Seems that many of the boxes are slightly damaged on the edges 
Yeah, there were 60 people in the line at my Target. They finally opened more registers to move the line along. I was surprised at the number of units (73) that my Target had.
Yeah, that's that authentic SNES experience right there.Seems that many of the boxes are slightly damaged on the edges
Maybe with a Wii Remote serving as a bridge between the controller and your computer's Bluetooth?
Sorry, looks like the seller I ordered from for $1 last night is sold out.

Why would anyone trust a word that comes out of Reggies mouth?

I already have most of these games. But I want one anyway.
It's not his fault, he's just a spokesperson for a small start up company like Nintendo. They just weren't prepared for this much demand.Why would anyone trust a word that comes out of Reggies mouth?

Standing outside a mall GameStop hoping I have success. Sign on the window says they have 15 and I'm counting less than that in line.
Edit - I tried Target before work, but 45 minutes after they opened, and they were all sold out. Said they had 35 come in.
Edit - whoop, got one!

I sure as hell wasn't 5 years old during the 90s that's for sure.

Went round my friends house for the first time, went upstairs to see the new nintendo system....somehow when climbing the bunk bed i pulled the controller cord which yanked the system, it flew across the room and broke.
This caused the 3 older brothers who actually owned the snes to run upstairs and loose their minds.
Never since that day have i witnessed a nintendo console break in person and never again did i trip on any cords.

I saw it on Twitter from someone who talked to a Walmart employee. Who really knows though?

You can try Nintendo NY as they are limiting one per person for the entire year. At least that is what one worker said.
My Aug. 25th pre-order just shipped today. I'm supposed to get it on Oct.6-9. I think you'll get yours. My Aug. 22nd. pre-order is still pending, but I'm supposed to pick that one up in store on Oct. 4th.
And yet preorders are STILL in limbo.

in the future is it likely we'll be able to use 4 controllers if, we get 4 player games on there? also for the HORI snes fighter commander, it's wireless, but i don't see any info on amazon about if you can use two of them at once, i didn't see any indication on the controller either and with a long wait time i kinda wanna find out for sure
actually are there any other controllers that work? what are the best controllers that are/can likely work in future?

I got mine from Walmart last night. Have to give credit to the local store for communication and organization. They had 32 units in stock according to Brickseek. I called in the afternoon yesterday and was told that they would pass out tickets at 10:30, and then we'd have to be back at 12:01 to pick up the system or they would be sold to someone else. There was a 1 per customer limit.
I got there at 8:15 and was 6th in line. Got my ticket at 10:30 and went home for a little bit. At 10:30 there were maybe 25 to 30 people in line. When I came back at 11:40 I was 5th in line. I overhead the clerk tell someone on the phone that all the tickets were gone. At 12:01 they started selling and I was out the door by 12:05. The whole process went smoothly and was much better than waking up at 4:30 like I did for the NES classic.
Can't wait to dive into Star Fox when I get home from work today.

The flight plan I just filed with the agency list me, my men, Dr. Pavel here. But only one of you!
Pixel Perfect is definitely not the original way. The other two options are close, so pick whichever you like more. CRT is probably the most "authentic" but it's not for everyone. It's the look that most closely resembles playing a real SNES on an old CRT tv.
They do Treasure Truck in NYC but I'm signed up for text alerts and I haven't got any yet.

Its odd that huge retailers like Wal-Mart and Target are getting less quantities than places like Toys R Us.

Still over 30 left at my Best Buy

Have you asked if you can pick it up from the depot?
They didn't sell 8:9 TVs, did they. Everyone played these game at 4:3. There may be some pixel artifacting in 4:3 mode since it has to stretch certain pixels to work in 1280x720 resolution. There's no "perfect" way to play these except on a CRT, or wait until we get 8k TVs where the artifacting would be all but imperceptible.
