I don't know for sure, but since PC and TV USB ports work, I'd say the chances are good.

I've read on other posts in various threads on NeoGAF that:
1) (at least the US version) comes with an AC adapter.
2) You can plug it into any USB port and it should power the thing.
I was thinking of doing the same thing actually. You could try your TV's USB port also (if it has one) or a USB -> AC adapter.

Man I bought this for my GF as a gift and even SHE wants me to resell the thing. Crazy this thing is that hot...

Man I underestimated demand for this thing. Like I knew Nintendo probably wouldn't ship Wii U number of units but figured people would pick it up as an odd curiosity and not like Xbox 360-launch style camping out and shit.
In hindsight I'm super fortunate that Target preorder in the tiny window I had paid off.

Haha yeah. I'm amazed they didn't sell out at the midnight launch. They must have had a zillion of them. It looked like they had about 50 left when I got there. They could have had more in the back though.

So is anybody noticing the noise channel emulation issues?

Seriously though I hope Nintendo gets a lot more of these out within the next few months

LOL on the new Cinemassacre video talking about the NES Classic they said their local game store had ordered 90 NES Minis and received two

What's exactly wrong with this? I've played Castlevania for about an hour and haven't heard a thing wrong. Well except for when resetting that the pitch seems to slightly increase.

People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.
I was incredibly lucky to have a good friend snag me one. It was out of stock in the major videogame branches here but there was 2 left in a Toys-R-Us branch. A guy behind the line kinda got mad at him coz he was supposed to buy the other one but my friend bought 2 systems (1 for him, 1 for me).
It was the EU version though. Is the EU version just as in demand as the US version?

I could probably go to the flea market and buy all of cartridges cheaper.

Frank Cifaldi said the sound is noticeably off to him and he's well familiar with NES and emulation of it including Wii U and community software.

His cred is much lessened after Megaman Legacy Collection. I'll listen for myself when I can get one without hacking amazon.

It's identical hardware. Just the packaging is different. So I assume yes.
Can't say I've noticed anything myself.
If you have a Wii Classic Controller you can use the Home button to reset the system.

I'm by no means an expert on emulation but really enjoyed my time with this today. Colour is so much better than the washed out wii versions. I like the whole interface as well, though it's annoying to have to go to the system to reset it. Feels like it should be on the controller
$500? I sure hope no one rewards this bullshit by paying that.

I tried and failed to snag one on Amazon today. Guess I''ll just stick with RetroPie.

The worst part is after every retailer has done their first initial batch, and now any batches after that seem to mostly go up at random, and are unannounced.
I don't think I have any hope in the world of getting one.
Once they sell one, they have no reason to get people to hang onto them. Games aren't being released for them post-launch (unless I'm mistaken?). Nothing matters for these beyond initial sales.

This thing's a toy, not a console. They could release a SNES version alongside the Switch, and people would still buy both. They're treating this more like Amiibos so far.

FWIW he's specifically talking about the noise oscillator not all sound.

My neighborhood game shop here in Taipei has the Japanese Famicom one.
It's $100 though.
Not really interested, but maybe someone in the west might be?
I'd be willing to trade it for the NA one.

Double Dragon 1 isn't multiplayer, right? Shame about that since the soundtrack is so nostalgic for me. DD2 not so much.
Same for Contra.

All the cartridges?
Maybe like 20 years ago.
I haven't looked at price of an NES but I'd assume even the cost of the console is more expensive.
Conkerkid11

Absolutely not.
Maybe cheaper than it's going for on Ebay, not $60 is a fantastic asking price for the hardware and 30 games.

I got one from Amazon, plus a controller, today was a good day for me...

Had no intention of buying this, but all the hype and people scrambling to pick it up caused me to walk into an EB and pick it up. Now I'm kind of tempted to sell it considering how much it's going for.

Are these things *really* selling for $250-$300, or are these bids coming from scamsters?
in case anyone cares about the best at these games are doing a marathon at the moment here

Sorry if this is derailing the topic, but is there a good walkthrough or guide for Final Fantasy? I'm playing a bit of it but I never got used to magic being limited.

Haha I attempted the game earlier. Went straight from the castle to the north west against the prince and got owned. I thought we were meant to die kinda like link gets leveled by ganondorf in OoT. Man was I wrong, it was game over right away. Didn't know I could enter the village by the castle first time. Now I'm having fun with it.
By who if you don't mind me asking? Just curious if Nintendo/Distros were saying this. Some other people had posted (I think in Australia?) that their retailer was not planning to get more until early December.
If Nintendo underestimated demand there should be a gap between launch and when they ramp up production again I'd think. Unless they already started ramping back up before launch. This feels just like the Wiis launch...

Anyone know whats the deal with the wireless controller by nyko
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M7YDB97/?tag=neogaf0e-20
It says won't ship till Dec 16th. I bought one classic as a x-mas gift for a close relative, if the wireless won't arrive by then or is junk then I'll probably just buy an extension cable or two instead.

Region 200, we were told limited inventory shipments weekly for the rest of Q4... trying to secure additional inventory and the item will still be featured in three upcoming ads with disclaimer that while advertised we can't guarantee any stock lol

Look at any YouTube video of the game and see if it matches what you're seeing. That's just what Mario 3 looks like. If it's been ages since you've played it, you probably just didn't remember it.
EDIT: It has something to do with the way Mario 3 loaded and streamed things I think. That far side of the screen wasn't viewable in most CRT screens at the time, so I think the devs used it as a means of handling sprite loading/unloading but now with ROMs and that no longer being hidden, you can see the odd garbage on the edge of the screen. Don't quote me specifically, I just think it had something to do with that. I know a lot of late NES games did something similar.
