No, Amazon did something weird. The [normal item page] (https://www.amazon.com/Super-NES-Classic/dp/B0721GGGS9/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1503492512&sr=8-1&keywords=snes+classic), which was the one everybody signed up to receive alerts about, was not the same as the one you were able to pre-order off of. Rumor was they did this to prevent bots from snapping them all up - but the real pre-order page just had a description of what the item was, with no image. It would show up if you searched for SNES classic, but under the original page, and it looked kinda sketchy.
Thank you very much! I would also recommend keeping an eye on the /offer-listing/ version of the page

God damn you Forbes and your fucking money schemes. Here's the text from the article.
"Overnight, Nintendo update the official SNES Classic Edition console's webpage with links to six major retailers.
The website has changed to say "Pre-order now from these retailers" and includes links to Amazon, Best Buy, GameStop, Target, Toys R Us and Walmart.

Get ready to pre-order the SNES Classic Edition.
What time each of these different retailers goes live is an open question at this point, but I'd urge gamers to pay careful attention today as these roll out. There's no doubt in my mind that they're going to go quickly.
Best Buy's pre-orders went live briefly last night, and it's unclear if they've already sold out entirely or if the retailer will open pre-orders up again today.
Regardless, pre-orders will be going up in the very, very near future so keep your eyes open.
Meanwhile, as of this writing the links at the SNES website go to each retailers' home page rather than a store landing page. Here are the actual landing pages for each site except Toys R Us:
Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0721GGGS9)
Walmart (https://www.walmart.com/ip/Super-Nintendo-Entertainment-System-Classic-Edition/55791858)
Best Buy (https://www.bestbuy.com/site/nintendo-entertainment-system-snes-classic-edition/5919830.p?skuId=5919830)
Target (https://www.target.com/p/snes-classic-edition/-/A-52826093)
GameStop (http://www.gamestop.com/collection/snes-classic)
Toys R Us (?)
Stay tuned for updates throughout the day.
Here's a list of games coming to the SNES Classic Edition. (https://www.forbes.com/sites/erikkain/2017/06/27/here-are-all-the-games-coming-to-the-mini-snes-classic-edition/#208fafb01b96)

If anyone is looking for an even cheaper solution, Hyperkin makes a similar bag for the Switch which is currently $22.50 on Amazon: (Link: https://www.amazon.com/Hyperkin-Travel-Bag-Nintendo-Switch-3ds/dp/B01N128JLT/ref=sr_1_13?ie=UTF8&qid=1511026440&sr=8-13&keywords=switch+bag)

I want to add to this. There is a precedent for imitation products, but you're right about it being one that specifically encourages piracy.

Old game consoles get remade, but you're still expected to have the cartridge to play.
Something else that would concern me is it looks like he may have weaved official Gamecube hardware into his product. I skimmed through the post and he didn't appear to say anything about it, but I feel like if he was trying to make this a thing it would be better for him to manufacture all his own parts. ripping a generic wire out of the console is a little different than using a port Nintendo specifically designed. I don't know. There's such a large battle between what's fair and not that it really is hard to tell these days.
This one is the RetroBit RDP

I bought the Hyperkin Travel Bag off of Amazon, and I think it's fantastic. It can't quite hold everything you're wanting, but it fits the Switch, the dock, it has a strap perfect for holding a pro controller in place, and just a little bit of extra room (I use that space for a Joy-con wheel). If you're willing to put your Switch in a separate case (I do this because I personally prefer putting my switch in a hard case) or not bring your dock around, that'd give you plenty of space for all the extra accessories you're looking for.
Edit: Here's an Amazon link. It's even on sale today!
I do like that case and almost went with it myself. I ending up choosing this one instead though due to personal preference. Can't go wrong with either one.

