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

 

[eot]

I don't even like Nintendo shit but I might try to get one just for Super Metroid

 

[Josh5890]

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

37

 

[Hazzuh]

Why are you so spiteful?

Why is it spiteful? People from the US are stopping people from the UK getting it, its a zero sum game.

 

[Lasthope106]

I spent a pretty penny to get these games:

Now all I have to do is get my hands on an SNES, and I will have a fairly complete collection.

IGN said Nintendo told them 2.3 mil

Is that good?

 

[LiK]

Ex-fucking-actly.

Just over-produce these goddamn 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.

Hence why I call them clueless.

2.3 Million I believe

 

[ElMexiMerican]

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.

Same, but I guess in retrospect it makes sense since they probably produced less of those than actual NES Classics, and of course everyone's gonna want a second controller to play with their friends. Glad that Nintendo seems to be trying to improve on the criticisms of the NES Classic for this.

 

[Living the Dream]

Is that good?

Could have easily been 10m

 

[Twilight Princess]

Ya, cancel the us preorders!!!

 

[Username1198]

Nintendo HAS to up production for the snes classic after seeing what happened to the nes!!

Right????

 

[Netherscourge]

Is that good?

They sold every single unit they made.

So, yea - that's good.

 

[ProtomanNeo]

Excited, but wondering about the music and sfx emulation. Will it sound exactly like the snes

I agree for once it would be nice to just have these readily available in stores.

I wonder how many SNES classics they'll produce if they made 2.3 Million units of the NES Classic.

My guess is you won't see cancellations until it actually launches. What's to stop a US resident from changing the delivery address to something in the UK or Europe? If they cancel I'd bet on it being then. Proxies, a family member, friend or w/e could step in to take delivery and send it themselves.

Perhaps unlikely, but not impossible.

 

[Briarios]

It's spiteful because it's basically, "Someone got something I didn't, so I don't want them to have it."

It's not the people purchasing the units fault that Nintendo never makes enough. Complain to them, not the consumers.

 

[qko]

I'm wondering if this is a ploy from Nintendo to get scalpers attention on this instead of the Switch.

This is like when poor people vote Republican but blame all their problems on democrats and minorities

Yes. They're not telling by how much though.

Those bring back memories. I remember when these cost were about half to a quarter of what they are now.

 

[MisterHero]

Is that good?

Depends on how much they profited; probably not much.

I'm gonna buy an SNES mini and an EU S. Famicom Mini!

 

[lobdale]

Amazon please cancel the UK preorders so people from the US have another crack at em

 

[Jetman]

GAF you've played all of these games on VC already. What's to get excited about, except for Star Fox 2. (And so Nintendo has been sitting on a translated port for Star Fox 2 this whole time? Fuck them. >_< )

 

[Spukc]

And it looked like a LaCie hard drive in red.

Nice fake &#129315;

Nail on the head.

Despite how all the feedback and interviews nintendo got on the NES classic... it's going to be a shitshow.

 

[EmCeeGramr]

Star Fox 2 was never officially released. It is a 2017 release and eligible for all game of the year awards. Let the takes commence.

star fox 2 confirmed gaf goty eligible

So, yea - that's good.

I mean in meeting customer demand.

I've never played them, except for Final Fantasy VI. I was a Genesis kid and never got around to using VC with my (now dead) Wii.

At most, the number of votes it gets is limited by the number of these things that sell. Nintendo sell a lot classics and this will be a great GOTY ( on gaf )

 

[Yarbskoo]

Dear Nintendo:

Your amiibo are out of stock.

Your Switch is out of stock.

Take your limited edition consoles and fuck off.

Thank you.

 

[Falchion]

This pre-order rush is going to be crazy. Doesn't seem like a lot of games for $80 though.

Damn right it's eligible.

It better get it's own Metacritic page too!

This, but only if I don't get one. If I do then ily Nintendo

 

[BGBW]

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

Unlike the NES, there's lots of SNES games that could have easily been part of this collection.

Pilotwings is also an odd omission considering it was one of the early demos of Mode7.

 

[RRockman]

This thread is glistening gold.

~$4 a game isn't too bad, considering you're also getting an extra controller.

 

[iFirez]

If only it was fake... if only.

That's me crying into all the money I'm not spending on Nintendo hardware.

At least you aren't telling the US people to fuck off.

I'm specifically excited to play the proper version of Yoshi's Island. That, with all the RPGs I love, is worth it.
