Nintendo Announces Super NES Classic Edition

shadow1w2 · Jun 27, 2017

Well then, Starfox 2. Hoping its not the fan translated beta version and instead the rumored "finished" version that was once said to be held onto safely for legal reasons.
It's great seeing Nintendo totally be okay with FX chip games finally but I would have liked to see Stun Race FX on there and heck a bit more games than just twenty one.
The controllers alone I'd like to grab but kinda wish it had four player support, at least for Secret of Mana which supports three players.
Wish the price was a little lower for just 21 games but eh, they got me hooked already.
Time to watch Amazon like a hawk, sigh.

Really hope they pop it up on virtual console like they should have a decade ago.
We will need a legal way to purchase the game after scalpers snatch all the consoles in the first hour and no one can ever play that wonderful game.
Well if its anything like the beta which I've always enjoyed a ton. I hear the final version was vastly different though so fingers crossed we get that version.
Hope they post some footage of it at least before the console goes up for scalpers.

I'm sure the rom will be all over the place in no time but I really would like a chance to get this legally.
Hopefully Nintendo is smart this time and has learned they can make more money with enough stock for demand.
Plus they have Sega to compete with again too with a cheaper console that has more games and support for carts...... so really they will benefit the most if Ninty doesn't just, you know, be normal.

I still kick myself for not getting the NES Classic controllers for retail price for my Wii U. I won't make that mistake this time around.

No, Square Enix was stupid and skipped out on FF5, which they thought would be "too hard" for people outside of Japan. FF2 was Famicom only until PSX, FF3 original was the same. FF6 came out as 3 to "avoid confusion", which ironically lead to more confusion XD

7 is what started the confusion once Square just said screw it to the numbering convention in US.

I will do whatever it takes to get one of these. I already own an actual Super Famicom but I don't care I need it. I NEEEEEEEEEEEEED IT

That is quite beautiful packaging. Unlike America, a gray and purple monstrosity.

Yeah, the numbering system was jacked up for a long time

Does anyone know if the PAL version will run slower than the NTSC counterparts?

Did the NES Classic run slower?

It will run exactly like the US version. The hardware for the US and EU NES Classics were identical, only difference was the box.

Best not to think of PAL or NTSC anymore in the digital age. Both terms are obsolete. That's why you can easily import movies back and forth without incompatibility issues.

Yeah, I know that display compatibility isn't a problem anymore, I was just wondering if they used the ROMs that ran at 50fps or 60fps...

The 50fps ones actually run slower than the 60fps ones, not just choppier...

NESjimbo · Jun 27, 2017

All ROMs are the exact US versions running at 60Hz, hence games that were renamed in EU retain their US names, like Star Fox and Contra.

Right, but back then, games were rarely optimized for the PAL region, and had 20% slower framerate and audio, Sonic the Hedgehog sounds like it's high XD Hopefully the EU version won't suffer, but it sucks there's no AC adapter. Would a cell phone charger/USB work?

That's what they probably plan on people using...

I actually think the NES classic could be powered off the USB ports on most TVs

Yup, any USB adapter should work, just double-check it has the right amperage. The underside of the NESC said the amperage. 1.5, I think.

That's assuming that they sell extra controllers...

The NES classic didn't come with two, this does...

NESjimbo · Jun 27, 2017

Even if you couldn't find another NESC controller (I sure couldn't), the old Wii Classic Controllers worked, and included a home button which worked like the reset button. Very handy if you didn't have Hakchi and a shortcut enabled.

I shelled out extra for the Club Nintendo SNES Wii Classic Controllers, which should be identical to the controllers included in this box - though those had 3-foot cords, while the new ones have 5-foot cords.

Can't wait to use it as a case for a Rasberry Pi

You could even wire up the buttons, led, and controller ports...

Extra points if you get the ROMs out of the SNES Classic for use on the Raspberry Pi.

The controller ports are styled the same way, but they are much smaller obviously. We won't be able to use the controllers for anything else (or use original SNES controllers with the system).

Let's hope the 8Bitdo Bluetooth controllers also work with those. But we don't know until before it releases I guess.

You'll need a Retro Receiver for the NES Classic, but I can almost guarantee that it will work.

It may require a firmware update to the receiver, but, yeah... it's just a classic controller connection.

They have returned to normal price now. Well they have in the UK.

Guys, I think Zavvi accepts international orders so it means PAL Classic SNES could be shipped to US/CA.

Try these links as it can show up on any of 'em:
- https://www.zavvi.com/elysium.search?search=Classic+Nintendo
- https://www.zavvi.com/elysium.search?search=Nintendo
- https://www.zavvi.com/elysium.search?search=snes

And also, they offer a "WELCOME10" discount code to drop down the price by 10% but to be safe, better not to use it (the terms and conditions say it's against it but I never had any issues although it's not worth risking in this scenario).

Then there's also going to be on Nintendo Store UK and ShopTo (I've contacted them to know if/when they'll have it).

Shopto and Nintendo have sold out, as has game now.

Still here.
