This thing is so damn cool. The power and reset button work as the original did. The controllers feel identical to the originals.

This little thing is definitely going on my business trips in the luggage then hooked up to a hotel TV.

I'm peanut butthurt and jelly. I missed the preorders and good luck finding one in stores. Ah well, still got my emulators...

nah, Target and Gamestop got in another shipment today,

They were all at targets all over the city today (Houston) according to my gaming group on Facebook. And Nintendo plans on getting shipments out every other week.

My suggestion are Targets.

The 3 Targets by me get new game shipments on Mondays and Fridays, just call in the morning on those days and see if they got them in, I did that with the Switch and got one within the first few weeks.

Cool thing about getting old...my brother got his nieces and nephew one for Christmas. Guess who gets to relive some childhood games? This guy!

F Zero was one if the first games I played on SNES along with Bill Lambeers (sp?) Combat Basketball. Good shit.

I got one yesterday. My brother still wants to get one but is broke. Now I want to get an original nes with the box. Are you modding yours?

Are the controller cords still 6 inches long like the NES classic?

"In a statement provided to IGN, a Nintendo representative confirmed the Super NES Classic's controller cord is approximately five feet long, "which is about 2 ft. longer than the cord on the NES Classic Controller."

yeah the controllers are the right length now, you can also buy extensions for a few dollars on amazon.

I plan on getting the wireless controller that works with it at some point.

This thing is so damn fun.

To answer Ivan,

nah I'll keep it original, already have OpenEmu which is the best emulator on the planet IMHO.

This is tempting.

Nice score! Great games and no yellowing of the console. DKC and F-zero are some of the best games made for that system. I played the latter on retropie the other day...it was still fun even though the gfx weren't as amazing as I remember. The (lack of) play control is still there.

How is Star Fox 2?

underwhelming and you can clearly see why it was canceled, but still important to have in the collection.

I finally got one. brickseek.com works pretty good. if it says either 12 or 6 in stock they just showed up and may still be in the shipping box.

8bbit.com you can play some SNES games, a lot of sega games, and 99% of Nintendo games for free online. I am not affiliated, just a guy who likes to waste time.

Same, most of us do. I have all the real games that come in this little emulator except SF2 and Earthbound. Although I have an Earthbound repro copy. I had SF2 but it was the unfinished version.

I even modded mine to put out purple LED light from the sides when on.

How much are these supposed to cost, because some people were excited that Amazon prices have dropped to $165

retail is $79.99 and you shouldn't pay any higher than that.

They're still being restocked in Targets this week, pictures going out on Texas gaming group shows them arriving at different Targets. They will continue to ship these out just be patient.
