Forgot how frustrating Snow Barrel Blast is in DKC. Tearing my hair out again 20 years later

Been saying this since the NES classic. Even if Nintendo were more communicative about everything then we likely wouldn't be seeing such vitriol being thrown around at other people.

Exactly right. It's crazy that this still happens with them in 2017.

Super Punch Out! is still the bomb, my muscle memories still kick in with some opponents.

So many quality games.

yeah, love super punch out.

Y'know once you get past the terrible framerate and pop-in, the original Star Fox is a lot of fun! This is my first time ever playing it and I'm having a good time, though 64 blows it out of the water. I figured I would 100% this game before going to Star Fox 2.

Late update from yesterday’s Treasure Truck. This was at The Grove location in LA.

Pretty sure they didn’t go through all their stock.

 

[Yukinari]

man that's messed up. i didn't realize they had that much stock at these trucks.

I wish I could reach into that picture and get the SNES Classic I preordered from amazon that still has no expected delivery 💁

See that one in the third row from the left, about halfway towards the back?

That’s the one I preordered that hasn’t shipped yet lol.

 

[Raitosaito]

Months? What are you talking about? It started going up for pre-order in late August.

How am I supposed to plan for something that is unknown. Nintendo doesn't post when pre-orders go up ahead of time. They plop out of nowhere.

Guess I'm not a big enough fan to deserve one though, should have been stalking twitter all day during work and after to make sure i can get it exactly when it randomly pops up.

You can set mobile alerts for all of the retailers that sold these so you can be less then attentive. I did not stalk any sites, or stared at the screen non stop if that’s what you were implying. And as I’ve said these were sold until 1pm at most Best Buys on launch.

If complications occur at every junction of the process for you I apologize. I hate seeing anyone not get their mini console, but the item was always going to limited and times exclusive. Nintendo makes items to just meet demand, especially collector items; they have no intentions of this being a pick up and buy situation.

I don’t blame anyone, I just don’t feel like Nintendo or anyone else put huge obstacles in the way for the type of item it was.

My wife hasn’t been into video games in years. She wasn’t even aware of the SNESC until I brought it home. When she saw it and looked at the games on the box, she geeked out and asked to play Super Punch-Out. Nostalgia is a hell of a drug.

 

[Harbinger of War]

I'm convinced the rewind feature was put in place solely for Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts.

You weren't hardcore enough of a fan to go to the store.

And yes, Super Ghouls n Ghosts is fucking brutal.

 

[Mariner]

TBH, the information should be clear in the OP.

But the guy bailed. Great OT! /s

He got his US console “diss” in the OP. That’s all he cared about.

I avoided the Treasure Truck thread because I’m pretty sure this pic would have upset those who preordered . What one of the reps said that all unclaimed units would be returning to their warehouse. Hopefully that will help fulfill those preorders.

 

[Pancake Mix]

Can the PAL version be powered via USB?

Or any other notable difference between PAL and US consoles?

Yes.

The European/Australian release lacks an included AC adapter in the box. That's the only big difference other than the casing and colour, there's no other notable difference.

Edit: According to the OP, a poster in the NA version also.

 

[Weltall Zero]

A lot of people are making ridiculous statements simply because they were able to get one and others aren't. The "some people have jobs" comment, well yeah most of us have jobs but not everyone has a job. With that said just because you have a job and were able to get one (either waking up earlier or being available for the time being) doesn't mean that position is the correct position. There's people who work the graveyard shift and can't be there in time, people working double to make extra money, people who have kids to watch, people who literally can't do it. Somebody literally said that others "wanted it more", seriously? What kind of bullshit is that. Just because there's low stock and you're able to get one doesn't mean that it's acceptable, no, you just had a way to get it. The same can apply to other products which when you're at your job you won't be able to get while the others, who were working those shifts and watching those kids, would be able to get.

Overall at the end of the day the stock issue is the problem, not who has a job or who doesn't have a job. If the stock was correct we wouldn't be seeing this.

I'm seeing way more people blame other customers rather than the companies themselves lately. That's some foul shit. People aren't entitled because they're able to get a Classic when others aren't. We're all under Nintendo and these other corporations and playing by their rules. Go at the Game Master, not the other players.

