[@vincebuell3946]

Any word on a release yet?

[@bryan006981]

Vince Buell September 29

[@tomassmith2088]

Pat the NES Punk 4

[@bryan006981]

Vince Buell no preorders available GameStop Walmart Best Buy are attempting to curb the scalping that happened with the NES classic

[@vincebuell3946]

No I mean when preorders go up or any info

[@Bobvanksy]

Ian seems to be in much better shape today, I'm glad.

[@Bobvanksy]

Might not always agree with him, doesn't mean I want him to suffer. + With all respect to Pat, the podcast gets better when there's two hosts.

[@austinherberger9505]

Star Fox 2 was finished, the leaked ROM was not the final version.

[@PatTheNESpunk]

Ahhhhhhhhh!

[@awesomeguy2009]

Austin Herberger Yeah. It was a near finished beta build.

[@DeRockMedia]

thats what i heard too...forgot which channel discussed this though..maybe Cinemassacre

[@austinherberger9505]

I first heard about it from Beta64

[@Jucelegario]

I seriously doubt Nintendo invested money for its completion after all these years. My guess is that they will release the leaked rom as the official final version of the game.

[@UpUpBobby]

Wouldn't play Donkey Kong Country? What????

[@shoopoopie1]

UpUpBobby I know when I heard that I was like wth?? dkc is the best snes game ever my favorite Nintendo franchise

[@johnsquarez6806]

"Donkey Kong country proves people will settle for mediocre gameplay, if the graphics are good" - shigeru miyamoto

[@shoopoopie1]

John Squarez lol he was just jealous rare did a way better job then he ever would

[@UpUpBobby]

I head Miyamoto was salty about Donkey Kong's success but I'd never heard that quote specifically. I'll admit it's nothing groundbreaking but "mediocre" is a little extreme. It's a solid side scrolling platformer with some innovative gameplay mechanics (the barrel sections, the mine carts, riding animals, etc.) I've just never heard people hate on it before. To each his own, I suppose.

[@lady1kaka]

I also think it's WAY overrated...

[@vts101]

I look forward to going around to various game stores and never being able to find this just like the last one.

[@AdamSmithNES]

tfw

[@marmcd2003]

5:07 Ian died briefly.

[@zackeryyy]

I'll always call it Super Nintendo

[@dougjones2296]

Nick Wallflower It seems only people on the net call it S.N.E.S or SNEZ

[@mainstreetsaint36]

That's what I called it. And I think it's the right name.

[@knight0fdragon]

Super Intendo is what I have always heard and called it growing up, you said it so fast that you skipped that N lol

[@harrison1735]

Super Nintendo Chalmers

[@MasterZebulin]

@@harrison1735 Gah, I knew someone was going to say that!

[@VoidHalo]

This makes me realize how special it is that we got to live in a time when big, bulky cartridges were the norm. Think about it, aside from those 25 years, there won't be any other time ever where that happens. Unless they make cartridges that use mappers that are entire computers or something, but theres no reason to.

[@MegaHarv]

Don't forget that Final Fantasy III battles are multiplayer as well. It's got to be about the least known multiplayer title in history.

[@dougsworld7533]

Kirbys Dream Course is honestly one of my top 5 favorite games on the Super Nintendo. Very addicting & a lot of fun to play with friends.

[@juntistik]

my friends and I always called it the "Super NES"

[@toffeemug]

That's the only way I say it. I don't even like saying S NES. Super NES just sounds better overall.

[@litigioussociety4249]

I always said Super Nintendo.

[@gabrieleriva651]

Super Nintendo in Italy.

[@RyanKentBarnhart]

The NES Classic debacle basically cooled me to this whole concept. I picked up a nice NES Bluetooth controller and am just going to emulate instead. I already have all of the consoles and flash carts anyway.

[@michealmchardy2871]

Thank you for making a stand on the pronunciation of SNES and NES!

[@dariusq8894]

The NES mini was a cute little novelty item. The SNES mini is a bonafide retro collection in a box.

[@Kaiser499TV]

Super Bowling is a really fun SNES game, I would have liked to see that on the SNES Classic.

[@matrix12264]

like you're show pat and ian you have great chemistry talking about video games industry love the banter the show just works

[@manuelpatino7863]

It seems Ian has acclimated himself to the outside world rather well after months and months on Pat’s basement. All joking aside, I love that he is back.

