Oooh, I hope they figure out how to add Tetris Attack. I can think of two dozen other titles I'd like to see as well, but that's the only one whose omission would make me keep my original SNES handy.

That's really disappointing. At least u get a free month of Prime out of it.
Yeah, I should say I've had amazing luck with BB preorders, all have come day one and occasionally a day early. That's for games and amiibos.

I might head to Target early on Friday and return my Thinkgeek if I can find it there. A TG rep told me they charge when they ship, but they told me they would ship in early October... so I'm confused!

Ah, sorry, missed that.
Yeah, that wasn't very smart on Nintendo's part, unless of course they secretly like that more people will buy it if it's hackable.

This poster pulses with an appeal so broad the typical restraints of our societies fall by the wayside.
Yeah I was expecting their orders to ship next week as well, so I thought I had more time. I guess I should just be happy I'm getting one.
(fuck that stupid SMB cartridge canteen though)

Amazon UK still says it's coming on Friday. I nearly forgot I had it preordered it was so long ago.

I think you may be exaggerating a bit. I've never had any troubles getting my Amazon orders delivered on release day. It could be because my account goes directly to my checking account for payment instead of using credit cards. It seems like most people who have trouble use credit cards.

The flight plan I just filed with the agency list me, my men, Dr. Pavel here. But only one of you!
I doubt that's much of a consideration one way or the other. It's likely going to sell our regardless. On the other hand I can't see them minding that much; downloading SNES roms of game you don't still have the SNES cartridge for is technically piracy but it's not like people are taking money of of Nintendo's pocket by... not buying the now non-existent SNES cartridge retail?

Are they ACTUALLY going to make these readily available?
I feel like so many people are putting stock into Reggie when he's burned us before.

Got a confirmation that my game.uk order is being shipped. I got the EU version just because I had a super famicom back in the day and preferred its design

Multiple people who work at retailers have reported much larger incoming quantities for their stores than the NES classic, at least. It's anecdotes but it's a good sign.

On release day you won't be able to get one unless you go at midnight or when the store opens. After that, we don't know how often stock will be refreshed.
It'll never be easy to find but it won't be like the NES Classic.
Personally, I am glad I got one. I don't care for Nintendo consoles after SNES so I am done with this madness.

They're definitely sending more out for launch than they did with the NESCE. But demand is high, so don't expect to just casually stroll into a store on Friday afternoon and grab one.
I feel like demand will still outstrip supply and after the launch it will be dry through the holidays at retail, going in and out of stock online. That's my opinion, anyway.
It could be that, yeah. And I'm sincerely glad to hear you've had good luck with them. Respectfully, though, I don't believe I'm exaggerating.. I said they have been notoriously bad, and I stand by that politely - in any new release thread or OT you will see several people complaining that Amazon will miss the delivery day. I've PM'd countless users to advise them to contact Amazon CS to see if there's anything to be done.
This, plus the Wario64 info on 9/23:

Same. Just got the email lol.
That's what I think will happen too. I expect a huge restock right before Black Friday, but it won't really be available on shelves until 2018.

What mode is everyone planning to use? I'll probably go with the CRT filter, as I've grown accustomed to liking scanlines in my emulation.
Is pixel perfect worth using for any games? I tend to pretty immediately notice how it messes with the aspect ratio (circles become ovals, for example) and that's usually not a sacrifice I can tolerate for the otherwise increased fidelity.

4:3 no scanlines. Not a fan of 'pixel perfect', it feels too narrow to me and effects gameplay.
Maybe the 'speakers' theme for the sidebars? Some of them are pretty distracting.

Noooooo, my stupid Game.uk preorder didn't go through cause Wellsfargo blocked the purchase because it didn't think I'd randomly buy something from the UK. Now I can't reconfirm it! Gahhhhh

Game contacted me saying there was issue processing my payment, said it was declined.
Now its suddenly available to view on my account and Im debating whether to put in my info and let them process it again or just cancel it.

Can i please check in with everyone regarding adding games to the snes mini.
I read this morning that like the nes mini this one can have games added to it, is this true?
If so what do you need to add games? Is it difficult?
All i want to be able to add is the other 2 donkey kong games alongside super bomberman and i'll keep my pre-order.

So far I've heard that stores got quite a few unlike the NES classic. So here is hoping.
I'd love to just walk in and grab one eventually

So... As a dumbass that never managed to snag a pre-order, what store is my best bet for waiting in line at?

Supply is up for sure but I wonder if demand will be higher than the NES classic.

I bet that Target is going to be quite packed.

If you ordered in France, some places are already getting them. Ninty apparently bumped up the release by a couple days so as not to coincide with the release of FIFA, which given its popularity here is best avoided.

Targets around my state are showing anywhere from 30-60 units per store. That seems like a good number for launch date.