While I think blaming people for having jobs and not being able to get one is bullshit, this post has crossed the first world problems horizon event. I was perfectly content with waiting a few months or years to get my hands on one; you've lived all your life without one and it's not like you're never going to get one. Take a chill pill, get some fucking perspective, stop acting like a spoiled 5 year old, and wait until Nintendo can make more of these.

Seriously, it's always the most trivial matters that bring out the worst in people.

Got mine (PAL) in today. It's great, but the length of the cables is a crime. The only way to play on my set up is by extending the range of the cables by fully using to length of the USB/HDMI cable on the SNES mini. Can't wait for the inevitable third party cable extensions.

They’re already available dude. They’re the same ones as the NES extenders.

Wait, what, the US version has an AC adapter?

When I got my NES Classic at the Atlanta Treasure Truck they had so many left over they were telling people to call their friends and let them know. lol And that was the NES! 1:10 stock of the SNES.

Serves Amazon right for not fulfilling their preorders first.

love hearing stuff like that.

 

[Xaero Gravity]

Yeah the version released in North America has it.

 

[ParityBit]

So Brickseek for the Target near my house went from sold out to limited supply, but still shows zero. Does that mean they may be restocking the system for the rumored sale tomorrow (Sunday)?

 

[Danielsan]

They’re already available dude. They’re the same ones as the NES extenders.

Awesome. Have to get on that ASAP. Still think it's ridiculous that they shipped this short, even after the NES Classic complaints.

 

[sirdudeoi]

My walmart order is still showing preparing. I'm really hoping I get it after all.

 

[NateDrake]

My Walmart order sits at preparing and Oct 3 arrival. Hope it updates sometime today.

My wife showed 0 interest till I brought it out of the box. She instantly started playing SMW

When I was a kid my father bought an SNES launch with F-Zero just out of the blue. My father hasn't touched games in years, but yesterday I brought it to my parents place and as soon as he saw F-Zero he begged to play lol.
Kinda wish I had kids so I could have replicated my experience as a kid xD

 

[suplex]

Yep mine is the same except Oct 4.

I asked CS about it and they assured me it would ship today or tomorrow, and gave me 10% off.

 

[Blues1990]

Earthbound remains a masterpiece.

While I like the game just fine, I never was brought into it's cult-like following of it being flawless.

 

[52club]

Either I've forgotten my SF II moves or Bison's special moves aren't working. Anyone had this issue?

 

[sotojuan]

Got Rhodox and Marshal rage moves in FFVI! Now to actually play the game.

 

[LOUD915]

I never understood the sentiment that DKC is hard...DKC2 on the other hand....

 

[Anoregon]

Lol damn, the GameStop I was going to check as a long shot doesn't exist anymore

 

[Yaboosh]

I never understood the sentiment that DKC is hard...DKC2 on the other hand....

I don't think either are particularly difficult. Harder than Mario games i suppose.

 

[Retro Edge]

Yeah the version released in North America has it.

Wow, strange. How about the "New 3DS" handhelds, has they ac adapters?

 

[Anoregon]

Yep mine is the same except Oct 4.

Yesterday they assured everyone it would ship by the end of the day, but here we are.

 

[Xaero Gravity]

Only one I purchased was the Majora's Mask one and it didn't come with an adapter.

 

[BluePigGanon]

Half of me wants to chat with them and see if I can get the 10% off too. The other half is afraid to ask and hear "oops cancelling your order, womp womp!"

 

[BFIB]

I wouldn't read too much into the limited description. Its interesting you say that though about the rumor of more tomorrow, I heard the same from a friend who has a brother who works at a local Target. He said their store got around 70, but only sold 35.

I might try to head up there in the morning before they open, its a short drive.

 

[Tron 2.0]

Does the SNES Classic Edition not come with a My Nintendo rewards code in North America?

Seems like a weird omission.

This one. Don't know if anyone's tested it with the SNES Classic yet but it should work.

That’s the one. It works once you update the firmware. Quick and painless. They got that update ready fast.
