Just mentioning this again if anyone wants a wireless alternative for their additional controller: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B071RD47FM
Mine arrives today, which is why I didn't inquire about getting an extra official controller.
A little disappointed, yeah.

Only two other people at my local Wal-Mart when and my local Target will have more than 70 when the doors open later this morning.
Nintendo seems to have done a good job with this initial shipment and I hope they keep it up so that the scalpers are effectively finished.

Got one from Best Buy. Seems like getting an extra controller is gonna be a bit more difficult.
Weird thing happened with my Gamestop order. I received an error message as my order was being completed twice. Tried again and it said I had bought the max number of systems allowed. Checked my email and PayPal says I submitted two separate orders and would be charged when my order is processed by Gamestop. Wondering if I need to go out to the store and look for one.
Got one ordered from BBY last night at 2am when a Wario64 tweet woke me up. Will skip on the extra controller for now, as I don't know if I will even play the thing.
Walked into Best Buy at 9:03, asked for a NES Classic, was asked if I wanted an extra controller, and was out the door at 9:08.
Didn't feel like going out today or lining up. Was able to get one through Best Buy though, without much of a problem online.
Now I can decide if it's worth keeping and, if not, sell it to someone at cost or return it to the store. I'm still undecided.

I got the NES classic the first time around. Glad everyone is getting theirs this time around too. A couple of things:
- Yes, SNES classic and Wii Pro controllers all work with this. But the button layout for those don't feel 100% right for NES games, since the NES has the buttons horizontally aligned .
- The 4:3 and CRT options in the NES classic are... Not very good. Actually, to my personal taste, the CRT option is just downright terrible. All visuals are much improved in the SNES classic.
- That leaves the pixel perfect option, which for me is the best way to play these games on this unit.
- All that being said, for $60 this is unquestionably an outstanding deal. There are some true classics on here.

I'm trying to track down one for each of my parents. They're not gamers but I played lots of NES games with them as a kid. I think they'd enjoy the nostalgia. Mom and I beat both Zeldas with only one call to the Nintendo hotline (We had no idea where to get the Magic Sword in the original). Somehow we beat Mickey Mousecapade too, but after going back and trying it years later, I'm not really sure how we did it. That game is brutal.
Snagged one from Amazon this morning. I'll have to track down another.

I did. They had them behind the counter at customer service so head there first.
I think I was the only customer in the store.
What is different between the 4:3 mode in the NES classic and the SNES classic?
Its 2 hours before my Best Buy opens and no one is waiting outside.
Contrast this when the SNES classic came out and by this time there were already 75 people in line with more coming every minute.

There's pixel interpolation so it eliminates shimmering when scrolling on certain games.
I put an order in with Best Buy online but it said the release date is July 12. I'm in no rush, but glad I can get one for retail price this time around.
Ah thanks. Maybe with custom fw some of the SNES features can be brought over.
Could people tell me why they even consider buying this? You can do everything with a raspberry and even better.
I went to Walmart last night at 11:00pm and got mine at 12pm. I only had 2 people behind me. I was expecting more but maybe the massive amounts of people come at around 7am?
I'm in NYC. Does the Nintendo store have a good supply? Or if i walked into a best buy i can pick one up?
1. I want to support Nintendo
2. Setting up a raspberry is more trouble than I want to handle. I just want to plug my NES Classic in and have it just work.
Interesting. First I've heard about this. Thanks for the heads up.
What's a good controller to pick up for this? I think i have some original ones lying around do they work with this? The ones packed in look way too short.
Ooh, interpolation can be important for certain games like Zelda II. Before it was implemented in an AVS firmware update, I'd have to play the game at 1:1 ratio just to avoid the "shimmering."
That's freaking awesome dude. Good luck!
Perhaps you can explain to the rest of us why you feel the need to be a troll first.
no. if you own the physical cartridge you can download the game. it's piracy if you don't own the game. take for example the Wii U emulator Cemu. you could just go download Breath of the Wild but that's illegal of course. If you own the game and dump the game then it's totally legal. just because you run an emulator doesn't mean you are stealing games. that's why Nintendo can do he-haw about Cemu.
Man, this totally not the thread to discuss the legality of emulation.
i'm not suggesting we discuss it but i was pointing out to the person who started the "stealing" talk that it's not always piracy. i'm not gonna discuss it any further because yeah it's not the place.
My target had an entire box of controllers still, so people might want to look there if they need one still.
