anyone get the snes classic mini?
it was sorta easier to find than the nes classic.

yep got one, mainly because i wanted to use the controllers with my wii. I was looking into the club famicom snes pads a while back and they were going for about $50 so i thought i might as well get this instead lol
Mine is being delivered today but I won't be able to play it because I'm out of town this weekend.
I'm really only interested in the Controllers for Wii VC and SF2. Otherwise, I'd never buy something like this.

it always comes down to homebrew
yea, it's rough. This is one situation where game preservation or piracy (whatever you want to call it) actually feels like it is serving a legitimate purpose. I have no idea how it all works though.
I did. It's the ultimate double dip at this point, but hey, legit Star Fox 2 and SNES controllers for Contra and Castlevania Rebirth. Was Gradius Rebirth any good btw?

Strangely, it's becoming more necessary for these recent consoles (ps1, ps2, wii, etc.) faster than the old cartridge systems due to the disc and digital based media. funny how that's worked out.

looks like someone put Star Fox 2 on a SuperFX 2 dev cart already.

I thought the Star Fox 2 rom would be leaked quickly but didn't quite expect it to happen BEFORE the launch day!
I got one, and my wife randomly texted me saying she picked one up for me too!
I'm pumped to use the controllers on the Wii VC too -- not a bad deal seeing as the Club Nintendo SNES controllers regualrly sold for close to $100 each!

Honestly this si the only thing I want out of the SNES mini so it'd be nice if there is some other avenue of buying SF2 in the future.

Awesome.
I originally was going to get the NES classic too and had a pre order down but then there was this talk about why bother buying one when you can have a raspberry pi and so I listened and cancelled my pre order. A year later although I have the famicom classic I still regret cancelling that...
My SNES is still in the box I did take it out for a quick check to make sure everything was there but one thing that worries me is how durable are those L and R buttons as I remember them breaking on the originals quite easilly during the Street Fighter II era...

So wait... does the SNES Classic output in the right aspect ratio? It's not like I want one to actually play, just curious how they approached it.

You have an option for 4:3 with a CRT filter, 4:3 sharp, or pixel perfect 3X scaling which is like 8:7 or whatever

The news about the Wii VC has me again thinking about getting one and loading up on VC games. I actually don't own one and never have, so I have been thinking about looking to eBay for one that already has a bunch of games and then buying the rest I want. Found one for sale on eBay with 70 games on a 2 GB SD card. What's the file size situation with VC games? Are they bloated like most modern releases now? Is there any way to transfer the games onto another SD card if I wanted a newer/bigger card for posterity's sake?
It would be kinda nice to have a legit, well emulated library of classics I could easily take with me on family vacations in the future.

I got an snes Mini.
And it was about as hard as it was to get an nes last year.
Not that hard for me
And its an end of an era for the Wii store. That thing was so damn good. I bought so many games for virtual console. I hope they bring out Wiiware type games for disc like the Konami ones. Id double dip for those

The difference with the SNES Classic is that I've actually heard of people IRL getting one on launch day. Which is cool -- this is really not the sort of thing that should be hard to get ahold of.
I'm not going to use it, but I decided I kinda need to get one just as a piece of nerdy decor.

Almost forgot that the SNES classic was a thing. I might pick one up eventually if Reggie isn't a liar. Interested only for Starfox 2.

Thought it was amusing, at least my friend who isnt really into games bought a switch earlier this year. Hes not really feeling Zelda at all. Super fucking excited about the SNES Classic, though, and his first question was does it have Zelda?
Almost forgot it's that time of year again!
We need to get the ball rolling on that again. I haven't had the time to put it together though, since this is the first birthday I've had in awhile where I didn't have to work (gonna be out for awhile).
If anyone else wants to put a banner together and a thread, go for it. If not I'll try to get one together later tonight.

I took a quick shot of some random games and threw this together.
That'll work actually. I could just use the banner and put the thread together right at/around midnight if you want?
Time to play a Souls game for me. October is all about soulsI took a quick shot of some random games and threw this together.
and Luigi's Mansion

I've wanted to replay REmake for a loooong time now. That needs to happen.
Sounds great! I got a headstart and played Sweet Home for about an hour and a half tonight. And like previous years, I paired it with a nice pumpkin beer. Ill post my impressions in the thread proper.
How have I never entered this thread before tonight?
It was only a matter of time. Still, reproduction carts for the full game are probably going to be plentiful. If the SNES Classic's going to be so hard to find, I can't be too upset about it.

I usually play Castlevania games for Halloween. Unfortunately, I will be on a business trip that week so I will have to bump it up a bit. I might try playing Code Veronica again but I just can't get used to the controls anymore. Luigi's Mansion is also a good bet too.

That Ruiner game that came out earlier this week is giving me some serious Fear Effect vibes. Maybe because it's a cyberpunk game with a vaguely anime-ish aesthetic, done by a bunch of white dudes. It's cool as hell, though. Feels more genuinely Fear Effect than that Fear Effect Sedna game does.

I played it for the first time last year on ps4 and then I played the original right after. I much prefer the original despite having no nostalgia for it !

Not retro, but I recently finished Until Dawn and would definitely recommend it for an October game if you haven't played it.

I know none of us actually play games but y'all need to play Cuphead.
Now.

That good? I'm really glad it turned out -- I lost interest way back, but it looks like it's pretty much mandatory to play it.

I'm interested in Cuphead because it actually has a nice cohesive art style but it would require me to give money to Microsoft so that isn't happening.
By the way, I didn't really like Shovel Knight that much. I'd rather just play a real classic title.

I heard Cuphead doesn't have a traditional score keeping system. Is that as much of a bummer as it sounds?
