Just realized this topic is called SNES Mini but that's not actually what it's called. Even though I knew what it was about it's the Classic. Wasn't the revision of the SNES that came out late in it's life called the Mini?

If you googled walmart last week, the top story that was plastered everywhere was the "Check your Walmart SNES Mini Pre-order! They are being cancelled!"

Convenient Cropping is Convenient, I cropped the google search. RIGHT underneath it was the news stories. I was more surprised at that time by the 2 day shipping lol.

Yeah, but aren't those both the same thing? I was looking for something not SNES related to be Wiggy's "1st straw" to his SNES "last straw".

There were many straws before this. In nutshell, Walmart is an awful company and I've NEVER had good dealings with it.

Not really. In Japan, the last model released was called Super Famicom Jr., and the last model Famicom was the AV Famicom. In the US (and Europe?), they didn't give them special names. Just NES and SNES, as usual. Fans came up with their own nicknames, like top-loader and mini SNES, but they were never official names.

Now for these "Classic" systems, the offical names are, in Japan:

Nintendo Classic Mini: Family Computer
Nintendo Classic Mini: Super Famicom

in Europe:

Nintendo Classic Mini: Nintendo Entertainment System
Nintendo Classic Mini: Super Nintendo Entertainment System

and in the US:

Nintendo Entertainment System: NES Classic Edition
Super Nintendo Entertainment System: SNES Classic Edition

So in Japan and Europe, they have the word "Mini" in the title, but not in the US.

Also interesting that for NES, the US and Europe systems and games look the same, but Japan is different. But for SNES, Japan and Europe look the same (but have different names), while the US has the "exclusive" look for systems, controllers and cartridges.
