Total shot in the dark but, does anyone remember what time the NESC went up for preorder in NA?

I don't think it was available for preorder at all in NA.

 

[NeonBlack]

God, are you punishing me?

Is this the price I'm paying for my past mistakes?

 

[Lupin the Third]

I don't think it was available for preorder at all in NA.

Target and Toys R Us were the only exceptions.

 

[Lee]

ive only played the arcade version of ghouls and ghosts which is admittedly rad, does the snes version hold up

Definitely holds up.

I played the crap out of that one too growing up. Never could quite beat it. Got to love that magical golden armor (if you can get it).

Man I still have every level memorized. Every piece of armor, every weapon chest. My brothers and I could pretty reliably beat the game on easy but it was unforgiving for sure. It's actually the game I'm most excited to play again on the whole list.

 

[RedZaraki]

It'll be 5:00 p.m. eastern time AKA 2:00 p.m. pacific. Bank on it.

 

[Kadin]

Absolutely, it runs 8 and 16 bit era games pretty flawlessly, and you can even run MAME , CPS2 and Neo Geo roms. Basically the majority of NES games will load up on it with no external emulators required, whereas for other systems you upload additional emulators.

You can also straight up run Retroarch on it, it's pretty awesome.

This sounds amazing. This little machine is gonna be so great to dabble with provided I love the SNES controllers as much as I remember.

 

[jennetics]

Did it ever?

Oh I see...welp, there goes my genius thinking

It didn't. Only Target had one.

 

[gweemz]

I'm getting scared that the only way I am going to get one of these is by buying the eventual "gamestop bundle" like I had to do with the nesc.

 

[Cepheus]

What order will you play these games in? Zelda would be my first choice if I hadn't beaten it so many times.

17. Secret of Mana
18. The Legend of Zelda™: A Link to the Past™
19. Super Ghouls ’n Ghosts®

For me, in this order.

1. Street Fighter 2

Target.com went up on August 15, 2016, just about exactly a month after it was announced (July 14). I believe it was well after midnight on the west coast.

 

[MadClacker]

16bit system will go for pre-order at 16:00 hours. 4PM confirmed.

 

[moltonasty]

 

[Gaspard]

do they deliver anywhere else in EU?

Did it ever?

It was on pre order at target for like 5 minutes at 4AM EST. I think Toys R Us also had a similar timeframe of preorders.

 

[Netherscourge]

We're coming up on 200 pages lol

 

[zma1013]

If I'm able to get a Super Famicon mini from Japan, it will work fine in the US right?

 

[mrk8885]

Target and Toys R Us were the only exceptions.

Target was an exception....and then they cancelled a ton because they oversold.

Mine included.

 

[WhiteRabbitEXE]

While I keep popping up in the thread and have all my notifications setup, seriously people. I would legitimately be shocked if ANY major US retailer has pre-orders up within the next month or so, if ever.

 

[snake fish]

If I'm able to get a Super Famicon mini from Japan, it will work fine in the US right?

It should runs off USB and connects via HDMI to your TV.

 

[Banjotanooki]

If I'm able to get a Super Famicon mini from Japan, it will work fine in the US right?

Yep.

My Famicom mini works fine here.

 

[Shiggy]

do they deliver anywhere else in EU?

Don't think so, but you could use a forwarding service.

 

[480p]

while the US SNES mini might not go up today, i'm hoping the JPN famicom does. thats pretty much the one im looking for anyways

 

[The Wraith]

Super Castlevania IV and Final Fantasy 3/6 make this thing a must buy for me. Please god let Nintendo do the right thing and make enough so the scalpers don't go ham.

 

[mjc]

Preorders will go up at 3:30am and there'll be approximately 70 units for most of the US.

 

[Grettir_the_Swole]

PUSH THIS THREAD TO THE LIMIT

 

[Eric_S]

Some things where meant to be quoted.

Case in point:

 

[Poppy]

did you guys ever stop and think maybe they will release preorders when we hit the thread limit???? maybe we need to KEEP POSTING

 

[WhiteRabbitEXE]

What would be the best way to try and order one, anyway? I don't think Amazon JP ships this kind of stuff to the US, right?

 

[NOLA_Gaffer]

Oh man, someone make a thread about Dylan Cuthbert and the Starfox 2 staff having an impromptu launch party 22 years late:

 

[Raytow]

Super Soccer for the super famicom, but not the EU super nes wtf Nintendo??

 

[DataGhost]

Some things where meant to be quoted.

Case in point:

Is that the original? Who's the artist?

 

[JayBabay]

Target and Toys R Us were the only exceptions.

In Southern California I stopped by both and they were not doing preorders in store.

 

[Dantrist]

do they deliver anywhere else in EU?

No, they don't.

 

[WhiteRabbitEXE]

In Southern California I stopped by both and they were not doing preorders in store.

They were both web only with the NES.

preorder date extends with each post on this thread

Spoiler

july 2020 3:30AM preorder date confirmed

 

[Dawnbuster]

I don't blame the retailers.

NOE, being competent, was probably ready for the announcement and had provided expected stock numbers to European retailers ahead of time.

NOA, being incompetent, was probably not ready for the announcement and hasn't provided expected stock numbers to North American retailers ahead of time.

Just a guess based on past NOA performance vs NOE.

 

[UberTag]

I'm willing to take the bet that Nintendo will re-sell their classic games on Switch. Let's not be silly.

Nintendo probably will. These third-party efforts from the NES and Super NES Classic Mini? I wouldn't be so sure of that.

 

[reelbigtink]

For whatever reason a TON of people think the NES Classic didn't go up for pre-order in the US but it did in a bunch of places. The SNESC will as well, most likely.

 

[Josh5890]

Home from work. Is it fair to assume no US pre-orders?

 

[KevinG]

Home from work. Is it fair to assume no US pre-orders?

Correct assumption.

 

[sphinx]

Germany: Media Markt & Saturn have it for 99 EUR

We're half way there.

WOOOOAH Livin' on a prayer.

I don't think NOA actually wants pre-orders at all in this case. Same with the NES.

 

[Shiggy]

yeeess. Shiggy danke dir.

Hope you preordered also on Amazon UK as the German prices are all 20 EUR higher so far.

 

[Okami Haundo]

Ah... I pick up what you're putting down now! For me personally, the first party stuff is the most appealing part of the SNES classic.

 

[thecouncil]

I go on a week long vacation tomorrow.

And, whaddya know, there won't be any wi-fi or phone reception where I'm going.

Haha.


...

Uh oh.

 

[RedZaraki]

It's hilarious and sad that if Nintendo just like......made more of their product , that they would probably sell ten or 20 times as many of those products.


Money on the table.


WHY?


It's like they WANT this thing to be insanely hard to find.

 

[mazillion]

Hmmm at this point I feel like pre-orders for the US are going to start randomly weeks/months from now.

Edit: 100 pages of anxiety!

 

[480p]

They were both web only with the NES.
