Personally I am still skeptical there will be a SNES classic system from Nintendo. It has not been widely discussed that Foxconn manufactured the NES classic. My theory is they had contracts to have the Switch in production for late 2016, but failed to meet deadlines for production. Easy to assume there would be penalties, or payments for having manufacture lines sit idle. Instead they churned out a couple million NES classic consoles, until the Switch was ready. Perhaps the NES classic was also a great marketing tool to gauge customer interest and loyalty before going too deep on Switch inventory.

This appears to be real: https://nintendowire.com/news/2017/...onfirmed-gamestop-managers-closed-door-event/.
Now I really hope my supposition that SuperFX will be excluded is wrong. That's probably the factor that will decide whether I buy one or not.

And yup. Another item I'll have to be vigilant about. I missed out on all the zelda amiibo releases and preorders. I'll probably stop by gamestop and talk to the manager if he has any idea on when preorders will be up.

I went for this, because I like the design better, and it uses the 60Hz versions of the games anyway.

16/21 for me, named 30 games, though. I'm surprised they put FFIII and Mana together. Looks like another no-brainer for everybody even mildly interested in video games. A 26 year old killer app.

I probably should have. What did conversion plus shipping end up?

As of today ~$91. I went with the cheapest 6-10 day shipping.

That's not bad. I prefer the us console, but I do like the controllers on Europe/jap better.

According to Nintendo policies, the upcoming SNES Classic should be backwards compatible and play all NES Classic games or else... there's gonna be a huge organized strike of angry parents. Again.

It's just not the same, there's no SEGA Genesis Classic + Power Base Converter Classic this time around.

Maybe some things changed, but this time around there's no need for a nemesis, Nintendo's biggest foe is... Nintendo. Let the Stock Wars begin

Own 16 of them already on the real thing, not counting Starfox 2. Meh. Kirby's Dream Course? Waste of a spot.
Star Fox 2 is the game changer for me and why I even bothered, it will be the first official release of the game so that is awesome.
I am upset that they are including only 1 version of street fighter. I think Super Street Fighter II is great, but they should have also included Street Fighter Alpha 2. Then again, I am biased towards fighting games lol.

SFA2, you can't be serious...also I'm pretty sure that what we're getting is SF2 Turbo and not Super, to me Super is the better or the 2 but even then there's no need for fighting games in this release. They got Konami, Capcom and Squaresfot, there's gotta be more titles worth a while to switch around.

SFA2 plays like dog shit on SNES.
As to SF2 Turbo vs New Challengers I think SF2 Turbo is the right choice just because of it having turbo speed settings.

SNES Super also has turbo settings, kinda like ST with 3 speed settings.

You sure you aren't thinking of the Genesis version? I fired up the rom of this and don't see a speed setting anywhere.

No need to be a douche, completely missed that as pressing start goes to all the different game modes. On the other games it was always on the mode selection from what I remember with turbo ***. No point really playing these other than for shits and giggles when I have the real arcade board.Kinda weird they put it at the beginning, but it is probably due to how many game modes they had.
