superspynyg : 6/29/2018 9:25 am
Got one from Target this morning. Anyone else getting one?

I was not overpaying four this so I am happy.
too lazy to go to the store  
pjcas18 : 6/29/2018 9:41 am : link
ordered it, an extra controller, and an extension cable from best buy, should have it in a couple weeks they said
Also ordered from BB  
jcn56 : 6/29/2018 9:58 am : link
scheduled delivery is Tuesday. Not even sure why, my emulator setup does everything it does and then some, with a wireless BT controller.

Nostalgia rules, I guess.
oh REreleased  
Rocky369 : 6/29/2018 10:07 am : link
I missed that at first. Prices were skyrocketing around Christmas when this was released. Then they were all gone, yet I still saw similar packages for Sega and Atari in Target stores.

Sold out on BB. I got one on amazon but paid almost double for it.
Just bought one on Amazon  
cjac : 6/29/2018 10:33 am : link
i'm going to wrap it, write "Merry Christmas 2016" on it, and finally give it to my son who asked for it 2.5 years ago
no tecmo super bowl = won't buy  
GiantsLaw : 6/29/2018 10:34 am : link

No tecmo super bowl, but regular tecmo.

Plus super mario 1, 2 and 3, Donkey Kong, DK jr, Pac Man, Punch Out, Zelda, Donkey Kong, Galaga, etc.

Well worth it.

I feel like Uncle Eddie in Vacation.

One of my kids friends is going to ask them:

"do you have NES Classic?"

And my kids are going to have to say:

"no, but my dad does"

LOL.
What about Blades of Steel?

No, unfortunately.

But if they found a way to get Sega '94 into the NES Classic there I would have paid double.

I loved Blades of Steel (other than the annoying song that stuck in my head), but Sega '94 and '96, best hockey games ever.
The device is very easy to mod...  
UAGiant : 6/29/2018 10:56 am : link
You can add the entire library of NES games if you are ok slightly bending the rules...

I would wait a couple days for them to verify the new hardware plays nice with the hack/software.
This might help.... - ( New Window )

It's not so much me, it's Roenick, he's good.

I'm going to make Gretzky's head bleed for superfan #99 over here.

Mikey, is he cute? Is he brown? Would he like to join us for a cocktail? Is he polite? Is he clean? Have him take off his shoes

The biggest insult you could same to someone after that game was:

"will you practice this when I'm not here"

Breakfasts come and go, Renee, but Hartford? The Whale? They only beat Vancouver once, maybe twice in a lifetime.

The look on Mikey's face, so classic.
Just got the second to last one at Walmart!  
BigBlue4You09 : 6/29/2018 12:13 pm : link
Only $60. Now to figure out how to hack it...
Just picked up the last NES Classic at the local Walmart  
NYG27 : 6/29/2018 2:40 pm : link
They said they got 50 units and they all went fast. I got lucky and got the last one.

I hacked my Wii and loaded over 150 games on an external HD. I'm sure I'll hack this device sooner or later to add more games.

The three I really want are Contra, Double Dribble and Super Tecmo Bowl (much better than the Tecmo Bowl that comes with the unit).
What a movie...great quotes from a great scene  
ChaChing : 6/29/2018 3:10 pm : link
Different scene but love the "kill the bunny" dialog. "You're like a big bear, man"

NES: As mentioned Contra, Double Dribble (loved the explosion sound on 3s & dunks iirc), I'd add Zelda & Excitebike

Thanks for the info. Spent about 15-20 minutes over the weekend and was very easy to mod.

Main games I wanted was Contra, Double Dribble and Super Tecmo Bowl. Plus I added the original Mike Tyson's Punch Out, didn't like that "Mr. Dream" crap because of licencing issues.

Good to know, is the video really straight forward and easy to follow? Do you need to hook it up to wifi or a computer to download?

Get a raspberry pi and install retropie. You can emulate any system you want so you can get NES blades of steel and Sega NHL 94 into the same box.

Pretty straight to follow. There is no WiFi on the NES Classic, so once hacked, no worries about any updates bricking the unit later on.

You just need to make sure you have the current version of the Hakchi software for your device. The new NES Classic released last week needs a new version of Hakchi than the NES Classic released over a year ago.

Then search Reddit and find a download of the NES library (zipped files of between 450-600 NES Classic games).

What the videos linked about any they'll help you with the rest. You can even download mods to play old Gameboy (b&W and color) games on your NES Classis.

They sell cables the split the USB charging cable to add an external hard drive to load all the game. Personally, I only want to play a core of 30-40 games between the NES, SNES and Gameboys, so those are the only ones I'm going to load on the system and won't need a external hard drive.

Good Luck!
I hacked mine this weekend  
Giants in 07 : 7/9/2018 2:36 pm : link
The video in this thread was very helpful. The most time consuming thing is downloading your roms.

It took little to no time to actually load the roms onto the system. Thanks to whoever posted that.
