In the new Nintendo Classic Mini: Super Famicom trailer Nintendo published today, some of the features are shown off. Some of these were previously unannounced. Others are returning from the NES Classic Edition.

First, Nintendo has included a replay feature. You can use the “L” and “R” buttons to scroll back and forward in time, or pause by pressing “Y”. As an example, if you die while taking on a boss, you can replay that particular section without having to start over.

Nintendo also showed that it’s possible to choose from one of twelve frames to cover the screen’s background (where the game isn’t showing). These include a standard black background, city skyline, space, and more.

The Super NES Classic Edition will have the types of features you’d expect like save / restore points in different slots and display modes. Analogue (CRT), 4:3, and Pixel Perfect options will be available.

We finally have a straight answer directly from Nintendo about the North American pre-order situation for the Super NES Classic Edition. Later this month, pre-orders will open at “various retailers”.

Nintendo also says that there will be a “significant amount of additional systems” sent to stores for launch. More units will be shipped “throughout the balance of the calendar year” as well.

We previously posted the cover for the special version of Playing With Super Power: Nintendo SNES Classics. Amazon’s listing has since updated wit the cover for the paperback release. We have it above.

Just in case you missed it previously, this is the hardcover version:

Playing With Super Power: Nintendo SNES Classics comes out alongside the Super NES Classic Edition on September 29.

We finally have an official understanding as to what happened with the Super NES Classic Edition pre-orders on Walmart’s site last Friday. Unfortunately, the retailer is just now sending out emails stating that reservations were open “due to a technical glitch”. It seems that all orders are being cancelled.

Here’s an excerpt from a Walmart order email we received:

Walmart had pre-orders open for the Super NES Classic Edition late Friday night. Whether or not those reservations are kept remain to be seen, as there has been some uncertainty about the retailer cancelling orders altogether.

Your next option might be Target. A representative from the store told Polygon, “We will have the Super NES Classic, and it will be available for pre-orders on Target.com at a later date.”

This is similar to what we heard over the weekend. The AskTarget Twitter account said that pre-orders would be available, though later told another consumer that it had no information. Now that we have an actual response straight from the retailer, it does seem that pre-orders for the Super NES Classic Edition will eventually open after all.

Update: We’re back to where we were originally, with Target may (or may not) taking pre-orders. The same Twitter account now writes the following:

Original: Last night, Walmart unexpectedly began taking pre-orders for the Super NES Classic Edition. If you weren’t playing Splatoon 2, perhaps you were lucky enough to get an order in. Reservations were up for about 40 minutes before Walmart pulled the plug.

In one way, this is already a win over the NES Classic Edition. For that hardware, retailers did not take any pre-orders.

Walmart looks to be done at this point. But what about other retailers? Based on one tweet from Target, the store will be taking pre-orders. We don’t know when, however.

Technically this isn’t an official announcement from Target, so we won’t believe it until we see it. If and when Target does open pre-orders, we’ll let you know.

Nintendo brought along the Super NES Classic Edition at Comic-Con for the press to go hands-on with. The hardware itself wasn’t playable, unfortunately. View some photos of the Super NES Classic Edition below, courtesy of IGN.
