Outside of Super Metroid, none of the games have an English option, to my knowledge. Though I assume stuff like SMW and Rockman X are fully playable if you don't understand Japanese, but I would be one of the last people to ask about something like that.
I own most of the SFC carts of the games in this already (and Fire Emblem on 3DS VC) but this is still a must have item for me.

Well that sucks either way. I got my preorder in pretty quickly when it went up so I'm hoping mine doesn't get cancelled but if it does, it does.

For whatever reason Amazon.de told me that I can't have it shipped to my address in Austria (central europe - not Australia), even though they even redirect amazon.at to amazon.de. So I had to use me forwarding service (logoix). Hope they won't cancel preorders that are routed there.
Well, at least I was able to place the order before they went out of stock.

Not with the other thread posting that link. 🙈
I think in EU at least there's some law regarding e-waste that prevents Nintendo from including one.
In the US I think an adapter is included.
Not entirely out of the woods there. GAME run that site as well.
No. The Hut runs the Nintendo UK store.

Carrier pigeon just came in from my uncle over at NOA. But it says 1 PM EST so he obviously received bad info from Reggie
Or was the message intercepted and replaced?

There isn't exactlly a law. It was under consideration for phones though and industry (with the exception of Apple) pledged to use a standard connector (MicroUSB and now USB Type-C) as to avoid an actual regulation being put in place. Still all phones come with a charger in the box.
However the NES Mini as far as I remember also came without a power supply in the box in the EU.
So Nintendo aren't required to keep it out but I guess they're happy to do so.

Just to be sure, does Amazon US allow international shipping?
I'm from Europe but don't want to miss that alternative design

Isn't MK2 censored?
If anyone absolutely wanted a SNES Mortal Kombat included, I would think Ultimate MK3 would be the optimal choice.
We still got another 200 pages of salt and disappointment left to go, friend.
I thought it was GAME since the Nintendo store exclusive preorder stuff always appears on GAME as well.
My mistake.

Great, did the NES Classic work like that as well?
Maybe my TV doesn't have that option because while I have USB ports, I don't see a USB input on my sources list on the TV like where you see HDMI, Component etc..
Gotcha, that is very interesting to know. Thank you.

It didn't use the USB port to transmit the video - that still went through HDMI. But most TV's USB ports supply enough power to run a NES mini (after all it's an ARM SoC in there that's being used in phones as well).

Yup. I had some anxiety when I woke up but luckily all seems the same from before I went to bed. Here we go again.

Turtles in Time is fun. But the game is like 1 hour long. lol
Tetris Attack is sorely missed. I'd swap out SGnG for it, since that game, while nostalgic, isn't really fun at all? It's like extreme frustration: The Game. It makes all of Dark Souls look like baby shit. Not really any puzzle games represented, which is weird. Mortal Kombat 2 would be a necessary inclusion to me, but it's too violent for such a collection, so I get it.
Breath of Fire 2 would be a good inclusion, but there are already some RPGs there, the genre is well represented with 4 of the best ever. The sports genre is really lacking, NBA Jam or NHL 95 are worth the effort to get licensing down, don't get why they don't bother. Or how about Ken Griffey? You know, the best Baseball game on SNES with only one licensed athlete? Sports always suffers in these collections, and it sucks because I have some great memories of multiplayer sports games on SNES.

Best Buy doesn't have any images up yet. Makes me think pre orders won't be up today

Have been busy at work all day and haven't gotten a chance to check my phone. Glad to see I haven't missed US preorders yet. Hope I don't miss them this afternoon.

Nope. Only MK1 is censored. MK2 SNES is the best version of the game outside of arcades.

You wouldn't change the source to USB for charging purposes, it would provide power regardless. Your TV input would need to be set to HDMI to get the picture

32x?

Seems like a legitimate answer to me actually. With the way NoA is with the lack of providing any info, I wouldn't be surprised if they're still in the dark.
Not to rain on your parade, but the Saturn got a port of mk2. The 32x version is also better than the snes.
Mechanized
Member
That's true, but Isn't that essentially the arcade version at that point? Also who had a 32x? lol

I saw a video in the best version, I think the 32x or Mega CD was arcade perfect. sNES was fucking impressive tho
