At this point, they are harder to find than Switches. I actually was in GameStop today and they had Switches available!
I think this has always been the case

Yes, I'm using the old Wii pro controller so that will work. The plan was to mod it after I got through a few games but I'll accelerate the schedule just for that.Don't know about the extension cords but I'd imagine they'd work...
If you're using a Wii Classic Controller of any kind, you can press the Home button to go to the menu and if you're soft-modding your NES you can map a "Menu" button to a button combination. The default is down and select (-) but you can change it to something else you would like.
Did they get this working? At launch it didn't work with most of the games on the classic.

OK so I haven't use Hackchi2 on my NES classic yet but I was poking around in the UI and it wasn't clear to me where you can change the button mapping for issuing a reset from the controller.
Is this something that shows up after you hack it and then use the NES classic?
Go into Settings -> Controller Hacks -> check "Use button combination to reset". This will enable the default Down + Select combination for the menu. If you want to change it to something else or make it more complex, go Controller Hacks -> select reset button combination.
After you have your settings taken care of, install your mods and then the button combination should work mid-play. For safety's sake to prevent accidental activation, you have to hold the buttons down for two seconds. Doesn't have to be at the same time either so you can hold Select and then start holding Down to activate.

Yep!Yep, they even offered dongles that made them work for original purchasers. Fantastic parts for the price.
Walmart got a massive shipment today locally. Every store got 20+ and a ton of NES classics. I would call and check because people on the east coast are reporting the same. It seems shipments are getting bumped on a weekly basis now.
Gaffer reporting restocks @ Walmart:
I went to Toys "R" Us about 6 pm yesterday and they had one NES Classic on the shelf. I took a picture and was about to tweet saying I saw my first in-store sighting, and literally as I'm typing my tweet an employee comes and gets it and hands it to a customer.
I keep wondering if Nintendo would make a "Vol. 2" of the NES Classic because I can think of a dozen or so games I'd love on this thing that are missing, but I feel like a Vol 2. would need a bunch of repeats since the original has so many of the classics on there. Hmm.
Nintendo per se hasn't endorsed or recommended hacking them.Modding/Hacking is so so easy, a Volume 2 isn't necessary. If you know to plug in a USB cord to a computer, you can "hack" any NES game you want to your system. Yup, it's that easy.

I think a SNES Classic would be much more likely than an NES Classic v2.
Snes classic now thank you

thanks for reminding meDid Nintendo ever make extra controllers? The ones on Amazon have crazy markups for a $10 item.
I honestly don't think so.Did Nintendo ever make extra controllers? The ones on Amazon have crazy markups for a $10 item.
HOLY SHIT! I FINALLY FOUND ONE TODAY!
I was starting to think these things didn't really exist and it was a big conspiracy. I checked Brick Seek last night and a Wal-Mart about a hour away was listed as having NINE(!) in stock. When I got up this morning, I checked and it was down to five. When I got there, they had two on the shelf. I got both of them: one for me and one for my brother-in-law. He's been crazy about the thing ever since it was announced. He's been dying to get one. I went everywhere looking for one around Christmas to try to get him one for Christmas, but never could find one. Now I finally found one each for both of us.
Finally got a Classic! Checked Brickseek this morning and it said my local target had a few, unfortunately I couldn't make it to opening, but I called at 9 and the guy said he had some. Just got there and he said I was the first he sold today. They only got 3 I think. Crazy that that's all they're shipping.
Decided to check BS as well and one of the Target's near my work had 5. Pulled up and there were 3 other people in line and sure enough, they had 5! Finally got one! Now to figure out what accessories to get. Definitely need a controller extension. Are all made equal or is there one that is more preferred?
I can't see another mini console coming now really. They don't want to cannibalise the Switch this holidays. I guess it's in another market segment, but they're trying to position the Switch as the 'SNES reborn' (Multiplayer out of the box, Bomberman, Street Fighter II, Mario Kart etc).I think a SNES Classic would be much more likely than an NES Classic v2.

Maybe in a few years?
So how accurate is this Brickseek site?

I know I'm late, but yes you can chain extensions together. (I have a 6 and 10 ft ones together)I haven't looked but can I plug two extensions Daisy chain style?
Also is there a way to get to the main menu aside from pressing the reset button?
Whenever I see this topic I'm still upset I've never seen one in the wild lol.
Damn Nintendo....

What's the actual cable you need to modify / get to plug this thing in and flash a different set of games to it?
When I saw this thing I thought it would be perfect for my parents, especially my mom who learned how to turn on my gamecube and animal crossing save file just to play nes pinball, but then they didn't include it but put an rpg on there
total misunderstanding of the market imo, but now you can fix that, I've been watching it come back in stock but I cant seem to google fu what the actual cable is that you need to use?