[@HiroPlaysGames]

For the sake of clarity, StarFox 2 WAS 100% finished back in the 90s, and never released, but the ROM that has been floating around the interwebs is NOT the finished version--it's an earlier prototype. That's why Ian is so excited about it.

[@Tgkjj]

i like seeing ian drinking beer again and no heat pad

[@The_Cold_Slither]

I'm pissed that Japan is getting Super Street Fighter II and the West gets Turbo. I liked Super way way more. I was playing it up until it was stolen from my dorm.

[@marccaselle8108]

I also liked street fighter alpha 2 for super nintendo

[@discoron77]

Will the SNES Classic controller work on the NES Classic?

[@lady1kaka]

Good old Super Soccer. Remember the referee stealing the trophy after the final.

[@dukespubber741]

If I were to round up this to 30 games, I'd add: - Donkey Kong Country 2 - Chrono Trigger - Super Tennis - Super Bases Loaded 2 - Super Adventure Island - Super Bomberman - Mortal Kombat 2 - Super Soccer - Breath of Fire

[@isragu6186]

I couldn't get my hands on the Classic mini NES but now Toy's R Us has plenty of the controllers in stock.

[@epicragegaming2016]

this game list is absolutely insane. this is a must have for any retro fan who just can't put out the money for the carts. and i checked ebay, sold listings for over 500 canadian. daaamn.

[@JB0523]

THIS FRIDAY, BABY!

[@jamiewilliamson9829]

I am so glad that I was able to pre-order one of these. I actually pre-ordered mine late, with it being a few days after the announcement. My local GAME store in the UK actually had 2 left in-store, which made me so happy to hear. The bad thing about it though was the price of the deposit, with that being £50, which was their way of stopping what happened with the NES Classic. Still, I now don't care and cannot wait for September. :D

[@TBustah]

After it became clear that the NESCE was just a stopgap, I didn't think this was gonna happen. I'm gonna try to get one, if for no other reason than to support "EarthBound". I can't believe that "Mother 2" isn't on the Japanese version, it's way more popular over there.

[@JustinEvitable80]

About the game prices, I never grew up with an SNES so my games were bought in the last few years and before any news about this. Here were some of the prices of games released on the SNES Classic. Super Mario World - $10 Super Mario Kart - $30 Super Metroid - $60 F-Zero - $20 Zelda: A Link To The Past - $50

[@JetFire0422]

I'm surprised Pilotwings was not included

[@ransom6892]

For me it would be DKC 2, DKC 3, mk2, nba jam TE, chrono trigger, turtles in time, final fight 3

[@Helvetica_Scenario]

This should have included Pilotwings, Axelay, Actraiser, Chrono Trigger, Legend of the Mystical Ninja, Pocky & Rocky, and maybe Final Fight 2.

[@bloodredroses88]

Helvetica Scenario I had a huge collection of snes games but I've only heard of pilot wings and imo it wasn't a great game. It's just a few mini games that once you know how to do it it's the same each time. You're not going to sink that many hours into it over other games.

[@toxicpretender512]

how many times are you going change your logo?

[@franco7363]

Ah. The SNES. My fav console of all time. Super Castlevania IV is my fav game of all time. +so many more...

[@Silvergun_Raven]

Really surprised that Pilotwings wasn't included. Makes me worry a bit that Pilotwings 64 won't be on the Nintendo 64 Classic Edition, as it was also a fantastic game.

[@quibquatch3975]

"You're getting longer and deeper games" 5:43 - Ian 2017

[@hughmungus8841]

No zombies ate my neighbors, would've been perfect

[@sam805236]

I just want this thing for the shell. I'm immediately going to pull out the internals and put a Raspberry Pi in there and put every rom and system I want to. This will be my ultimate retro console!

[@chiefmac88]

When it first came out we always called it just "the super".

[@takigan]

Question is, will it be possible to play Secret of Mana with 3 players? Doesn't seem like you'll be able to connect a multitap.

[@koolaidman531]

surprised I wouldn't have seen gradius 3, un squadron, or pilotwings but I'm splitting hairs here. Solid selection here.

[@ericplatt3817]

Glad to see you doing good Ian

[@jawstrock2215]

Which version is europe getting? if any at all? They had the famicon look... can't get japanese games right?

[@Bloodsack1]

Preordered mine through Nintendo UK store.

[@aymanys]

Well, I am looking forward to it. However, it might be hard to find one.

