Thx, didn't know those existed. Might order them.
Still don't understand why the cables are so short though? Does Nintendo really think people sit 4.5 ft away from their TV?

Anyone who doesn't enjoy Yoshi's Island has no soul.
I went to Best Buy in Northgate, Seattle around 10AM this morning. There were probably 100+ people in line but everyone was given a ticket and got one.
When I walked in around 10AM they still had a few more tickets to give out, and by the time I got to the front of the line there were another 50+ people behind me - but many of them could have picked up a ticket earlier.
Meanwhile, the Target right next to the Best Buy was out of stock hours earlier.
Point is - seems like stock levels are far higher this time around than with the NES Classic! Hopefully they re-stock a lot too throughout the next many months. I hope the value drops like a rock for scalpers.

Agreed. The overseas models look like a white noise machine or humidifier or something.

It's because in the end, they're still just plugs that go into a Wiimote, which is wireless itself, so length is of no concern.
Yeah, I know.

My bedroom is small enough that a longer cable wouldn't even do me any good, lol. I play on a 20 inch screen.

You are in luck, for you can buy this very handsome case on Amazon:
Well that's the thing, I can't. That one seems to be available in the US only, which makes sense as it has the purple design elements.
I got these too for the same reason, they work great.
To be fair, people are only shitting on the design and that's because it's awful compared to the JP/EU versions.

Eh ... worse case scenario, scalpers sell it for what they paid for. Value will skyrocket again once they end production next year.
Damn. Hope you can find one elsewhere sooner.
I wonder why people get extension cables for the controllers instead of getting longer cables for the HDMI since you use the reset button so often.

The Switch and Blu Ray player use up my HDMIs so mine is going right into my monitor I sit right in front of.

Lmao, not a bad idea.
I've already got it as far from the TV as I can just sitting in the middle of the living room. Pretty sure this was the same way I played GameCube games.

Yeah I either play in front of a monitor or with a projector - the projector is in a table right in front of me.
Why can't people just accept that people have nostalgia towards the US model

That amazon response makes me worry for restocks going forward.
I know Target has been telling people they restock on Friday, but Target is also likely holding back stock to encourage people to come into the store again.

Thats so dumb they prioritized truck prime members instead of fulfilling their preorder obligations.

Looks like I'm probably wrong. I thought the Samsung fast chargers pushed some extra voltage or the like. Maybe I'm thinking of the earlier ones. I only found anecdotal evidence of fast chargers wreaking havoc.

Can't tell if sarcasm ...
I would definitely prefer a case in the same style as the RDS NESC case.

I can't wait. I did have to substitute a longer HDMI anyway since the one included is pretty short. Nintendo loves their short cords.
Is there really no way to fast forward in this thing? I thought this device would be my definitive SNES RPG machine, but that's kind of a dealbreaker.

Jesus, was Star Fox considered good at the time? This game feels borderline unplayable.

My store originally had 75, they sold 42 today and are saving the rest for the Sunday ad.

Seems you can do it with a Wii Classic Controller, according to Game Explain.
Are there other controllers with a home button that could work? Could you also plug said controller into player 2 (so you can keep using the standard SNES controller)?
It's janky as hell but I've been playing it a lot recently between the lead up to the SNES Classic and now, and I still enjoy it. I'd be interested to hear if anyone trying it for the first time likes it, or if it's all up to nostalgia now.
(It's also one of the few games I think I've actually gotten better at as I get older
)mine did that including the no charge but the next day updated. got mine today original delivery was october 5 then changed to september 30 but delivered today.
