Support NeoGAF

[Anth0ny]

I have absolutely no problem with this.

unfortunately i am not a slime from dragon quest

so if i sat upright in that chair, the controller cord would tug at the little console

so ridiculous lol

You can get a 15 foot cable for $13. They jump up quite a bit after that.

Well, Amazon has a 25 foot HDMI for $10.

USGamer's excellent review mentions that the manuals are all QR Code based, meaning you have to scan the QR code on the screen with your phone to access a website.

I have an iPhone and iPad which natively doesn't support QR Code scanning, and I'm unwilling to install an annoying QRcode scanning app. I'm hoping that someone will compile links to all the browser based manuals.

Looking forward to playing this next week. Luckily I have a HDMI cable looped around my room which pops out under the couch, so the cable lengths are a non-issue for me.

you show those annoying qrcodes whos boss

 

[thecouncil]

Am I going to be able to get an official extra controller at a reasonable price?

 

[OrbitalBeard]

Giving customers an option that saves them money is weird?

I assume you want them to release a new batch of Switch-only GC controllers for Smash too, huh?

EDIT: On topic, I just checked the Nintendo UK store, where I pre-ordered, and they are sold out. Both systems and controllers.

I kind of consider GCN controller support a different beast, since it's only for one game, but I'll admit, that's a good point.

I hope so for both our sakes

 

[OrbitalBeard]

Can someone link me to an extension cord to the controller?

Don't think I will be extending the HDMI

Here (if you're in the US)

 

[Mr. Giggles]

I've been out of the gaming side for much too long.

I am just this very minute learning of this... Hope it's not sold out already -.-

 

[Boylamite]

Was anyone in Canada offering pre orders? I have been periodically checking amazon.ca but nothing.

This thing is going to be the tickle-me-elmo of the holidays. Yes that dates me.

 

[purseowner]

Do we know how long the power cable is?

 

[sixteen-bit]

most places aren't doing preorders, so i don't think it's sold out already, at least in NA

Just checked Amazon Canada and so far only 3rd party sellers have it @$200 Canadian dollars (yikes)

I'll check out Best Buy and hope it's still available

It's not officially on sale in Canada yet(?) Original price is $79.99 in Canada, I think

 

[bigwinnerx]

Cable extender or buying one of those wireless controllers?

Extra controller $10
2 extenders @ $10 piece

2 MyArcade wireless controllers @ $15 piece


Both $30 solutions and one doesn't have wires at all. Though you lose having the "original" controller. And maybe using a custom carrying case fit to the regular controllers.

 

[FlyingCheese]

Am I the only person excited about the prospect of a new source of brand new original controller shells and rubber contact replacements? I'll gladly purchase 2 of these controllers just so I can refurbish my ancient and beat up NES controllers with new Nintendo parts... I'm just waiting on confirmation they're compatible, as size and screw patterns are the same.

Put it on something. Table for example.

 

[Couchaddict]

I don't understand how all these small lenght can be useable at all. Where am I suppose to put the NES itself?!

How long is the included HDMI + USB?

 

[SystemUser]

I think people have reported that the HDMI and USB are about 6 feet long.

 

[Pilgrimzero]

I have absolutely no problem with this.

You sit on the floor 2 feet from the tv like we did as kids in the 80s. Perfect Nostalgia.

 

[entremet]

That's ridiculous.

I was going to buy one. Not anymore.

Just get a new smaller flatscreen (people are throwing these away all the time) and set up in the corner for easy access retro fun.

Problem Solved!

 

[TLZ]

Welp, some rumors are saying that this thing will cost here in Mexico around $1800 pesos wich is around $93 dollars.... Almost $100 US Dollars, people! I didn't wanted to get one of this anyway, with that ridiculously short cable controller and cheap plastic in the shape of an NES. (I'm salty as you can see)

Same here in Australia. Still didn't stop me from buying both the NES and Famicom minis

Do we know yet if the EU games will be 60Hz?

According to Nintendo UK, yes:

Just plug the Nintendo Classic Mini: Nintendo Entertainment System into your TV, pick up that grey controller, and rediscover the joy of NES games – in high definition at 60 Hz!

 

[TLZ]

Sorry dp.

But as an '80s kid (kinda) I played the NES in the basement on an old ass chesterfield with a coffee table in front of it and an old 14" Quasar colour TV from the 1970's on a TV stand behind that.

 

[Bedlam]

So, this thing only comes with an hdmi cable, nothing for old TVs in there?

In addition to using it in my place on the modern tv, I also like to go to my parents house and use it on my old CRT. This will work with an hdmi to scart or component adapter, right?

 

[SuperSah]

In the UK Nintendolife video, it comes with two controllers. Do us UK folk get two controllers?


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Myf4JwGqLeQ

 

[-shadow-]

No, it's probably for journalists that they received two.

 

[Prisoner KSC2-303]

Weird, I've seen a few unboxings and I've yet to see anyone get a second controller.

IGN does

You can get a second one seperately in the UK, but it's exclusive to GAME.

 

[Bedlam]

Hmm, I think it would be borderline deceptive if Nintendo put two controllers into the boxes for the kits they send to youtubers and media outlets without any accompanying notice saying that this isn't what us consumers get.

Or can I get my hopes up that my European edition will include two controllers? (it was 69,99€ anyway, so 10€ more for us Europe plebs)

 

[friskykillface]

Who owns the rights to blaster master ? Surprised that's not included in the set

 

[harz-marz]

Do the 8bit Bluetooth adapters and their NES controllers work on this?

 

[gappvembe]

Sunsoft still apparently.

Calling this borderline deceptive is slightly to much.

Its probably a staffer putting an extra controller in the package, instead of sending the extra controller package.

I'd call it deceptive when you then get unboxing videos on youtube with the unboxer saying "why buy an extra controller when you get two in the box?"

 

[Sesuadra]

Do the 8bit Bluetooth adapters and their NES controllers work on this?

No. nes classic Mini does use wii connectors not the ones from the NES.

 

[Vampirolol]

I was checking if my Wii Super NES Classic Controller had a long cord and I realized that it may be the same lenght as the NES Mini ones.

 

[a Master Ninja]

How long is the included HDMI cable?

 

[TheSadRanger]

My memba berries can't handle all this nostalgia.

 

[ShabbadooJr]

Target has shipped my preorder. It's on track to deliver anywhere between Wednesday and Friday. I'm so excited. Hopefully my Toys R Us order ships soon too.

Sweet! I have a preorder with Target, too. It would be awesome to get it early or at least the day of release, though I haven't gotten a shipping confirmation yet.

1ft

I'm thinking of pre ordering one as well, I hope I can get one secured though at this point cause I think this is gonna sell like hot cakes.

Brofist! Got my notice too!

 

[TheSadRanger]

Kind of a bummer we couldn't get 8 bit Disney Capcom games on this thing. ;_;

8 bit Capcom was god tier

I wonder why they left Castlevania 3 out though when they have the original and Simon's Quest on it.

 

[Langdon Alger]

Just saw someone unbox one of these on youtube, and the controller cords are super short. You have to six like three feet from the TV. It's crazy. Bad move on Nintendo's part.

 

[zmet]

Just checked my email this morning and mine has shipped as well.

I'm wondering the same. Such a terrible move leaving it out of the collection. It's by far the best of the three games.

Spoiler

And they should've just skipped Simon's Quest.

 

[harz-marz]

So is there a way to extend these controller cables?
