I ordered 2 from UK distributors. It's a shame I'm not a fan of the design, otherwise I'd be more excited. Oh well.

 

[colui]

I'll just do the same thing I did with the NESC.
I will stroll into my go-to videogames store and have this conversation:
-"Hey, will you get the SNES Classic?"
."Yeah"
-"Can you put one aside for me?"
."Sure"

I'll go back a week later and get my console at launch for the normal retail price.

 

[Megatron]

Evil part of me kinda wants to see them cancelled so people actually in the UK can get more preorders in.

I think there's a strong chance this happens at least with certain retailers (game)

This really isnt necessary.

 

[AllBusinessJr]

What an absolute tragedy the US SNES is. At least I can get something that isn't an eyesore this time and go with the European one.

Take it back.

Everything is salt down here.

 

[TTBurger88]

If Nintendo allowed the XBL for Minecraft on Switch. I think Nintendo could ask MS for some of the Rare titles for N64 mini.

 

[reelbigtink]

I'm fully expecting them to cancel our (US) pre-orders on Amazon UK. Don't be too angry at us.

 

[Zafir]

UK GAF, Nintendo UK Store will almost certainly put up pre-orders tomorrow. They had a nice free NES controller key chain with the NES Classic. They'll probably have something like that again.

I've noticed they tend to put up their pre-orders between 2pm-4pm. I'll post here if I see it first. They don't deliver outside of the UK, so I think anyone from UK who missed the current pre-orders will have more of a chance.

Yeah I'm hoping to get a pre-order in.

I wish Nintendo would buck their ideas up. It's ridiculous people from across the globe have to go to such inordinate lengths to pre-order their products, and even worse means other people miss out on it.

Bummer it doesn't have NBA Jam.

 

[JakeD]

How is this possible? Is there a way to get a notification when they are listed on amazon?

They told us ahead of time. it was going up at 6pm on release day. Everyone f5d their heads off and a couple people got lucky

 

[ToonLink]

Not so sure it will be tomorrow as they've only just put up register your interest email sign-ups. Who knows though?!

Got two. One from GAME (ah) and Amazon (yay)

I managed to pre-order the NES Classic from them last year. Amazon went up a few hours after the announcement. The Nintendo UK Store had their pre-orders up the next day. So I'm assuming it'll be the same again. Amazon situation has been the same, at least.

Yeah I'm hoping to get a pre-order in.

Yeah, I agree. Hopefully they're not exaggerating about making a lot more stock this time.

 

[7roject28]

So this is why no VC announcement. Also only being produced til the end of this year? You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the scalper.

 

[Skyfireblaze]

Was this already available on amazon.de today? o.o

 

[Shadax the wizard]

Five feet instead of three feet for the NES

It's 5 ft. The Classic was 3 ft.

Sounds all right.

CDON have it up, but not for preorder yet. Just "Watch".

Ok, thanks!

 

[Living the Dream]

Bummer it doesn't have NBA Jam.

It'll be hacked in

 

[LiK]

nah

 

[Hopeford]

What an absolute tragedy the US SNES is. At least I can get something that isn't an eyesore this time and go with the European one.

I admit that the US SNES might be ugly as sin, but it's the abomination I grew up with and therefore it's cute and endearing and I WANNA I WANNA I WANNA

 

[Midas]

Haha, preorders causing emotions.

 

[Blam]

Was this already available on amazon.de today? o.o

nope not yet only UK so far.

 

[Rickenslacker]

Take it back.

You can't look at what the rest of the world got and be happy with that boxy POS.

 

[MulderYuffie]

star fox 2!!! oh boi

 

[the anime man]

I was lucky enough to get an NES classic. I hope to get this too...

 

[WhiteRabbitEXE]

I'm honestly pissed off with the US peeps here. Seriously, fuck you.

Be pissed at NOA, not us. We want this just as much as you, you really expect us to not try and pre-order? They'll probably all be canceled and put back up for order anyway.

 

[Eggiem]

Was this already available on amazon.de today? o.o

Nope.

 

[ArtificialIntelligence]

Was this already available on amazon.de today? o.o

AFAIK it hasn't show up on Amazon.de yet

 

[Heavy Iron Industries]

The magic of Nintendo at work.

