouldn't still be nearly impossible to find at this point (tho I know it is easier than launch time)
I somehow doubt Nintendo is ACTUALLY producing at max capacity. They may say they are....
Walmart cancelled every single pre-order of the SNES Classic
apparently making it available at all was an error
They done fucked up.
Merely a preview of coming attractions
Ordering from Wal-Mart is basically a crapshoot for limited video game consoles. I remember ordering one of the 99 $ 3ds systems last holiday and they canceled that on me. They suckkkk
yeah i wouldnt trust walmart to deliver on anything; also got one of those $99 3DS's, and while they didn't cancel, it took them an entire extra month past my initial delivery estimate to get it to me. it was also a Christmas present for my brother which i wasn't sure i was even going to fucking get that thankfully showed up on the 20th of December. no clue what i was going to get him if that fell through since the 3DS was already a backup for the NES Classic I could never find.
these things, on the other hand...emulators in cheap plastic shells. they definitely have the resources to pump these babies out ad infinitum
Quote from: Big Goop on July 26, 2017, 04:06:55 PM

i mean their sales target is only 10 million with a manufacturing target of 20 million, which indicates they dont think they are actually going to be able to produce 20 million this year. sure artificial scarcity is a thing in business for sure, but this seems pretty par for the course for a hot console launch coupled with component shortages.
Quote from: Nico Yazawa on July 27, 2017, 01:41:44 AM

maybe, but they still have a NAND chip in them though; a smaller NAND chip (probs 512 MB) but a NAND chip nonetheless. it's likely there will be a bottleneck for them too tbh.
regardless, if they're having manufacturing limitations that's one thing and it's understandable. what's annoying and completely avoidable is how they aren't being transparent at all about pre-orders, the number of units to expect, whether they will be limited to being manufactured for like 6-9 months the NES classic was, etc. if they would just fucking tell us what to expect up front, i wouldn't be as pissed that i'm never going to get one of these.
Well, that's my problem too. Sure, they say they're gonna make more snes classics than nes, but, what does that mean?
100,000 units for nes, and 100,100 for snes?
So, Nintendo promises, (lol) that the snes classic will be available for pre-order in late August at "various retailers" and that "a significant amount of units will be provided at launch."
I'm still not holding my breath.
hope this means 'various retailers' can confirm presale date/time windows here soon and that it doesn't just drop at 2 AM on Amazon one random Wednesday morning
i still just hope my euro pre order gets fulfilled honestly lel
As long as they release copies at stores without a pre-order necessary I'm pretty sure I can get one if I go early on release day

i was unbelievably fortunate to get one of these when it was available for no more than five minutes on the very last day they were being offered, and that was
after i'd had a previous order cancelled

well, that lasted long i guess.....

This will not be any better
oh nice i was FUCKING ASLEEP and it wasnt even an unreasonable sleep for east coast either fuck
here's to hoping there's some reasonably hour'd ones
Nice, Amazon put theirs up around 2 or 230 am Pacific. If only I had stayed up to be worthless for work!
Amazon's was shady as fuck, it was an alternate listing, not the official one they already had up, but it WAS Amazon's listing as confirmed by their customer service department. So I've got fingers crossed that it might just be their partial stock or they have some more for prime members or some dumb shit idk
Really dont want to buy it through Gamestop cuz i hate that company but whatever gotta do what i gotta do i guess
Mostly I just wish I knew if my UK order was going to get cancelled or not because if I knew for sure I would get it I wouldnt give a rats ass about the US version lol

Even though it was gone in minutes, I think this stock lasted a lot longer than any NES Mini listings. I was interested in that since it was announced and never got a chance to order it; iirc most of its listings disappeared in seconds, like so fast that the sites weren't done updating for everyone. Some amiibo were like that too.

Supposedly Wal-Mart will put it out at 1 Eastern, 10 Pacific
Refreshed page at 10. Saw preorder. Clicked it. By time page was finished loading I got an error message. Refresh page. Product is sold out.
Literally less than a minute
NES Classic didn't even have official preorders. Target goof'd and took them, but i dont think they had any stock idea when they did. Otherwise, yeah they went up at usually random times and usually for windows of 30 seconds to 2 minutes at most.
yeah the walmart one was total bullshit lol

yeah.... I told myself I wasn't gonna really try to get one.
But when preorders were becoming a thing, I was like, well maybe I can
Now I see those preorders are lasting literal seconds, so fuck it.

i learned my fucking target account had been locked out when trying to checkout, just made a new account with my work email instead, still was not fast enough to get one.
wooo.
if you have a gamestop you can go to RIGHT NOW they are apparently taking preorders IN STORE, RIGHT NOW
my nearest gamestop is 30 minutes away, and my car is also 30 minutes away, so im fucked
gamestop allotments are apparently only 10 a piece so if you're reading this you're too late lol
Oh well.

