I was just trying to get a controller (got a console this morning @ store). refreshed at 5:00:00 and nothing. meh. went to the console, nothing, went back to the controller and it was avail for 9.99! great, picked it up, was done in 8 or 9 seconds!
I am going to pick up the extenders as well as the 3rd party carrying case to kinda keep it all neat and portable. anyone else?
the place i went to get mine this morning had nothing but neckbeard scalpers in line. they were watching ebay bins go up and kept celebrating everytime it jumped another 100. sorting bin highest first. "its at 500 bro im gonna make a quick 2 gs." get a f###ing life you fat dorks. i was really hoping some jordan esq robberies would happen in the parking lot.
Sounds to me like they were looking at auctions closing.
lol if you believe that i have an nes classic and a bridge to sell you
Couldn't justify bothering to get one, I've got all the games on the thing and an AVS, it would just sit in my collection anyway.
You can't even tell the difference between a mint box and this new NES's box (not that I've compared the two, but the box is beautiful mint) so it would will look nice even with you guys on the site that have insane collections; that's my opinion at least haha
I'm sure it does and would, sometime down the road I may even get one, but to me, I just want to play the games anyway. Virtually lag-free on the AVS with my own controllers is just such a more appealing option.
I noticed *immediately* that the lag on NES Classic Edition is very significant. Much more extreme than Wii Virtual Console on the same TV (at least that gives me a wireless Wii remote). It has resulted in countless in-game deaths already. Old Sony 52" XBR, one of their first 1080p sets. It has game mode enabled for that HDMI input.
[edit]
Forgot to mention I also changed the video filter mode to "pixel perfect" (from 4:3 default) before playing to minimize image processing.
I also saw very strange color effects when playing Ninja Gaiden. Stuff I never see with a real NES or the Hi-Def NES HDMI mod on the same TV.
[edit]
It's actually possible the latency comes from my TV; even though Game Mode is enabled. I'll have to try setting my Hi-Def NES to 720p to compare.
I'll check mine. Curious if any parts are interchangeable with original controller parts.
I think the "WCP" chip is probably in the Wii Classic Controller Pro. While playing the NES Classic Edition, I've felt a quirk that I've only previously felt with the Wii Classic Controller Pro and not with the original Wii Classic Controller.
Yeah I'm just gonna wait till these come back in stock on Amazon or see one in stores. Eventually people will run out of money to buy every single one that comes in stock.

Thank you for that information.
Wish they would've worked to make the classics more playable. If the lag is even worse than the virtual console, I'd love to see someone actually beat Punchout.
Best Buy was by far the most organized and conscientious of customers. They gave out vouchers instead of allowing people to wait in line only to be told they weren't getting one.

I had the same thought. Punch Out will be brutal.
You'll have to anticipate instead of reacting.

Fuck Nintendo and fuck the retailers for this thing. No pre orders in Canada and it sold out in minutes.
If Apple can make enough phones to satisfy demand there is no reason nintendo couldn't make enough of these rasberry pi devices to satisfy xmas demand.
I'm so over Nintendo at this point.
I'm just going to buy an AVS.
You never should have even considered getting a Mini instead of an AVS.

Don't worry about it, bro. Just start collecting Disney Infinity figures instead.

If theres one certainty in life, it's that Disney Infinity figures will always be around.
Yeah I'm just gonna wait till these come back in stock on Amazon or see one in stores. Eventually people will run out of money to buy every single one that comes in stock.
Stop being such an intelligent adult!
Seriously though guys, there is a lot of salt in this thread.
Play some damn games you do have, and wait it out. You will have one in a month or two.
Amazon can go burn. I was trying to get one for my little cousin, but I guess I will be giving him my profit unit. I doubt more of these will show up before christmas
I'm trying to get one for my younger brother, but I guess he'll have to have a bad Christmas. I'm sorry you have to give up your scalp piece though.
I do think there will be lots more before Christmas.
I only had one of these, I had intended to cash on the hype and wait it out for units to be more freely available, but I'll just give it to my cousin for christman, not hurting for money that badly. Before christmas I think will be a very tight time frame to get more units in stock, and if they are in stock, no more than a couple per store if that. They'll be trickled all holiday season just like the wii was
I remember when everyone was after the wii Mario 25th box. Went super high in price at the beginning. Then the market was saturated and price dropped. Same thing will happen here if we wait a bit.

...you mean to say there's another way to play these games?!?
I can pre-order a digital version of a video game that has no chance of selling out but not one of these?
Yeah. Pre-orders serve at least one important purpose: determine the demand so they don't produce far too many.
It seems like Nintendo ignored the insane buzz and played it waaaay too safe with initial production. Nintendo had PLENTY of time to gauge demand and produce millions of units for the launch. Seems they must have had some major snag.
The thing I don't understand...why some stores got 5, some got 4, some got 6, some got 12, some got 20, etc...something fishy about that. Methinks employees be buying some for themselves.
Having worked in retail during college, I wouldn't begrudge employees of places like Target if they were able to get one ahead of time.
Working a mindless minimum wage job should have a few perks when it can.
that's how I got my GameCube adapter for WiiU. That was another heavily scalped item

Youre lucky m8. Plenty of potiential buyers would like to give someone their extra unit.

I wanna see the inside of the controller

I snagged one from Amazon somehow.
How?
No trick or anything. I just refreshed the product page like a madman until I could add to cart and then checked out like normal.
