Re: The inevitable SNES Classic is coming (inc. Starfox 2!; 21 games, 9/29/17, $80)

I just looked it up, and there's a ton of articles about this listing a lot of games. Some of it depends on if you have preferences for certain types of games.

Back when I had an SNES, I played a...

Re: The inevitable SNES Classic is coming (inc. Starfox 2!; 21 games, 9/29/17, $80)

While in general RetroArch is GPL3, which should allow for commercial use, some parts of RetroArch, in particular specific cores, have "non-commercial" licenses, meaning that they can't be used in a...

Re: The inevitable SNES Classic is coming (inc. Starfox 2!; 21 games, 9/29/17, $80)

I just watched a video on how to install and play the arcade versions on the SNES Classic via a MAME core.

Re: The inevitable SNES Classic is coming (inc. Starfox 2!; 21 games, 9/29/17, $80)

Technically, all the original home releases had no blood/gore, but the Genesis version had a not-so-secret code that unlocked the blood and gore:...

Or a plug adapter, since the UK power adapter will work with US 100-120V 60hz as long as you adapt the plug.

Or, use a different USB 1.5A power adapter you have lying around.

Re: The inevitable SNES Classic is coming (inc. Starfox 2!; 21 games, 9/29/17, $80)

The European version looks different on the outside, to match the different design the original SNES used in Europe. The European design is the same as of the "Super Famicom" in Japan.

The...

Re: The inevitable SNES Classic is coming (inc. Starfox 2!; 21 games, 9/29/17, $80)

Nintendo probably tries, but it's like a game of whack-a-mole as the "companies" advertising them come and go. They probably make enough sales to justify paying for the ads and running them up until...

Re: The inevitable SNES Classic is coming (inc. Starfox 2!; 21 games, 9/29/17, $80)

Another month, and no news on Nintendo ceasing production.

They had already halted production of the NES Classic by this point last year:...

They didn't specifiy anything other than they were continuing production "into 2018."

Re: The inevitable SNES Classic is coming (inc. Starfox 2!; 21 games, 9/29/17, $80)

Haven't seen any news about this in a few months. It looks to be still going in and out of stock online. Can't really speak for in-store availability.

Amazon reseller listings have dropped to...

Re: The inevitable SNES Classic is coming (inc. Starfox 2!; 21 games, 9/29/17, $80)

Well, there's a significant price difference between the two as well. And it's not the same as the console from 28 years ago, it just plays the same games (which it is pre-loaded with).

Nintendo...

Re: The inevitable SNES Classic is coming (inc. Starfox 2!; 21 games, 9/29/17, $80)

Well, I mean, eBay adds tax itself if its owed, but a lot of sellers are out of state. Don't really know the Paypal and eBay fees. I was primarily thinking of "markup" in terms of how much more the...

Re: The inevitable SNES Classic is coming (inc. Starfox 2!; 21 games, 9/29/17, $80)

There's still a bit of a markup, cheapest I can find on eBay is $94 shipped for a new one.

Also, a number of scalpers are selling modded ones pre-loaded with additional games. These are listed for...

They'll ride out the SNES demand until it starts to lull, then they'll shut down the SNES Classic production line and reconfigure it back to NES Classic.

Re: The inevitable SNES Classic is coming (inc. Starfox 2!; 21 games, 9/29/17, $80)

The size of the screen and distance from it is a factor too.

When I got my SNES Classic, I tried sitting as close to the TV as I used to on a 27" SD tube TV, but now on a 55" UHD OLED. Super...

Re: The inevitable SNES Classic is coming (inc. Starfox 2!; 21 games, 9/29/17, $80)

This is a big part of the problem. The scalpers are still buying up a lot of the stock, to try and sell on eBay. However, the eBay markup isn't that high.

Nintendo can keep pumping these out...

Re: The inevitable SNES Classic is coming (inc. Starfox 2!; 21 games, 9/29/17, $80)

It was discussed in the NES Classic Thread (https://forum.dvdtalk.com/video-game-talk/635199-nes-classic-edition-30-games-60-bucks-11-11-2016-a.html) over the summer, although from what I can tell...

Re: The inevitable SNES Classic is coming (inc. Starfox 2!; 21 games, 9/29/17, $80)

It's probably the latter. They seem to by flying off of shelves as quickly as stores receive them.

I found a site that sends notifications when it's back in stock on sites like Target and...

Re: The inevitable SNES Classic is coming (inc. Starfox 2!; 21 games, 9/29/17, $80)

You mean, in terms of the replenishment? Because I think Nintendo has already shipped more SNES Classics than they did NES Classics.

Target appears to have unlisted it online, so the only way to check/purchase it is to call/go to the store.

Re: The inevitable SNES Classic is coming (inc. Starfox 2!; 21 games, 9/29/17, $80)

I doubt they will be "just as plentiful," as these were launch quantities, which Nintendo has been stockpiling since stopping production on the NES Classic in April.

Retailers are expecting...

Re: The inevitable SNES Classic is coming (inc. Starfox 2!; 21 games, 9/29/17, $80)

This hardware review goes pretty heavy on the details of the emulation, especially in comparison to the original hardware. They note an issue on Yoshi's Island at about the 9:40 mark:...

Re: The inevitable SNES Classic is coming (inc. Starfox 2!; 21 games, 9/29/17, $80)

I do think the supply increased, but I'm not sure the demand decreased. How many did your Wal-Mart start with? How many NES Classics did they have on launch day?