To everyone looking to Amazon for pre-orders/early release, what's being sold might not be the actual console. Check the Edition and Description before buying it.
$300 NES Classic Controller, it comes up as the default product when looking to buy the console because the console is not available yet. Don't be fooled, wait until 2pm PST when the console becomes available.
Those cheap Chinese ones are terrible. The two I bought were barely being held together by the dozen screws in it. Cyber gadget makes a pretty decent grip, but it's quite a bit more expensive. I find that it is much more comfortable than the cheaper versions and has some game storage in the back as well. Amazon
As far as cases... If you want a case to hold the 3ds with the grip installed, the NES classic case is awesome. Just trim out the thin strip of foam in the middle and the gripped console drops right in. Even has room for a charger too! Amazon
Hope that helps!

Of course this is the SNES controller that closely resembles the SNES. There are other options.
This is the cheapest option if you want the controller and receiver, especially if you get it used.
After seeing these pics I drove to my GameStop, got my $53 back and ordered this instead.
Getting this one. Seems pretty legit with a good amount of storage and cheap.

Doubt you'll find any. Just buy an OG controller and an adapter. You'll be using a legit 1st-party controller for about $13 total. High quality and authentic.
If you like platformers or retro/pixel style games I'd recommend you pick one up. Or better yet, grab one of these baddies.. you can definitely find them cheaper than the one I linked here, and there are lots of great NES and SNES games that stand the test of time. I mean emulators are great too, and nostalgia is certainly a factor for me, but old games can provide a cool throwback gaming experience, and offer a sort of window into gaming history.
You can find that exact same controller cheaper or you can make your own. It is a pretty easy process to make one and you can buy the parts for about 10 bucks. Also, on underground-gamer and bitgamer somebody makes custom ones for pretty good prices. You can get a box that does just 2 nes controllers or 4 controller ports for nes, snes, n64, psx, dreamcast, etc...
edit: although for actually doing this I'd imagine you'd want to just jack the buttons from an nes controller and add them to a mouse.
"Remake! Remake! Remake! Remake!" Hey, I get it, Retro is in. But enough with the remakes already! If you want to replay an old game, then do so! There are a lot of options and it seems like all you "remake" kids are completely unaware they exist.
Get an original SNES. Get a SNES clone. Get a handheld SNES clone. Get yourself an emulator like ZSNES or SNES9x, which are available on pretty much every platform you can imagine.
But please, enough with remakes. I want some new original games.
I have:
Retro Bit Retro Duo v2
This is the first clone I ever got, back in 2009. The other widely available options at the time were the Yobo FC Twin and the Yobo FC 3 Plus. I chose the Retro Duo due to it's high compatibility on both the NES and SNES side. It was one of the few NES clones that could run the NES Powerpak, and it was one of the first SNES clones that could run Super Mario RPG. The FC 3 Plus could also apparently run Super Mario RPG, but it had terrible proprietary controllers that used the Sega 6-button layout, making SNES and NES controls backwards. The Retro Duo has S-video and composite output, though the picture is a bit darker than a real SNES. The controllers are fine, but like the console, they're made with a slick "mirror" plastic that smudges easily. Plays NTSC games only.
Retro-Bit Retro Duo Portable v2.0
Got this one in 2016. I thought the idea of a portable SNES was neat. I chose this one over the Hyperkin Supaboy and the atrocious Yobo FC Twin Go because I thought it had the best form factor. Plus it included a NOAC NES cart adapter, so that was a plus. Also included a plugin controller port and composite output cord. Screen is okay, about on par with composite video. Plays NTSC games only.
Super Players Entertainment System
Got this one in 2017. It's design is based off of the Super Famicom Jr. or SNES mini, like a lot of SNES clones (poor Lance Barr never sees a dime). The controllers it comes with are garbage. The consoles itself is really good. S-Video and composite output. Also had a region switch, so it can play both NTSC and PAL games. Strangely, it displays PAL games in black and white. I don't know if this issue is with all of these units or just mine. I'd understand if it was connected to a consumer TV, but I have it hooked up to a Sony PVM-20L5, which plays PAL consoles just fine. Fun little fact, this particular brand of clone has been around for years, and for a time was inexplicably branded with an Indiana Pacers logo. I find this funny because I'm from Indiana.
