I got my preorder from Amazon, this is super encouraging to hear. This and the Atari Flashback 8 Gold should be good enough for me.

Was the case with the NES Mini as well
Ugh I have an amazon.de order from June but also snagged a Bestbuy.ca one too. I was gonna cancel the .de order (despite liking the look better) since it's like $40 more.
But I had to change my payment info on Bestbuy and now I'm super paranoid it'll get fucked up and I'll be out two systems. Hoping the Bestbuy one ships early enough that I can cancel the amazon one.

That is the exact same poster the Super NES came with at launch back in 1991... Good times

I hope GameStop has a midnight(9pst) release. But idk if it would be worth it considering my local store only had like less than 10 preorder slots
Well not exact but definitely a homage. No way Starfox was in the original poster.
Mine said they had 3, but something tells me they were being conservative and should have more at launch.

It's similar except Pilotwings was in Super Metroids spot. Super Metroid didn't come out until a few years later.

Was this the original?
I guess no MARIO World makes sense as it was a pack in.
Edit, beaten.

I had the same problem with my Amazon.de order. I ended up cancelling it.

Jeremy Parish uploaded a few videos capturing footage from one:

I saw those - GameXplain and IGN did unboxings too.
After seeing it more, I'm thinking I might take the controller flap totally off and just leave the controllers plugged in all the time

Yeah Amazon often won't let you change shipping address to another country on a pre-order for a sold out item (error message). I used to think that was always the case, but recently I learned that it's kind of random, some orders it will let you change it and not others, even for the same item from the same Amazon site. But if it doesn't work once, no point in keeping trying on that order, it's locked. Only if it comes back in stock before it ships then you can change it.

I paid an extra 10,000 yen to pre-order a Super Famicom Mini on Amazon. Fuck it. I need this system, it is my childhood. I just wish I was in America to get the the one that has Punch-Out and Earthbound on it.

Here's the original:
Well that's the PAL version.
It's clearly aping this North American design though:
Being that this new version comes only with the NA SNES mini and doesn't feature the four colour "super famicom" logo which was completely absent in North America.

Bruh, I'm selling one for much cheaper than that.

Yo really? I'll PM you
EU gets the non-disgusting looking SNES though.

The PAL SNES looks objectively better, but the washed out grey and purple has that nostalgia power for us Americans.

I agree. I grew up with the North American one and I think it's a great looking machine, but definitely PAL/Japan is better. So I love both.
Weird analogy but I've always thought it was 1:1 the Sonic CD soundtrack situation. North American Sonic CD is excellent, but PAL/Japan is even better.

Game emailed me to say they're starting to take the payment for pre orders.

To be fair EU already gets a console that doesnt look like shit.
Btw i canceled my Amazon.de preorder for anyone wanting to F5 that shit.
Hmm I've not received anything from Game yet about my order, hope they haven't forgotten mine or even worse, they've taken on too many pre-orders and I'm one of the unlucky ones
Edit: nevermind, it was in my spam, phew!

My ex got me the Famicom Mini when I lived in Japan and I camped out for one of the last shipment of the NES mini.
Back in America and already got a preorder in for the SNES but I still want the super Famicom. Think we can still order it online after it releases at the regular price??

Guess Im getting the PAL version after all.

Thats weird. My Amazon UK order changed the delivery option from Global Standard to Global Expedited. Should I be worried?

Im the reason why Nintendo changed the look of the SNES for US consumption.
The EU version looks dumb as shit. Bring on the sharp edges.

Considering it's also the instruction manual for how to hook it up, everyone is getting it, yeah.
Yeah, at this point, with another product, I would rather cancel and buy locally... The only thing that keeps me from cancel the preorder on Amazon is the local stores here, charging $140+ for preorders (and it was gone in 30 mins).
So I preordered at Walmart but had to get my credit card replaced last week... apparently theres no way to change your payment info whatsoever besides canceling the preorder!?
Has anyone had any experience with this and do they know if Walmart eventually contacts you to change the payment info when theyre charging the card or do they just straight up nope your order?
