WHY THE FUCK DO YOU OF ALL PEOPLE HAVE A SNES CLASSIC!?! You have Nintendo hate in your DNA. I have a 2 year old that would love to play with this and you’re probably just keeping it around so you can brag about how it’s still in the box for the next decade. Amazon is currently asking $180 with Prime shipping for a SNES Classic. I could almost buy a WiiU for that! :)

I have a reason! I bought it specifically so that I could see how Nintendo would present and market a 20 year old unreleased game. turns out they did it in a really weird way. In english, it says "never released" - not "never before released" or "previously unreleased" (though it does say that in spanish), it says never released. also it advertises having "over 20" games, so starfox 2 doesn't count as one of "the games," it's a bonus. So much so that you have to unlock it by playing starfox 1. Also interesting that they put the switch colors on the top of the box to try to unify the branding. So yeah, that's why I bought it! Also I saw somebody on twitter say "preorders up on best buy" and I just clicked over and got one super easily. I wouldn't have one if I'd had to actually try hard to get it.

also to try starfox 2 - also I assumed the controllers would be USB which would've been worth it to me, but they sure were not.

I would assume they were Wii compatible, like the NES one. Btw, I just went to Target tonight, about an hour ago, still no SNES Classic. Aparently the Targets in SF that all have six of these also have guard dogs chained to the display. Either that or they were long gone before you left the store yourself because there ain’t fucking nobody with a SNES Classic sitting on a shelf right now unless the price is double.
