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...

But doesn't the Famicom Mini come with tiny controllers and undetachable cables (so can't use extensions)? Plus I think it's kinda ugly.

Yea it is. Looks wise the pal version is the best (sort of biased since that's what i grew up with), then US, and lastly the super famicom.

My post was about the Famicom not Super.

And I thought Super Famicom looks the same as the European SNES?

 

[Shadax the wizard]

I have to pay 62 dollars at this moment just to pre order at gamestop, what? I've never seen that in any store ever :/

You're right. It's the Japanese famicom that's butt ugly. Japanese super famicom and pal snes are lookalikes. My bad.

I only had to put down $25 @ my local Gamestop

Your GameStop still had them for pre-order today? Shoot I might try to go right now then lol

 

[ThatsMytrunks]

Holy crap.

 

[TheSkullPrince]

Holy crap.

Sweet fucking Jesus LMAO

GODDAMN!!!

 

[entremet]

Didn't Nintendo say this wouldn't happen again lol.

 

[Diablohead]

Didn't Nintendo say this wouldn't happen again lol.

I think they wanted to make more overall not just for the initial launch, so instead of stores recieving two nes minis a month they will now get 4 snes minis instead.

 

[SanguineShark]

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

Quoting for new page. Anyone know if the games will be playable in spanish?

 

[Earthbound64]

Same.

No, they didn't.
lol?

 

[Simply Sami]

Surely something needs to be done.

This is shitty for people who can't get one. I personally think the whole gaming media from youtubers to journalists need to start having a go at Nintendo. Fans need to start voicing their opinion on social media. Maybe get a hashtag started.

This is just plain ridiculous from them. This isn't special gold they handing out. It's a games console. Produce enough of them, make lots of money and stop fucking around. Would any other company pull this shit?

 

[Snkfanatic]

Believe so

https://youtu.be/x-ljCsng0ng?t=461

That could just be the menus so I am not sure if the games themselves will switch as well.

 

[Merchandise]

Wait, how are these powered? It's just USB, not a wall outlet? So using an EU one in the US is even easier than I thought?

Will to trade a US version for EU increasing...

4.38 in the video. Spanish is one of the languages on there.

 

[Kildrek]

Yeah but I need to know if I can trade one of these bastards for an Xbone x

/s

 

[Gamecocks625]

Eh, maybe if they offered the bundle of games at a reasonable price. Current VC would cost what like $170 to get all of those games?

True. The savings is significant.

It's just crazy how they treat their classic library.

 

[HoodWinked]

first 10 minutes of the cagcast talks about the SNES classic preorders.

Maybe 2.

 

[Nelo Ice]

Was at Gamestop today picking up a Funko Pop and some guy came in desperate for a SNES classic. He already knew they had none left but was asking if they knew what their allocation stock would be for launch. I imagine every store is going to have people like this desperate to find one.

 

[Shadax the wizard]

Ponied up the 62 dollars for my preorder. Greedy bastards. I noticed the maximum order was 3 units per person which was curious. I Also have another deposit free pre order at another store so hopefully I'll get one. In Sweden btw.

 

[Irishonion]

Did best buy ever have nes classics for sale outside of pre orders on launch day? Or other stores.

 

[indigo-cyclops]

I've given up on trying to bother getting one of these. What's the point, really? I got lucky with the NES Classic, but at this point, I'd rather just go by the original hardware then put up with this nonsense.

 

[SecondCitySaint]

I have an NA and EU SNES Classic preordered. Keep 1 and hopefully some nice Gaf soul wants to trade for a NES Classic. No preference on keeping the NA or EU one.

 

[Earthbound64]

Yes and yes.

 

[spookyfish]

Yes. That's how I eventually got one.

Was just going to offer this; I'll keep it in mind honestly.

 

[Irishonion]

Thanks. Suppose I'll try my luck.

Thanks, I really hope the games are playable in spanish too, not just the menu.

My local walmart isn't too packed when it comes to stuff like this. I vow, any snes classic I can get from my local wal mart, I'll sell on here for retail price and ship for free to anywhere in the continental US.

 

[MrPressStart]

What day does it actually release? Will toys r us open or sell at midnight or is it wait in a line until they open at 8:00 am.

 

[Shadax the wizard]

Huh, already got an confirmation for the pre order to pick it up at the store on launch. Hope it holds true.

 

[redmetal86]

If you do that, I'll buy one, assuming I haven't already gotten one beforehand.

Data East Batman?! I know they did a Pinball game, but did they release a Data East Batman for Famicom or something?

 

[Euphoria14]

Every version of the console comes with a USB to Mini USB wire. The US version is the only one that comes with a wall adapter for the USB wire to plug into.


Edit - I think I may have completely misunderstood what you wrote...

 

[MrMephistoX]

My bad wrong publisher Sunsoft's Batman the Videogame.

 

[lucius]

Can't Nintendo just keep making them into next year then many people like me who want one will be able to get one eventually.

 

[F34R]

They definitely could.

 

[sixteen-bit]

they already said they aren't gonna make any past 2017

 

[jviggy43]

Yes but like more by Nintendo standards is well below what they need to be achieving here.

 

[Vincent Alexander]

I managed to get one at Gamestop going in, and another one later that day using the Gamestop app. I spent a good 20 minutes trying to add to cart before it went through, and ended up nabbing a wireless SNES classic bundle.

 

[BlondeTuna]

Did stores open early on launch day for NES classic last year? I'm wondering how early I'm going to have to camp in front of Toys R Us.

 

[Khaos Kontrol]

The page for the GameTrust SNES Classic Edition brings up an error. Makes me fearful for my pre-order.

 

[Earthbound64]

Yes

No they didn't.

 

[rec0ded1]

That Amazon alert email never fucking works does it?

 

[Azubah]

It would've helped if the Amazon page for it was the one you could've signed up an alert for.

 

[Kevin]

That Amazon alert email never fucking works does it?

Nope. Never worked for me with any product. Same with Wal-Mart's. Not even sure why stores have these if they don't work at all. I think one time I got an alert several days after a product came back in stock.

 

[cordy]

I missed the NES.
I got 2 SNES preorders through Amazon.
Not even going to seriously try that N64 one until some shit changes.

Idk man this is just bad business how they're doing people dirty. Nintendo's the only gaming company that this always happens to.

What's the last product that they had a great amount of with no shortages?
