Wow. I forgot when the controversial thing about NES Classic was the A/C adapter. What quaint days those were.

Who's making the SNES Classic "how to get one" megatread?
The EUR model will have the superior, colored buttons.Import from Europe when preorders open will probably be the answer if it's like last time.
The difference being, unlike with the NES, the NTSC and EUR models will likely differ.

VICTORY!!!
They both look great together!
I was debating on heading out this morning at around 5AM but when I finally pushed myself to do it, there was NO ONE at best buy! Around 6:30 was when some scalpers showed up and made time go by as I heard their stories of how many they sold.
Around 8,there were 8 of us in line when they finally started handing out tickets and said they only had 8 so everyone was lucky!!
I bought and use this. It adds 6'. Have no complaints.Sorry to bump this thread, but not sure where else to ask it:
Any recommendations on an extension cable for the NES Classic controller?

I bought this 10 foot one. No complaints, and it's cheaper than the one at best buy.

So regarding all the comments and general sentiment that Nintendo is anti-consumer, or they don't want money, etc etc. I present an alternate theory.
My wife is Japanese,and according to her, Japanese companies make limited run products literally all the time, and across various different industries. Limited run potato chip flavors, toys, etc. The reason they do this is literally just to make news headlines, and build brand awareness and discussion.so I guess you could say that makes her an expert in honor and shame
Consider then that Nintendo started as a card company, and pretty much have the business philosophy of a toy company, rather than an electronics company. We may not like it, especially if you didn't manage to get one, but it definitely makes sense from that perspective. The Classic was never intended to make huge profits- they certainly could have allowed you to buy extra games if that was the case, or charged even more than $60. It was always about consumer awareness, and in that they succeeded.

Lol Newegg has some in stock but are selling them for $299.
picked up a famicom classic while in hong kong for 713 HKD Had quite a few chinese clones over there too some of them had 150+ games on them.
EDIT
Some sellers also had the US and EU versions in stock at over 1000HKD.
Why are the Famicoms only going for about $100 UDS, whereas the NES is selling for $200+??

Better play it before your kid eats it!Oh shit, son!
There's still hope! Who would have thought I'd find this at 19:30 in my local Sainsbury's
It was the only one, but it means there will be some left out there (and I'm not talking the £150-£200 in CEX, either)

Anyone know if the European NES Classic controller will work on a North American NES Classic system? I bought the controller on Amazon (not realizing what version it was) and would rather not open it if it's not going to work.

PC Engine and Tubographx had different controller ports so there was a physical region lock there. As for firmware-based region locks, there's the WiiU gamepad.It should work. When have controllers ever been region locked?
Are the NES Classic controllers from europe the exact same ones the US nintendo mini uses? I'm not dropping $200 plus on a US if I can get a UK for a much lower price that looks like the US one.

Yes.
How much are the European ones going for?
Hopes for what? It was discontinued months ago, there's nowhere to go except up with the price.Wow, thanks for bumping this thread and getting my hopes up :-(
That feel when you pay a scalper 68 for an original NES Mini controller and they mail it from the US to Europe using a fucking bubble envelope.
I can't even....
Luckily I bought via Amazon so I just sent the seller an e-mail asking for a return/refund and hope that Amazon will back me up here :/.
