Between the SNES Mini, the Metroid Special Edition, the Bayonetta and Metroid Amiibo the next weeks will be rough. Will be literally impossible to net preorders for everything I want.
I already missed out on two of the new Zelda Amiibos. ;_;

 

[MatrixMan.EXE]

Game is have an absolute mare. Getting a perpetual loading screen when I try to add to basket. Mess.

 

[Blues1990]

a mini gamecube will look so cute

 

[Voliko]

yeah I think not having Chrono and DKC2 are huge holes in the selection

 

[DanielJr82]

I want this for my classroom!!

 

[Square2015]

Kirby Super Star Deluxe and Kirby's Dream Course; so cool to see those, genuinely and pleasantly surprised by those picks.

 

[Chirotera]

Let the games begin.

May the odds be ever in your favor.

 

[Twilight Princess]

Hmm, perhaps the box will be in German but the games in English? Not 100% sure about that since I'm Dutch and we usually got untranslated games there in those days while Germany in many ways seem to have more advanced localization. For what it's worth, my Dutch bought NES Classic had multiple EU languages on the box including English while the games were exclusively in English.

Thanks, as long as the shell doesn't have german on it I'm good. I will probably put na innards in an eu or jpn shell.

 

[superdeluxe]

Haha that's a good idea. Just turned on notifications for him on Tweetbot!

Is there a way to only be notified with certain words?

 

[Barrel Cannon]

Holy megaton. I was not expecting that calibre of titles. I'll actually need to get one this time around unlike the NES mini which I had little need for

 

[Moose84]

Did amazon.co.uk / other outlets open pre-orders for a second run for the NES mini?

 

[BumRush]

Any tweets or anything from NOA on Preorder availability / time in US?

 

[galvatron]

Starfox 2 is the only thing on the system that I don't already have and probably would have bought at some point. I'm sure it's aged poorly and I've played Starfox 64, so I'll pass on this one unless I've got insomnia on release night. I'm sure it'll make a nice gift.

 

[Ponn]

Nope, it sold out on amazon in like 7.9 seconds

Edit: right? I can't remember it was such a clusterfuck

Thats a preorder, thats pretty normal for most Nintendo preorders. It's not the stores fault they have limited supplies to offer, blame Nintendo.

Has the Metroid Special Edition gone up yet?

 

[Netherscourge]

I still have my Gamecube and all the games.

I even have the Nintendo Power bonus GC disc with Zelda, Link to the Past, OOT and MM on it.

 

[RRockman]

How old will I be when the mini wii comes out?

It's a scary thought.

 

[Not]

yeah I think not having Chrono and DKC2 are huge holes in the selection

Yeah, if DKC2 was on there I'd be like the rest of you, refreshing Amazon

 

[Square2015]

yeah I think not having Chrono and DKC2 are huge holes in the selection

Agreed, the greatest RPG ever and the most perfect 16-bit platformer ever missing.

 

[Josh5890]

Yea, only have DKC 1 but not the other two is a head scratcher

 

[ajjow]

Shit, starfox 2 is a contender fof game of the year.

2017 is oneof the best gaming years of the centery

 

[Jigolo]

How old will I be when the mini wii comes out?

It's a scary thought.

It already came out

 

[Zero83]

What I want is a great, healthy Virtual Console on Switch. I don't want lots of consoles under my TV, I want to play all Nintendo games on one platform. Right now, I fear Nintendo have killed off VC alltogether.

That said, this look like a great product at a very reasonable price.

 

[Fuzzy]

Yes, $100 CDN. Fair price, IMO.

Cheaper than the US conversion.

 

[Raitaro]

It's a damned shame that Super Mario All Stars (Mario World edition) wasn't selected over vanilla Mario World.

I loved the multiplayer battle mode.

Indeed. That custom SMW Luigi sprite needs more love!

 

[MoneyLaunderer]

Preordered the EU version. I love that design. Hoping it doesn't get canceled since I'm in the US, but we'll see. Going to preorder the US version (when possible) just to be safe. If not canceled, I'll sell my US version to a friend for retail. F a scalper.

 

[WhatsintheBox]

i feel like I've been waiting for days lol

 

[ElMexiMerican]

Hopefully I'll be able to get a pre-order in for it when it pops up. It took me so many months to get the NES Classic, and that was by sheer luck. Also very pleased this includes two controllers so my friends and I can easily play together!

Why would they do that to a good money maker? It's true that they usually drop the ball when it comes to selling these things, but I don't think VC is dead, especially if it's part of their online subscription thing

Except that VC games are coming with their online service.

 

[Nazo]

Oh, cool thing I want and will never be able to buy because of scalpers and Nintendo not liking to actually manufacture enough to meet demand for some reason.

Thanks Nintendo

 

[Yazzees]

Lack of DKC2 kills it for me. Well, that and the fact that I've been done playing Nintendo's games for quite a while, video and otherwise.

 

[RRockman]

It already came out

Oh crap you're right!

I completely forgot about that red thing.

It didn't have a disk drive right?

I definitely get where you are coming from. Having these systems come out makes me wonder what Nintendo is going to do with the virtual console going forward.

 

[SplitYourInfinities]

Amazon UK pls, cancel the pre-orders for US people already.

 

[ShiftaDeband]

Man, I can't lie. Getting that second controller was crazy lucky. For some reason, I bought that before the actual console. I didn't think they'd be that rare honestly.

 

[Username1198]

I would have liked to see ken Griffey jrs baseball. That game was dope.

 

[iFirez]

It already came out

And it looked like a LaCie hard drive in red.

 

[doctorcdcs]

please don't do that amazon

i'm in canada, but still.. noooo amazonnnn

 

[Dark Cloud]

Amazon UK pls, cancel the pre-orders for US people already.

Why are you so spiteful?

 

[moltonasty]

But it's a pretty bad version of 4 :/

I can't believe I managed to get a pre-order on Amazon UK. I feel blessed by the Holy Nintendo Spirit

Don't get your hopes up yet, we'll probably all get our pre-orders cancelled lol

 

[Square2015]

Did we ever get total shipped/sales figures for the NES classic?

 

[Tall Paul]

God dammit!! Literally only just found out about this, the hunt is on!

 

[zewone]

I go to have a late dinner and when I get back the Amazon UK link went up and down in that time, well that's just great, lol.

I have a feeling all the people in the US who ordered from here will get their orders cancelled.

 

[mazillion]

IGN said Nintendo told them 2.3 mil

 

[Calm Mind]

Nearly a 50 page thread in less than 5 hours. The hype is legit.

Get a second job

 

[Rosstimus]

Star Fox 2 is rad, but only Donkey Kong Country and no DKC2??

 

[WhiteRabbitEXE]

And they never will.

Ex-fucking-actly.

Just over-produce these damn things, for once. Make them spill off the shelves everywhere you look. Let people have something nice for once. Kids ain't getting online pre-orders within minutes, or camping overnight outside a Target in September, or getting their parents to pay $400 to scalpers. Neither are the tons of casual folks who would buy these things. I would have loved for my friends and my dad to have an NES Classic, and despite trying constantly it never happened (because while I'm willing to line-up outside, I draw the line well before the 4-8 hours that were required).

Spoiler

Yes, I know it's unreasonable for Nintendo to deliberately over-produce. But I'm a consumer, not Nintendo, so I can wish for things that are in my interest, rather than a corporations.

 

[Tall Paul]

I love staring at game's spinning loading screen...your not loading...your not even trying you bitch!
