Is that some kind of shocking concept?

Those adapters would not make this 240p. It would probably come out as 480i.
480i is not how you want to see these games.
Why not just grab an NES? They're only $50 or so. Retro-Gaffers can help you with repairing anything wrong with it too. The library of the NES is the stuff of legends and I think every gamer with access to a CRT should probably have one just because.... it's the king.
Soundslike

I think its kinda shitty to take pre-orders with no sense on how many units you actually gonna get. When the supply doesnt cover the pre-orders then its just ok to say "were out of stock"?
Because this is way cheaper and barely takes up any space in comparison? And I want the save states? And I don't really care about the issue that much anyway.

I wonder if a third party might make a NES 2 "dogbone" version of the controller. The rectangle doesn't tickle my nostalgia quite like this little guy
Fair enough. It was just a suggestion.

I believe Mayflash makes a USB adapter

You can also get a Nes to Wii adapter from
raphnet.com
3rd party controllers suck
It adds to the nostalgia...
Yeah, I wont be able to use this thing if I use it on my TV as I will have to basically put my face on the screen to use it. Come on Nintendo, what the hell. Guess I will hook it up to my PC monitor.
Hah, my friends and I actually relived that shot a few years ago

Kinda figured people would get cancelled orders from target, that happened during amiibo pre orders, shit made me go mad
It'll be worse next Friday since a lot of people have the day off so expect campers :/
Only target and toys r us had pre orders , I think the first week or second week after it was announced

In all media, only true fans who consume every book, film, game, or pog collection deserve to know what's going on.
Toys R Us i believe.

Target and Toys R Us
I just looked at my Target order from August 15 and it says, "expected arrival Wed, Nov 16 - Fri, Nov 18". Not sure when they are planning on shipping it...
But won't they still need to be tethered to the NES mini?

For any UK people, the argos code is 576/2020.

I have a CRT as the main TV in my bedroom, so it's a mix of authenticity and comfort.
The classic mini is less pricey though.
Saw this on my "sift" Dtoid with a review
and video of the menu. (I'm sure there's already a vid of this somewhere though, and thus posted already probably)

I don't necessarily think so. Well, maybe day one. But if there is demand, they will ramp up supply and meet it during the holiday season. People forget (or didn't know) the major port strike in LA contributed heavily to initial amiibo shortages.
And for Switch, they said in the recent Q&A that they will ramp up supply if needed. So, hopefully that will be purchasable also. In both cases though I'm referring to a scenario where we actively go and seek out the item and try to get it day one, sort of thing, and in the Switch's cases pre-ordering the item. Just walking into a store I imagine it will be more difficult to get day one for the Switch. Since preorders in NA are so limited for the NES Classic Mini, I imagine if you call a few stores day one you might have good luck getting one. That's my hope at least.
Ah, that's unfortunate. Time for a long USB cable, then, I guess. Thank you!
Won't you need a long USB cable also?

Gamexplain unboxed it. Cord looks reaaally short

Thanks for sharing! Confirms this will be the first physical Nintendo product with a MyNintendo code (300 Platinum Coins, no Gold ones, though). Smart move on their part, now they just gotta put stuff on the service that would make folks actually want to redeem said points

Nintendo simply wants to watch the world burn. Why the hell they made it that short!?
What about the power cable lol? My TV and power outlet are in the same spot. A long HDMI cord does me little good if I still need the thing to be plugged in.

Bestbuy is selling a 3rd party extension cord for the controller.
This will be us on release day
Can't you just use any Wiimote extension cable?

Still really curious to see someone rip this thing open to see what's inside.
Any chance of Nintendo doing a 2nd run on these? Missed the preorder window and would love to buy one
I don't expect these to be limited.
Maaaaaybe hard to finish me during initial rush.

I don't think they are a limited run. They will sell them as long as there is demand.

it's not limited. just the usual Nintendo doesn't make enough of anything during the first run.

I feel this thing would be easy to find during the holiday period.
Just the initial launch might be bigger then they anticipated, which I can't really blame them because I also didn't expect it to receive such a positive reception (My dad wants one for some reason)

Yeah it's the same connector so this should work.

I didn't watch the video, so thanks for mentioning this. Interesting that it's Platinum points only. I expected Gold only for physical products, and continue to expect Gold for Switch-related physical products. Hopefully the program improves regardless in terms of offerings though.

Can I just plug it into a WiiMote and play it wirelessly?

Are we going to have a review thread for this?
Just like in Japan, a MyNintendo code is included in the box.

It gives you 300 Platinum coins.
