And Chrono TriggerHmm. they chose FFIII over the far superior FFII.
lame. useless toy.
FF3 (US) is actually FF6 (Japan and later US releases). I've never heard anyone claim FF2 was a superior game. Many people say FF3 is the greatest FF game, ranking pretty close to Chrono Trigger with Square's greats.Hmm. they chose FFIII over the far superior FFII.

Some lag comes from the TV's image processing, and some comes from the system.Anyone here have the NES classic? I'm just curious what the input lag is like on it and if the classic SNES is going to be the same.
When I initially set up my RetroPie on my Raspberry Pi 3 it had crazy amounts of input lag out of the box, but since you can configure stuff I pretty much have it completely eliminated. But Super Mario World was like unplayable to me due to the input lag. I'm assuming that all these classic consoles are under the hood is emulators running roms, so I'd think they would also suffer from the input lag.

Cecil was a great character. One of my fondest memories is when he becomes a Paladin and starts over at level 1 even stronger than all the other people in your party only to gain levels like mad on the way down from that mountain. He was like a power house. XDI've claimed it, like, a thousand times on these pages.
I don't go by Japanese numbers even though I know all that crap. To me, there is FF1, FF2, FF3, then FF7 and so on.
FF3 was great and I played it for hundreds of hours, over and over, but FF2 was something very new when it came out (more revolutionary to FF3's evolutionary), with a tight story that wasn't saddled by the "freedom" to select your party as in FF3 (seems like a great feature, and it is on its own, but imo detracted from the central focus of the storyline. Why was this Locke dude a principle? he was garbage. Tera was awesome, though).
Anyway, FF2 always, my man.
But you don't get it, brother. If Nintendo did that then they could not pretend like they were taken completely off guard by the "unbelievable" demand for their product. This will cause lines of people to line up at 4am outside stores which is exactly what they want. They want to media video taping this stuff so it looks like their product is this must have tickle me elmo that people are lining up at stores for for even a chance of getting one. They want this dynamic of powerful emotions between the haves and the have nuts to generate a buzz. The buzz spreads and suddenly the rarity sparks interest. The scalpers gobbling up stock while the fans struggle to procure stock become drama filled tales of legend that spread like wildfire and keep Nintendo's name in the media. The item is basically just a glorified publicity stunt. And a big middle finger to their fans.I said this when the NES Classic Edition came out: Nintendo needs to allow major retail partners to do more than just a limited number of pre-orders.
Amazon
Walmart
Target
Best Buy
Game Stop
etc...
For the first month or so, they should allow the SNES Classic Edition to be back-ordered. Then there's no way Nintendo has to worry about producing too many. They'll have an extremely accurate idea of the public demand as they start catching up with back-orders. If it must be a "limited" release for some reason, then just stop making them around 1 month after back orders are satisfied and they've finally had a brief time to exist on retail shelves.
No getting up at 4AM to wait outside stores. No lines. No paying scalper prices. No frustration with reseller bots grabbing every unit that become available online. Just buy your back-ordered item, sit back, and relax...you're already "in line" for yours as you go about your daily routine.
Seriously, Nintendo. Doing it any other way is just stupid.

I'm definitely getting or when though I own many offers the games on other platforms. Plus an unreleased Star Fox 2.
We know this will sell out immediately and be sold out long after. I've been trying to see if it's available for preorder on Amazon but no dice. Might have to go to a game stop to make sure I can get this thing since I was never able to get get an NEW Classic and don't want to pay $200 for one.
I understand the frustration, but I don't buy this. Further, I'd add that if you really feel this way, then perhaps a RetroPie is the way to go.
I'm considering getting a Raspberry too if I'm unable to obtain an SNES Classic this year. This is the case I'm eyeing however;

Do you think they'll make a newer, more powerful Raspberry Pi that can emulate N64 games too at some point? Preferably in 60fps and 1440x1080.
Some MAME roms can be a little flaky or require some tweaks. I've noticed it particularly with Midway games.Id recommend it, The Pi 3 is powerful enough for all the 8/16 bit consoles as well as PS1 for most games. I also installed the DS emulator but its still experimental and runs poorly on the Pi, also the controls are a mess. But anything Ps1 and older the Pi has you covered.

The gray cartridge was the less common version of the first 2 Zelda games (in North America, anyway). Gray was only made for the re-released “classics” version (like a “player’s choice” or “Nintendo selects” reprint). Zelda 1 and 2 gold are cheap / common today.Thats been Nintendo's MO since I was a kid in the 80s. Part of the reason I rarely take them seriously. Gotta get that gold cartridge version of Zelda doncha know, or even Tetris.
I remember when my mother sold my nintendo to pay some guy for his work on the house one day because I had just gotten super nintendo and she figured there was no need to keep the older set. It broke my heart to lose my classic games. Then years later Nintendo came out with the NES 101 and asked my mother to get it for me.The gray cartridge was the less common version of the first 2 Zelda games (in North America, anyway).