Pound Challenger
Got this one in 2018. First HDMI Chinese clone I've got. I wrote the first review for it on Amazon, and included a video displaying the input lag and video artifacts it displays over HDMI. So check out that review for more details. Long story short, it's a decent clone. Composite and HDMI output. Also has a region switch, so it can play NTSC and PAL games.
Argo Super 16 Bit
This is my most recent clone, and also my favorite. Why? Because it's one of the first SNES clones ever made. There's very little information about it online and it's almost a lost piece of gaming history. It's the European release of a Super Genius SNES clone released in 1994. This same clone was also released in Brazil as the Chips do Brasil Super Prosystem 16 before Playtronic officially released the SNES down there. Shout out to u/sagosen for hooking me up with one all the way from Norway.
It's got a solid build quality and some decent turbo controllers. Composite and RF output. Region switch, so it can play both NTSC and PAL games. PAL games display fine, but NTSC games are in black and white (the opposite of the above mentioned Super Players issue). Runs everything fine except for S-DD1 chip and SA1 chip games (probably due to the console lacking a CIC chip). S-DD1 games run, but the graphics are scrambled. SA1 games just display a black screen and don't run at all. It's worth noting that S-DD1 and SA1 ROM files run fine on the console when running on an SD2SNES.
And speaking of backup devices. I've got the SD2SNES, SD2SNES Pro, Super Powerpak, Super UFO Pro 8 (SD version), and Game Doctor SF7 (shout out to u/MuricaPersonified for hooking me up with that one). They all work fine on all of the SNES clones I have. Though admittedly, it's not practical to use a Game Doctor with the Retro Duo Portable. And again, like I said before, all of these clones use basically the same hardware and have the Contra 3 color palette issue.
So yeah, I hope I elaborated enough for you. I've also got 5 legitimate SNES/SFC consoles, as well as the Analogue Super NT, but those are different beasts all together.
I ended up getting a Famicom Mini off Amazon for $100. It has 2 built-in tiny controllers. The emulation is the best I've seen. The only downside it the entire UI is in Japanese with no English option, but I was expecting that considering its intended audience.
I still want a NES Classic for its English UI and larger controllers, but I'm mot paying scalper prices and I lack the free time to go line-waiting hoping the 2 people ahead of me don't want what I want.
Until it's more readily available, I can muck my way through Japanese artwork to figure out which one is Super Mario Bros. 3.
If anyone's curious about it, it's available here - https://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-classic-mini-family-computer-Japan/dp/B01M1VMFUA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1483411334&sr=8-1&keywords=Famicom+mini.
I preordered this one
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N13YIQJ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Looks good enough and it's only $10
Or pick up some original NES used controllers on Ebay and the Mayflash adapter (https://www.amazon.com/Mayflash-NES-SNES-Controller-Adapter/dp/B00B2K0C8M) which also works with original SNES controllers. Full disclaimer: I have this adpater and used it with my NESC, but haven't tested it on my SNESC yet, so I can't say for certain that it works. You could also try the Hyperkin adapter https://www.amazon.com/Hyperkin-Controller-Classic-nintendo-entertainment-system/dp/B01N3LNI3Q/ref=pd_lpo_vtph_147_lp_t_2?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=NRCEFFZ8J99B2CRS4274

back in stock Friday
I bought mine from the weird digital download link.
"Nintendo Digital Downloads/Game Trust Entertainment System: Super NES Classic Edition" that now points here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0721GGGS9/
I checked from my order page.
And later I got an email that said: "We recently learned that we may miss your delivery promise and apologize for the inconvenience. You will still receive your order of Super NES Classic. "
Try this as a replacement. It's even a SNES. Plus side is that it's a top loader even for the NES carts, which is WAY better than the side loader for the NES as you shouldn't have nearly as many problems getting the game to work.
Looks to me like a Retro-Bit Retro Duo Twin.

