Pre-ordered one as soon as I could when they announced it

I didn't get the mass email that a lot of other people got that my pre-order had been cancelled due to short supplies, so I should be fine, right?

R-right?

Why do you retards want this crap? Haven't you played it enough already?

>>388257462
no it's not

I already have one it's called ZSNES and has way more games (literally all of them)

>>388257720

>>388257813

When's the n64 mini coming out?

>>388257975

>>388257975
13 months

>>388256970
Nah I already have a emulator

>>388256970
I did. I got one from Walmart, and I've got a EU one from Amazon.

I'm like 80% sure I'm selling one or both of them.

>>388256970
Yeah, I got loads of pre-orders. Gonna make an even bigger killing from these ninggers than I did during that dumb as fuck NES classic shit. Free money!!!!

Have 7 on order from multiple retailers, 6 to flip. If they're still selling at what they're selling now, I should be able to make around $900. The NES Classic craze last holiday was the easiest $500 I made in my life.

I did actually, and for myself. Though I'll admit, when I looked online today and saw them going for 500 USD on certain sites I was pretty tempted to flip it but I won't.

>>388257313
hmm
The order seemed to have went through, I got a tracking number and everything, but it's not showing up in order history or current orders.

i got 2 that i don't plan to sell.

One to use, and one to place inside a display at home.

got 2 from walmart, shoulda prob got more but whatever

I got my old trusty nes collecting dust on a shelf so I'm fine.

Got one from Best Buy and possibly one from Target unless they cancel it. Christmas shopping almost done.

Nah, I still have my real one.

got 1 from Amazon
3 from walmart
2 from target
1 from gamestop

>>388257313
Got one in my cart. Went to check out, "Woops! We're out! Sorry!"

I'm gonna laugh when Walmart cancels these too. It was up way too long

What are the odds hackers will bust this thing open and let you add whatever SNES rom you want on it in order to create the ultimate SNES

i got my two from best buy.

walmart can never be trusted, and gamestop, well it's fucking gamestop.

>>388258749
It's Nintendo so, pretty damn high. They're utterly incompetent when it comes to security

Why do people do things like this?

You can do that already with the NES classic. Seems like they expect it due to the message that was left in there for the people who popped it, so i expect the same for snes.

>>388256970
I went to GameStop the other day to grab some PSN and eShop cards and the line was crazy. When I realized I was stuck in the middle of a run on stores for a SNESmini pre-order I pinched my brow in frustration. Luckily it wasn't long before the clerks announced they were all out and pretty much everyone walked out of the joint.

Couldn't help but smirk when I got to the counter and the guy said "we don't have anymore" and I responeded "I have emulators for that".

>>388259232

>>388258826
Genuinely curious; Why are Nintendo consoles constantly hacked to hell and back? You don't see this shit nearly as much with other hardware - Are Nintendo simply complete shit with security or do their hardware just happen to attract the craziest fucking hackers?

Which, if it's the former; shouldn't Nintendo be putting more effort into their security, or do they see the risk of piracy as neglible?

I got three. Hoping to sell two for ~$40 profit each to recoup the cost of the one I keep.

THOSE FUCKERS CANCELLED MY ORDER. THIS IS THE 2ND TIME GODDAMNIT

Because we appreciate great things in life.

>>388256970
Nope.
Got a retro duo and already own most of the games on there

>>388259535
I think part of it is that they have so many safe franchises that will sell a gazillion copies whether piracy happens or not, so they don't prioritize anti-piracy measures. After all, Sony and Microsoft do not have anything that is guaranteed safe sales quite like Mario, Pokemon, Zelda, Smash Bros, etc.

>>388256970

- Can boot it up and play right from my PC without having to move
- Been using it for about 15 years already
- It's 100% FREE (not kidding)

>>388259535
>Are Nintendo simply complete shit with security or do their hardware just happen to attract the craziest fucking hackers?
A bit of both. The Wii had a fucking joke of an OS and it's updates were sometimes as simple as sending a new System version that changed the version from 3.8 to 3.9 with a few lines to block specific titles. With the 3ds they actually became more competent but hackers be hackers and they always found a way to tinker with the console, even if it meant forcing an extremely dangerous downgrade, installing a program to retrieve a key, updating and using the key to hack the 3ds. Nowadays you could hack a 3ds while taking a shit.

