SNES Classic Launches 29/09/17 $80, 21 games including Star Fox 2
First ever official release of Star Fox 2. Amazing.
Full list of games: Thankfully, I'm sure the European one will actually look like the nice SNES we got instead of that US ugly one. |

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

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. |

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. |

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. |

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.

So, is this the one that can use cartridges too?
Or is just emulation again? |

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

Japanese version of the mini-SNES has a different lineup of games and a couple more 3rd party games.

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.

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. https://www.destructoid.com/amazon-u...s-446817.phtml |

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

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

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. |
