In the event that I receive more than one I'll put it on the CP Buy/Sell for the same price that I paid (including tax, shipping) depending on where it comes from.
I will take one if still available.

Both my Best Buy and Amazon orders have shipped!

I'll be listing the unit that shows up last in the CP buy/sell once it arrives.

(Please don't message me now. Wait for the listing.)

Got to play Street Fighter II with some family tonight, these are great things to have setup at get togethers. Everyone can just pick a game and play for a bit.

F-Zero vs. Super Mario Kart is pretty amazing in retrospect. The former has stood up very well. The latter is almost completely unplayable. And not because the controls are kludgy compared to modern Mario Karts, but because the graphics are that damned bad. Star Fox also resembles an Atari 2600 game with a 1990s quality HUD. On average, I think the games on the NES Classic held up better over the years than the games on the SNES Classic.

But the true greats are still great - FF VI, Super Mario World, Zelda, etc. Super Ghouls and Ghosts still makes me want to hurl my controller...

Totally agree with F-Zero, it's still super fun to play. The control mechanics and camera angles have stood the test of time pretty well.

Well yeah, that's because you're specifically mentioning all the early 3D attempts they made. Early 3D, especially with the N64 and PS1, does not hold up well at all today. The SNES has some of the best 2D spritework you'll find anywhere, however. In that respect, the system is a gold mine.

NES Classic Mini prices are dropping now as a result of the SNES release. I just bought a brand new one off eBay for $220 including shipping. Double retail price, but I still found it fair.

You could have waited until the summer (I think) when they are releasing more.

That's almost triple retail price. It was cheaper than the SNES Classic.

Ah well. Rules of supply and command. I'd rather have it now than wait until summer 2018.

And that is how the scalpers stay in business, no better than them IMO.