same as thinkgeek, except 20 bucks cheaper.
FYI that is not a quadcore.
Deep clean your games.
To do this I would recommend a deep clean. These games have 25+ years of dust build up and corrosion from people blowing in them. And simply dusting it out might not be enough.
To deep clean the games you will need to open them up this can be accomplished with a 3.8 security bit screwdriver. You can get those here from amazon for a few bucks. After it’s opened gently remove the chip and wipe out the inside of the cart with some isopropyl alcohol to remove any dust inside and set it aside. Then move to the game contacts these are the gold slips at the bottom of the game. Dip a q-tip in the isopropyl alcohol and firmly scrub the contacts until the q-tip stops getting a dark color. Use as many q-tips as you need.
After that there should still be some alcohol on the contacts. Use a pencil eraser on the contacts and firmly rub off any hunk that might have built up. I found the pink rectangular ones work best.
Next take a magic eraser and buff out the last of anything remaining on the contacts. Do this to both sides and then take a paper towel and some alcohol and gently rub off any dust or eraser markings left behind. Let everything dry for a minute or so and the put the game back together.
If doing that doesn’t solve the issue it’s a problem with the 72 pin connector. Turn the NES upside down and use a Phillips head screw driver to remove the 6 screws on the bottom so you can lift the top off. After that remove the silver heat shield there are 2 screws on the left 2 at the back and 3 or 4 on the right side. Once that’s off blast the insides with compressed air to get all the dust out that has built up. After a good dusting remove the tray and 72 pin connector there are 3 screws on either side with the middle screw being longer then all the other screws. Side the tray foreword and up to remove them pull the 72 pin connector off the back.
You can bend the pins back up or boil it to clean it if you don’t want to buy a new one or really care about having all Nintendo parts ( if so let me know and I’ll explain how to do that as well), but I personally usually just replace it at this point. If you don’t really plan on using your NES very often you can get a basic 72 pin connector on amazon for $10.00. If you play it often you might look into upgrading to a Blinking Light Win it’s more expensive but it’s designed so you don’t push down on the game and loosen the pins so it should last much longer and it will circumvent the region lock chip. Personally I love mine.
I think that’s everything. Let me know if you need to know anything else. Good luck with the repairs
Awesome setup!
You know you can fix those issues with your NES really cheaply.
You just open it up and replace the 72-pin connector. The hardest part is getting the screws out to open the system up (I used a bit of wd40).
I did this with mine, it barely played anything before but it worked amazingly after.
The original connectors on NES were kind of shitty and got bent down really easily, causing poor cartridge contact which makes games freeze or fuzz out (also causes that blinking power blue screen thing). If you want a quick fix, unplug the system and bend the pin connectors up slightly with a tiny screwdriver. That works alright, but replacing the connector works amazingly. It's not any harder than changing the hardware in a pc.
The hero appears!
http://www.amazon.com/Hyperkin-Retron-System-GENESIS-Nintendo-Entertainment/dp/B003O3EFY2
I'm sorry to hear that, you should get one of these, so you can even play your old SNES/NES games too :)
I have the Retron 3. It uses original controllers (non-usb) for NES, SNES and Genesis. Best console I ever bought. It is the closest emulator I've ever used because it's hardware based.
You could always go for something like this. It's not exactly portable but it seems pretty cool.
I have this, it plays NES games as well, and the screen is amazing.
Just ordered one from here. Only four left! Hopefully will get it this weekend and test to see if it's compatible with a Super Gameboy.
I think it's this one.
I've linked it at Amazon (US), but I've also seen it at local game stores in the UK at least.
This May indicate US Preorders will be up soon. Here’s a link for the French Preorder page.
Try and pick up a nes classic controller to go with it as they were sold separately and will be a nice extra if you add nes Games later and he wanted to use the NES controller.