[@Pughy2o06]

Cant wait to get a hold of the SNES Classic 👍🏻

[@crazyrabbits]

I would have swapped out Kirby's Dream Course for Kirby's Dream Land 3 (highly-underrated installment of the series), added Chrono Trigger and maybe swapped out standard Mario World for the All-Stars/Mario World variant, but otherwise, a stellar lineup.

[@Vetal83]

I love living in eastern europe average pay is probably 2-5 times smaller than US,but those Snes Classic preorders cost like 99.99 euros,how awesome is that......i preordered two.

[@doalwa]

Five words, Nintendo: Where the fuck is Actraiser?

[@MikeHL78]

NCAA Basketball!!!! I LOVED that game. I was never great at it, but I loved to select Georgetown and just abuse people under the basket with Mourning and Mutombo. :D

[@Horzuhammer]

Oh Super Soccer... I had to check that one out 'cause I wondered what the hell is a "super softer." :D

[@enz9982]

No NHL '94 or '95? Inexcusable.

[@mikewhoelse]

I said super tennis last year pat. Surprised that's not on there

[@bwillythekid8249]

Pat talking about the SNES classic. Shocker! He's slagging it off. He's the real life AVGN.

[@PatTheNESpunk]

Except that I did not. ??

[@bwillythekid8249]

Pat the NES Punk then i owe you an apology. sorry pat.

[@bwillythekid8249]

C0vert G0d lol. big enough to admit when im wrong. i call it the nez/snez too. still think he's the real life AVGN thought.

[@gp63]

There's no way Nintendo will make enough of these to satisfy the actual demand. They'll probably double the amount they made for the NES classic, scalpers will run wild, and they'll cut the cord on the whole thing going in 2018. I'd be shocked if anything other than that scenario happens.

[@KiteAndKeyProductions]

Super Tennis is on the JP model, Pat.

[@tazgamerplays]

I would've loved for Chrono Trigger to be on it, but for a sports game, for me, it would have to be NBA Jam.

[@Rando1975]

Thank you for mentioning Nes & Snes. I hate when people call it Nez or Snez.

[@deathr0w]

I'm glad I got my Pre-Order sorted for my console can't wait to fire up a snes again

[@DeRockMedia]

I have always had every NES GENESIS and SNES rom (few 64 too but its weird setting up a non 64 controller unless i find a usb one).... but even though i have all the roms i still wanted a NES Classic and SNES for display purposes and also since theyre official Ninendo products. idc if ppl argue the bootleg emulatiors out there...i would like the official with a set library of all the games i actually care about (vs sifting through 100s of roms that i dont)

[@jdh3335]

How many of you guys were able to preorder one? The pre orders sold out so fast, luckily I got one though!

[@btyler423]

JDH 33 you can't pre order yet in the US

[@jdh3335]

Really? I'm surprised! In the U.K., Nintendo Opened pre orders as soon as it was announced and sold out in 32 mins! Scalpers are already selling them on eBay for £300!

[@btyler423]

JDH 33 any electronic in the US has to be approved by the FCC. That's why the snes classic and the Xbox one x aren't able to pre order

[@jdh3335]

Never knew that, thanks for the info

[@Canadianbassist]

While the obvious omission is TMNT IV, I'm surprised their isn't other beat em ups, like Knights of the Round or Final Fight, or other games like DKC2, or Phalanx.

[@Halkbi]

Not a huge SNES-fan, but the killer app missing here is clearly Sunset Riders. Contra III is probably bigger for most people, but I'd pick Sunset Riders over that any day of the week. Kind of surprised that you didn't mention that. It would also have been great to see Super Smash TV and Super Bomberman for multiplayer, but that's just nitpicking considering all the great stuff that's actually on there.

[@LIL_D_916]

Ian drinks his beer weird

[@Lordgenome76]

Kirby's Dreamland 3 would've been a fantastic inclusion.

[@Clay3613]

Amazon UK is making sure only European customers and accounts can order one unit only! California must be price gouging now too on those titles. Never seen those titles listed that high in-store, certainly online though.

[@franco7363]

No Gradius, no axelay, no UN Squadron, no Final Fight? :(

[@DogweIder]

I would always see second controllers for the NES Classic Edition, but never the console itself

[@KiteAndKeyProductions]

yeaaaaahhhh. thanks guys. :D

[@AlexiaVon]

These two were probably not even born when the SNES came out... They can only pretend to understand how we once were when we enjoyed these as brand new systems as a kid.

