I know we're all having a blast picking up our SNES Classics (for better or worse), but are there any good resources that detail any emulation issues with the games? I know there was some talk about Yoshi's Island having a pared-down effect with one of the baddies.
How's FFVI? If I remember correctly, we've never had a re-release cartridge-perfect port.

Why is it that surprising? We knew there would be vastly more stock than the NES classic, and that a whole bunch of stores were getting like 100 or more of them.
Treasure Truck get, for me.
Click on the horizontal bars on the top left, Programs and Features --> Treasure Truck.
I don't know why it's so hidden.
I mean, I think all we know is that Amazon is having trouble fulfilling preorders while also selling units from the trucks.
We don't know why that's the case behind the scenes. I doubt it's as simple as "eh, let's not fulfill some of them so we have truck stock". It just isn't a good look regardless.

No problem. It runs off USB power, so any USB adapter should work (including the USB port on your TV, if it has one).

Walmart.com still shows my order arriving by 10/05. But they haven't charged my CC yet. Is this a sign of the backorder?
Odds are high. My order was shown as arriving by 9/29, so I'm guessing their system is slowing crawling through the orders to send the emails out.

Just got mine from the treasure truck in NYC. Didn't even have to try.
Do you mean American FFIII?
Because FFIV aka American FFII is not on the SNES classic.

Got one from the Treasure Truck in ATL, will pick it up on the way home from work.
Just cancelled my walmart preorder and would've cancelled my amazon uk order but its already on the way. Will probably just sell the UK one or give it to my brother for Xmas.

Yeah, I was just looking at that on a whim now.
I'm about to go pick up my GameStop preorder but there's been no update on my Walmart preorder, which is my mom's Christmas present, so I was wondering if it'd be easy to go grab one from there for her. But it seems like beyond catching a train into the city I'd have to mess with Silver Line and it's probably not worth the hassle.
If I hadn't taken the day off (and so would already be in the city... though actually we work from home on Fridays so never mind), I'd probably have gone for it, though.

keep your strippers out of my American football
It will be there from the hours of 12-8.
It will Be parked there that whole time.
This more so than usual. And a Friday to boot.
Thinking about driving there to pick it up but then I realized the parking situation in the Seaport area.
The walk from State St isn't bad.
Youll be fine, they have literal truck fulls. You might miss mario though.

Walked into Target right at open and the guy was pulling out a second box of the things. Feels good to get one after all the pre-order nonsense.
I'm in the same boat. Someone on the previous page said that they just got a Walmart tracking # and that it's arriving Monday.

In retrospect I should have held out for the treasure truck in LA, instead of doing the midnight Walmart release. I really didnt think they would sell them on the truck on launch day due to all the pre-orders.
Sorry to those who are having issues with Amazon.

Just did the same thing. Walked into Target, got one, left. No fuss.

Had my first go on it. Some nice options, nice UI. Controller takes some getting used to and using a dpad to navigate again. Had a quick go of Yoshi and Mario RPG too.
A huge oversight is not being able to get back to the home screen on the controller. And of course ridiculously short cables. This actually makes the experience a bit frustrating especially in this day and age. Its a negative that could have been easily fixed and if Nintendo didnt cheap out.
Other than that its a Snes in a teeny tiny box and a neat little package, marred by cool features that are held back by a silly decision not to be able to easily revert to the home menu.

Oh sweet. Thanks guys! Guess I'm cancelling my 2nd Wal-Mart order.

Months of stress (sort of, I wasn't THAT desperate) for nothing!
Sounds like the authentic SNES experience to me

Best Buy is pulling some shady stuff, lol.
As I posted earlier, the box for my SNES was cut open by a box cutter. I knew I'd probably strike out but I called the store. They didn't answer the phone so it transferred me to the main customer service center. I explained what happened and the operator was so rude and dismissive, I got pissed and said I wanted to complain. I fully expected them to say they didn't have them and I'd have to check back to exchange, but she was incredibly rude and insulting. So after saying I want to complain, she connects me with the store manager somehow. He asks if I can get there today, and I say I'll be there in 10 minutes. I go in and he gets me one from the back, like it was nothing.
I normally would have thought that they were keeping some for cases like mine, but they weren't because they initially said they had none. Then as I'm waiting, I see some guy come in and whisper sweet nothings into a girls ear. She goes in back, and comes out with a bag all secretive, and just hands it off to him. I mean it's possible that she bought it for him or something, but man, it just looked off.
tl;dr: Customer service said store didn't have them. Cool manager got me one. Best Buy potentially not selling all units.

A Target in Dallas got close to 100 units, 40 people in line before open. They gave us a limit of 2. I was surprised but bought both. This was 100 times better than the NES Classic launch/released window.

If it is anything like the NES, you will be able to drop a patch on it for a button combo reset to home. Hakchi sounds like it is almost certainly going to be patched over.

I always feel North Cincy is a HOT area for game enthusiasts. Anytime anything of note hits stores, everywhere gets wiped immediately. This thing is gone. Lol

Instantly sold out all around me. I mean, people waiting in line since yesterday. And most stores got around 40 average, which makes it hard to just walk in and get one. And yea, there's more stock than the nes, but probably not much more. I'm sure more people got turned away than those that walked away with one.
