I was a couple years too young to get big into the NES so this is super tempting. If they make a SNES one I'm there on release night.

Anyone get this at Gamestop last night/this morning? There's one down the street from my office, I might sneak out on my lunch break and see if they have any. I think there's a Target around here somewhere too. univbee posted:At least we can still get our SNES games on our Classic Wii- Oh poo poo, I've actually been wondering for a couple years when they were going to shut this down. I'm a weirdo who still has his Wii plugged in, I should check and see if there's anything else I want to download.

Struck out at Target, Gamestop, and a Toys-R-Us that I forgot existed near my office (in south Jersey). Could take the long way home from work to check Best Buy but I'm guessing that if I can't get one at 1 PM then I definitely can't get one at 5 PM.

Orange Crush Rush posted:I chatted up a few people waiting in line at the Walmart and everyone seemed pretty excited to play SFII/Megaman X/FF3/SMRPG/whatever the gently caress else. So unless everyone there was lying through their teeth, everyone there just wanted to keep it. I want one so I can finally dump my actual SNES hardware guilt-free. Pretty much any game I've wanted to revisit in my SNES collection is on the Mini. Now I just need to find one! E: I will be sad if/when I actually sell my FF3 cart though.

Did we get any confirmation on a restock date or time line so I can avoid rolling up to Best Buy every day like a weirdo?

FilthyImp posted:The Magical Quest starring Mickey Mouse. This game is dope and is maybe the one game in my SNES cartridge collection that I wish I was on this thing (and isn't already). It was one of the games that my parents got me when they first bought me my SNES and my mom claims that she played it a bunch when I wasn't around. I guess Mega Man 7 is on that list too but I already own another way to play it.

Also I remember loving Quest 64 as a kid but I'm scared to go back to it and see how dumb of a kid I was. I think I was just painfully starved of RPGs at that age.

Has anyone been able to pick this up in a store lately? I haven't done the brick & mortar rounds recently but I was in Target for something else yesterday and they still have display tags for the SNES Classic so I haven't given up hope of finding one in-store. Also they have NES Classic carrying cases if you're into that sort of thing.

More are supposedly being sent to stores but I've been checking a few different places a few times a week to no avail  I haven't received any instocknow alerts lately or whatever that site is called.I don't even want to hack it, I just want to play cool old two-player games with my wife. E: I probably need to start checking on my lunch break or something instead of on my way home from work, but the couple of times I tried the lunch break obviously didn't work either. But Target still has their display up so I haven't lost hope! C-Euro fucked around with this message at 22:11 on Oct 17, 2017 |

Solaris 2.0 posted:I think my biggest problem is I'm still getting used to 2D gaming. Which requires very precise controls and patience. Also, enemies will hit you and sometimes ain't nothing you can do. I didn't really start playing video games until I got an N64, so playing the SNES classic has been an entirely new experience. Hot take inbound: I've never felt that Super Metroid handles very well. Your jumping is really floaty and imprecise in nature but the way in which you react to damage is always very rigid and tough to get out from under if the hazard itself doesn't move away on its own. If I had to teach someone how to play 2D games I definitely would not recommend it. Mario World, Mega Man X and Kirby Super Star are all on the Classic and have much better platforming IMO.

Gameko posted:As one of the seeming minority who hasn’t managed to score one of these yet, I’d like to say that stock problems are still a thing. I'm still looking too (South Jersey near Philadelphia). Went into Target near my office yesterday and they said that they had 15 come in last week, which sounds insane to me. They told me that they usually get large shipments on Fridays and told me to call back this morning...and then told me to call back Tuesday/Wednesday when I did call  I got a Wii at the height of its scarcity by just walking into a Best Buy so I continue to have faith. But boy is it annoying. E: I might just start rolling up to Target at 8 AM when they open up, I'd only have to adjust my commute a little bit.

Does an alert that Gamestop has them in-stock online imply that they are getting shipments into stores, or are the two not that closely linked?

Freaking Crumbum posted:this is a question I've been trying to answer. I've got an actual SNES console and a small pile of games (maybe ~20 cartridges?) and now that I've got the mini, I'm conflicted over what to do with the original. my inner nerd wants to keep everything in the event that the mini breaks or for some other outlandish scenario where I would conceivably need the original console again, but I'm also trying to be rational about it and it's just sitting in a pile in the guest room closet. I want a Classic specifically so that I can finally part with my SNES collection guilt-free. The Classic already has every game that I both own in cart form and would potentially want to re-visit, and with all of the modding trip reports being posted in here it sounds like I can put the other stuff that I own onto it if I want. I'm gonna be real sad when I part with my FF3 cart though... Funnily enough, my wife has been a big proponent of me hanging onto all of this stuff. She's not a gamer by any definition but keeps asking me if I wouldn't rather hang onto my SNES/N64 to show our eventual children what games were like in our childhood. I don't think most TVs even have the red-yellow-white AV cable outlets anymore and I can't be arsed to figure out what adapters I need to make those consoles work on newer TVs.

Freaking Crumbum posted:this right here is the main reason why keeping the original console is becoming an exercise in futility for me. I still have an older Samsung HD-LCD from 2006 that has coaxial and composite and S-video inputs, but I don't think those inputs have been included on new tvs since at least 2010, so when my old tv finally bites it, I won't even be able to play the original hardware any more (and gently caress paying money for an old tube tv). I have a Sony LCD from 2010 that still has all of those, but I recently picked up an LG flat-screen from 2013 that has composite but that I think is missing everything older than that. I still have my Wii because I can play GameCube games on it without having to shell out big bucks for a GameCube composite cable

XtraSmiley posted:OK, it's been a while, can I walk into a Target yet and get these? Are they done sending them our way or are more on the way? Toys-R-Us got a nationwide re-stock literally yesterday, my store had 20 units. I also think Target is going to start selling these online Nov. 1st for people who have their in-store credit card. Don't buy it from a scalper, and definitely don't buy it from one that's selling it for > $100. Restocks are happening, have faith!

I briefly dipped into several different games the first weekend that I got this, but the ones that I've been focusing on are SMW and Super Metroid. SMW I played the gently caress out of as a kid, but the only other time I played Super Metroid was six or seven years ago and I honestly hated it. Playing it this time has been way better though, I'm not sure what changed other than now having some familiarity with the game. Probably going to do FF3 once I finish those, it's one of my favorite games ever but I haven't played through it in a long time.

Honestly I don't know if I'm going to mod mine, or at least I won't be doing so for a while.

Are we still taking opinions on a hypothetical N64 Classic? Because despite playing the hell out of that console growing up, I don't think I'd want to go back to it primarily because the draw of that system was 4-person local multiplayer with the gang, and in present day I don't think I have any friends around here who would come over for that. On top of that the single-player games I'd consider going back to (Mario 64, both Zelda games) are already easily available elsewhere. Conversely, the SNES has a lot of amazing single-player games several of which I never had growing up. This whole post is a secret cry for help re: having real-life friends to play games with

RCarr posted:Believe it or not most people don't still have their old gang from middle school coming over to play video games with them. Give me an N64 Classic with built-in online multiplayer and maybe we can get something going. An outdated online experience for an outdated console. VV On the one hand doing N64 multiplayer without split screen is wrong on so many levels, but at the same time doing it online and letting each player have a full screen would solve pretty much every problem with split screen multiplayer.
