univbee posted:I'm also not terribly optimistic the "in-store" allotment of SNES Classics isn't going to be a colossal shitshow, Nintendo has done precious little to inspire confidence in this regard. I went to my local Best Buy for the Switch midnight release in a large city. I got there around 9:30 and was 47th in line; they had 50 Switches for sale at midnight. At least 50 people behind me in line had to leave empty-handed. I'd estimate at least 85% were actual Nintendo fans and 15% were either really nice parents or very obvious scalpers. I really don't know what to expect that ratio to be for SNES Classic; probably way more scalpers since the NES Classic has proven it's a pretty certain profit for resellers. enojy fucked around with this message at 22:29 on Aug 1, 2017 |

This is insane, a re-release of a nearly 30-year-old video game console is selling out in seconds and crashing major retailers websites. I wish it was because Nintendo is THAT AWESOME but really it's just good old fashioned greed.

BDawg posted:BGR says Amazon went live in the middle of the night. I had an alert set up for Amazon and got nothing. Yea, Best Buy went up first just after 1 AM EST. It was up for nearly 30 minutes. Amazon was at like 4 AM, also up for 30 minutes. The places that went live during normal non-nerd hours, though, got hosed. I also got no Amazon alert whatsoever; they changed the product page entirely. Best Buy's came through (via NowInStock but like 3-4 minutes later than someone posting about it in this thread.

titty fat pizza posted:Is standing outside of Toy r us for 3 days the only real chance at getting a SNES for retail if you missed out on the random unannounced preorders? If you can afford to lose the sleep, you're probably better off showing up early for a Best Buy midnight release (as long as they do a midnight release.) In my experience, scalpers generally don't bother with midnight releases, they just get up bright and early for store openings. I showed up to my Best Buy's Switch midnight release (in a heavily-populated college town) at like 10 PM and was like 42nd in line; they had 50 for sale. There's GameStop, too, who will almost certainly do a midnight release, but they always get way more traffic at midnight releases in my city. Odds seem worse there. enojy fucked around with this message at 19:36 on Aug 23, 2017 |

Even after playing the remastered N64 Zeldas on 3DS, which look and run better than the originals, I have no real desire for a N64 classic. I'm also that rare weirdo that didn't like Mario 64 at all, and since Goldeneye has a snowball's chance in hell in showing up, that knocks out pretty much everything potentially great to me. I did play a lot of 1080 Snowboarding, but that ship has long sailed with SSX being a way better game.

I kinda wish they had put Super SF2 on here instead of Turbo, but IIRC, Super took a graphics hit due to all the extra fighters on the cart. Man, I can't wait for this thing. I was a Sega kid growing up and decidedly middle class, so I never owned a SNES. I used to have my mom drive me to Service Merchandise to play their display unit all day.

Morby posted:Apparently Walmart will be giving people $25 if they cancel your SNES preorder? This is news to me. They cancelled one of mine from 8/25 and no dice. I'm interpreting that as this website claiming Walmart will give all the scalpers who had their multiple orders reduced down to one unit a $25 gift card. Which is both stupid and hilarious at the same time. "Sorry you weren't able to buy 50 of these from us and take advantage of people to the order of thousands of dollars in profit, here's a $25 gift card and go gently caress yourself."

I hope the SNES Classic is plentiful upon release (it won't be) and all these scalping pieces of poo poo who bought 30 of them successfully sell one for $250 and have to return the other 29 with a restocking fee resulting in a net loss (they won't and there's probably no restocking fee anyway)

[quote="“umalt”" post="“476704975”"] I’ve been seeing articles of people getting hands-on with the SNES Classic; and while I’m assuming there’s an embargo, has there been any word on the emulation quality? I’m not getting my hopes up too high, considering that I remember people saying that the NES was only okay, but the anticipation has me anxious. [/quote] I never got to try a NES Classic, but everything I read about its quality was that it was the best you could get outside of an actual NES. That probably applies to only the legitimate ROMs. Edit: here's direct footage of the EU console. Looks great to me, but be warned, this is that Nintendo fansite guy who says "hello you lovely people" and yeah just warning you. It's starting to hurt when I hear it. enojy fucked around with this message at 08:25 on Sep 24, 2017 |