>>388260195
same here, been using emulators since 1997.

I bought two SNES classic because i want them.

>>388259535
Here's a reason.
The DS had horrible security and it was really popular so it drew people into the concept of hacking Nintendo stuff, there was a scene but it exploded with the DS

Then the Wii came out and because the hardware was a essentially just a gamecube, it was even easier to hack that which drew more hackers to Nintendo consoles.

>>388261069
Why not just buy an actual SNES then?

>>388262604
You're not making any sense annon. A fitly scalper pays Nintendo the same amount of money that a normal customer does. Difference being the scalper plans to resale at a jacked up price. Nintendo is not losing money over this unless you believe that Nintendo should be selling at that jacked price.

>>388262203
Hey if you got the money to spend then more power to you.. why 2 of them tho?

I got 12. Anyone wanna buy one for $400?

>>388257478
>No because I have a PC capable of running zsnes
You must have a shit PC, have no standards, or both.

>>388262394
They could do all of that and make EVEN MORE money if they actually bothered keeping things like this in stock.

>>388256970
>Four hundred ninety nine US dollars
Makes the Xbox One X look like a contestant to get my money over a PC.

>>388262803
Because you're not thinking it through. Why is the scalper able to sell it for this "jacked up price"? Because the demand massively outweighs the supply. Nintendo is selling a lot fewer SNES Classics than customers are willing to buy.

Unless they're selling these at a loss for some reason, they are making a lot less money than they would if they manufactured more consoles.

>>388262194
Yes, everything up to GBA and some N64 though they run kind of shitty. I was able to play No Mercy though so that's fun.

>>388262803
>Difference being the scalper plans to resale at a jacked up price. Nintendo is not losing money over this unless you believe that Nintendo should be selling at that jacked price.
You're an idiot. If the scalper buys one unit to resell at a much higher price and Nintendo doesn't restock the product, other customers either have to turn to resellers to buy the product or not buy the product. In both scenarios, Nintendo is losing out on an additional $80 of profit because people are forced to buy from third-party sources.

>Person X buys Product Y from Company W
>Person Z wants to buy Product Y from Company W
>Since Product Y is not in stock at any store, Person Z has to either buy Product Y from Person X or not purchase Product Y at all
>Company W loses out on Person Z's money and Person Z is less likely to try to buy from Company W in the future

>>388256970
Yeah, for 100€ from Amazon.

Just not that fucking ugly as shit NA version.

>>388263128
You really are stupid if you can't understand that the main goal of the Classic series is to advertise.
Increasing the price makes it less enticing for many people, and thus reduces demand.
Shipping more means fewer people are buying Virtual Console games, which Nintendo makes more profit off of.

>>388257882
No, I'm not that desperate for money.

>>388257975
I kinda don't believe Nintendo can make a good enough emulator.

>>388257975
The teaser they showed didn't give a release date, so your guess is as good as mine. All we know is that it's in production.

>>388262080
I wish I could trust you Id buy it from you right now.

>>388263578
Company W as a set goal for what they plan to produce. Although you can argue that they should produce more, if they meet that sales goal then it is a success as for as the company is concerned.

Also:
>Company W loses out on Person Z's money and Person Z is less likely to try to buy from Company W in the future

Things that have never happened in history. A shortage with high demand suddenly doesn't make demand disappear when the same event repeats. If that was the case nobody would purchase the SNES classic because of what happened to the NES classics.

>>388264618
Nintendo in general.
It has a knock on effect where people who can't get a SNES Classic, reminded of either their nostalgia playing those games, or people interested in playing them find ways to play them.
Even if most people will probably grab an emulator on their phone, order a regular SNES off ebay, or just buy them off of Virtual Console, Nintendo is satisfied. The point is to get people playing Nintendo games and or get them interested in Nintendo games if they weren't before, because those people may purchase other Nintendo products.

>>388264869
I'm just speculating but I think they want to limit it to one.

I'd have liked to order several to test it though.

>>388256970
Yes, but Amazon seems to have over-sold it's pre-orders because they sent me an e-mail today saying my order will be delayed. Still got one though

>>388263976

That's about right. One of the big reasons Nintendo was caught off-guard by the demand for the NES Classic was because they imagined that it would appeal mainly to a subset of middle-aged folks with kids who remembered the NES from when they were young. Getting Nintendo's brand back into the public mind has been a big part of their recent strategy.

