GameStop says it will have more SNES Classic Edition stock “very soon”
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 14 Comments
Much like Switch, the Super NES Classic Edition is a hot item this year. Many stores are already sold out despite only having launched on Friday.
At least in GameStop’s case, the retailer is promising more stock “very soon.” This applies to GameStop’s own stores and ThinkGeek outlets.
A look into the tech and emulation of the Super NES Classic Edition
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 10 Comments
Digital Foundry has taken an extensive look at the Super NES Classic Edition. The site’s report is based on the European version, but all units are essentially the same – just with slightly different designs.
First, similar to the NES Mini, the SNES Classic Edition only outputs at 720p. That makes sense though based on the way games used to run.
8Bitdo Retro Receiver updated for SNES / Super Famicom Classic Edition support
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
The 8Bitdo Retro Receiver came out last year. It allows you to play the NES wirelessly with the original mode, the Analogue Nt, and other aftermarket NES systems. The device is also compatible with any 8Bitdo controller or arcade stick, as well as wireless next-gen controllers.
With the release of the Super NES Classic Edition (and Super Famicom version), you’ll be happy to hear that the Retro Receiver now supports the device. The firmware was updated to version 1.07 today to add in the functionality. You can grab the latest version here.

Nintendo on Mario World / Yoshi’s Island – Yoshi’s creation and having him in a starring role, visual style, more
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 3 Comments
Nintendo has translated the full Super Mario World / Yoshi’s Island interview we saw snippets of in Japanese earlier this week. Out of all of Nintendo’s interviews for the SNES Classic Edition thus far, this one might be the most interesting.
Takashi Tezuka, Shigefumi Hino, and Hisashi Nogami were all present to talk about the SNES games. They chatted about how Yoshi came to be, how he ended up getting a starring role in his own title, the visual style for Yoshi’s Island, and a bunch more. We also have the official translation about the original plan to have Mario hitting Yoshi when his tongue sticks out.
Continue on below for the full interview with Tezuka, Hino, and Nogami.

Retailers don’t know when, but say SNES Classic Edition will return throughout the holidays
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 4 Comments
Early reports from consumers indicate that Nintendo has done a much better job with Super NES Classic Edition shipments compared to last year’s NES Classic Edition. Still, if you’ve lucked out on finding a unit, don’t turn to the likes of eBay just yet.
Polygon heard from Target, GameStop, and Toys “R” Us that more SNES Classic Edition consoles will be available throughout the holiday season. The only slight unknown is Best Buy. The retailer did not respond to Polygon’s inquiry, but it’s very unlikely they’ll be left out of future shipments.
As for Target, GameStop, and Toys “R” Us, they say the restocks will take place sporadically during the holiday season. They’re just not offering any specific dates in terms of additional shipments. Customers will be provided with updates when shipments are expected.

New look at the new Kirby Robobot Armor figure
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 2 Comments
At Wonder Festival earlier this year, one of the new figures revealed was from Kirby: Planet Robobot. Kirby is getting a new figure in his Robobot Armor.
The figure is on display at the All Japan Model and Hobby Show this weekend, and we have a couple of new photos of the product. It’s in the prototype stage, so it’s mostly still devoid of color.
Good Smile will be releasing the figure at some point in the future. More information will be shared later.
