If anyone is looking for one but doesn't want to wait in a line all night, call your local Walmarts and see if they have a gameplan yet.

My local store is handing out vouchers to the first 40 people and they just have to be back at midnight to pick them up

I think you'll have a good chance at Toys r Us since they didn't do any preorders

Still have a few hours before I can pick it up but I'll probably play some SMW or Mario Kart with the wife first

I want it because of hype, but I will never use it if I buy it. I own 90% of the games included in cartridge form on a working SNES... Bring on the N64, 2018!!!

I hope you pretend it's the first day you got your original SNES. I remember that day. I had Super Mario World and Zelda: A Link To The Past. I colored my cartridge gold with a glitter gold marker.

I attempted to. Got to Walmart and there was like 200 people in line and I knew damn well they didn't have that many.

Attempted to cut in line, but they gave out numbers... Which they didn't tell people, so there were plenty of people waiting in line that weren't going to get one. I told a few of them if they didn't have a number they weren't getting one and a bunch of people left with me.

My brother succeeded as well.

Can't believe Chrono Trigger isn't on it (and we get the hot garbage of Super Punch Out instead), that will be the first thing that goes into it when possible.

Sure wish it wasn't overpriced and hard to find, otherwise I'd get one.

I'm perfectly find with my SNES, Wii and PSP doing something similar, though.

Still really cool that they put one of the best RPGs on it. But much like Nintendo only getting MHXX, I'll be getting the SoM remake and MH5 on PS4.

By what standard could you possibly say this is overpriced? Not that I'm entirely against emulators, but anything is "overpriced" compared to stealing it. Where else can you legally get SNES games for $3.81 each? VC currently charges $8 for them, and cartridges (for these games, at least) are much more.

You could say it's a bad deal compared to the $2 per game for the NES Classic, but let's be honest, like half of those games kind of suck. There are a few lame entries on the SNES Classic, but at least they aren't simplistic arcade-style games that fill up a lot of the early NES years. The SNES also comes with two controllers instead of one, so that narrows the discrepancy a bit.

Anyways, congrats on getting one, Mead. I got one too so we should exchange friend codes

I got a SNES Classic this morning too! Just got home from work and beat Chill Penguin, now I'm thinkin bout playing something else. I originally thought it was 4 save states total for all the games, but was really, really excited to discover that EACH game can have a total of 4 save states! That's great news.

glad the amazon treasure truck was a good experience :)

went to toys r us this morning before work. stood in a line of about 30-40 people, got in the store, stood in line by the electronics department, a few minutes after that a female worker holding a case of systems tells people to follow her up to the front of the store. sees me, and asks if I had a paper, I say no, she then tells me I can't get one (system that is)because those papers were given out at 6 a.m. .... this is my first time going through something like this, is it normal or do I have some bad luck.

went to work after that, and went to target after work. asked the lady at the electronics department there if they had any, and she said they were sold out since 8:30 a.m., with no idea of when they'd get more

thought about trying gamestop, another target, and bestbuy, but It'd probably go the same way...

happy for those who were able to get one though :D

No, it's incredibly standard now. I tried the same and was turned away, but I fully expected to be.

They basically had to start doing it for highly anticipated items, otherwise it turns into a bloodbath as people push their way into the store and to the front of the line. Now you just get a number and chill for a bit knowing that you'll get one.

I feel they need to do a better job communicating it though. I chatted with someone here "in the know" about what happened at Walmart, and he said that Walmart got 90 units in... However, when I got there there was at least 100 people in line, and about another 50 showed up a bit before the store opened. Wouldn't have been too hard to have an employee letting people know that they were already "sold out" if you didn't get the paper.

Yeah there was an employee at my store routinely doing this, they should have done the same.

I only knew they were handing out tickets because I was calling around yesterday to see what stores were doing.

Meh. I can play any SNES game (as well as most on several other consoles) anytime I want thanks to the Raspberry Pi. I mean, I like the idea of the ~40 sec rewind for save states, but I can have multiple save states AND cheat if I want. Cost me about the same too.

I friend of mine just got one this morning and he's happy with it.

I actually got my NES classic the same way like a month ago. I just happened to be across the country passing through Chicago when they I got a notification that the treasure truck was downtown and selling NES Classics.

It was like divine intervention wanted me to have that NES.