Scalpers are literal scum, especially for stealing high demand products like this from consumers who just want to buy it at normal price. And Nintendo are even bigger scumlords for artificially creating an environment that allows this to happen.

How many did you get /v/?

It boggles my mind big resellers haven't implement a system to prevent scalpers yet, it would be as simple as locking down a single purchase to an IP or some kind of identification number.

No I didn't preorder because I knew how futile that'll be I'm going to the store like a human being.

>>388269398
Because they would have a difficult time turning away customers who want to purchase your products in bulk.

>>388269520
They could make it valid only for shit that would sell out anyway.

Any reason to get this over just buying them on virtual console?
Genuine question, I miss old games and never liked emulating.

You could buy an actual SNES and all of the games for the price that scalpers are going to charge

>>388269765
>Any reason to get this over just buying them on virtual console?
Not really unless you wanna have the shit physically for novelty.

>never liked emulating
You should try it, we have cycle SNES emulators nowadays so it's literally the same as the real thing.

Why would you spend this much when SNES and repro carts are so insanely cheap?

>>388269902
nope.
Earthbound cartridge only goes for$150-200 itself
Many of the other titles are $40 to $50 each for cart only.
I'm guessing this will probably sell for $300-400 if supply remains short.

>>388270756
Youre already paying for an emulator, might as well buy repro carts (which are superior to emulators anyway)

discord.gg/u7juFVc

>>388271050
>which are superior to emulators anyway
?

Also, there are some games flashcarts can't run like SuperFX games and SMRPG

>>388271308
A game running on its original hardware is much less likely to have issues than an emulator

>>388269191
This is why I'm not buying Nintendo shit anymore

They don't care about the consumer

>>388271557
Have you ever heard of cycle accuracy?

>>388256970
No, I'd rather just wait for a Nintendo Switch classic in like 3 years and have it come with 50 games :^)

I went to my Gamestop as soon as they tweeted they would have them in stores, and waited in store for like 45mins because they never actually sent out the SKUs.

I'm probably going to try and scalp it. Street Fighter II and Donkey Kong Country were the first games I ever played, but I won't really play these things. Where is the Switch Virtual Console? I'd buy so much shit to emulate on my Switch.

I genuinely don't understand the point of these. Well no, I get why they would make cute christmas/birthday gifts, but I don't understand why someone on /v/ would want one when there's tons of better, cheaper alternatives to play these games.

If they were super high class emulation boxes, something more akin to a clone console with snes mimicking FPGAs that could play games accurately that would be one thing, but they're not. They have a lot of the same flaws that any other emulator have

>>388274690

What it does isn't really relevant

>>388274579

I don't know about the snes classic, but you could buy the nes controllers separately . No need to waste money on the shitbox

Pretty sure the connectors are the same as the Nunchuk's, so you should be able to use these on Wii and Wii U. Probably not for Switch though.

GameXplain said there was no noticeable input lag, and that everything looked accurate, so that's a good sign

I'm planning on camping out in front of Toys R Us the night before release, since they aren't doing preorders. If the line is stupid long by the time I show up, I'd be willing to pay ~$150 for one from stupid dumb scalper scum, but any more than that and I'm right the fuck out.

>>388282023
Sounds good. A little up charge isn't bad, you're basically paying them for the work they put in staying up all night for pre-orders or standing in line at a store.

More than double MSRP is bullshit, though, and sadly you'll be lucky to find one for less than 300. Don't give up hope, though. There's still four months of chances. Even if the windows are short there's still time for a lot of windows.

At least most retailers are doing their best to fuck bots and scalpers by limiting to one per customer and/or canceling all but one order on accounts that ordered more than one.

>>388284081
Unforunately Nintendo has a LOT of fucking money, far too much to be desperate to sell anything. They're also old and out of touch, and continue to do things they've been doing for decades. The console shortage thing has been part of their marketing gimmicks/tricks for a long time. The only reason the Wii U wasn't in the same boat is that they marketed it SO poorly, either on accident or thinking that it could ride the Wii's coat tails, but either way it didn't rake in the normie bucks like the Wii and Switch, or NES/SNES Classics.

Scalpers are jumping the gun, assuming that they'll be able to sell them for those prices. There's no guarantee that they'll be hard enough to find that people will be so desperate this time. If supply keeps up, they'll get burned.

