To be fair both Best Buy and Amazon screwed east coasters. Best Buy putting theirs up at 1:30 AM eastern time is not much better than Amazon putting theirs up at 3
Amazon was 4:30 EDT if I remember correctly.

Hoooly shit lmao. Gonna be a bloodbath.
And yet the most fair thing to do really.
Yup! I live in the US. I have a EU SNES Classic pre-ordered that I am willing to trade for a NA version.
I can be seen as an asshole POS, but I'm not THAT oblivious lol. I've made sure to rag on folks who turn a blind eye to the problem.
Yep but they could do with a good line / ticket system otherwise...
I'm pretty sure they'll hand out tickets.
That's what they did for amiibo.

Gamecube Classic better have a drive cover that pops open and a little fake disc inside.
Don't get carried away with the Toys R Us situation, folks. There's going to be like 20-30 people lined up at each store at most on launch day. No Hunger Games or PUBG spectacles, just the rare case of somebody leaving in a huff because they were number 23 in line and the store only had 22 systems.
Every time TRU had exclusive amiibo in my area, it'd be closer to 50-100 people rather than 20-30.
If they do a GCC I think they will have to sell usb sticks with it for storage of like 6 games per usb stick or something. At a certain point these things start costing too much due to storage sizes blowing up. N64 is really the last console before storage goes up by a huge amount.
Even for GBA games?
Thanks
I'm curious if they plan to go up to the Gamecube. I feel they may stop with the N64 or a consolidated Gameboy release since games by the Cube era were reaching 1+ gig levels.

How much space would they need for like 20 Gamecube games?
32GB would nail it

Does anyone know if the SNES will come with a spanish option and translation?

Storage gets exponentially(?) cheaper with time. Two more years before GC mini. And maybe they'll include a hard drive instead of memory chips? A 50GB HDD would cost nothing. But yeah even 32GB of low-tier memory shouldn't cost much in late 2019.

I dont think storage would be a problem then. 20 would probably be what it would have.

I am not sure how many 3rd Party Titles will make the cut. As the SNES Classic doesnt really have that many. I could see Killer 7 and Resident Evil. The Gamecube has enough titles to fill out a solid 20 but depends on how many Capcom and other 3rd Party will give

You really think those are two of the games they would pick?

Preorders are held for 48 hours.
48 hours, but depending on the manager they might make an exception. Talk to them and let them know you'll be away.

arrange a friend picking it up or maybe arrange with the Gamestop, manager can hold for you if you explain, but I'd rather have a friend grab it to ensure it's secured.

Haven't had any disconnect issues with the 2 that I got about 2 months ago. Updated the firmware on the controllers and the NES classic dongles and they both work without a hitch.

That's good to hear then because I wouldn't mind getting a couple for my NES and SNES Classics.
Is it this one?

I assume the receiver would work with the SNES Classic as well and I would just need to SNES controller from

The only way I would go to TRU on 9/29 is if I had my concealed carry permit.
I don't, so I'm going to stay away. Good luck to the people who do.

Does your TV have a USB slot? If so just plug it in there.
Micro USB plugs into console and standard sizes USB on other end goes into TV or any adapter really.

Why wouldn't it be? Like I said in my post you quoted, "many many other games". I liked alot more than those two paticular games I mentioned.
Not a chance. Nintendo is approaching these like toys, not platforms. As soon as they start selling add on games it's a platform to support.
If anything they'll push off the GC Classic by doing GB and GBA.
Ahh ok ty
Micro USB is fine
I think my TV has a USB port but if it doesn't I'll just buy a AC adapter for like $10
I was worried it used some proprietary shit like the 3ds does

It depends if they connect the data connection from the port to the board.
Naked Snake

Not necessarily I think. They could possibly disable or not include the pins/circuitry required for data transfer and make the MicroUSB port only provide power.
But my guess is they won't even do that. Nintendo doesn't seem to care much if these get hacked, they're not like normal consoles where they want you to keep buying games for the entire generation.

I'm not going to bother.
The SNES Mini looks cool, but if Nintendo is going to make it difficult to obtain, I'll just keep my money.

That's a bit excessive. Toys R Us is usually very organized for launches. They typically have employees there early, known quantities, and hand out tickets. Depending on supply and demand, not sure if overnight camping will be required or not.
For NES Classic I got to Walmart at 11:30pm for a midnight launch. I was 5th in line for 6 consoles. The hype is well known for SNES mini, so I'd assume 30 minutes won't cut it anymore.

That's why it's worth buying a Japanese famicom mini
No one is ever going to re-release TMNT or the Crazy Data East Batman so...