You can find something like this which can play games. It isn't too expensive.
Games can run expensive. I would suggest searching at used game stores before amazon.
I don't have a rugrat of my own, but I can see where you're coming from with the power button. :)
I don't know how much you deal with digital cameras or memory cards, but I ended up putting a card reader in the 3.5in slot and that's come in handy a lot. You could just get a pod and have it next to the PC, but it's something to think about.
You'll end up using the crap out of that Harmony One, and just saved yourself more headache than you know. The one big thing with WMC (and something that I haven't devoted a ton of time to) is mapping the Back arrow on the upper left to a button on the remote. If you don't get that, you'll be using a mouse a LOT. Speaking of which, it's not a bad idea (depending on budget) to pick up a wireless keyboard and mouse for the impromptu internet browsing or just general stuff. I have the Adesso keyboard (http://www.adesso.com/en/home/keyboards/91-wkb-3000ub.html) which works fairly well and I get a good range from it (about 15+ meters line-of-sight) It probably doesn't help that I have a 5dbi 2.4GHz antenna spewing 3 meters from the receiver, but it does the job.
I picked up 2 PS3 pads and haven't had issues with them yet. I know there are some USB NES pads (http://www.amazon.com/Retro-Classic-Controller-Nintendo-Entertainment-System/dp/B00281PFQI) so you don't have to screw with adapters.
Yeah... I cried when I saw the price.
How does $10 sound? Amazon.com is magical like that.
Just a quick warning, some of that emulation can require a beefy CPU.
Ok first off does the computer currently have a VGA port on it? If so try a VGA to RCA/S-video cable. This is the cheapest test run option.
Now then as for hooking up controllers:
Hyperkin NES USB controller
There are a lot of these types. Hyperkin is a more reputable company so I went with them. Just make sure you read the reviews. Because you can get SNES & N64 as well as other types of retro style USB game pads.
Except it doesn't exactly work like that. The cartridge fits fairly snugly into the pin carriage. Each pin is basically it's own spring, and with use, these pins can bend enough that they no longer connect. The NES is ridiculously easy to take apart, and these pins can be gently bent back down one by one with a bent sewing pin. Or you can just replace the whole pin carriage, they are still available on Amazon.
Eta link tutorial for bending the pins down. Fix your Nintendo 72 Pin Connector:
new 72 pin connectors are like, ~$10 and fairly easy to replace. barring that, the lockout chip is easy to disable (fiddle with one pin (#4), carefully), but does make a select few games unplayable so isn't desirable for some, or for those wishing to keep their units as stock as possible. the unit i snipped the lockout chips pin on is rather beat up anyway, so no loss for me.
but lockout chip issues are usually a white screen and red flashing power light as it soft resets every second trying to find the lockout chip that should be in the cart. and even then, most of the time a new connector fixes all those concerns.
grey screens tend to be general contact issues in the connector.
and most nes consoles have standard phillips head screws. i do see the random one that had them swapped to the stupid nintendo lobed screws, but since you're the original owner and all, it should have phillips and it'll be simple enough :)
Retron 3?
Retron 5 is also available.
Why pay hundreds of dollars to play classics? My brother has one of these and we get a better selection of great classics for a much better price.
Here is a good clone

http://www.amazon.com/Hyperkin-Retron-System-GENESIS-Nintendo-Entertainment/dp/B003O3EFY2/ref=pd_cp_e_1
Edit - found the hybrid at a cheaper price
(Original - http://www.amazon.com/Retron-Genesis-Charcoal-Original-Controll/dp/B004L9B37U/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1334624004&sr=8-5)
I don't see a full-sized SNES or Genesis/MegaDrive either (unless you've got them somewhere else). If you're interested in the clone systems, I'd recommend a Retron 3. They're like half the price of a Retron 5 and almost as useful; they can't play GB/GBC/GBA or MasterSystem games, but for NES, SNES, and Sega Genesis/MegaDrive, they're pretty decent!
These exist because the patent has expired on the old nintendo systems http://www.amazon.com/Hyperkin-Retron-System-GENESIS-Nintendo-Entertainment/dp/B003O3EFY2
Here's an NES/SNES/Genesis clone for $50. The Chinese are probably just waiting for the patents to run out on the N64 to build a clone there.
The problem is that you're stuck playing original games or buying bootlegs since copyrights don't expire.
The sd snes adapter is programmable so it should be possible but as of yet I don't think anyone has implemented it.
Your best (and cheapest ) bet is probably the retron 3.
http://www.amazon.com/Hyperkin-Retron-System-GENESIS-Nintendo-Entertainment/dp/B003Y5AHPG/
I would stay away from lukiegames, there is many other better places to get stuff. I personally don't like how lukiegames get their stuff or how they operate. Their prices are much higher than what you could find on eBay. $100 for a SNES with the wires and no game is just insane. Here is one that has the box for around the same price. If you want a retron 3 here is one brand new. Here is just a SNES console with wires.
Please give your money to someone that isn't lukiegames, they are known as the biggest douche resellers on eBay. There are many sellers out there that treat people much better and sell stuff at reasonable prices.
This is the Retro-bit RetroDuo Portable, it plays SNES and NES cartridges.

