The Official SNES Classic Thread

[KushSkywalker]

I'm sitting here playing Donkey Kong Country, a game I ain't played in over 20 years and all the memories are just flooding back to me like wow

Every little detail, jump, enemy placement, sound effect....it's like i was just playing it yesterday....the music.....THE FUKKIN MUSIC BREHS

This shyt here



my lawd

Same shyt. This game hit me with the heaviest nostalgia bomb so far for whatever reason.

Finally started playing. Just beat the first world of Super Mario World. It's like I didn't miss a beat. I don't remember if I originally beat the game but I know I got far. But I'm bout to beat it this time. I'm sure I beat donkey Kong. Some of these games might be new to me. Like secret of mana, earthbound and kirby. Never really got into the final fantasy series either. But nonetheless, this system looks great. Bringing back old memories while playing it. Just thinking about it. Back then, I was playing Super Nintendo and watching Full House. The same thing I'm doing now 25 years later with this system and Fuller House on Netflix. I feel like Marty McFly. We done hopped out the Delorean brehs.

Breh play Earthbound. One of my favorite RPGs of all time. Didn't play it for the first time till like 3 years ago. Humor is great and the game holds up really really well.

when's the hack dropping ?

 

[winb83]

More people would've been able to pre-order instead of certain individuals preordering multiple consoles from different stores and even different countries just to sell them for jacked up prices to the people that would've been able to order at regular price.

The long and short of it is is that scaplers are just reselling to the same people they took the opportunity of getting one for normal price from.

Wii-U was a bust thats why they were readily available at stores

The problem with what you're saying is people were obviously willing to pay more than what Nintendo was charging which is evident by the fact that there's a healthy second hand market for these things at about double the retail price.

Nintendo priced this too low for the supply they sent out. If the SNES classic came out and cost about $150 or so you'd probably be able to walk in a store and buy one easily like you can on eBay. In the beginning the Wii U wasn't a bust but something being a bust or not is irrelevant to having the proper supply for the market demand.

Nintendo has a history of release shenanigans. They consistently put out products with low supply and very slowly over time ramp up production until many months after release they finally became reasonable to get at retail. The Switch 6 months later is just really becoming something you can normally walk in a store and buy.

You can't.
The games were designed to be played in a 4:3 ratio and will look like shyt if you stretch it. They do have the different borders to fill the rest of the screen

When I 1st hooked it up and started playing Super MARIO World, DKC, and Star Fox I was like it’s not the same. But this morning everything has felt like pure crack mixed with Heisenberg meth Once I made it to Donut Hill in MARIO World it was over I beat Mega Man X, A Link to the Past several times, Castlevania 4, Mario World, Kirby Allstars, and Super Metroid as a kid now I’m now I can’t get past 3 stages on anything

The Switch was/is a huge success that exceeded Nintendos expectations, and manufacturing consoles takes time. Add that they were also making enough SNES Classics and 2Dxls for their launches, I think Nintendo did alright.

Nintendo made mentioned that they made 9 million units of the NES classic and didn't expect it to sell out like it did. With the upcoming releases of the Switch, 2Dxl, and SNES Classics (as well as Amiibos) they couldn't just limit those upcoming releases just to produce more NES Classics which they plan on making of for next year.

Scalpers aren't some Robin Hoods you are trying to paint them as.
