Mod ur NES classic so you can play while you wait in line for Switch

http://www.digitaltrends.com/gaming/nes-classic-game-boy/

The mods are getting insane...

 

[Vaeghar]

Any idea where to buy additional controllers in Canada? Haven't seen any since launch. :/

My local Shoppers Drug Mart just got Nyko Miniboss wireless NES controllers and 6 foot extension cables.

Edit: London Drugs also apparently carries the Miniboss controllers.

Playing through the first Zelda and ninja gaiden on this makes me wonder how I ever got by without save states as a kid

 

[hayejin]

Did anyone get their BB order from last week shipped?

 

[TransTrender]

I'm completely baffled I haven't seen these for sale or in stock on Amazon/BestBuy/Target/Walmart for weeks. Seriously, how can their production be so limited?

Same here. I'd like to buy one, but Nintendo won't let me. :/

 

[Garryk]

What's up with the controller restocks? I got a 2nd NES before I can find another OEM controller.

 

[The Futurist]

Did anyone get their BB order from last week shipped?

Yeah. Myself and three people I know that ordered it last week.

One was delivered today, the rest of us got tracking numbers.

While the systems got a restock, the controllers never did.

Mine is still preparing, but my estimated delivery date is Wednesday so I wouldn't expect it to ship until later today or even tomorrow.

Yeah that's what mine is showing too.

 

[sixteen-bit]

That's a shame considering the amount of 2 player games on this (not to mention the added value of use as a Wii or WiiU VC controller for NES, SMS, and TG16 games).

Did yours ship? My BB order is still stuck on Preparing.....

EDIT: NVM Just shipped

I'm absolutely flabbergasted about how Nintendo handled this part of it all.

 

[TheApatheticOne]

FINALLY scored one off Prime Now in Cincinnati this morning! Was going to post a heads up, but was sold out right after I got mine.

 

[hayejin]

One avail in OC....Keep refreshing...

 

[Guevara]

Every NES Classic Wireless Controller has bad reviews and complaints about dropping connections.

Any one you'd recommend?

Mine is on track to be delivered Saturday

 

[swarley64]

How long did it take Nintendo to get its shit together back when there were Wii shortages? I never thought it would be this bad...

 

[naitosan]

Seattle area has some in stock via Amazon NOW, grab it while you can. I grabbed one, finally!

EDIT: appears it's out of stock.

 

[TheMan]

This fucking thing is still scarce? Redick.

 

[Gamecocks625]

Still can't get over how nice Pixel Perfect mode looks. Also that last dungeon in Zelda 1 is no joke. Ugh.

 

[Amory]

This fucking thing is still scarce? Redick.

I gave up. Sucks, but screw Nintendo. They're a weird company, and you have to take the good with the bad, but they allowed the scalpers to take over this cool little product by never making enough of them. It was forgivable at first, not anymore.

Which is weird, because the profit margin on these things has to be sky high.

Thank you!

 

[MadClacker]

From the item page, listed under the controller:

"Not applicable for return on any products that were sold as part of a bundle, unless the bundle is returned complete and in sealed new condition."

So no.

Garbage. Oh well,

It's gone

 

[Calm Killer]

It's gone

It still shows as in stock on zoolert.

Edit, Just checked the link at gamestop and it shows as gone.

Says it's no longer available when you go to the cart.

I am wondering the same thing. Just gave a NES Classic to my dad for his birthday and couldn't believe how short the controller wire was. What are the best options?

 

[a Master Ninja]

I can't believe Nintendo has never produced any more official controllers since this thing launched. It's fucking nuts.

I'm sure Nintendo is very focused on the Switch right now, but have they said anything about the NES Classic lately? I'm starting to believe the rumors that this thing has been discontinued.

At this point, I suspect they'll do a relaunch this summer.

Just order an extension 2-pack from Amazon or Walmart or Best Buy, they're everywhere. I got two 10 ft extensions for like 12 bucks, I think.

Also get a Wii Classic Controller for your second controller, it's the best option. Also, hack the NES Classic for your dad. Put Sega, Super Nintendo, GBA , or the entire NES library on it, it'll blow his mind.

 

[Alcibiades]

Yup wouldn't be surprised to see $100+ Ebay prices going until at least March. Now that Christmas is over Nintendo must be worried that flooding the market could result in lots of unsold product.

Wish I'd been wrong about this. Everytime I go to Walmart or Target I check and still haven't seen one in the wild (south Texas here).

 

[swarley64]

Looks like they are increasing production:

NES Classic to me is just the Halo Master Chief collection all over again. Both showed so much promise of bringing back some of my favorite video game years and both failed miserably for me. Can't get a hold of the classic still. HMC was dead in the water with all those issues. In a perfect world...

 

[Bobby Roberts]

Been considering just getting a Famicom Mini imported (it'd still be cheaper in most cases) and just flashing it, but the controllers on that are even shorter and don't, I believe, have the option for extending the length?

Mod it by clipping the controller cable internally and splicing an extension cable so you can hook up classic controllers.

At least when you find one it won't be broken like MCC

I thought about doing that, but aren't the controllers on the Famicom Mini really tiny?

 

[Lupin the Third]

Cables are indeed short and controllers are indeed tiny. I would suggest doing the internal cable mod a couple posts above if you have the guts or know someone confident enough to do so.
