Have they detailed upgrades at all? My family plan is paid through September 2023 so I'm curious what this looks like

 

[maximumzero]

Bought one and a SNES controller as well.

Wait, fuck, forgot about the Genesis pad. Oh well, I'll get one of those later on at some point.

I upgraded recently from a single plan to a family plan, and they pro rated the difference to essentially renew at the family plan. Probably do something similar for the family plan.

I should have done this to save on shipping but was in a rush to check out for fear or it being sold out. :(

 

[Deleted member 9929]

I got one of each…but I'm really starting to question my purchasing habits.

 

[Mit-]

Was it possible to get the Japanese SNES pad when that came out? Would really like that Japanese Genesis pad.

 

[Deleted member 8752]

Nice - I was able to grab two of each of the controllers. Not sure I care about the enhanced subscription yet.

Playing Sonic Mania with a proper 3 Button Genesis controller is going to be nice. And I got the N64 controllers more as a novelty - They may be fun for shits and giggles for some games like Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and SSBU.

Heck... if enough people want to play Star Fox 64 online, I'll join the service - I'm disgustingly good at that game.

When do the 64 games and new sub actually launch tho?

October 25, the same as the ship date for the controllers.

Got my order in for 1 N64. Can't wait to play OoT with that thing for the first time in a long time.

 

[MrNelson]

In for two of each

 

[Luigi87]

Ordered the N64 controller.

 

[gameguy682]

I just happened to check and they were there. I bought 2 N64 controllers and a genesis one. If the N64 controllers came in different colors, I would at least buy 4, but as it stands any 4 player game will need to use other controllers.

 

[MayorTortimer]

Grabbed the Nintendo 64 controller :) Worried that these will be annoying to get if I wait too long haha...

 

[animalcrosser]

$50 a year for the upgraded membership. Seems just a hair steep, but I'll pay

 

[GulAtiCa]

Bought both controllers, just 1 of each.

 

[Machine Law]

I don't even remember how you are supposed to play with these controllers. I wonder if everything will come back to me once I hold it.

ah wish it was sooner BUT not bad just 10 days away

 

[TheKid]

Bought an n64 controller for Zelda. This will probably collect dust afterwards lol

 

[Lakeside]

I'm going to need Wave Race 64 and 1080 Snowboarding before I bite. I feel like I can play these games elsewhere too easily.

 

[metsallica]

Got one of each for now along with a 6-button from the Japanese side.

 

[Tonswelt]

Do we have any idea if OoT will run at 25 or 30 fps yet?

 

[Truckondo]

I'm trying to figure out why the Genesis controller is the same cost as the N64 controller. Nintendo being Nintendo right?

 

[Alooful]

Would have been nice to have the controller in time for Oct 25th.

 

[Durden]

Wrong thread

I could be wrong here, but every time Nintendo released the N64 version of OOT, it's been 20fps (like on the console). At least on NTSC consoles (I don't know the PAL frame rate)

My controllers shipped out last night.

And it's a 3 button controller too. They can't be serious.

tbf they can't do the 6-button controller due to licensing agreements Sega has with Retro-Bit, but they should be cheaper to compensate.

In fact anyone pining for the Genesis repros should just get that unless you really have an affinity for the 3-button pad (or are a collector or whatever). It's much cheaper

Retro-Bit x SEGA® Collaboration - How will you play?

We are proud to work with the SEGA® in celebrating their deep roots in videogame history. Our partnership has brought back the look and feel of the original controllers while also bringing them to modern consoles via USB® and wireless models. Relive the controls that brought the arcade home...

I'm tempted to get the translucent blue six button pad, but is it easy to pair and use on the Switch?

 

[diakyu]

People gonna be real confused when they see the date for Sin & Punishment on that website lmao

Still waiting on mine to ship out, since today is the day they begin shipping them out.

Right now, it says Picked. Which I have no idea what this means.

why would you bump this

I read on reddit that "picked" means your item has been separated from the rest of the stock and is ready to ship.

My order was in "picked" status yesterday and shipped today.