Let's hope so for those who have yet to get one!

 

[Mega Man's Electric Sheep]

I own 15 of the 21 games on virtual console (all but SF2T, Contra 3, Super G&G, FF3 and obviously the starfoxes) and I would still totally buy one if I ever saw it, but I doubt I ever will

 

[TTBurger88]

Bummer it doesn't have NBA Jam.

Yea I think it was due to licencing reasons for no NBA Jam

Welp. See you soon.

 

[mrmickfran]

That would be nice, but not necessary. Here's a quick list of games that they could use. The only Rare games here are ones Nintendo still has the rights to (Donkey Kong games).

1080° Snowboarding
Diddy Kong Racing
Donkey Kong 64
Excitebike 64
F-Zero X
Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards
Mario Kart 64
Mario Party
Paper Mario
Pilotwings 64
Pokemon Snap
Star Fox 64
Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire
Super Mario 64
Super Smash Bros.
Tetrisphere
The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Wave Race 64
Yoshi's Story

Look I see your point, but IF it had Rare support it would also have:

Banjo-Kazooie
Banjo-Tooie
Blast Corps
Killer Instinct Gold
Jet Force Gemini

I doubt Conker and Perfect Dark would be there just so they can avoid an M rating.

If they took 3rd party support, I would easily add Mischief Makers.

EDIT: Oh shit, GOLDENEYE

 

[javac]

lol, preorders were up for a while. besides, we might get canceled anyway. go yell at someone else.

"A while", more like 3 hours, which isn't a lot of time for people actually working, socialising and doing things removed from a computer, not everyone can F5 Amazon all day.

 

[outunderthestars]

If Nintendo allowed the XBL for Minecraft on Switch. I think Nintendo could ask MS for some of the Rare titles for N64 mini.

This. There is business to be done. MS would surely entertain the idea...

 

[Dark Cloud]

So this is why no VC announcement. Also only being produced til the end of this year? You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the scalper.

Maybe they want to end it at the end of the year and then announce VC for Switch at the beginning of 2018?

 

[Shotgun Kiss]

I hope Amazon UK cancel all US orders.

Don't get me wrong; I hope you guys manage to get hold of one, but not at the expense of us here in the UK.

 

[indask8]

Already gone from amazon uk ? That was fast.

 

[MrCunningham]

Haha, preorders causing emotions.

Yup, were in a Nintendo hardware release thread.

Thank you.

 

[moltonasty]

An N64 one would be rough. So many of that console's standout games were either licensed or made by Rare.

Plus Minecraft crossplay with XB1 and Switch

Rare games would b unlikely maybe, but certainly not impossible

 

[kingslunk]

I hope Amazon UK cancel all US orders.

[Jay Sosa]

I'm honestly pissed off with the US peeps here. Seriously, fuck you.

first of all, language.

second: their preorders will most likely get cancelled anyway, if that makes you happy.

 

[carlos]

Tetris Attack is just Panel de Pon, just call it that (ie Mr Dreams Punch Out) and call it a day.

I know, but that would require modifying roms and coding, which is something I don't think they want to do. It was just a dumb move to call it tetris attack in the first place, though I'm sure it sold more due to having the tetris moniker. So, umm maybe it wasn't a dumb move back then.

 

[Okami Haundo]

I'm still trying to figure out where the controllers are gonna plug in?! It sure doesn't look like the Wii port that we saw on the NES Classic. Can I dream that they'll just be USB controllers?

Are they secretly wireless controllers and Nintendo is trolling us?

 

[Bert]

Oi! Can you wankers not take all the UK stock because you can't be bothered to wait? Some of us are waiting til pay day to buy this

 

[SimpleCRIPPLE]

I'm honestly pissed off with the US peeps here. Seriously, fuck you.

You're welcome to snatch up one of our ugly versions when they're available.

But really, there's a solid chance that the US preorders will be cancelled by Amazon UK, so just hang in there and enjoy the salt when our dreams are crushed.

 

[xDUMPWEEDx]

I'm honestly pissed off with the US peeps here. Seriously, fuck you.

why?

 

[LowSignal]

I'll get one no matter what, I still have a sealed NES classic that I haven't gotten to play yet but I really want to own this.
