Shieet. If i can get one i´ll get one.

 

[The Elite]

Why is everyone expecting preorders? I guess Europe did have them but NA probably won't.

 

[Mory Dunz]

80 bucks? Thought it'd be a little if the nes didn't make much money at 60.

 

[ayob]

I had zero interest in the nes classic but this i cant pass on!

 

[Jazzem]

Amazing, especially the PAL design <3

I wish it had Donkey Kong Country 2, Act Raiser, Chrono Trigger and Pilotwings among a few obscure others, but even then that lineup is astoundingly good

 

[Mattakuevan]

Given that i prefer the DS version of chrono trigger, this is pretty much perfect.

Gonna make me so mad when i cant get one.

 

[Diprosalic]

Wtf is up with this image?
Is the console square instead of rectangular, or am i seeing things?

The American version seems to have the right proportions.
What's up with this?

this is the much better looking european/japanese version.
US version is hideous.

 

[Rygar 8 Bit]

amazon prime preorders please with 1 per customer to crack down on scalpers

 

[jonscrambler]

awesome... if I can get one

 

[DecoReturns]

See guys. Star Fox zero didn't kill the series.

 

[CorrisD]

Superior design, oh yes, looks so much better than that purple nonsense America had.

 

[darkside31337]

Don't have any interest in this after looking at the game list but I'm glad Nintendo is finally putting a F-Zero game on a system they're selling in 2017, people can finally stop complaining. I just hope this means SMRPG eventually comes to the Switch... really any VC news to the Switch would be nice at some point.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

I have the NES Classic sitting on my desk collecting dust. Time to add the SNES Classic to my collection.

I'm going to pack my NES Classic today when I go home. So excited!

Now where's my Genesis Classic?! Nintendo needs to help Sega make these!

 

[Nesther]

Now this has games I actually wanna play! I don't I'll have to worry about getting on here in Europe. I saw a regularly priced NES classic here in the wild a few months back.

 

[maxcriden]

i'm waiting for super famicom mini game list tomorrow....

It took me like months for JP to announce last time, though, right?

 

[Raimond]

OMFG! THEY DID IT! Can't believe they pulled through. The list is amazing! Literally only major thing I would say they're missing is Chrono Trigger. Surprised they got other Square games but not CT, but oh well still an amazing product.

 

[Mantrox]

Euro version, buddy

I have an european console, and it's rectangular not square...

Better perspective

 

[ramparter]

This one also has the right proprtions, its how the original Snes looked in Europe. Its actually also how Super Famicom looked!

 

[Camjo-Z]

HOLY FUCKING SHIT

Star Fox 2? Are you kidding me!?

I gave up on NES Classic after a while because I couldn't find any stock but I'll go to any lengths to hunt this thing down.

 

[CampbellzSoup]

Great news, however will we actually be able to get one.

Isn't it so sad that the NES classic was not able to meet demand...I assumed it was for the switch VC but if their launching this it's inexcusable not to produce enough to meet demand of the NES classic.

I like how we're all half excited as we know the true reality of actually obtaining one. Sad!

 

[Lasthope106]

Why is everyone expecting preorders? I guess Europe did have them but NA probably won't.

Because you can't expect Nintendo to be this stupid 2nd time around. Right? They can't be right?...

...

...

omg

 

[sfedai0]

Damn, should I spend $300 for this or get a $300 for PS4?

 

[digitalrelic]

Why is everyone expecting preorders? I guess Europe did have them but NA probably won't.

This isn't the NES Classic. Nintendo didn't know what they had with that system. I fully expect them to allow preorders this time around. Nintendo must be fully aware of the demand this is going to bring.

 

[Sealtest]

Now to wait for the inevitable N64 mini year

can't wait for the posts or youtube videos about people complaining about how the n64 controller is terrible and they dont understand how it works.

 

[crimnos]

Have to hope they would have learned their lesson from last time, but this is Nintendo so lol.

 

[Marty Chinn]

This has nothing to do with it. Nintendo can still put another 300.000 nes classics on the market and sell them

I don't think Nintendo wants them to overlap though and only have one out at a time to focus on one. Plus it's almost certainly using the same board as the NES Classic, so they just switched that part of the production over to the SNES version anyway.

 

[HerroRygar]

Lack of DKC2 and Chrono Trigger make me sad, but this is still Ana amazing list. Definitely hope to get one to give as a present.

I think if you added those two it would include every single game I played and loved on SNES as a kid. Even without those this lineup is crazy good.

Still hoping they get their shit together with Virtual Console and let me buy Chrono Trigger on Switch

 

[RedZaraki]

It's already sold out. You won't get one.

 

[Instro]

Collection would be basically perfect if it had Chrono Trigger. Damn. I'm down though.

 

[ryan299]

Higher price is bc of the longer cables.

 

[Tsunamo]

Why do I have to be broke at the worst times.

 

[oatmeal]

I know I won't get one and my hatred of nintendo will deepen.

If virtual console was a thing and the hundreds i spent on the Wii and Wii U could be played on the Switch it wouldn't be as fucking annoying.

 

[Crayolan]

Laughing at people surprised at the price increase. They could've charged $100 and it'd still sell out easily.

 

[ToonLink]

... but.... but.... the NES Classic didn't have preorders (unless you were outside of the U.S.)

Yeah, I'm from the UK. Amazon and the Nintendo UK Store both had pre-orders up briefly (like a day or so).

 

[muteki]

Hopefully Nintendo learned some lessons this time, I'd really like to get one.

 

[Pics_nao]

In just for Hyper Turbo

 

[Cess007]

Now to wait for the inevitable N64 mini year

I'm drooling already at the thought

 

[AdmiralMikey]

I'm sure just like the NES Classic that Nintendo will produce dozens of these to satisfy the wants of millions of consumers.

 

[J3ffro]

None of these stand out as the one game I'd buy for it, but there's like 12 games that I all kinda want. Guess I'll have to fight the good fight in the next few months.

 

[careksims]

Welp NOA's gonna fuck this up like the NES Classic. Never saw the classic once on sale.

 

[JayCB]

Starfox 2 is a great idea for this, wow.

 

[maxcriden]

And already sold out

Please tell me it didn't go on sale already -__-

 

[RootCause]

I have an european console, and it's rectangular not square...

Better perspective

Long live Purple!

 

[WhiteRabbitEXE]

Why is everyone expecting preorders? I guess Europe did have them but NA probably won't.

Yup. Only Target did NES preorders, and I get the feeling they weren't supposed to. Thank god they honored them.

 

[jviggy43]

I'm conflicted. I have an SNES with most of these games that still works but star fox 2 and the convenience of having one of these is too much for me to pass. Plus I assume people will figure out hacks which allow for more games.

 

[Mr. Poolman]

That is a rock solid game list

 

[mazillion]

HOLY SNAP. AND STAR FOX 2??!

Nintendo pleeeaase make enough

 

[Relix]

Trying to buy this will be impossible right.

 

[KojiKnight]

The price hike is probably a good sign for continued production. Nintendo was likely not making anything off of the NES one between licensing and hardware and distribution. That extra 20 plus fewer licensed games means that it'll be much more economically viable to keep in production for longer.

 

[Bjoern the Smexy]

How can it be that the worst game in this collection is Kirby's Dream Course, and that one still is a motherfucking blast?
