Can I use a Wii Pro controller
Since it's the same hardware as the NES version, then yes it should support it.

Can you buy games for it?
There is no physical cartridge slot and it cannot support old SNES cartridges.

Can I still use it like a emulation machine like the NES Mini Classic?
All signs point to yes.

How many of units has Nintendo produced for the Christmas period?

 

[sfedai0]

If the order goes through, I'll have a european SNES but unable to get a US one.....and Im from the US. Not sure how I feel....

 

[MRORANGE]

Retailers have already started selling them before 29th, so that's why we have a early thread.

 

[VeryGooster]

Mine is supposedly arriving the first week of October from Walmart.

 

[UraMallas]

Cannot wait!

Just bought the Hori wireless pad off of Amazon.

EDIT: Get you one of these.

[EscapeArtist]

I'm definitely going to be standing in front of a Best Buy super early on Friday because I missed every opportunity to pre-order this damned thing...and then I have to try and find another one for a friend that is in the same position but has to work Friday.

 

[Toki767]

Zoolert is showing Target inventory stock. But obviously YMMV. But hopefully gives people an idea of stock around them if they're planning to walk into a store Friday morning.

[sinonobu]

Excited to play through FFVI for the first time with this

 

[SheHateMe]

• The US SNES Mini Classic version is the inferior version.

The only important information needed. LMAO

 

[reelbigtink]

Nice OT.

Planning to play through one of the games I've never beaten (likely Castlevania IV) first!

Also, US SNES Classic is the best sry

 

[JimJamJones]

Mine is supposedly arriving the first week of October from Walmart.

Mine says the same (October 5th), but it also shows expedited shipping and that the order is preparing. Maybe it'll come sooner?

 

[jacobeid]

My JP preorder won't be here until Oct. 11 or so. I hope I can get one in store on Friday since a lot of the text-heavy games will be unplayable for me. Couldn't get a US pre-order despite my efforts.

 

[Sir Doom]

BB shipped 2
Waiting for Walmart
Amazon France

And picking up my Japanese one next week

 

[ParityBit]

Hope I can get one

 

[friskykillface]

Hype
Still need to track a super famicon down

Can't wait for Friday

 

[Garou]

Release in Japan is 10/5.

 

[NeOak]

The US SNES Mini Classic version is the inferior version.

Someone is salty that we got a custom version for our continent. Wew.

 

[JP]

For anybody who doesn't already know, just hold L, R, START & SELECT on the included controller to reset the game.

EDIT:
Apparently, this is actually the same as was present on the original SNES.

 

[Tom Nook Sawyer]

Apparently the Classic lets you soft reset any game

Edit: Beaten! (not to the home menu tho)

 

[Naked Snake]

Is this thread my new home?

 

[ggx2ac]

• You will need to include your own AC adapter to power it.

You can still power it via USB port on another device right? Like TV or PC?

 

[amnesiac]

For anybody who doesn't already know, just hold L, R, START & SELECT on the included controller to reset to the home menu.

It only resets the game, not to the home menu

 

[Blanquito]

Ok, cool. I managed to get one, and hoping I can add other games as I see fit

 

[rikichi]

So happy to have gotten one. No standing in line. Fuck that noise!

 

[JayBabay]

The time is upon us! Excited to get my hands on this. Equally excited to see how much demand it's going to have once it's officially available at physical stores.

 

[kyo2004]

Come on Amazon US. Give us a delivery date already, 3 days remaining and 0 info on that preorder is painful... (and knowing others stores already preparing/shipping/selling add so much salt)...

PS: Great thread BTW MRORANGE...

 

[Naked Snake]

The box for the American region in this image in the OP is wrong, I believe.

This is how it looks:

Cannot wait!

Just bought the Hori wireless pad off of Amazon.

EDIT: Get you one of these.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01A6GCN70/?tag=neogaf0e-20

Sold out very quickly as it did on Amazon Japan.

 

[neojubei]

Nice OP, cannot wait for mine

First game i will play will be Super Mario World as it was the first game i had when i had the original snes.

 

[JP]

Apparently the Classic lets you soft reset any game

Edit: Beaten! (not to the home menu tho)

Yeah, I realised after reading it back it that I made it sound like I meant the SNES home menu rather than the game home menu.

I've edited it now to be less confusing.

 

[Spukc]

Great op

 

[NeOak]

The box for the American region in this image in the OP is wrong, I believe.

This is how it looks:

OP pulled a fanmade box.

 

[CookedChocobo]

lol the US one comes with a power adapter I believe. Not so inferior?

 

[DudeWithNoName]

lol the US one comes with a power adapter I believe. Not so inferior?

Sweet. I was wondering wtf they were thinking with that.

 

[Eyothrie]

https://www.zoolert.com/target-inventory-checker/?ic=207-29-7001

I wish this didn't say that my local Target has 52 in stock, lol. Makes me want to drive out there now!

 

[Naked Snake]

lol the US one comes with a power adapter I believe. Not so inferior?

And a vintage poster.

But European one remains superior.

I wouldn't mind owning one of the US controllers though, they look nice, and I'd like to see what all the fuss about the concave buttons is, or if it's just a bunch of hot air as I suspect. But the design of the console itself I have been unable to swallow aesthetically.

 

[Shig]

Might want to replace the mockup US boxshot in the OP (that lists a game that's not even on the thing) with, y'know, the actual US boxshot?

edit: beaten

 

[Booker.DeWitt]

lol the US one comes with a power adapter I believe. Not so inferior?

The ot needs to be fixed. Yes, the American one comes with ac adapter

 

[Glass Shark]

.

 

[Sanic]

There are a lot of these showing up at Targets around me. One store has 43, another has 61. Certainly much better than NES stock last year.

 

[NeOak]

The ot needs to be fixed. Yes, the American one comes with ac adapter

OP has a wrong US box. Bias against the US version for God knows why.

Yeah, US version is not gonna get correct info in the OP of this thread. Besides the posting it 3 days early when pretty much 99.9% of people can't buy it yet.

 

[Pajamas]

Excited to play through FFVI for the first time with this

Hope you enjoy it. I remember when I got it back in 1994. It became my favorite game of all time. What I would give to experience it again for the first time...

 

[UraMallas]

Sold out very quickly as it did on Amazon Japan.

Oh, shit. If I would've known that was gonna happen I would've bought two.

 

[Harbinger of War]

[*] All games run at 60fps

When did Nintendo remove the Star Fox games from the system?

 

[Celcius]

I'm going to try to get one on Friday but I have to work. I'll try on my lunch break and then again after work.

 

[OmnipotentO]

I'll be sure to buy one when I can just go to the store and pick one up. :/

 

[SparksterMeta0]

When did Nintendo remove the Star Fox games from the system?

Spoiler

Boom

Waiting for one of my orders to ship (Amazon or Walmart).

 

[ParityBit]

I am sure the initial stock will be good, but restock will be so inconsistent and slow.

 

[Rizzi]

All these years later and I still can't believe how hideous the US SNES is.
Y'all got robbed.

 

[NeOak]

When did Nintendo remove the Star Fox games from the system?

Ayyy

All these years later and I still can't believe how hideous the US SNES is.
Y'all got robbed.

ever tried the US controller?

 

[Booker.DeWitt]

OP has a wrong US box. Bias against the US version for God knows why.

Yeah, US version is not gonna get correct info in the OP of this thread.

That sucks, there is a place for jokes but I don't think the first post of an OT is therighr place for it. People might avoid buying locally to buy overseas if they think the us version is inferior and does not come with ac adaptor. Not cool

Ps;: I have all versions preordered, so I have no bias in that regard