I don't entirely trust having just one pre-order, so I'm still keeping an eye on the listings and I plan to order another one if I get a chance. Everything is selling out too quickly though.
On a side note, it kinda bugs me that they chose to make the mini consoles' controllers be a Wii Classic Controller instead of a USB gamepad that could be used with Switch (and PC). Of course, I'm not surprised considering they still haven't said a anything about Switch VC.
Being able to digitally distribute things should be able to prevent scarcity, but Nintendo isn't using that for anything that matters except Earthbound. SNES Classic could easily be a Switch app. Star Fox 2 should get a release on at least one of Nintendo's existing consoles. Wii U got digital Wii games but they never used it for the Wii game that needs a rerelease the most, Fire Emblem.
If they just put the thing on a Switch cart and sold it for $60, it'd be the best selling Switch game of all time in like two weeks.

According to Denis Talbot it's because the north American version won't have French translations in the games themselves.
Which is weird because everyone in Quebec also knows English. Either way they'd get bad press I suppose
it's not about bad press, they don't want to risk being sued lol
bill 101, etc
but what's weird is nintendo has been selling english-only VC games in Quebec since the original Wii and i don't think they've ever had any problems with those
but i guess 30 on the same machine is too much or smth idk
smh either way

Yeah I read something about how since they're roms they should be exempted from the requirement to provide French translation but that was random Quebec person on the internet so I don't know if that's accurate.
You sent me down a very interesting and complicated road about the politics of games in Quebec n_u

Quote from: https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/zmmyv5/snes-classic-wont-be-sold-in-quebec-because-of-french-language-restrictions-retail-employees-sayAccording to both employees, who were located at separate stores, this decision is related to the province's notoriously strict language requirements, which protect the use of French in the province and mandate that business be done in French. Because of a 2009 requirement, all video games sold in the province must be translated into Quebecois French if they're available in French elsewhere in the world. Because of differences in format, this can be more complicated than just selling a European edition of the game in the Canadian province, a report in Le Devoir noted that same year.
i mean, i get it
but does it

but i didn't realize that best buy charges in full for preorders unlike other retailers who don't charge until the product ships
so now i'm completely out of do$h and wholly reliant on this single preorder not being cancelled :'(

actually, i think they do a temporary charge of the full amount, and then retract it, then actually charge you when it ships

Brick and mortar girl;
apparently amazon UK CSRs are saying international orders WILL be shipped, so i may be getting mine after all boys
not that i trust a damn word they say but i want to dream
Oh noice congrats on your superior aesthetics
yeah still gonna keep my eye out for a US one (probably Prime Now on release day mostly) for maximum actually-getting-one-security and so i can possibly keep my promise to hiro, but yeah i'm deff team skittle buttons for sure and would not be saddened in the least to settle on only having that one
Idk why it became popular to call them Skittles buttons there's no blue in Skittles clearly they're M&M buttons
fingers crossed >.<
SNES Mini was originally supposed to end production by the end of 2017, but Nintendo just announced it's been extended into 2018.
Even more surprising, the NES Mini is coming back, with a New production run in Summer 2018.
http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20170912005798/en/
Also, Nintendo keeps reiterating "we swear it won't be as bad as last year", most recently with a claim that SNES Mini will have more units available at launch alone than NES Mini had during its whole life, with repeated restocks afterward. Reggie made a statement saying "don't pay more than $79.99 at any auction sites"
And I'll believe all of this once it happens.
Although, the nes coming back is nice news, and I hope that hits the scalpers hard.
so mongly what's the status on that order
oh yeah, my SNES Mini delivered early. I got it on Thursday morning even though it wasn't supposed to release until Friday.

yeah same but honestly emulation is never as good as you want it to be (even though the snes classic is just a glorified emulator lol)
snes classic's emulation isnt even 100; in yoshi's island when you touch fuzzy get dizzy, the whole fucking stage dissapears for like 5 frames instead of just getting fuzzy for example lol

i mean its trivial sure lol but just saying ITS NOT DEFINITIVE OKAY
not trivial 2 me :(
o
im sorry for your loss
It's as definitive as you can get emulation-wise
I just saw someone comment on a thread that the genesis had a better library of games than snes, and that Nintendo didn't become something special until the n64....

it's particularly difficult to be this wrong about anything
snes is arguably the only thing nintendo ever did right
So who's gonna try to hack this thing to play every snes game?
Also, I look forward to using one of the controllers as a classic controller on my wii/Wii u

Aaaaand I'm bored n_u
But been playing some sweet ass Banjo Kazooie on the N64 so
so how can i buy one of these
Ok
From what I hear, Nintendo should be shipping out more within the next week or two, but we'll see.
follow Wario64 on twitter, subscribe to alerts if you can since i know you use an old ass phone david. he posts almost immediately when new listings go live
finally managed to get one of these today
i'm quite surprised retailers are still receiving shipments this late lol
also, i was wrong about this

start fox 2:s coming up, and by some miracle it's now one of a rare few that miyamoo ultimately couldn't ruin girl;
the snes classic version of star fox 2 is actually
worse than the beta rom that's been floating around for years
it's literally about 10x harder, and the critical ability to lock on to enemies is disabled unless you want to go searching every corner of the lylat system for 50 hidden coins, which is impossible to do in one playthrough
it's as if it was deliberately sabotaged
