Ha, sorry. The 7800 wasn't that bad of a console.

Yeah Im pretty sure I did ask for a Nintendo but I got the 7800 lol. I didnt want to make my parents feel bad so I just played with it and didnt say anything. I still have it to this day.

 

[mightynine]

Well, at least my Famicom Mini came in.

Any bets on what Amazon's total allocation for today's batch is?

I'm predicting that there's going to be a 3-5 second window to grab these on Amazon before it's all done. Basically, you have to hit F5 at the perfect fucking time and then fly through the checkout process

a bot would be your best bet

 

[LegendOfFalcon]

I'm at the Amazon page ready to hit order. I read somewhere that the home button on the wii classic controller will function the same as the physical reset button on the NES to return you to the main menu, can anyone confirm that's true?

In most situations I'd call you a liar but not today.

Yes

More than 1.

 

[bluehat9]

Is there an amazon page for just the controller?

Namely?

 

[sixteen-bit]

I need this as well.

 

[LegendOfFalcon]

Yes

Awesome! So then that means if you get one of the wireless controllers that has a home button, you should be able to do everything besides power it on/off from the couch and keep the NES Classic by the TV?

For example I'm thinking of ordering this wireless controller: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M34DLXD/?tag=neogaf0e-20

 

[rjinaz]

Controller:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01JT77EDK/?tag=neogaf0e-20

It used to go to the console page.

 

[Kyrios]

Controller:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01JT77EDK/?tag=neogaf0e-20

It used to go to the console page.

"26 new from $295.00"

Jesus Christ...

 

[PAULINK]

"26 new from $295.00"

Jesus Christ...

those prices are for the console + controller.

Thanks.

Even still...

"Jesus Christ..."

 

[friskykillface]

15 minutes until doom

 

[Madridy]

what kind of ac adapter does it have?

is it international? (100-240v ac) or US (110V)

please someone answer me quick!

 

[Kyrios]

those prices are for the console + controller.

Some just say "brand new, sealed" though while others specify if you get the system with it. I guess it's implied?

 

[Chase17]

welp,

let's see how this goes

 

[Sephzilla]

 

[OnkelC]

what kind of ac adapter does it have?

is it international? (100-240v ac) or US (110V)

please someone answer me quick!

at least in EU, no AC adapter is provided.

 

[Muppet of a Man]

got 1 at gamestop this morning. i was 12 in line out of 16 that got one. they had 2 extra controllers for sale. didnt get one obviously, but i had a wii classic controller lying around that will work as a second controller. very happy with it. awesome little device for the price.

 

[Kadin]

I'm sure this info is buried somewhere in this thread but was it confirmed by Nintendo one way or the other if this is in fact a limited release or something they plan to produce into next year? Went out to 5 stores this morning to find one for my dad with zero luck. He said we'll just wait until Jan/Feb but I'm starting to think that might not pan out.

 

[r3n4ud]

maybe they really like savestates

Everdrives have save states

On the Amazon page it says:

Please note, we have very limited quantities of this item, however we will be receiving additional quantities over the coming weeks. Demand is expected to be very high, and there's no guarantee that it will remain in stock for long. We will announce when additional inventory becomes available.

 

[Madridy]

So is it written what voltage does the internal PSU use?
maybe somewhere under or on the back

 

[Muppet of a Man]

yeah, nintendo are assholes for this type of launch. they knew demand would be high, but they still pulled this shit.

 

[Sephzilla]

My serious answer is that I expect Amazon to have roughly 50 of these things in stock.

I expect the Switch to be no different. Get ready for barren shelves for months until Nintendo conveniently has enough stock for Christmas

 

[sixteen-bit]

You learn something new everyday.

Maybe I can finally "beat" Metroid, lol

 

[antibolo]

I pre-ordered my Wii U so I assume the Switch will be pre-orderable as well.

 

[Toth]

My BB order still says Preparing.... No email about any delay.

 

[Minions]

Amazon is likely treated the same way as Target or Walmart is. That means they could have thousands to sell. Considering they are one of the retailers listed on the main site also leads me to believe they wouldn't only have a handful.

That said, if ordering lasts more than a minute I would be surprised. Amazon listed the time they will go live, and everyone who doesn't/hasn't landed a console is going to be spamming the website like black friday deals.

 

[friskykillface]

I'd say Amazon has about 100-1000 in stock

L train ready to pick up more people

 

[antibolo]

Everdrives have save states

Uh no most of them don't. None of those I own do.

 

[RedRumy3]

same =/ going to try for amazon as well just in case

 

[rjinaz]

Some just say "brand new, sealed" though while others specify if you get the system with it. I guess it's implied?

It used to be the console page. Since resellers can't list right now on the actual page they are just doing it on the controller page.

So these all should be for the console. That said, hopefully people email the seller and ask before shipped.

 

[SystemUser]

I thought that USB was always 5 volts and the Amps change.

The Yeezys of console releases.

I hope your right. But considering Amiibos flew off the shelves in a fraction of a second, I'm not expecting much here

10 more minutes! Get you F5 keys ready ladies and gentlemen

 

[Niter]

Only 9min left! I'm nervous!

I wouldn't worry. Nintendo seems to say they'll be around

the controller isnt cordless?

Ahhh okay, now it makes total sense, thanks!

 

[r3n4ud]

Uh no most of them don't. None of those I own do.

Well, my Everdrive for nes has save states. Dunno about the other consoles.

 

[Kadin]

With Amazon, once you have it in your basket is it held or can it be taken if you don't process the order fast enough?

I wouldn't worry. Nintendo seems to say they'll be around

https://twitter.com/NintendoAmerica/status/797124398813626372

That's good to see, thanks!

 

[supermarioworldE]

Glad to say I finally got this neat mini console. Had to wait at a local Gamestop here in Queens, NY for 3 hours until opening (lines didn't start showing until the second hour), but Im glad it's over. Sadly, there were only 9 available in the store with no extra controllers. Every shopper past the 9th got a chance to order one to arrive at a later time when Gamestop got them, at least. The employees and customers were equal levels of rude and frustrated. It really is a shame that such a limited supply from Nintendo is giving so many people a hard time. But hopefully they will make more of these available in the next few months.