[@AlexiaVon]

pupper, They look alot younger then 40

[@TheRoomNote]

There must be a new shipment of these, I bought one today at Best Buy and I bet they had a dozen more. Don't pay scalpers they are out there!

[@viscountalpha]

There's 2 million but the demand is like 20.

[@PrinzessinRamode]

Panel de Pon and Tetris Attack have as many differences as Nintendo World Cup and Nekketsu High School Soccer Club on NES. Earthbound is a 200円 game here, maybe most people already have it. Fire Emblem is a little more expensive at 500円, but the series is still going.

[@turnerlarson12]

Would have liked to have seen Sunset Riders, Harvest Moon, and Sim City included in the game list, but I'm not complaining. ...And I always called it "the Super."

[@XtremeTony]

Madden 95 would have also been a good addition.

[@marccaselle8108]

And tecmo super bowl and NBA live 95 or NBA live 96.

[@VVhistory]

We just called it "The Super" or just "Super".

[@curtisalanmcgee]

sunset riders. that's the one I see missing.

[@EvSolo]

Only game I wish was on the system that I've never played is ActRaiser

On an off-topic note, I preferred the 100th Episode/CU Let's Play-style #CUPodcast logo. A bit sad not to see it in the thumbnail.

[@PatTheNESpunk]

We'll probably use both - switch back and forth.

[@KingNothing100]

I got a copy controller for my NES, was cheaper and came with a cable longer than 2 feet as well.

[@orcainbluesea]

Got my super nintendo at midnight.

[@dukespubber741]

Tetris Attack would have been on the system instead of Kirby's Dream Course if it didn't have the Tetris name.

[@townsjim]

I would only get one of these if I could mod it to play all SNES games

[@howyoudurrinhunneh]

Ian is usinghis poker face, on the inside he is really thinking OMG I WILL PRE ORDER 37 OF THEM!!! I am excited AF about this, it will sit nicely next to my NES mini that I had to pay $142 for :/

[@asrar39]

Sold Out .... i would be intrested in getting this as it is the console i had rather that the nes. also most of the games i like them. super street fight and killer instinct and MK2 we always had time for those games. what do you think about a possible N64 mini or maybe another company doing the same thing (sony ps1).

[@JustinEvitable80]

I never said "Snes". Always S-N-E-S or Super Nintendo.

[@DiggerjohnKansas]

NHL'94??? Greatest sports title ever.

[@TromaDogg]

UK guy here, I've got a couple of weird pronunciation habits.. I never call the NES the 'Nez', I always, always call it the N-E-S, as it should be. However...when it comes to the SNES, whist I don't pronounce it 'Snez', I do for some reason I cannot explain nearly always call it the 'Super Nez' in conversation and unfortunately it's a very old habit that's proving hard to break. I'm trying though, don't hate me :/

[@only257]

Awesome 👻

[@Ore0219]

I think they should come out with a GameBoy Classic next that includes GB, GBC and GBA games :)

[@GreenSoap]

It's gonna cost more than two times as much as the NES Classic here in Sweden: 1500 SEK (177 USD) as opposed to the 700 SEK (82 USD) for the NES Classic. Grade A bullshit, what the fuck. I ain't payin that, gonna import from the UK or something where the prices aren't as shit.

[@emailchrismoll]

Actraiser was an amazing game

[@843evorider]

nice to see Ian drinking again

[@funwithfamicom8347]

I hope your pouring that beer in a glsss Ian

[@maorofl4366]

Still never seen 1 on store shelves

[@Ripcord303]

I am excited for the snes classic but it should have Chrono Trigger on it.

[@GabMacedoo]

Not complaining here, this selection is still awesome, but I can't believe there is no Chrono Trigger, DKC2 or a beat'em up

[@Swoll826]

Shit, this is the first time I've seen confirmation on the plugs being wii-compatible. I want to get it just for that so I can use on my soft modded wii

[@ericemme747]

WB Ian

[@Deezz1212]

Ken Griffey Jr. Baseball for a sports title.

[@azaz...]

super tennis was cool

[@pigs18]

Besides not aging very well, the inclusion of NCAA Basketball would just be begging for a lawsuit. While they didn't include actual players, they did use real athlete's stats. For example, it's pretty obvious who the 7'1" "Flick" on the LSU team is in real life.
