Yeah that's Walmart. I've ordered all sorts of Nintendo's rare stuff from them and it's always cancelled. In one case, they were serving orders taken months after mine before they cancelled it, too.

Oh well, at least I don't have to give Walmart money now.

I got one from gamestop anyway but they would not fulfill one of the August batches of pre-orders and the batches ordered two days later shipped. So I said gently caress it. They probably mess up the sku internally and never update any incorrect orders. Or cancel them. I know there's a dude that had a gold Mario amiibo pre-ordered for months and Walmart would never fulfill it despite it coming back in stock (and selling out quickly). So gently caress Walmart.

Who in the blue hell would even want an NES Classic when the SNES Classic is so readily available and easily modded? The NES controllers are terrible and all but maybe seven or eight games are interesting as a five-minute novelty and nothing more.

However, I would prefer there be more options to purchase additional NES Classic controllers and SNES Classic controllers, because even though I CAN play with an SNES controller on the SNES Classic, I'd really like to play with a standard NES pad for those games. I also have an EverdriveN8 and a CRT and the ability to stream from it, so I'm not the target market.

I'm enjoying these mini consoles for what they are because I have plenty of other devices that can be used for general purpose emulation.

See also my RetroPie I spent 3 weeks modeling into the perfect theme and has been powered on twice since, both times just to show someone else how cool it was.

I agree there's a lot more value in the SNES Classic, but the NES Classic is still interesting for at least one evening of fun without having to get all serious about emulation.

Regardless of “platform”, what games have you played to “completion” on either the NES Classic or SNES Classic? So far for me, I have gone through: Legend of Zelda (NES) Legend of Zelda LTTP (SNES) Metroid: Zero Mission (GBA) Gyruss via Konami Arcade Classics (PS1) (oh yeah) Soul Blade (PS1) (I played as the dude that was never seen again, Li Long) Gyruss (NES) Star Fox Star Fox 2 GI Joe (Arcade) I put hours into Chrono Trigger and Super Mario RPG before more or less abandoning them... again. I know we all buy the things but what do we really play?

I most certainly do play both consoles a lot Mario Bros Mario 2 Mario 3 Bubble Bobble Final Fantasy Kirby Mega Man 2 Star Tropics Super C (popular with my friends as a quick time killer on week-ends for a time) Zelda Zelda 2 I also finished Phantasy Star 4 on the nes classic after making the mistake of purchasing a genesis flashback. Can't say I really put any effort into the other games I added except Contra and TMNT 2. On the SNES I've completed: DKC Mega Man X Star Fox Castlevania 4 Mario RPG Mario World Super Punch Out Link to the Past I unlocked 150 cc in Mario Kart and have a save file ready to do Kefka's tower in FF 3. Haven't installed hakchi on the SNES yet. Maybe I won't. I think my 8bitdo controller has played a huge role in my continued used of the consoles. I intended to play Secret of Mana, Super Metroid and Yoshi's Island on the SNES classic as well but I got a super NT and I'll be replaying those on real carts. That's where I'll be replaying Chrono Trigger and DKC 2 (ongoing) too. Death Priest fucked around with this message at 05:12 on Jun 23, 2018 |

On my NES I've played Super Mario Bros. 3 and Dr. Mario to literal death Haven't actually beat any games other than SMB3. Enjoying watching my cousin, non-gamer, enjoy Earthbound without me ever recommending it to her (I got her an SNES classic)

It disappoints me how little be played my NES and SNES classics. I’ve spent more time trying to get them than actually playing them. I just want to play these games on the go on my Switch, which is 90% of how I play these days.

I've cleared: Star fox Star fox 2 (like 30 times now I absolutely love it) Super metroid Super castlevania 4 Yoshi's island 100% Super Mario world All of Super Mario all stars And I've played a bunch of other games on and off like sd3 and chrono trigger. I've definitely gotten my money's worth out of it and still switch it on every other week or so as my default when I'm indecisive about playing something else in my backlog

I've got working SNES and GBA emulators loaded onto mine already, it's pretty great. Making my SNESc and NESc sorta redundant though, whoops.

If your heart doesn't fill up with joy with the sight of a teeny-tiny NES or SNES sitting your desk then I don't know what to say, man. It even plays games!

I got my NES from Amazon UK on Monday. I knew the controller cable was supposed to be short, but was not prepared on just how short it is. Except I'm going to be a degenerate and just use the SNES Classic controllers so I don't have to buy a second controller + 2 extension cables.

All Toys R Us are closing this month. Great place to get extensions for $1 each if your local one is still open.

Showed up at Walmart at midnight, got an NES Classic with no waiting! So glad I didn't drop over a hundred bucks on scalpers last year. I also bought an extra controller through Gamestop just now, and it timed out a few times, but on the fourth or fifth attempt it seemed to go through and gave me an order confirmation page with an order number and everything. I haven't received a confirmation email, though, and I don't have a Gamestop account (or didn't want to go through the hassle of cracking into it) so I can't check it see if it's logged. Let's just all cross our fingers I guess.

Went to Walmart at midnight, they had 5 controllers. No lines. No NES Classics (They were "Delayed" and "probably arriving tomorrow during the day") Grabbed 2 controllers, one for me and one for my co-workers.
