    I just wanted to flip one. By the time December rolls around, the flipability might not be as rewarding.

    Understandable. But at the same time, fuck that shit. Fuck flippers.

    What would be the next 30 games if a new one came out in a year?
    (not taking into account them holding back games, also tried to stay light on sports) They could really make 1 or 2 VERY strong units. You can take half of these out and backfill them with some fluffy/light titles.

    Battletoads
    Bionic Commando
    Bases Loaded
    Blades of Steel
    Faxanadu

    Super Pitfall
    Marble Madness
    Tetris
    Life Force
    Metal Gear

    Kung Fu
    Adventure Island
    Duck Tales
    Mega Man
    Blaster Master

    Dragon Warrior
    Mega Man IV
    Maniac Mansion
    Rygar
    RC Pro Am

    Final Fantasy 2
    Castlevania III
    Ring King
    Super Dodge Ball
    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

    Adventures of Bayou Billy
    Gunsmoke
    Contra
    Metroid 2
    River City Ransom

    Microsoft owns the Battletoads license. So that would not be possible.

    Nintendo doesn't have the Tetris license, and I think their tetris games for GB and NES have been removed from the virtual store.

    Capcom would have face problems with licensing with their Disney-licensed games. They did release that Duck Tales remaster-game, but their Disney games for NES/SNES etc would be hard to re-relase – and have never been. Would love to see Chip n Dales, Duck Tales (2) and Darkwing Duck though :)

    Mega Man 4 is regarded as the worst of the NES-Mega Man games. That would never be released before part 3 or 5.

    Microsoft owns the RC Pro Am license.

    Turtles would not be released, the license is owned by.... Activision(?) now and not Konami.

    Metroid 2 was released for the GB, not the NES.

    Toys R Us order cancelled... Knew it was too good to be true that I snagged one.
  • Still think this would have been a cool idea :)

    Understandable. But at the same time, fuck that shit. Fuck flippers.
    If someone is instantly willing to pay $300 for something I paid $60, I'll gladly take it. Now, when it comes to PJ items, I don't do it. I guess I just hold that more sacred to myself and fellow fans. We're a niche market.

    Regardless, TRU cancelled the order anyway. I didn't have to.

    The Wii-U sold barely 14million. Nintendo is niche these days too ;)

    They also didn't market the Wii-U very well. Everyone thought it was just a redesigned Wii. Everyone knows the NES, though.

    And PJ didn't market themselves so good with Backspacer :P

    Actually, that was the first time they marketed themselves in a long time.

    Ha, I picked up Blaster Master not that long ago and gave it a shot. After five minutes all I could think was "how in the hell did I ever manage to play this game when I was a kid?".

    Received....didn't open and play as I had a 4 am wake up call. Get home from this trio tomorrow night and have a feeling it might be drinks and game time.

    My brother got his too. Drinks and game time sounds swell.

    Still empty handed. Not really stressing though. These titles are available on emulators and I can play them on my cell at any time.


    Anyone have any insight on this?

    Walmart.com is releasing them around 5pm EST each day until Friday 11/18. Last night the controllers went on sale at 5:10, then the consoles at 20 after. I had a console in my cart but couldn't check out. Reports are to keep hitting "add to cart" even if you get an out of stock message. I can confirm this as I got an oos message about 20 times before it finally added. Then keep hitting "checkout" even if you get an oos message. It will eventually either let you go thru to payment, or tell you it cannot be delivered or picked up in your zip code. Only when you get the zip code message is it truly sold out. (I was unfortunate to receive this message after about 25 minutes of clicking buttons.)

    Don't panic if you didn't land one, by all accounts stock is to be incoming on a regular basis.

    Classic Nintendo strategy of keeping demand high while keeping the supply low. It's why it took me almost 2 years to find a Wii.

    Yep. Hype makes the stocks climb. Nintendo isn't interested in keeping consumers happy, only their shareholders.

    If they were all about keeping their shareholders happy, they would have gone third-party 10 years ago.

    I think they underestimated demand. And not wanting to be overstocked. Like with the Wii-U.

    They couldn't make Wii's fast enough with that demand.
