Why does Nintendo always do this? Make enough of your products ffs
Did Amazon US already sell them all out? I know it was today, just not sure what time

A magical game.
One of the best gridiron (I called it that for your sake) games ever made.
Video meth.
All of the above, really.
Amazon US goes live at 2PM PST, so in about 33 minutes from now.
See the very beginning of the OT. 35 mins.
Tecmo is the company that made the game. Bowl is similar to a final cup match. It didn't have the NFL license but it had the NFL players license so it was the closest thing to Madden on NES at the time.
Good because I worked overnight and couldn't be bothered to wait around until 10 AM

It is a total mystery to me why Namco always uses their inferior port rereleasing Ms. Pac.

Wait... I have to buy extension cords for the controllers if I want to play? Fuck this. Who's the retard behind that brilliant design choice?

only if u don't want to sit extremely close to the system
The alternative is to use long HDMI and USB power cords, keep the system next to you, and then you don't need the controller extensions.
This is a new kind of device for Nintendo. They couldn't be sure if it would be a major hit; it could have flopped. Were they supposed to make millions more of them that would only end up in a landfill if they failed to sell?
If you're a company like Nintendo, you make a conservative guess at demand that's on the low end, you make that many, and then if the demand is high, you make more. Consumers may be disappointed in the short term, but the alternative if things go the other way would be far more financially ruinous for you.
That black/silver NES Classics shirt is awesome. Do they sell that online or only in the NY store?

It is 2pm, where's the link?
Link in the OP was supposed to be the right one but evidently this ended up (briefly) being a more reliable one, may want to still try it:

Got a controller. Said third party sellers only but clicked to that and it showed 9.99 with amazon as the seller.

Having never owned an NES before, Im happy with this release as a whole, but it's definitely gonna take some time for me to get used to the infamous "Nintendo Hard" levels of difficulty for these games. The games play very well and look crisp on all HDtv's Ive tried. I still wish the device also supported composite, and that the cords werent so laughably short, but those issues may be fixable with additional purchases.

I'm finding I quite like the CRT filter. It may be a bit gimmicky but it ties in with the nostalgia trip nicely for me.

Drat, I was refreshing the page all this time.

NVM, LegendofLex and PAULINK and Minions clued me in, sorry all:
"We're sorry. The item Nintendo NES Controller - NES is no longer available from the seller you selected. To see if it's available from another seller, click here to return to the item's product detail page."

The rush on the classic reminds me of Amazon BF mega console deals and how those are instantly gone. I only saw the NES classic up through Dryvby's link for a split second.
Very sorry to those who were not able to get it. Hopefully restocks will happen soon.

Wow. Even all of Amazon's web services and storage tech can't stop shoppers from killing the site for the NES. Lol
Hooked this up at lunch at work and played a few games. The emulation seemed perfect and controllers exactly as I remember. I'm impressed.
With the USB power and short controller cables it's perfect on the work desk. I'm not sure how I'm going to set this up at home. I'll probably just end up sitting on the floor.

It has 30 built in games out of a library of almost 600+. I probably have 100+ NES games in storage. Just wondering if this could have played them. I mean I get it is a mini but I haven't really followed much and saw the game port design on front. Didn't know it was just for show. Oh well. Still a good deal to play a lot of these most popular games.

It's not a NES it's a new hardware.
I'm famous! Business Insider interviewed me this morning at the Nintendo Store but all that made it in is a pic of my ass. You're welcome 😗

Think would have been cool to throw in the NES Remix challenges as a bonus.
Anyhow not sure if this or the other thread works, but went to Nintendo NY to pick it up and wanted to share some pics.
The line which I was actually surprised by since they already had a midnight launch, but I guess word on it has spread quickly. Few folks behind me were on line because they heard it sold out across the city.
An NES Classics shirt that I really wanted, but was 30 bucks and was picking up the classic... and this shirt won my heart...
And this is the NES Exhibit/Display have set-up for the console's launch
I wonder if this is gonna be another Wii situation where they would receive an inventory of 100 units daily. While every other retailer remained OoS for weeks.
I would have loved tecmo nba basketball instead, the best nba game on the nes.

I started playing Mega Man 2 and couldn't remember the optimal level order.
I was going to look it up, but then I remembered that I have a copy of the Mega Man 2 Worlds of Power book by F.X. Nine - '90s kids will remember those because they were novelizations of famous NES games (I have Ninja Gaiden, Shadowgate, Bases Loaded, and Metal Gear along with MM2).
I also remembered that the book has game tips at the ends of chapters, and one of the tips is that the order in which Mega Man beats the other robot masters in the book is the optimal way to do it in the game.
So I'm reading a chapter in the book and then beating the level for that chapter in the game. NOSTALGIA OVERLOAD.

Ah damn, my girlfriend just asked me the other day if she should get me one of these for Christmas and I said it'd be a good idea. I didn't realize I was dooming her to holiday shopping hell trying to get one.
I guess I'll have to get her something really nice to make up for it.

Oops...my first game attempt was punch out.
Wow Final Fantasy is worth the price I paid for this alone.
Awesome.

Probably a dumb question.
Can the NES Classic be powered through one of my PS4's USB ports?
