I just came

[Human Snorenado]

"We're only making 7 of them."

[Positive Touch]

they put Star Fox 2 on this?? this damn thing is prolly sold out already somehow

[Valkyrie]

EU version is prettier.

[fistfulofmetal]

i want another way to play Super Metroid because I'm a dummy

[Joe Molotov]

Also production has ceased. Please understand.

[Great Rumbler]

I really want this.

[Positive Touch]

me too even tho I've played the shit out of almost all of these.

what good games are even missing? I'm trying to play "they should have included" but I'm coming up blank. mortal kombat 2? pilotwings?

[Valkyrie]

Too many good games. I'm already crying because I know I won't be able to get my hands on this.

But they should have included The Lost Vikings! My favorite game ever.

[archie4208]

Maybe I can actually get one of these

[CatsCatsCats]

Fuck yeah dude, great line up, even got 7 Stars on there

[HyperZoneWasAwesome]

aren't those most of the FX chip games for the SNES?

I guess they bought out/licensed the tech for that, which is the reason we haven't actually gotten any sort of fully accurate re-release of any of those games since then. That's frigging awesome. Hell, getting a perfect version of Yoshi's Island alone is a big deal.

[Great Rumbler]

aren't those most of the FX chip games for the SNES?

Nah, it's missing Dirt Racer, Dirt Trax FX, Stunt Racer FX, and Vortex.

We aren’t providing specific numbers, but we will produce significantly more units of Super NES Classic Edition than we did of NES Classic Edition.

Super Nintendo Entertainment System: Super NES Classic Edition is currently planned to ship from Sept. 29 until the end of calendar year 2017.

So 51 units then.

FUCK STUNT RACER FX

[Let's Cyber]

Wow how could they leave out *insert obscure SNES game here*??!?!?!

This is bullshit. Fuck nintendo.

no seriously that list is fantastic.

Chrono, if you want to get super nitpicky. Super Mario All-Stars but I understand why they wouldn't include something like that.

I assume Rare evangelists are somewhere on the internet currently complaining about DKC 1 getting a spot instead of 2 or 3 but those people should jump into a volcano.

[Human Snorenado]

Emulating and not giving a shit about this

[Fifstar]

Oh my. That's a really really good selection. Almost perfect. And with a previously unreleased game.

Also seems like it's time to sell my FF III cart.

[seagrams hotsauce]

This looks fucking awesome. I wish they had Chrono Trigger but hopefully you can hack roms into this one too

[Tasty]

Please don't be the butchered GBA version of Yoshi's Island.

If it's the original version then that list of games is lit as fuck. My only complaint is they should have swapped DKC with DKC2.

[Brehvolution]

EU version is prettier.

(Image removed from quote.)

Didn't the Super Famicom look like this? I wonder why the US version looked so different?

[Fifstar]

EU and japanese version always looked the same. Not sure why NOA went for something different, maybe they thought it looked to kiddie or they wanted something that resembled the NES more?

[Tasty]

Competition with the Genesis, maybe.

For real though gimme those superior concave buttons. Don't care that they're purple.

The originals were designed by different people.

[a slime appears]

Holy fucking shit I am so HYPE for this.

I already pre-ordered one from the UK.

Raspberry Pi 3 
Aluminum heatsink case 
8bitdo controllers 
Big ass SD card 
Prebaked disk images from the darkest corners of the Internet...uh...I don't know anything about that 

[Rufus]

Archive.org hosts fullset torrents, so you don't even have to go to shady places any more.

[Positive Touch]

as thing about this is that I still have my original snes, but most of my games got lost over the years. snes games were always too expensive to replace

Great lineup, I'd have replaced Dream Course with CT though, Dream Course is definitely the weak link on that list. Starfox 2 getting an 'official' release is neat too.

Using a GPD WIN to play everything either on TV or on the go


But even though there's emulation and I have a modded NES Classic Mini, so I can already play all this anyway...I'll still get one of these if it pops up for regular price. 

[Let's Cyber]

I may have been a tad bit harsh. Pls don't jump into a volcano.

[Rahxephon91]

I'd like one but no way I'll be able to get one.

Have they not gone up yet or did they sell out already?

[demi]

Nope

[Valkyrie]

They already sold out in the UK. 🙄

I don't want the NA version because it isn't nostalgic looking to me. Super Famicom Mini  just got announced in Japan though, and has some different games. But won't be released until October. (JP and EU had the same design.)

[Bebpo]

Glad I don't care about this stuff (I'm fine with emulators) because I imagine if you don't get it in the first 30 mins of pre-order you'll never see one in your life going by the NES classic.

[benjipwns]

at least when they do the N64 version with 20 games there won't be an endless wail of complaints about a classic they left out

are they selling a limited edition that will slowly and progressively turn a greenish-yellow?

[Joe Molotov]

You mean the special Gold Edition?

[benjipwns]

damn look at the length of the cord on that thing, i totally forgot

Hahahaha.

Don't smoke and game. Think of all the beautiful Model M keyboards that died a gruesome death.

[I'm a Puppy!]

In the pre-min NES world I would've been ecstatic about this. After that whole fiasco? Nah, not gonna bother getting any hopes of getting one.

[CatsCatsCats]

I hope they break production records and leave a bunch of scalpers with returns to make

[Valkyrie]

Can't you even get it secondhand? Most were scalped here, so they're still being sold secondhand. But I know it never reached some European countries that had it up for preorder.

[Trent Dole]

This really isn't the sort of thing people should have to be actively hunting for in order to obtain. It's just a rom box. Fucking Nintendo.

[benjipwns]

Giant Bomb did a livestream of playing with the NES one and people in the chat/comments freaked the fuck out because the one guy from GameSpot popped open one of them to see what was inside. "How how how could he?!?" "WHY THE FUCK WOULD HE RUIN IT?!?"

[Fifstar]

How good did the controllers of the classic nes feel? Because two legit SNES controllers to play those games would be great and a reason to buy the SNES Classic. My old snes controllers are falling apart and none of the aftermarket copies has felt right to me.

[benjipwns]

I think the NES ones were basically recreations of the original?

You could also buy them separately for $10. Though I think those all sold out too.

SNES ones will apparently have an extra two feet of length on the cables.

They were pretty GOAT imo. I hope these are a little bigger than the famicom mini, because they were so tiny it was really hard to use them. They also weighed less than their cable, so it felt a bit weird holding them.

[seagrams hotsauce]

How long are the OG SNES cables? And are there any reasonable wireless options?