ROCK THE HOUSE M.D. posted:I don't think they took preorders in stores, just online. You should be fine if you go to Best Buy I would think. They did take preorders for store pickup, if that's what you meant (mine is store pickup.) I don't know if their leaked allotment data includes those orders or not, though. I feel like it might, since the numbers are kinda weird (one of the screenshots was something like "271 units")

My Best Buy preorder is ready to be picked up tomorrow, granted they don't slyly sell my preorder (I doubt it.) Gonna pick that poo poo up as soon as the store opens just to be safe. If my Walmart preorder ships, I can probably pass that along to someone here at cost + shipping if anyone strikes out trying to find one tomorrow. I had it preordered for a friend who missed preorders, but we haven't talked a single time since then so best of luck buddy!

Lol apparently something like 30 kids & adults rushed the line of 150+ that had formed over the past week outside of the flagship NYC Nintendo store right before they handed out wristbands for a SNES Classic and a bunch of fights broke out. Also most of the line was scalpers according to the small handful of actual Nintendo fans there.

[quote="“triple sulk”" post="“476872761”"] The local count for the closest Walmart was 22 on BS I think but it looked like about ten people were in line, though it could have wrapped around the aisle and I didn’t notice. eBay prices go as low as 150-160 right now. It’s tempting to say gently caress it and buy one at that price instead of wasting time in line. They only make like 30-40 bucks at most at that price after eBay’s fees and shipping costs. [/quote] Don't be too quick to buy from eBay. Plenty of us here put in multiple preorders just to be safe (and contribute to the problem hohoho) and I wouldn't be surprised to see goons helping goons come tomorrow. I was down to pass on my 2nd preorder earlier, but my roommate's sister's birthday is next month and an SNES Classic is a no brainer gift for her. [quote="“Astro7x”" post="“476875280”"] Reading all these posts on various forums and twitter makes me really happy I got a pre-order and playing it right now. Like seriously, gently caress that 8 months of bullshit trying to get an NES Classic at MSRP and finally getting it on the Amazon Treasure Truck of all places. Of course, I bought the NES so close to the SNES that my wife is like “Um, didn’t you just buy one? What’s different about this new one? [/quote] Uhhh, TWICE the bits?

The funniest thing was when we were all checking out some bro came in (I live in a college town, and he for sure had been drinking) with a Manchester United shirt on and looked REALLY confused. He says, "you guys are all here for Fifa 18?" That happened to me when Dark Souls came out. I lived on campus that had a Gamestop in the commons area, and they did a midnight release. I showed up to nearly 100 students waiting outside the store, like wtf? This many people know that Dark Souls is gonna be the poo poo?

Jim Silly-Balls posted:Ok actual SNES Classic question not related to buying one: does anyone else's unit skip certain notes in the music? Super Mario world for instance skips some notes on the intro screen that runs after the Nintendo logo. You know, I could've sworn I heard the same thing; a single skipped note in the SMW intro music. I wasn't paying attention at the time but I'm sensitive to stuff like that, having played music/rhythm games at a high level for half of my life. Edit: just saw your video, oh no, it's nothing like that. No idea what would be causing that.

It's pretty incredible how well Donkey Kong Country aged, and what they were able to do with the original SNES hardware. Same goes for Yoshi's Island; going from Yoshi's Island to Super Mario World makes that impeccable game feel like Mario 1 in comparison. Walmart is still "preparing order" for my second one, which is looking like pretty bad news, because the friend I was going to give it to as a birthday present next month was playing mine last night and loving it, while fawning over the prospect of the Disney games being on there. enojy fucked around with this message at 10:47 on Oct 1, 2017 |