>>388286308
You have 30 days to return at most stores. There's almost zero risk for loss, unless someone scams you

>>388286308
I'm personally hoping Nintendo keeps releasing scant amounts until December and then floods the markets

That way, the scalpers will be stuck with all of the ones they didn't just get in the last 30 days

>>388285383
I literally bought 2 snes minis. But to call it anything but a 70 dollar emulator is really really stupid. It even has save states. Noones that stupid to think otherwise. I bought it for the novelty of the product, not because I can't play the game any other way.

>>388285281
People are convinced the Switch is successful because sales figures exist to back it up. Just being out of stock doesn't produce results like "4.7 million in four months" or "top-selling console of the month."

It's way behind the PS4 over the same timeframe, and it barely nudged out the PS4 by a few thousand units in the month of July. The PS4 won in May and June, while being nearly 4 years old.

Being out of stock will always make something look popular.

>>388262394
Wow they're in high demand and people want them!
Where can I get one too? Oh I can't. Maybe they'll make more? Oh they're not.

>Why not just buy an actual SNES then?
>If you have the money to waste I mean

Hmm, yes. I have 6 SNES's and original mint/complete copies of every game I care about. Your point?
I've already secured my SNES Classic preorder. It'll look nice sitting in a box inside my closet unopened, like my NES Classic

>>388287771
>Where can I get one too? Oh I can't. Maybe they'll make more? Oh they're not.
They don't want you to buy a SNES mini. They want you to buy a Switch.

>>388287610
It also launched in March as opposed to holiday season.

We've all had this argument before a billion times

>>388256970
About 30 minutes after I heard (via Twitter) that GameStop opened up pre-orders, I drove to the GS in the local mall, which tends to get more stock than a lot of the standalone stores around it, and preordered the 7th or 8th out of 18 units.

>>388256970
yeah i impulse ordered
not sure what i'll do with it since i have a functioning snes already

maybe save it as a gift

>>388288741
Yes. We have. You continually give the Switch free passes while ignoring the fact that the PS4 didn't even launch globally and didn't launch with any games worth mentioning, let alone a metacritic 98 game

"March" isn't a get out of jail free card as much as you want it to be

>>388256970
I still have a working original SNES w/controllers and box.

>>388289489
And releasing in March is not as much of a nonfactor as you want it to be.

And if you believe the shitposters, the Switch didn't launch with any games worth mentioning either.

>>388289721
And if you believe the shitposters, 70 million people bought a PS4 to play Bloodborne.

Switch has a lot to prove. 5 million is nothing and could easily be explained by having very highly rated titles available within its launch window, something that's very unusual for Nintendo hardware as of late. Will it keep up this pace after it hits 10, 15, 20, 25 million? You'd like to pretend its success is guaranteed but it's not at all.

>>388289940
Of course it isn't guaranteed.

Who the fuck knows if this thing will do well in the long run?

But you're just as blinded by bias for saying it's certainly doomed as I would be for saying its certainly a success

>>388290092
>saying it's certainly doomed
I said nothing of the sort. I said people are convinced it's a success because it's sold out, which is not bias nor opinion. It's factual. It's why artificial scarcity works.

The problem is literally nobody is calling it anything but that.

You fucking neckbeards have just convinced yourself that you're super special and enlightened for knowing about emulators. They're not a mystical deepweb secret, they're one of the first things any kid on the internet ever discovers.

The fact that you feel the need to preach it as if everyone is ignorant of it makes you look like a hilarious tool.

>>388286839
>I bought it for the novelty of the product, not because I can't play the game any other way.
So why have you convinced yourself that nobody else bought it for the same reason?
Yes anon, you are clearly the only human on this website, nay, the earth, that bought it for that reason. The rest are just ignorant sheeple that don't understand that they're buying an emulator!

>>388287771
And yet here you are talking about it. That's called successful marketing. Nintendo doesn't care who doesn't get one, they will sell literally every single unit.

>>388288174
They don't sell Switches, either.

>>388291914
I'm not retard, the person I was responding too was implying that the snes mini was somehow superior or not an emulator. He was wrong and I responded. Nobody cares about the difference between the snes mini and emulators, they are indistinguishable, one is free, the other is sold by shady business practices with artificial scarcity. The people defending or adamantly saying that emulators are for "neckbeards" are categorically wrong and really stupid.

You're retarded.

