Is the carrying case available somewhere?

I see a link for it here, but it doesn't ships until next week.

where has bubble bobble been all my life

it's so glorious

If you like it, get Bubble Symphony on Saturn.

 

[CrashPrime]

Why would you want/need a carrying case? Is this something people would bring to a friends house?

I plan on bringing it to family's houses for the holidays for my siblings and our kids to enjoy. But it's so small and portable already I don't need a case.

If someone can get roms working on this thing with the same UI it will be the best £50 I ever spent

If this happens I will actually buy one

I'd get ROMs of all my carts and maybe finally retire my original NES.

These Famicom Mini cases are neat too.

I wish these were available in the UK.

 

[SumptuousLemur]

Anyone else have issue with The Edge Joystick?

 

[PAULINK]

Some pics of the Fami version

The Famicom Mini Classic box is identical in size to the NES Mini Classic box


Controller has identically sized buttons and dpad as a Game Boy Micro


Original and baby!

Wow, why did they go down this route and make the controllers so small?

Wow, why did they go down this route and make the controllers so small?

So they can fit on the sides of the tiny Famicom like the original

I held the controllers - they're actually really cool, especially if you're used to the micro.

I love that case. Will order it when it comes to Amazon.ca.

 

[BluePikmin11]

Ninja Gaiden is my new favorite NES game, I absolutely love the difficulty and precision required to beat stages. I personally think the boss stages are pretty easy, but it's a nice way to relax after going thru difficulty hell with the stages.

It's one of the top 2 or 3 most underrated games ever IMO....

 

[Credo]

Guys, it's showing up as available under the Gamestop bundle: http://www.nowinstock.net/videogaming/consoles/nesclassicmini/

 

[Toth]

I ordered mine from Best Buy on the 11th and with regular shipping. It is supposed to be here by Friday but it still says "Preparing" as of today. I have received no emails about any delay on it and I have no idea how to contact BB support. What is going on....

Gone

 

[Mrmask]

I just came back from a pokemon go walk and it goes back up

This seems never ending.

 

[Dartastic]

Wasn't it supposed to be in stock at Wal-Mart like, now?

 

[Lasthope106]

I'm starting to think that initial twit was a fake.

 

[kaskade]

It was, not sure what's going on. I don't know how confirmed the source was for that though.

 

[MadClacker]

Even if Walmart did have it, I'm showing it listed for $199.99. Seriously?

The source is their own website!

3rd party

It was a screenshot. I didn't see the announcement in the page.

Nintendo NY ‏@NintendoNYC 24h24 hours ago
The #NESClassicEdition has just sold out at #NintendoNYC

 

[Toki767]

Their Twitter doesn't seem to be aware they they advertised the NES Classic.

 

[Illusive_Juan]

It was a screenshot. I didn't see the announcement in the page.

It's the 2nd item on the rotating banner: https://www.walmart.com/cp/video-games/2636

 

[Boke1879]

Yea I'm not going to keep refreshing a page. Hopefully by next week or before Christmas Nintendo gets their act together in regards to this stuff.

 

[Dartastic]

Either it never went up or it was gone in... seconds. Literally. I'm going with the former.

 

[Lasthope106]

It's the 2nd item on the rotating banner: https://www.walmart.com/cp/video-games/2636

Cool. Well at least some people lucked out. Hopefully. I already have mine and was keeping my eye on a 2nd controller.

 

[JimJamJones]

I feel like if I give up, it'll immediately go on sale and I'll miss out again

Spoiler

thank you TRU for cancelling my order, btw.

You would want to call 1-888-bestbuy for this. The store can't help you. But really, i doubt they can do anything..probably best to be patient.

 

[Lasthope106]

Ah shit. The controller was in stock for a bit. I missed it for bitching here lol

 

[PorygonVandal]

Now it appears at 499.99 xD

Damn it Walmart

 

[GhaleonEB]

Bummer about the availability, but I'll just wait until they're available from Nintendo (via Amazon) after the holidays. I've waited this long to own an NES, I can wait a bit more.

 

[kaskade]

I don't know if the console ever actually went up. I hope I can snag one at some point. My girlfriend really wants one and I wanted to get her one for Christmas.

 

[Boke1879]

I still don't understand why Nintendo refuse to just go along with the norm when it comes to this stuff. I'm under the impression you couldn't even preorder these things. Now that makes no damn sense.

I think it just went up and it's sold out lol

 

[x3sphere]

Controller went up on Wal-mart but it doesn't seem like the console did

 

[JimJamJones]

This is amiibos all over again.

 

[Dartastic]

Same.

IT'S UP - AND IT'S GONE FUCK

 

[Illusive_Juan]

It's now showing as 59.88 sold and shipped by Walmart!

Out of stock

 

[Toki767]

Walmart page showing $59.88 now. But out of stock. So maybe they had like 1 in stock and someone already got it.

 

[JPBrowncoat]

Dammit. I left the page cause I figure it wasn't gonna happen. Came in time to add to cart but it's gone again.

 

[JimJamJones]

Button appeared but wouldn't work.

 

[Lasthope106]

bahahaha - I had one on the checkout.

 

[Dartastic]

bahahaha - I had one on the checkout.

I had one in my cart too and it wouldn't let me check out. FUCK. How the hell can they go out of stock that fast?!?!?!

 

[Violence Jack]

I'm a bit behind on the thread, but did someone already post this?

NES Classic Edition will be available for a few minutes each day through November 18 on Walmart’s website

 

[x3sphere]

Just went up, I got one
