Start calling every couple days and asking.So we have no idea when theyll be back in stores? I want one but its annoying to think theyll probably show up in stores and be sold out by the time I even hear they were restocked.
Couldn't Get Working
Uniracers, Terranigma, Illusion of Gaia.
Amazon JP had more stock for sale earlier, and stores had some again.
Should be similar for NA and EU soon.
That wasn't a restock though; it just launched today.
Can't believe I got in on that... I wasn't following when the launch day was in Japan.
I was out when I got the notification today just like I was out when the preorder went up for it the first time. The first thought in my head was "are you fucking kidding me? I'm going to get screwed on this twice?" since it feels like such a chore to order in Japanese on a mobile phone where as I was completely on top of it when the US and Euro versions went up. Fortunately, I was able to get an order in before it went out of stock, but there was old CC info on my Japanese account and I used the wrong card since it defaulted to that. I switched it like 5 minutes later so I hope I didn't get screwed.
Just completely dumb luck to have been out both times and in both instances; I would have normally been at a regular computer in both instances but something happened that caused me to be out. Man, I hope this goes through....
I've missed both, got no alterts. I've staked Amazon JP for days too, and missed the 15 minute window fuuuuuI was out when I got the notification today just like I was out when the preorder went up for it the first time.

It's so much cheaper on Amazon too, on ebay they're US$150, and even more on Play-asia etc.
I guess I'll just be patient since it seems there is plenty of stock worldwide...
Grind a bit, also he's a crocodileI dipped my toe into Mario RPG the other day, and promptly got my ass kicked by the purple raptor in the top hat. I only have about 3 moves to use at the moment so does anyone have any useful advice for this game?

Learn the timing to defend correctly and how to attack harder. If you have enough healing items you should endure the boss to the end.
This game is extremely easy and has a level 30 cap, so you really don't ever need to grind.
Grinding is the stupidest thing ever put in games. Its the most infantile reward system to be given more power simply for repeating the same thing over and over.Best part about the game. Can't stand grinding...ok, maybe a little bit of grinding is acceptable. But shit is boring. Thank goodness there isn't too much grinding in Chrono Trigger either.

A good early challenge for Chrono Trigger, in relation to levelling, is seeing Spekkio in his Prehistoric Frog form. It's all about getting to the End of Time fighting as few battles as possible, as you need to be level 9 or under to see it. Can make some bosses quite tough, and you need to be clever in sections like the prison to avoid getting exp.
There is a certain character in Chrono Trigger that becomes stronger as the player gains levels, so you can keep testing yourself by fighting him.Wait, what? What is this? Explain a bit better.
So it seems I got an EU SNES mini for free....
Preordered on amazon.de. Cancelled preordee on the 28th. Found it sitting on my porch at 3am after a trip to the store just nlw. No charge on my CC, no order in order history on amazon.de. Yet here it sits.
Now I have one of each, yay! Maybe amazon's shipping issues caused this one to slip through the cracks? Though I thought their issues were mostly in the US. I cancelled because I got off work and was camping out for a US one (screw the haters, my childhood is purple man!), but I'll gladly take a free one. It will likely be gifted to my niece. Just hope she appreciates it as she is 13.
I've reopened the preorder shitshow thread for people to talk about their preorder stuff again, to allow this thread to be more about the unit and the games included as intended.
So please post order stuff here: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1409607
I'm having that problem with Star Fox 2, which is god awful.
SNES Mini Classic Thread | You can't mod it yet. Stop asking modding questions.
Well, people were commenting about how they added games, so thought I'd ask.
Any news/time line on adding mods? Really want chrono trigger and final fantasy II on mine.

Also I think this title should be made into an OT and first post turned into an actual OT? This thread is a mess.
If this thread is closing soon, I guess Ill ask out of curiosity: is there an ETA for the mod to come out? Did the NES mod come with a launch window or did it just stealth drop?
And once it does drop, would it be prudent to wait first to see if it potentially bricks the system (let others be the first to test it out, basically)?

Posted this on the wrong thread:
FFVI: Does the save state Veldt trick not work with the SNES Classic save states?
For those who don't know, if you save state before a battle from a pack that has a monster you want, and when you fight you don't get that monster, you can load save state and fight a battle off the Veldt and the next Veldt battle will be another one from that same pack.
Doesn't seem to be working, and in general the Veldt RNG is a bit weird if I do anything with saves/loads (when you reset the game it's supposed to jump 13 packs up, doesn't always happen?).

I asked this on GFAQs and someone said the RNG in this is different from the regular game :0
Been playing through the games and I really appreciate the improvements to the interface over the NES Classic. The selectable borders are nice and the scaling and CRT filter on the SNES Classic are hugely improved. I actually like the CRT setting on this and use it for most of the games. When they re-release the NES classic next year I know they won't add any games (that would piss people off) but it would be nice if they updated the software to add the new scaling and filter settings as well as the borders.
Only two complaints. First, it would be nice if you could set borders on a per-game basis. Some borders are more suitable to some games than others due to theme or color scheme. Second, I just don't "get" Kirby's Dream Course. I understand the mechanics but I just do not find it fun to play in the slightest. I like golf and mini-golf, and I'm okay with Kirby, but this game just doesn't work for me on any level. I hate the perspective and it just feels clunky to play.

I find Dream Course and Star Fox 2 to be the worst of the bunch. Just absolute garbage in my opinion, and I hate that they're taking up two spots. While I hate SF2, I get it being there since it was never released and that's kind of cool, but Dream Course has no place on this thing.

Not being able to get Terranigma or Illusion of Gaia on here makes me very sad.
I'm confident someone will figure it out, especially once the Hakchi tool is updated and tinkering becomes easier.
