Got to say I don't trust a Nintendo rep statement without some previous proven history. I have not heard any reliable news that says the Classic is done after this last batch. I have heard about a SNES classic a few times though.

It isn't. I made a new thread about this a few days ago, and the store responsible for these rumors have apologized.

 

[Grechy34]

It's pretty shitty how Nintendo has handled this. Makes me wonder if the person in charge of their distribution just has any clue.

I managed to get one although feel terrible for the people who weren't able to pick one one up or those who had to pay the outlandish prices.

 

[Adam Prime]

Kinda shocked its still in stock.

How do you order one in NA? Probably a dumb question, but these are region free, choose your language?

 

[Purexed]

Just ordered an NES Classic off of Prime Now. SoCal area.

 

[Adam Prime]

HUUUNNGH I DID IT! Just ordered from amazon.de

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah!

EDIT: So I need a USB A cord to charge the thing?

 

[TrojanAg]

Thanks for the heads up! I finally got one! I'm shocked that there still was some available. I'm paying a little more than I would had I found one in the states ($82 after shipping) but better than giving my money to those piece of crap scalpers.

Same here! Real happy to get one.


So now, what's the best wireless controller out there?

 

[Zalman]

Holy crap. I got one. It says it's in stock on the 27th, but I got an order in.

 

[sphinx]

still available, which is very nice

Germany is the country that has had stock regularly appearing on its amazon page

scalpers there are so screwed, party is over

 

[Turnbl]

HUUUNNGH I DID IT! Just ordered from amazon.de

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah!

EDIT: So I need a USB A cord to charge the thing?

No, the EU version comes with the USB cable, just not the wall adapter plug.

But as the mini doesn't draw much power you can happily power it from most tv, pc, PS4 etc USB ports.

 

[Xbudz]

Got one! Thanks.


Ordered one of these for player 2. I have my original NES controllers ready to go

 

[neonglow]

I just ordered one. Surprising that it's been over 4 hours and still available. Hopefully this becomes a regular thing.

 

[Xbudz]

In stock at amazon.de

Aaaaand it's gone.

 

[Zalman]

That lasted for a surprisingly long time. I guess it's because of the time of the day.

 

[kami_sama]

Any way to get an email telling you when it's available directly from Amazon?

 

[Matrix]

sadly, nope

 

[Naked Snake]

Isn't the thing made in Germany? Maybe that's why.

Sign up on nowinstock.net and setup an alert (you can do it for different countries too).

 

[KeRaSh]

Since this thing can now play SNES games, how are people handling the controls?

 

[Naked Snake]

There is a thread for that where they are discussing exactly that.

 

[KeRaSh]

There is a thread for that where they are discussing exactly that.

Will ask there, thanks.

 

[Andyliini]

Well, looks like retailers in Finland just received a new batch of these machines, and suddenly I have two of them. Oh well, maybe I'll just gift the other one or something.

 

[Mafro]

Currently in stock online from Nintendo UK with mid-March delivery date https://store.nintendo.co.uk/ninten...ment-system/11352485.html#fr7gWb7x6XO0ZfzM.97

[Resistance100]

Amazon really are taking there time dispatching it. Still says it will get to me by tomorrow mind

 

[SuperCambot]

I had one pre-ordered at Target, but they cancelled it a week before it shipped because I hadn't updated my expired credit card on file.

That still haunts my dreams to this day.

 

[Robin64]

I'm wondering if they took orders before they even had stock.

 

[Resistance100]

I'm wondering if they took orders before they even had stock.

That's what I'm hoping it says delivered tomorrow the latest but still not been dispatched. Not that it matters too much as at work all day tomorrow

 

[Adam Prime]

So is it possible to use two classic controllers? You have to take off the plastic piece I've read somewhere, does that work, or was it just a theory?

 

[Robin64]

That's what I'm hoping it says delivered tomorrow the latest but still not been dispatched. Not that it matters too much as at work all day tomorrow

Mine just got dispatched and is now arriving on Friday.

 

[TrojanAg]

What other controllers will work on the NES classic? I've heard that the Wii classic controller works but is that accurate?

 

[Robin64]

The NES Classic has the same ports for controllers as a Wii Remote. So basically anything that works in a Wii Remote works on this. That includes the NES Classic Controller, the Wii Classic Controller, the Wii Classic Controller Pro, and the Wii Super Nintendo Classic Controller.

 

[Resistance100]

Mine just got dispatched and is now arriving on Friday.

Same. Annoying that it's coming Friday

 

[Polioliolio]

There's a well reviewed seller with a brand new one on Amazon right now for 50.90

Almost threw it into the cart, but I'm not that into it. Figure I'd let you guys know.

 

[Lettuce]

looks like Argos In the UK had stock today, but sadly now sold out!

That's great to hear, thanks!

Is this the real deal?

 

[ICO_SotC]

I tried buying the $50.90 one, but it said it was out of stock once I went to pay, even though it allowed me to put it in my cart.

 

[Optimus Prime]

Just missed that one third-party seller on Amazon--even if it seemed kind of sketchy. Oh, well. Gotta keep checking.

 

[Turnbl]

Yes sure that works.

Clear plastic guard needs taken off for the port 1 controller because of space. You need a small tri-wing screwdriver to remove it.

 

[IronRinn]

Seems to be up on Amazon?

 

[perfectchaos007]

Seems to be up on Amazon?

There's no add to cart button...just "add to list"
edit: oh for Amazon prime only. Fuckers

 

[Imperial Hot]

Yeah, I just ordered one off of Amazon?

It's not going to show up, is it?

 

[PrioritySe7en]

Couldn't get one off Amazon in time apparently.

Edit: Nevermind the order went through! Sweet!

 

[Guevara]

Got one off Amazon!!

 

[Theandrin]

Seems to be up on Amazon?

I finally ordered one! The question now is will it ship?

 

[Makki]

Got one finally wooot wooooot!!!!

 

[clevbrowns94]

Just got one on Amazon. Makes me love Prime even more.

 

[IronRinn]

Yeah, I just ordered one off of Amazon?

It's not going to show up, is it?

Still up and limited to one per person, so I would think you are good to go.

 

[FallingEdge]

Scooped. Finally.

 

[BronsonLee]

Nice, I think I can resist this time around since I wasn't a big fan of it and selling it was a bit of a pain

Scooped. Finally.

NO
