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.

😑

 

[BumRush]

PLLEEEEEAAASSSSEEE don't be incredibly hard to get!

 

[Tratorn]

Is it already for preorder anywhere (in germany)?

 

[Sectorseven]

What sort of connectors do the controllers use?.

 

[Ouroboros]

I'm already depressed at the thought of never being able to purchase one of these.

I just purchased a used SNES and about half of these games a few weeks back. That + a framemeister is all I need. I know I won't even see this product in any stores.

Nintendo burned me with the NES classic, a product I waited hours in line for and never got. Unless they triple the production of the SNES classic, the real fans will be up shit creek and the scalpers will profit.

 

[HCgamer]

Controllers will be compatible with wii remote and virtual console?

 

[Soul Lab]

So is this Final Fantasy III or VI. Please explain :O

 

[Banjotanooki]

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

Best buy did them as well for the NES Classic.

 

[cakely]

That is one incredibly desirable product.

I bet the window for pre-orders will be tiny.

 

[KraytarJ]

Hopefully they'll actually make enough this time because I would really like to get one of these.

 

[Milennia]

Releasing star fox 2 and earthbound on this is like a guaranteed consumer hell on earth unlike anything

 

[stan423321]

For a moment I was angry that this thing will have Star Fox 2 before/without it launching anywhere else, but then I realized I wouldn't really like to play the thing anyway. Can't wait to see whether it's actually way more advanced compared to the leaked prototype as alleged.

The presence of Super FX games is encouraging. It's hard to say what exactly changed compared to the past, but it's nice to see Nintendo figuring it out.

The real bad news is that Nintendo may entirely switch to plastic method of delivery of old games which would be a huge boon to me. I don't mind that thing existing, but the fact it may encourage Nintendo to not roll out regular VC on Switch is terrible. Not to mention, many individual games that belong to parties already on the deal will get skipped.

 

[Cmerrill]

No Chrono Trigger or Final Fantasy IV makes this a no purchase.

 

[mcmmaster]

What a shame no Bomberman either, still an amazing selection for 21 games.

 

[Deleted member 471617]

FUCK!!! Awesome list but damn, it's missing Chrono Trigger. Fucking hate Secret of Mana. UGH.

 

[Polioliolio]

How exactly are people who want to buy this, going to be able to actually buy this?

 

[Hero]

I will cut someone to get one of these if I have to. Didn't mind not getting the NES Classic but the SNES is the GOAT.

$80 for 21 games? Oh my god Nintendo you greedy bastards.

Do you know how much some of those games go for?

 

[Krammy]

A bit pricey, but the fact that it's bundled with Earthbound, Final Fantasy III, and Super Mario RPG really sweetens the pot. A shame there's no Chrono Trigger, but 3/4 of the best JRPG's on the console isn't so bad. Great to see Yoshi's Island on here as well, there's a really good selection of titles to be had!

 

[IronLich]

Can't wait to get my hands on this never.

Especially when it comes with the incomplete Star Fox 2.

Their lineup has a few gaps, but their heart is in the right place. Let's hope their mass production gets mass producing this time.

 

[Boke1879]

Nintendo would be real dicks if they didn't at least offer preorders.

Hopefully stores pick up the slack if they don't.

Amazon and Best Buy need to absolutely have preorders and limit that shit to one per customer.

 

[Ridley327]

What sort of connectors do the controllers use?.

Like the NES Classic, these will use the Wiimote connection, so these controllers will be able to work with VC on both Wii and Wii U.

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

I got the NES Classic I can definitely get this!

 

[Keyouta]

Hopefully I can find one to buy.

 

[ramparter]

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.

They will probably have more and should be enough initially but it will still be very limited.

 

[intheinbetween]

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

to be fair it includes two controllers, while the nes mini had only one, and an additional controller costs 20$

 

[demosthenes]

I assume these are just roms that will play in a box on your tv or do they do some weird upscaling?

 

[Bamboo 竹]

People praising the PAL version and shitting the American version has zero taste on design and should feel ashamed.

 

[backflip10019]

God damn I hope this is actually available somewhere to buy.

 

[swarley64]

Can't wait to never be able to buy this 👌

.

 

[Kouriozan]

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

Yep Kirby's Golf is AMAZING, really a killer line-up.

 

[Floex]

\0/ Pre-ordering ASAP

But damn, that US SNES, woof...

 

[Diablohead]

I hope you all have fun finding one of these in stores, and those who do will own something worth hundreds in the resale market.

gg nintendo.

 

[Delio]

Yeah as much as I want one i dont expect to ever get one. That's a shame.

 

[jviggy43]

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

Of course they are. Which just means some 3rd party seller is going to get my money for it rather than Nintendo.

 

[Mirk]

They better make enough of these. Took me months to get the nes classic at retail.

 

[GET2DAACHOPPAAAA]

Hopefully they make more than 6 of them

 

[Maintenance]

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

Hahahahahahahahaha.

It likely will, but people were saying it made no sense for them to stop making them suddenly. It should be pretty clear to everyone now that they stopped producing them because they were planning on this to be out in the Fall.

It will still make no sense when they cancel this next year. NAND shortages ok, otherwise nah.

 

[Holyoneturtle]

I've wanted this ever since they announced the NES classic. It's been a long time but this will be one of the few times i actually go to a gamestop to preorder.

 

[InsaneTiger]

If this shit is only in production for three months I'm gonna be pissed.

 

[linko9]

So is this Final Fantasy III or VI. Please explain :O

Japanese 6, US 3, being the only FF game with that name ever released on the SNES.

 

[yoonshik]

Nice.

 

[Fox Mulder]

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.

The scalpers will just pass the cost on to their customers anyways.

 

[Slightly Live]

Europe is getting Starfox 2 too.

 

[massoluk]

Amazing game line-up holy crap.

 

[HCgamer]

It comes with two controllers wow!

 

[Camjo-Z]

The fact that this has an unreleased game on it had better mean they're either releasing SF2 standalone with the Switch VC or this is going to be widely available. What a dick move it would be to make this as scarce as the NES Classic while bundling a game on it that you literally can't legally play anywhere else.

 

[AuthenticM]

Which retailer?

Where from?

Microplay (Vidéotron). It's in Québec. The thing is not even in their system yet, so they are writing names on a piece of paper LOL. First come first serve.

 

[rrs]

How exactly are people who want to buy this, going to be able to actually buy this?

$200 from the guy with a trenchcoat in a dark alley

 

[TangoAlphaLima]

Wow. This is going to be impossible to find...

 

[Ferr986]

So is this Final Fantasy III or VI. Please explain :O

III is VI USA version.
