SNES Classic Launches 29/09/17 $80, 21 games including Star Fox 2
 
First ever official release of Star Fox 2. Amazing.

Thankfully, I'm sure the European one will actually look like the nice SNES we got instead of that US ugly one.

Fignuts 06-26-2017 12:24 PM

lol even less games than the NES classic.

#BROKEN Hasney 06-26-2017 12:30 PM

I'd probably say the average quality is wayyy higher though. Plus, with FF6, Earthbound and Mario RPG in there, a metric fuck ton of hours. Plus, 2 controllers.

I barely had any interest in the NES (bar the shell for a RetroPi), but I'm pre-ordering this as soon as I see it available.

Sexy EU model confirmed here too thank fuck.

Doesn't even have Super Mario All Stars?

#BROKEN Hasney 06-26-2017 01:06 PM

Nintendo always ignore it, probably because Mario 1 has a stupid momentum bug which ruins parts of the game.

So again probably, once they're gone, they're gone.

It's like they don't understand that they can actually make more profit by meeting demand as opposed to selling a preselected number of units.

#BROKEN Hasney 06-26-2017 02:24 PM

From what they say, making these actually hinders Switch production. Right now, Apple is gearing up for the next iPhone so the memory modules and displays are being taken up by them, slowing Switch down anyway.

These are basically to get Nintendos name out there again and try to convert people to Switch because that's where the real money is rather than a one off purchase.

Ruien 06-26-2017 02:43 PM

I want this but feel like it will be prices at like 150 now.

#BROKEN Hasney 06-26-2017 02:47 PM

The price is in the title, $79.99.

Amazin UK pre-orders are full. Not gone up for order in the US.

Ruien 06-26-2017 02:50 PM

80 is reasonable.

Emperor Smeat 06-26-2017 03:35 PM

Very small amount of third party games but at least Nintendo learned by including another controller and making the cables longer this time.

screech 06-26-2017 03:46 PM

Was hoping to see Turtles in Time on there, but that's a fun collection. Including two controllers is great also, I just hope they make more than 37 of them.

Cool King 06-26-2017 03:50 PM

I'm trying to pre-order it but the website keeps screwing up.

ClockShot 06-26-2017 04:07 PM

So, is this the one that can use cartridges too?

Or is just emulation again?

Emperor Smeat 06-26-2017 04:10 PM

Emulation.

ClockShot 06-26-2017 04:14 PM

Oh fiddlesticks.

But that's a solid line up and reasonable price. Might just go reserve one at Gamestop tomorrow.

#BROKEN Hasney 06-27-2017 01:57 PM

The creators of Star Fox 2 went out for a launch party 20 years late

Ruien 06-27-2017 06:01 PM

The only game missing that I would have loved is Mega man Soccer. :(

Fignuts 06-27-2017 06:16 PM

Have you played it recently? I loved it too, but it hasn't aged well. Its actually kind of terrible.

Destor 06-27-2017 06:18 PM

Mana/fire emblem >>>>>>>>>>>> the us/eu list

Fignuts 06-27-2017 06:21 PM

Secret of Mana is on the us list.

But yeah, missing out on Fire Emblem sucks

Destor 06-27-2017 06:22 PM

Clearly i over looked it. Points for us

Fignuts 06-27-2017 06:23 PM

Also, Punch out/Street Fighter/Seven Stars >>>>>>Fire Emblem

Destor 06-27-2017 06:37 PM

I dunno about all that...theyre stellar...but better...i dunno

Destor 06-27-2017 06:37 PM

Maybe we should start a better game series

Big Vic 06-28-2017 10:51 AM

Been a few years since the last series.

Sepholio 06-28-2017 11:07 AM

That shit is missing Chrono Trigger...

#BROKEN Hasney 06-28-2017 11:18 AM

There's licensing issues with Chrono Trigger constantly, have to go through the guys who made the art and all that every time they re-release it.

Emperor Smeat 07-05-2017 06:19 PM

For those in the UK, Amazon is restricting pre-orders to only 1 per customer likely to combat scalping and let more people have a chance to buy the mini console. Also because they likely are not sure how many of those Classics will be sent to the UK.

They started sending out emails to those who ordered more than 1 console stating their pre-orders have been changed.

Small warning to those who pre-ordered the new Classic at Walmart as the retailer recently canceled all pre-orders for the device.

Quote:

In an email to everyone who ordered an SNES Classic, Walmart explained that the page went live on accident. "Unfortunately, due to a technical glitch, the Super Nintendo Classic Edition was mistakenly made available last Friday evening ahead of the official release date. We, regrettably, will have to cancel this item on your order. We know that this is incredibly disappointing to you, and we’re truly sorry for this mistake," the email reads. The full letter is in the gallery below.

#BROKEN Hasney 08-01-2017 01:57 PM

Real USA pre-orders are starting next month.

ClockShot 08-01-2017 02:20 PM

Just waiting for the phone call from Gamestop.

Big Vic 08-22-2017 01:18 PM

Pre-orders sold out.

ClockShot 08-22-2017 02:18 PM

You would figure there would be an official announcement. Instead, nothing. Just let it go live and give zero notice to anybody.

Emperor Smeat 08-22-2017 05:33 PM

Some details about the Classic:

Quote:

the Super Nintendo Classic is coming with a couple of new features on top of it's 21 games. As expected, there are "suspend points" that let you save anywhere and at any time. There are also various frames you can put around the games as they run in 4:3 and you can even add simulated scan-lines in CRT mode for that old school feeling. But the real story here is the rewind feature.

Depending on the game, you can watch your own recorded gameplay footage from around 30 seconds to several minutes. At any point you can jump back in and continue to retry certain sections or pick up something you missed. What's more is when you leave the console idle, the system will play that automatically recording gameplay as a screensaver.

Managed to get my hands on one thanks to the hot tip about the Gamestop App.

Thanks, internet braintrust.

ClockShot 08-23-2017 07:17 AM

Toys R Us won't be offering pre-orders.

Instead, they'll have consoles in store on launch day. So, take the day off and get there/camp out early.

Big Vic 08-23-2017 08:20 AM

I already have that day off :D
