Though most if the responses are one lines, or fuck you Nintendo, countdowns... Is like a Yahoo Groups Chat from the late 90s.

I think the amazing thing is that scattered throughout the thread you can see people saying they don't think this will do well because the SNES wasn't all that popular compared to the NES.

NeoGaf Live Thread chrome extension, never refresh a thread again. It only loads new comments. Mobile already has something like this too.

I mean, you're definitely right about the novelty thing. They just want these limited-time products to boost awareness for their real money makers. If all the variables aligned and Nintendo could make these indefinitely I'm sure that they would.
I think it's just Amazon listing a placeholder

It's not that this won't do well, of course it will. But it's a simple fact that the NES sold more units world wide than the SNES.
Wow. Just wow. Attaboy, Ryan.

...hate me...
I tried to go through with the order... and it did try to charge me that full amount, the absolute madness. I didn't have that much cash available so it gave a "insufficient funds" error.
Funnily enough, the order still went through, just isn't paid for.

They will probably make 5 million and they will sell the fuck out.
There are individual games on that list that sold a few million.
It would be amazing between Ultra SF2 and Hyper Fighting that Nintendo could sell millions more copies of Street Fighter II this year

There was never a 10k post limit. Before the 20k limit threads would just go on and on and on and on and it took it's toll on server performance for whatever reason so the 20k post limit was instated.
Aren't you charged a fee for listing items based off of the listed price?

Well considering the cold war that was the 16 bit era. I always believe that the SNES/genesis really created timeless classics that define gaming on what it is today. Pushing the limit and bringing out the best kind of games and we were the winner that get to enjoy. So yeah I truly believe a SNES classic is going to be harder than a Nes classic. I know several people that skip out on the Nes just for SNES classic and possibly n64 classic

This is basically, "Pay me $1000 and I hold your SNES Classic hostage until Amazon UK MAYBE ships me a unit."
I just looked at the full list of games. Alien Wars, MMX, Super Metroid, ALTTP, Secret of Mana, Super Mario World, Super Punch Out, the whole fucking list is literally my childhood memories, brings tears to my eyes. I grew up with the US version but the UK/JP design I was always jealous of so I'm getting it. Fuck man, the nostalgia is very real. :')
250 dollars, I reckon.
The SNES was a much better console than the NES, it's just the NES had no competition, so obviously it did better. The Mega Drive was a legit good console too.

$400. Dead serious. Right out of the gate, at least. That's how high they peaked on the NES and scalpers will being jumping straight to it rather than building up from low $100s, since they know people will pay it. Eventually it'll settle down into the $200s. The NES Mini is averaging around $250, and that's now that things are finally starting to die down after the last rush with the cancellation announcement.

They can't archive 20k+ post threads, that's why
$150-200. The scalper competition during the launch will keep prices down.
For some reason I feel like the price tiers will be UK SNES at lowest price ($), then US SNES ($$), then JPN SNES ($$$).

I don't recall all the details, but they're mostly nit picky stuff.
I actually got two NES Classics and sold them because they were European version and I wanted the US box... kinda regret not keeping one now.
Managed to pre-orders the SNES Classic today (Euro version is superior this time). This I'll probably keep, as I'm more relaxed financially now.
I never owned a SNES, it kinda makes this bittersweet... Finally owning one will be sweet, but I don't have nostalgia for these games like I did with the NES.

Expect BIN's to run between $350 and $400. That impulse itch for expendable income.

What's funny is the prices that put for these things. They know nothing about prices and markets and just put an arbitrary price hoping people would fall for it.
BIN? Sorry, not familiar with the acryonym