It's made by retrobit, I believe, and is called retroduo portable
If I were you I'd get a clone system that can play both. The super retro trio is a pretty good one. https://www.amazon.com/Retro-Bit-RetroTRIO-Console-Genesis-nintendo-entertainment/dp/B00FQDEKM0/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1541727305&sr=8-2&keywords=super+retro+trio&dpID=51Rc%252BergSgL&preST=_SY300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch
That the controller that comes with the Retrobit RetroTrio, an awesome 3in1 system which I fully recommend if you arent attached to playing on original hardware. I'd rate the controllers 8/10, they aren't quite SNES territory but they're very good, and work with all 3 cart types on the RetroTrio which is very convenient.
http://www.amazon.com/Retro-Bit-RetroTRIO-Console-System-Nintendo-Entertainment/dp/B00FQDEKM0
I would look into the clone consoles. I have a Super Retro Trio and it has great compatibility. It also supports flashcarts/everdrive and repos. It is $54 on amazon. I have the original consoles but is nice to save on space and have all three in one box.
That is a hardware clone, and a poor one at that(made by ATGames). It may be officially licensed by Sega, but doesn't mean it doesn't suck. If you are intent on getting a hardware clone get a Retro-Bit Super Retro Trio. It is currently selling for $55 and plays NES, SNES, and Genesis games it is also capable of playing GBA games with an adapter.
You can get an everdrive or something similar to allow saves states, but if you are looking for save states in general you are probably best off buying a Retron 5.

I understand Game in the UK will also be selling it. I think this is a good lesson to Nintendo to make more units to satisfy demand.
Oh and if you intend to buy this to simply resell it, then youre a cunt.
UK pre-order link here
Well, in the UK game.co.uk is. TRU was but they took their preorder page down. Guessing they're out of preorders. Amazon UK was also taking preorders, but the page now says sold out.
I'd be shocked, SHOCKED I tell you if you can't just walk into a GameStop and plop down money on a pre-order right now. Back when I worked there you could pre-order anything that was announced, even if we had a SKU for it or not. We had a generic SKU for pre-order items that weren't in the system. GameStop is set up so that all stores in a district compete with each other for allocations of merchandise, and those allocations are based on pre-orders. More merch means more sales, and more sales means more money in the operating budget to do things like create shifts. That's why every time you walk into one they pressure you to pre-order crap.
Don't worry, amazon's got you covered for only 180€ (plus shipping).
If anyone wants a NES classic, Amazon UK have them in stock right now, it was $64 once converted to dollars Link here
Also Amazon Spain, which ships to Canada and I assume the US:

