2 of my SNES Mini orders arrived today.

Pics or it didn't happen.

Everyone around here is talking about camping out Thursday night to be there Friday morning, but I'm just gonna stroll in on my lunch break and pickup my pre-order.
Maybe, just once, someone will call me "sir" without adding, "you're making a scene."

I live in a fairly small area. As long as I get there a few hours early, I should get one.

They are saying these should be regularly stocked, so I assume the same availability as Switch. That being said, I'm still going to Walmart at around 10pm and waiting until midnight.

I actually took a day off so I can go camp (first experience!). No store opens before 8/9AM here, so it might be a painful wait.
That being said, I also have a shipment from FNAC (EU) which is on is way. So worst case I'll play with the EU unit next week :)

I picked up my pre-order SNES Classic on my lunch break today.  I will get a picture of it when I can sit next to my NES Mini.  They will make a cute couple.

Tis indeed.

Don't know if any of you folks have played the version that has been on the web forever, but IMO, the new ROM is weak when compared to it. The removed the lock-on feature, which makes the charges shot nearly useless, which in turn makes the characters who's shots charge faster (but are much weaker) pointless. Fucking lame.

Couldn't agree with you more wiggy. I couldnt begin to understand why Nintendo would think that was a good idea. I always say "for every good idea Nintendo has, a stupid one follows".

But give the hackers some time and I'm sure they'll find a way to get it back in there! And that's when I'll bother replacing my current Starfox 2 repro with a new one.
