I can't think of 10 N64 games I'd want to play.

I honestly can't think of any relevant 1st party titles missing. Yoshi Safari? Wario's Woods? They just didn't release a lot of bangers for the SNES.
Completely agree with you both. I think DKC 3 is essentially just as good as at least the first game, too. At least we have both SNW and Yoshi's Island!
& of those 10, most of them probably have had ports/remakes like both Zelda titles & Star Fox 64 or (arguably) better sequels like F-Zero & Smash Bros.
....& you're not gonna get a bunch, perhaps any, 3rd party stuff because you're not gonna get Rare titles (maybe aside from DK64) which would be the main 3rd party games people would want, nor get the licensing for something like Goldeneye.
I would argue Super Mario All-Stars, but that's really it. MAYBE Mario Paint but that would mean making a new mouse controller for ONE game.
A lot of what's left are licensed or require peripherals.

Once you remove games made by Rare that they probably can't access, I don't think you could feasibly get much more than 15 heavy-hitting n64 games unless they go deep into some licensed stuff.
I think Pilotwings and Super Soccer should be on there, they were pretty popular at launch when not much was out. SimCity too - I know it's not really theirs but they published it.
To each their own.
I always thought the JPN boxes were more futuristic, but when it comes to aesthetics, personal preference is above all.
As for games being in Japanese, that's honestly part of the appeal. As someone who grew up with that era, getting import games and playing them with menu translations (or just figuring it out with trial-and-error) is part of the charm.
Plus, Panel de Pon!
My wants are Smash TV and Gradius III.
Plus you'd really only have about 3 or 4 multiplayer games, assuming they went with the first 10 I listed. I made a post a while ago thinking a list of 10 to 15 games:
I'm still hoping they decide to go for a GB/C Classic next since I feel like there's more games to work with & not as many remakes/ports. I would love a GBA Classic, especially if they were able to get back Capcom, Konami, etc. for 3rd party support. Granted, most would probably be ports, but I wouldn't mind. I grew up with the GBA versions of stuff like SMB2 & SMB3.
Super Smash TV is a great 2P game

One more week! Can't wait to pick mine up 
.
.other than the color scheme being better, what else is superior about it compared to the NA model? Didn't the NA models have the concave buttons?
If I had to pick:
Getting the Obvious out of the way:
Ocarina of Time
Majora's Mask
Super Mario 64
Mario Kart 64
Donkey Kong 64
Kirby and the Crystal Shards
Starfox 64
Super Smash Bros.
F Zero X
Mario Party 2 and 3 (1 out for legal reasons)
Yoshi's Story
Pokemon Snap
Wave Race 64
Pilot Wings 64
Paper Mario
Mario Golf
Mario Tennis
Then third party games I'd like to see:
Star Wars Rogue Squadron
Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire
Doom 64
007: The World is not Enough
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater
And the Rare Games if Microsoft feels like being cool:
Banjo-Kazooie 1 and 2
Diddy Kong Racing
Golden Eye
Perfect Dark
Edit: Mortal Kombat 4 as well.

Just check it every day until launch, you'll probably find something eventually. It's likely too early for most stores.
The process worked last year for the NES Classic.

My Wal-Mart has 36 units ready for launch day. Thats vs. about 8-10 for NES Classic.This time last year So Nintendo ain't lying that they are boosting their numbers for the console.
That's great to know, thank you. Did you find out on brickseek or elsewhere?

Cancelled my preorder. Going to see if I can find someone selling just the controller a bit after launch.

I would expect Nintendo to sell the controllers individually.
Not to mention, the dual joystick gameplay translates well to the SNES controller. The face buttons do a great job of acting as a substitute d-pad on original hardware.

Why would they? Each unit comes with 2 controllers.
Unless Secret of Mana supports 3 players like the original somehow?
If he lives close enough to a BB store it should be possible to change to store pick up.

I don't think they would. I'm hoping people try to part out their systems to make more money, or maybe someone breaks their console but sells the accessories. I really only want the damn controller lol.

Buy the system, take one controller out of the box and sell it as new/unused with 1 controller for full price minus whatever you think the controller is worth.

I don't want to sell shit.

I think Resident Evil 2 has a good shot of being on the N64 Mini.

I am a little gutted that Final Fantasy II, SimCity, and Pilotwings aren't on the SNES. Those three were absolutely life-changing games for me. And no shmups when Axelay, Super R-Type, U.N. Squadron, and Gradius III were so notable on the system seems like a mistake.
But still, I can't fuckin' wait!

A mini N64, if it rendered the games at at least 480p 30fps, had HDMI out, and you could buy three extra controllers...
Would be the ultimate party machine.
N64 has only ever had 21 games released on both Virtual Consoles (in NA) with all but 3 or 4 of them being published by Nintendo. I would wager the number of games would be 10 to 15 tops. (Even if they somehow got Rareware games)
Frankly the N64 has a lot of issues Nintendo will have to deal with, so I wonder if they will push it down the line in favor of sticking with NES and SNES for a year, or instead doing a Gameboy Classic.

I checked my stuff on the site and it says delivered? But has a different date for when it is supposed to be here. Anyone else have this?

For those of us braving the lines, any tips on what time to arrive?
Considering Gradius is on the NES Mini, it does seem weird now that you mention it, but I guess there was other games that made "more sense" to appeal to a wider audience & the NES Mini probably needed a few more games to help pad it out.
...I am bummed that there's no shmups now that you brought it up. U.N. Squadron sadly didn't have a chance due to licensing (it's technically based on an anime/manga) but it would've been nice to have a shmup or two.

Target, yes? I have this too. The green progress line is bugged out. The actual status of mine is "Preparing to ship".

For the NES Classic release I got in line 4 hours before release and was #8 out of #10. With the increased units I'd say swing by 4 hours before and if it looks long jump in, otherwise go grab a bite at a fast food joint for awhile to kill time.
Pilotwings is the main game I was bummed about missing, and one of the snes games I come back to most often.

There are more games on the NES than on the SNES.
Also, what's with the awkward "End of the day" lead-in?

I've seen ones for the European model, from some time back even. One youtuber had it in his bedroom and did the full unboxing with fancy camera work and then played through the games. I posted it earlier in this thread. Edit: This

I'm hoping the build quality on the new SNES controllers are just as good as the old ones. Those were built to last.
Naked Snake

They should be. Weren't the NES Mini ones made in Germany or something? And from impressions I've heard all seem to say they felt identical to the original. I'm more excited about the controller than anything tbh, haha. I never had a SNES, and that controller looks like it feels good to use. I think it looks beautiful too,
the European/Japanese one

Maybe a dumb question, but does anyone know what framerate these games will run at?