Hmmm...you might look around a bit and try to score a couple of NES Classic controllers (https://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Classic-Mini-Entertainment-System-Controller/dp/B01IH5O186/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1538599636&sr=8-3&keywords=nes+classic+controller&dpID=514d3-f2vgL&preST=_SX300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch) , it seems like people are starting to find them easier now.
Then, you could just take the button pads out of those (or even the whole shell and buttons themselves too) and drop them into your regular NES controllers.
It's too bad nobody seems to make a wiimote port to NES port adapter, otherwise you could just use the actual Classic controllers on your NES (of course that would add to cost).
Shit, glad I grabbed mine when I did, two days ago. It's $59.99 now.
> They currently sell the 2DS for $80.
Apples and oranges. A 2DS has a high potential for other purchases beyond the the device (further games, accessories, downloads). A Hypothetical miniGB would be one-and-done.
> TV hookups would be optional
Didn't you just say cost to build it wouldn't be an issue? Adding this feature to a device that already has a screen that is a one and done device would be quite a jump from that of an NES/SNES mini that has a single output.
> could be done through local wireless connectivity
Still saying cost to produce wouldn't be an issue? Already it sounds like way more than it's worth for nostalgia sake.
> I actually think the N64 Classic will be a harder sell because you'd need to buy at least two extra controllers
You mean no one would be willing to buy additional official nintendo controllers like these? Honestly, the N64 assuming it happens, can just as easily come with 2 controllers (which is plenty for a solid 64 experience). Hard sell? Really? Let's be honest. You (and everyone else on this forum) would buy 2 additional controllers without thinking twice, some would even buy 3 more... at least.
Yes it does: https://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Entertainment-System-NES-Classic/dp/B01JT77EDK?ie=UTF8&qid=1469654423&ref=spkl_1_0_2558842702&th=1

I never tried it but I heard it's good
Looking at Amazon they do already have several products like controllers out there, so I don't doubt they will release this. Then again, judging only by Amazon reviews for their NES GamePad Pro the reactions are very mixed.
Interested in cheap? I am. Some of the cheap ones for the NESC had lots of wireless disconnection complaints. The My Arcade GamePad did not so I got it. It's been really reliable so I'm happy with it. They make a fairly cheap My Arcade GamePad Pro version with buttons that should work on the SNESC (I think/hope). So I'll probably end up with one or two of them. The controller look and shape is completely unauthentic, but cheap will probably win for me...
I bought this:

And it works with retroArch, but the shoulder buttons don't seem to be working in games like Mario Cart. Any ideas?

Nice, that means I can use my 8bitdo NES Classic dongle with it.
Does anyone know if this will be compatible with the snes classic too? I already have an original nes30 gamepad that I would love to use.
8Bitdo Retro Receiver for NES Classic Edition (Bluetooth) - NES https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MQWUT0Q/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_EyFVzbMNP34PS
Yea they make ones for the classics that come with a bluetooth receiver or you can buy them separately. Dongle for NES & Dongle for SNES
The 8Bitdo Retro Receiver in the first link plugs right into the controller port. We use it with a Wii u Pro Contreller and a Sony Dualshock 4 (PS4). Work's great with the except that we have to sync it every use.
We also have a Wii Classic Controller (and an extension cable).

Also a hard case, only costs $10
I preordered this one
This one is similar, though it doesn't have indents for the joy-cons, and it's already black. Also a few bucks cheaper.

Ok, thanks - is it this? https://www.amazon.com/Super-NES-Classic-nintendo/dp/B0721GGGS9/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1517443436&sr=8-3&keywords=mini+snes+classic+edition
You don't have to mash F5 if you're hoping to find it online. Here are the things I did that allowed me to get one pre-ordered:
When the Walmart pre-order came online, I got emails from Walmart and NowInStock at exactly 8:30pm (PST) when the pre-order launched and at about 8:45pm, I opened my computer, clicked on the Walmart bookmark and since I was already logged in, I added the item to my cart and ordered it with two clicks.
Ideally, you just want to be as ready as you can before the pre-order goes live. The more time you spend logging into an account and/or typing in shipping & billing addresses and credit card numbers, the more chances you have of screwing something up or missing out entirely because the item sold out too fast or the site crashed.
I tried posting this for everyone as a new thread. It disappeared from the sub, so here it is again. I think everyone should have a fair chance to get one.