>>388256970
Yes. Got one from Best Buy. Didn't get my notifications for it but my friend told me it was up so I got lucky thanks to him.

>>388292029
>the person I was responding too was implying that the snes mini was somehow superior or not an emulator
Nobody ever said that.
It objectively is superior to an emulator though because it's an emulator + more. More is objectively better, always.
Nobody ever said it wasn't an emulator though, you're just making shit up.

>Nobody cares about the difference between the snes mini and emulators
Except you and all the other fedoras that only come into these threads to shitpost about emulators and retropies.

>>388287610
What does the PS4 have to do with anything? PS4 being successful doesn't disqualify the Switch from also being successful. Selling less than or close to the PS4 would only be a bad sign if the PS4 was selling badly itself.

>>388292594
>The post I responded too was implying it
Nah it was implying you're a fedora-wearing hipster for thinking you're enlightening anybody by talking about emulators.

Everybody knows what an emulator is, you're not special, get over it.

>>388292817
You are the one that is insecure. It's obvious that you were the one who posted the original image I responded too. Not only that you contradicted yourself like a complete mongoloid by saying that the snes mini is "objectively" better than emulators when you had just got done saying that nobody had said that.

God damn you are stupid haha.

>>388292910
I never said or implied that emulators are a hidden niche concept mongoloid. I just said that the attitude in these threads that the snes mini is better than emulators thus justifying your own bias after spending 70 dollars to play 20 games that others can get for free.

Everyone knows what an emulator is, the fact that you thought that I was implying otherwise shows your poor reading comprehension and outright stupidity in being able to carry a conversation. With inferences like the ones you are making no wonder you are so upset. You are confused, and deeply moronic.

You are pathetic.

There's nothing about this thing that is worth the effort it takes to get one.

Because composite and RF were how people played video games in the 80s and 90s.

>>388297649
I care because Composite fucking ruins the picture quality. It's not hard to use S-Video.

Walked into local EBGames on pre-order day and got the very last one.

I also got a Switch at the same place by walking in the morning of launch (only like 20 minutes early).

Been lucky with these. Missed NES Classic though but I wanted SNES a fuckton more so I'm very satisfied.

>>388256970
I managed to get one on Amazon. Still hasn't been cancelled. It could be cancelled, but I'm not from the US so likely hood of that happening is zero.

>tfw buying a US and a Yurop one
I like the design of the euro one better but i also want the american one next to my NES Classic.

>>388262604
Actually Nintendo would still be making more money than each individual scalper.

A scalper doesn't buy EVERY SINGLE one of the demanded product. They will usually buy a handful or just one sometimes, any amount that can be resold at high price. So Nintendo made money off of a scalper buying the product, now the scalper has to make BACK the cost by selling it for more. He decides to put the products up on eBay for $100 a piece.

Here's the thing though, not everyone who wants to buy an SNES Classic, Amiibo or anything like that wants to buy it for way over the price range. So then at the end of the week the scalper will likely have sold one or two and not make back the costs. He would have spent for example $90 each for the 6 SNES Classics he scalped which means he spent $540, and through reselling he only makes $200 back. Basically he's wasted his money for selling them above average and mommy will get mad at them and not give them their chicken tendies for dinner.

At least give it some mercy and replace the label.

I really don't get the appeal of this garbage. Even if it's just for reselling purposes, I can't even imagine a lot of hipsters buying into this.

It's literally just a physical emulator. If you wanna play or test out games, you can do so on your PC. If you really want an SNES, you might as well just get the fucking original one.

>>388256970

>If you really want an SNES, you might as well just get the fucking original one.
The cost of a SNES by itself would easily be $40-$60.
Then there's the matter of games which each range from $20-$190 depending on the game and its rarity. Earthbound alone costs $160-$190 on average. If you wanted to buy the whole collection of games available on the SNES Classic it would end up costing at least 15 times as much as just buying the SNES Classic.

I agree with you on the emulation part but the SNES Classic really is the best option if you want to (sort of) own the games and the console physically for a cheap price.

You can play video games just fine on composite. Composite is cheap, ubiquitous, and provides a more accurate experience for retro gaming than S-Video, RGB, or HDMI.

I already have composite cables for all of my retro consoles. Why should I spend more money on an S-Video switch and multiple S-Video cables when I could save that money or use it for more worthwhile things like more video games?
