If you're reading this then it's already too late...

Good thing is that there may be more stock coming in and more than the classic.

    I don't like the list of games. No Super Tecmo Bowl and no Ken Griffey Baseball? I'm out.

    If it's anything like the last one you can jailbreak it to put it on there.

    Tecmo Bowl would be no good because EA owns licensing.  I bought a version for my xbox and it just wasn't the same without players plus teams had fake names and colors.  That has to be an illegal download option

    Actually I think I have mine too somewhere. Mario Kart, F-Zero, NBA Jam were awesome games back in the day.

    I topped a world record time on F-Zero back in the 90's. Back when you had to take a picture of your TV screen and mail it into Nintendo Power. I mailed it in but when the next issue was published, so was someone else's name as they had beaten the time I submitted.

    Better than the NES Classic?
    I was a bit letdown by it.  
    I'm looking forward to the 6th!  
  • Jason PJason P Posts: 19,165
    I need Super Mario World.  I paid for it on the 3DS but the damn controls are too small (obviously why I suck now ;))

    Getting a Super NES and Super Mario World at Christmas in 1991 was probably the apex of joy for a young Jason P.

    For me, the NES Classic seems to have a slight lag.  A tiny lag makes games those games frustrating/near impossible

    If anyone locates one I'll buy it.

    Yeah, I picked up on a bit of input lag as well on my NES Classic.  Thought it might be due to aftermarket controller cable extenders, but it seemed to be the same when plugged in directly.
    So, no lag on the SNES?

    not sure.  mine just was delivered


    I actually did some research on the NES Classic.... and some people monkeed with display settings.  If you use the 'pixel perfect' one, it supposedly improves.  I tried it this weekend and it seemed to be much better... although it still seems like I am considerably worse at some 'precision' games such as Battletoads.

    Yeah, I tried to adjust the video settings on my TV as well.  Game setting, regular, all the others...didn't seem to help much.
