SNES Classic Discussion Thread

[NineLives]

As someone whose first system was the n64, Super Mario Kart is unplayable for me. Same with Starfox, that game just looks like ass.

What kind of god aweful ass u been looking at

 

[bradbo]

Remember when typing dirty words in a chat room was more of a rush than sky diving?

 

[Khach86]

Yeah. Super Punch Out was pretty awesome, definitely better than Dream Course. I would have to rank them roughly this way -

Masterpiece tier -

Final Fantasy VI
Super Metroid
Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past
Secret of Mana
Super Mario RPG
Super Mario World
Super Mario Kart
Earthbound

All time classic tier -

Mega Man X
Donkey Kong Country
Contra III

Awesome tier -

Street Fighter II Turbo
Kirby Super Star
Yoshis Island
Super Castlevania IV
Super Punch Out

Great tier -

Starfox
F-Zero
Super Ghouls and Ghosts

Kirby Dream Course tier -

Kirby Dream Course

Would definitely move Castlevania, Yoshi's Island, Street Fighter II, and Super Ghouls up a tier, especially Castlevania. It is undoubtedly a classic.

The music, the coin level, and the chandelier platforming section are amongst the best the series has to offer, not to mention it was a technical powerhouse in its time and showcased what the snes was capable of.

On a side note, all of us are going to be so busy commenting on this thread that we're going to miss it when the preorders go up haha

 

[Jodou]

It'll be hacked fast. Lol.

If Nintendo wised up they could introduce a $150 model called Day One Hackers Edition.

Amazon can make Prime Day Great Again by allowing pre-orders ONLY on that day.

I want to see the world burn.

 

[donny2112]

didn't n64.com turn into ign.com or am I thinking of something else?

Yeah, Nintendo requested the domain, and Matt C. and Peer gave it up. Became IGN64.com instead.

Matt C, now that's a name I haven't heard in a long time.

Isn't he making big bucks at apple's app store division now? So basically I should be blaming him for all the crappy pay 2 win games and bejeweled clones

You want to watch the world burn , but I'll be the one that shall pull the trigger.

 

[thegame956]

Anyone that was able to preorder on U.K. Amazon, was there a order limit ?

 

[LRE1989]

Apparently ToysRUs in the U.K. had preorders available.

A/S/L?

 

[ORANGE ALERT]

I wish Nintendo would release a digital SNES Classic on Wii U (and eventually Switch). $80 bundle for all of the games that come included in the box. I'd sign up for that in an instant and forget about tracking one of these down.

 

[Shadowmoses12]

wtf NoA where are our preorders

 

[Jodou]

If anyone needs some Starbucks coffee and is a Verizon Rewards member, free $5 GC coming up in 5 mins. Figured it was about time this thread had an actual deal.

Heck, they could release it on the Wii as well. The Wii had perfectly functional SNES VC games and AFAIK the Wii Shop is still online...?

 

[Jhingles]

Here's an idea guys, we comment on the product pages about how we're so relieved to have preordered one of these to make people think they already missed it.  Then there's less competition for when they really come up!  Muahaha

Huh? That doesn't make any sense. Nintendo would make tons of money that way, and that is absolutely NOT what they want to do.

Lol! True

 

[Jodou]

Beginning to wonder if BB is waiting to announce pre-orders as part of their 4th of July sale for traffic. Would be a smart move.

Either that or Prime Day.

Best Buy didn't take NES Classic Pre Orders, why would this be different? Same with Amazon

You can get prime free for a month easily, and even if you can't, you can get a month for like $10. A small price to pay to make $200 profit.

 

[soonersfan60]

Amazon might wait until the month expiration for the last round of amiibo sign-ups for Prime.

Pretty sure NESC is exactly why they would this time.

 

[spmahn]

Yes, the NES Classic that was in short supply and high demand. Im sure stores totally want to risk taking pre orders with no guarantee they will get enough inventory to fill them all, that's exactly what they want to do.

 

[TooLegitToQuit]

I was checking out eBay for the NES Classic Edition and sold listing prices have skyrocketed the last 2 days. Any one know why? I doubt it is due to people mistaking the NES for the yet-to-be-released SNES. Maybe a small few, but not this many.

I think it's people just realizing that the first one was discontinued.

They could but we all can just as easily make another new account and start a new prime trial. I know I've already got a new one set up ready to go just in case.

There's no longer any doubt that Nintendo will make more. Since Nintendo has moved on the NESC has now become even more of a collectors item.

That hadn't occurred to me, and completely makes sense. Thanks!

2.5 million collectible lol

 

[Shadowmoses12]

anything on us preorders or Japan

Is this true? Did best buy nor amazon take pre orders for the NES Classic?

 

[Shadowmoses12]

is $99 for a nes mini famicon worth it

I do not recall if Amazon took a pre-order, but I remember that when they went up for sale on Amazon, the site listing shutdown due to traffic.

 

[chrislaustin]

I believe it can be modded the same as the US, but the controllers are hardwired in I believe, so I'm not sure how other controller options may or may not work.

 

[philmcfly]

Really do some research on it. I own the NES Classic and the Famicom Classic.

The NES Classic has to scale controllers because you plug them in. The original Famicom's controllers were attached to it... just like the mini... which means they're to scale.

The controllers are very very small on the thing.

But otherwise it's hackable/convertible to a US NES Classic Softwarewise

 

[TooLegitToQuit]

I think that could be the case for some people, but I think Ibacai's response is much more likely.

 

[chriscolbert]

It really is fascinating that so many of you are assuming there will be U.S preorders. I really hope you're right but you have absolutely zero evidence to base this on. I'm hoping to get one as much as the next guy, but there's no way I'm expecting it to be via preorder at a major retailer.

Assuming, hoping, dreaming, wishing, salivating....

Pick your poison. Haha

 

[bigdaddy]

If Nintendo was really smart they would knock off the 'storage' bullshit and just make more of the ing 'Classics'.

Well don't you have zero evidence that there won't be a preorder as well?

 

[the_vahngo]

pretty sure Target and ToysRus were the only ones that took pre-orders.

not 100% sure though
