Support NeoGAF

[Moofers]

I'm all over this motherfucker. I'm really glad to see them packing in two controllers this time.

I guess we better prepare for another painful experience trying to secure one of these things?

...And so my watch begins.

 

[spectator]

WHEN IS THIS SHIT GOING UP FOR PREORDER?!?!

The 12th of never.

 

[Anoregon]

No Chrono Trigger, no buy.

I'd feel more strongly about its absence if I didn't have the DS version. Like, I'd be more bummed if it had CT but didn't have FF3(6), since that game doesn't have a recent release with classic graphics.

 

[kbohs]

Star Fox 1/2 and Yoshi's Island better mean we finally get Super FX games on Switch Virtual Console.

I will riot otherwise.

 

[BronsonLee]

I would like to officially offer my condolence to everyone not able to get a SNES Classic because you will never ever ever ever be able to

 

[alr1ght]

That's alot of good games.

Hopefully the cord is longer than my forearm this time.

 

[DeMeester]

I hope it's the same package in Europe (games-wise) .

 

[thechristoph]

Hell yeah!

But.

No Chrono Trigger, no Super Contra.

Super Contra is literally the first game listed....

I owned or had regular access to every game on this list but Punch Out and Earthbound. But I need this! I need an HDMI SNES. Especially if it is hackable.

 

[Indelible]

This is a day one buy if I can manage a pre-order, I gotta play Star Fox 2.

 

[Tribes of Trusty]

Day one for superior European SNES.

I also hope we can mod it like the NES Classic. That would be pretty amazing.

 

[Timeaisis]

Square licenses three of their biggest and best selling SNES RPGs but doesn't license Chrono Trigger...

Meaning they are remaking Chrono Trigger, obviously.

 

[Rellik]

WHERE IS EU ??

We better get the superior SNES again

 

[moltonasty]

Honestly tho with the insane library the SNES has, 21 games is skimp AF.

 

[Dehnus]

Launches September 29th for $79.99.

Press release and list of games:

Scalpers, prepare your scripts.

3...2....1...STAR REFRESHING!

 

[OmegaSmash]

But is it the supposedly fully completed Star Fox 2? Would be huge if true.

 

[Keinning]

take kirby dream course out and put goof troop and maybe i'll consider buying it (just consider because the damn thing is probably already sold out by now)

 

[decoyplatypus]

God damn. Throw in DKC2/3, CT, and Turtles in Time, you have a very good approximation of the SNES games I have played almost every summer for the past 20 years.

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

Hopefully this means the Super FX games can be released on Virtual Console in their original forms.

I'm looking at you, Yoshi's Island.

 

[AuthenticM]

Why does it have so few games? Where is Donkey Kong Country 2 and 3?

 

[Stabby McSter]

my friend and i had the same reaction

"wait what the fuck star fox 2?"

i thought it was funny

 

[deleted]

This is pretty much perfect for me!

Hopefully they don't change out Mario RPG for some other game in Europe...
And they'll include Dream Course! Nice!!
Final Fantasy III btw is IV or V?

Edit: Hopefully we can preorder soon, I want one ASAP!

 

[Burning Justice]

Didn't care much about the NES Classic, but really want this. Hopefully I'll actually be able to get one...

 

[forknknife]

Why didn't I buy Nintendo stock, why!?

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

This thing is gonna fly off the shelves. Nintendo is onto something. They keep saturating the market with their products

 

[Stoof]

How the fuck did they not get Chrono Trigger on this? And is this FF3 or FF6 we're talking about?

 

[TheDinoman]

The lack of Chrono Trigger, Mega Man X/X2, and Donkey Kong Country 2 definitely hurt the desire to want this. Mario All-Stars would have been a decent inclusion as well

The first X is in there.

 

[Vanillalite]

So is this another reason why VC hasn't launched on Switch yet? To not compete with this?

 

[TheJollyCorner]

As far as Nintendo first party games, the lack of Pilotwings, Super Tennis, and SimCity is a huge disappointment for me.

Surprised ActRaiser didn't make the cut, either.

 

[FinaruDensetsu]

Where the hell is Chrono Trigger?! They could have used this opportunity to bring Terranigma to the US as well!

 

[bastardly]

I wonder if they'll release SF2 on VC down the road they have to right?

 

[Tempy]

Great list of games.

 

[talkingood]

How long is the controller cord.

This is the real question. Hopefully they don't screw this part up and can actually produce more than a few of these consoles.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

So this explains why we don't have VC games yet.

 

[sinonobu]

Getting this no matter what the price is lol

 

[JoeBoy101]

Just skimmed the thread, so sorry if answered: when will this be available for pre-order?

If you have to ask, its already too late.

I'm hoping they learned their lesson with the NES and actually put a good few out there, but I'm not optimistic.

 

[brinstar]

snes yoshis island, fuck

my hands are tied

 

[Tripon]

 

[-shadow-]

What?!

 

[Gormless Noodle]

I'm mostly interested in what they're going to do to avoid the stock problems experienced with the NES Classic. I think everyone besides the scalpers would agree that was some proper bullshit.

Knowing Nintendo, absolutely nothing. So you better be on the pre-order hunt from the moment it's available, or you'll never see one.

 

[Cepheus]

Damn, this looks good. I didn't want the NES Classic, but I'll happily buy this to support the Mother series in the West. If they release an EU version. Also, Star Fox 2

 

[Handsome Ralph]

This is awesome. Now I hope they actually make enough to meet demand.

 

[thelatestmodel]

i wonder what the stock situation is going to be for this.

Fucking hell on earth. It's a scalper's dream come true.

Thankfully I already have my Super Famicom setup on the CRT, but good luck to anyone trying to get one of these.

 

[C.Olimar788]

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

 

[kc44135]

Damn, I almost kinda want onw, lol. What are the odds we see Star Fox and Yoshi's Island on the Switch Virtual Console I wonder?

 

[Charles Brandon]

This is pretty much perfect for me!

Hopefully they don't change out Mario RPG for some other game in Europe...
And they'll include Dream Course! Nice!!
Final Fantasy III btw is IV or V?

it's VI

 

[themagicalkitsune]

Hopefully this means the Super FX games can be released on Virtual Console in their original forms.

I'm looking at you, Yoshi's Island.

Nah, Nintendo's probably like "No VC anymore. Just buy a console from our Classic series."

 

[Zutrax]

If this thing is poorly stocked, has no way to be pre-ordered, and I can never get one. Gods help you Nintendo.

I got an NES Classic, but I would gladly give that up in a heartbeat for the SNES Classic.

 

[SatoAilDarko]

I called $80 for around 20 games.

 

[Skab]

Holy shit. Hope I can manage to get one :/

 

[Ourobolus]

How the fuck did they not get Chrono Trigger on this? And is this FF3 or FF6 we're talking about?

FF6 - FF3 was an NES game.
