I wonder if Starfox 2 will be an all new final build, or if they'll be using the almost final ROM that's been floating around the internet forever.

I hope it'll be the build that journalists got to play, by all accounts it was much further along than the ROM that's available.

Cuthbert also said this about it:

It was very disappointing of course, I had spent two years making the game and put so many ideas into it. I could understand the marketing/publisher logic behind the decision but it was still disappointing.
 

I can't really comment on that [feelings about the ROM], and it's illegal to do reproduction cartridges. The videos I've seen of that build show it to be an old build and not the final one as there are some major gameplay elements missing such as the rogue-style encounter system and more variations of the various arenas and setups.

It's an awesome selection of games but I'd still gut it without hesitation, replacing games I have little interest in playing in 2017 with these:

 

- Assault Suit Valken

- Super Aleste

- Demon's Crest

- Pocky & Rocky 2

- Jikkyou Oshaberi Parodius

- Wild Guns

- Ninja Warriors Again

- Stunt Race FX

- Live A Live

- Famicom Detective Club part 2

 

They must be using a superb emulator to be able to make Super FX support a centrepiece of the experience, which is encouraging.

 

I can't wait to play beautifully upscaled full screen / speed - hopefully with minimal lag - SNES on the big screen and assert total 2-player domination over all who dare challenge me. My old SNES is a stock PAL unit I only ever think about in terms of hardware I have no intention of ever using again.

Although my SNES is still hooked up it will be nice to play it on a HDTV without framemeisters and other things. Just plug in, turn on and play. I think the game selection is good enough and once it's inevitably hacked we will be able to add a few extras. I wonder what Starfox 1/2 will run like. If they somehow manage to make it run smoother than it did on the SNES i might wet myself.

I only want it for Super Mario World .... 

[sandman]

Hmm, I haven't managed to pre-order as I don't shop online much and cant recall my login details.

 

But, CEX had 2 NES minis in when I was in there yesterday - sure they were a bit pricey, but if I have to pay £140ish for one of these 6 months after launch then I'm nut sure how unhappy I will be

Glad I shifted my SNES Club Nintendo controller the other week, surely these are going to be the same thing and will bring the value right down.

 

Dithered over switching to Smyths earlier as it was cheaper than Amazon. Went back 5 minutes later and the price had gone up to £79.99

 

It looks like a different connector compared to the Club Nintendo controller. At least I hope it is, I've been meaning to sell mine for ages.

But isn't it compatible with Classic Controllers which is the same Wii connector?

[the_debaser]

Always thought cybernator was really clunky to play. 

 

I'd quite like the Turtles fighting game, that was pretty fun from memory. 

[Zombait]

Just realised I'm buying Super Mario World again! That's SNES, GBA, Wii VC, 3DS, Wii U and now SNES Mini. There's no other game I've bought 6 times

Different but sort of similar Assault Suit Leynos is on sale at £3.99 over on PSN if that's any good / of interest to you .

Agreed. Fantastic game at a great price.

[Sir DangerM]

Can't they just release all these games on Switch pleeeeease?

By the sound of it, virtual console is not going to be on Switch.

 

There will be classics released as part of their service though.

[wullie]

I've played Link To The Past so many times, but I'm not sure if I've ever actually finished it all the way through. This is my Everest now.

Similarly, Gunhound EX is a game clearly in that vein, £3.29 on Steam. Can't speak to its quality though!

How about StreetFighter 2 ... i must have brought that more times then i care to remember 

[Dave White]

great roster but after chatting with mrhoodedclaw he raised the very valid point of why no super tennis?

[jimmbob]

After the preorder madness, there's one thing I think we can all  agree on. Shopto's website is absolute botty water.

Think we will be able to add games to it once someone found out how to do it. 

 

[RetroPlays]

Oh man I was going to order in Game today as I've store credit, can't believe they've gone already. 
 
Didnt they  only go up around 7 last night? 

They don't take payment right away, smyths have them in stores near me

[RetroPlays]

 
Not any more!
 
I was lucky enough to get the Amazon pre-order. I never did see it come up on the site search, it was the luck of seeing a link on Twitter. 

Just checked and newry and a few more have stock

[Hoodedclaw]

Simplygames are doing sign up for interest whatever that means like

Give Amazon their due, I was in and out with a pre-order in a couple of clicks (thanks again, @deKay); so pleased to have made the cut this time, having missed out on the NES classic.

[jimmbob]

I cancelled my Shopto preorder and went with Amazon. I should have perhaps kept it for someone on here, but £85 is a bit of a rip, plus I think if the price drops they only give you store credit, could be wrong though.

[watusi]

Looks to be available to order at game stop. £89 though!

FUCK! I'm currently on holiday, open this thread and can't pre order anywhere 

 

 

Can I register interest with one of you lot that's ordered three or four please?

While there are a handful of notable omissions, this is still one of the finest lists of games you could get. Apart from Mega Man. I don't know what it is, but I really, really just don't get the love for the series. 

 

Regardless, if my Smyths preorder doesn't come through I'll be genuinely upset. The SNES wasn't my first console by any means but the games on there, the memories I have of buying them, playing them stick with me like little else. 

[utero2001]

Grainger Games have them up for pre-order at £85, the website is crawling

Have Smyths been taking money from people yet or were the card details just to secure the pre-orders? 

 

Just wondering if it could be caused by a card issue at my end? 

 

From reading your email it looks like it may have failed the Fraud checks they have in place. Could be if the card details don't match the billing address details or if your details entered (card, phone number, email address or delivery address) has been flagged as High Risk by their fraud checking system  (if they use SagePay for that).
