I'm rating them an 'out of stock' out of 10.

I got a SNES Classic for my birthday. The stock at my local game store was actually quite good. I didn't get the NES Classic, but my friends do have one. I'm really happy to have it, the SNES is one of my favourite consoles ever.

As a thought on a theoretical N64 Classic... I'm a bit concerned about the controller, and this time it isn't the cord, it's the design of the controller itself. I'm sorry, but the N64 controller was poorly designed compared to the excellence of the ones on NES, SNES, and GCN. That's one system I'd gladly use the Wii's Classic Controller over having one accurate to the original.

Was lucky enough to get one yesterday!

A big thing I would change about these consoles is making them be able to go online. There are so many amazing titles that aren't included. Being able to go online to purchase and download additional titles would've been a really nice touch.

Imagine a Game Boy Classic and how tiny it would be.

I waited in front of a Walmart for three hours to get a SNES. (They had 24 in stock) The hours I'll be playing Earthbound alone are worth it!

I was so happy to get a SNES Classic yesterday. Finally getting to play some games that I don't have in my collection. Never got a NES Classic during its first run: hope I can get one in 2018.

"You're getting these to play games right?" Yeah I wish I could say the same for the scalpers.

I'm just waiting for that GameCube classic

I really feel like a child again with this mini SNES and I still have to stop playing to go to gymnastics. I just miss my mom bringing me food.

I'd honestly say that the *Japanese NES (i.e. Famicom) and European SNES* console designs (which are the two oldest console that I owned and grew-up with back in the 90s) look better than the US version designs IMO.

I hope they make a mini N64! PLEASE NINTENDO!

The best thing about the NES/SNES classic: how hard it is to get them.
Seriously tho, Nintendo throws such a hissy fit over emulation when they couldn't be bothered to distribute enough emulators/roms themselves. Smh.
Though the release of the SNES classic is at least better...if only slightly.

Nearly a year later, and I'm seeing the NES Classic on shelves in my Walmart and both NES and SNES Classics at Target.

Bought the NES classic over a week ago. It was the last one available at a local video game shop. Now I just need the SNES classic!

"One of the most frustrating Nintendo launches of all time"
Josh, let me talk about something called Pokémon Bank.

Great review! As a collector who already owns alot of these games on an actual SNES already, I don't feel like I need to get a classic edition. However, it is Definately worth the investment since buying original copies of these games will probably put you over $1000 margin. (Games like Earthbound alone, cost $300.) But I hope Nintendo can keep up!

I don't get the hate for the Starfox graphics. I still love it. It's aged well IMO.

[RadioactiveMoth]

lol why buy an SNES classic when you can just buy the original games and play them by psychically reading the cartridge's contents and emulating it in your brain?

[lucky]

Got my fingers crossed for that Virtual Boy Classic