Amazon used a different listing than what was set up earlier.
Original listing: https://www.amazon.com/Super-NES-Classic/dp/B0721GGGS9/
Live listing: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B074XPZDQR/
Word is that they set up a second listing to thwart bots and trackers like NowInStock that would have automatically purchased on the original listing.
However, it also had the side effect that people who were signed up to be informed when the item went live through Amazon's own notification system did not get any notification - because they were signed up to be notified on the original listing only.
I'm saving up/waiting impatiently on this Super Nintendo Classic console. It was the only gaming system I had as a kid other than a very old and frustrating Atari, so lots of fond memories. I spent hours and hours beating Super Mario over and over again. I'd love to have the reinvented classic version, and I hope it's awesome.

If I had to pick, I have this on my wishlist because I miss all my old games. I still have my SNES from when I was younger but it doesn't work anymore. I got it for Christmas so every time it starts to get even a little chilly I want to curl up in a blanket and play so badly and it's killing me that I can't. Super mario world is my favorite game and I have a lot of happy memories attached to it, mainly being that it was the only time during my entire childhood I ever got along with my sister. We hated each other growing up, still don't really get along, but super mario world always tickles me and makes me happy because I had such a great time with it. I wanna be able to feel like a kid, and smile. Not a lot makes me happy but being able to play my old games this winter would. Plus it would be fun to be able to play with my son.
Sorry that sounds so mushy/sentimental, haha.

Retro-Bit Retro Duo Twin Video Game System NES and SNES V3.0 - Black/Red https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0012NZK8G/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_2mGyybV7Q99DT
If you're solely interested in NES/SNES I recommend this. You could also look into getting flash carts to play most roms on original hardware. Also I recommend playing original hardware on a CRT, because most modern TVs introduce lag when up-scaling NES's 240p up to 1080p, resulting in floaty inaccurate controls. If you see at least a few Wii U games you think are interesting, which I think there are tons, you should buy a Wii U.
Not only Japan, the Retro Duo console is a thing. I happen to work at a place that sells this and the two consoles OP mentioned.
No idea if he's lying, and if you want to help him out, go for it. But, you can also buy an NES/SNES dual console for 60 bucks on Amazon.

Amazon has a snes for about $54 after shipping or you could get one of these snes/nes things for under $40
Retro-Bit Retro Duo Twin Video Game System, Silver/Black by Retro-Bit http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001VDZN3O/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_u68ltb04AHWSB
This would be a relatively inexpensive hobby. The cheaper ones on eBay are usually cheap just because of the chassis's condition. So if you can pull the parts out of a $40 SNES that's all grey and scratched to hell, it's all good.
Or you could even use the internal parts from a new clone console.
I think they sell nes/snes combo units....

You should get one of these, it's play both. and reviews look ok.

I have no idea how easy it would be to get it to work. Someone in the reviews said it works well with their Pi though.
It takes less than an hour to setup RetroPie. How is that a lot of work? RetroPie is also very polished.
We got bored at work one day and a bunch of us ordered some Pi's, some nice cases, and proper controllers and once they arrived it was about an hour to set up before we were all off playing games.
P.S: This was the controller: https://www.amazon.ca/Tomee-NES-Retro-Classic-Controller/dp/B00281PFQI
Amazon sells them cheaper.. not sure what the difference is
http://www.amazon.com/Retro-Classic-Controller-Nintendo-Entertainment-System/dp/B00281PFQI
Saw some on Google for $6.
Since the controller is like 10 bucks off of amazon, i would go with that.

Yeah, I have be very careful when I start playing an RTS. Usually it goes, feed him, change him, swaddle him, and then rock him to sleep. Once he's passed out for 5-10 minutes, then I have a decent shot at being able to get a game or two in. Other than that, if I do play a real-time game I try to make sure it's a SP game that I can pause if I need to.
I am looking forward to introducing him to two player games as he gets older. I have two of these and will be introducing him to all the old classics.
This is about the closest i have seen.

Edit: USB NES Controller
You can get them for $11 on AMazon, or get the snes controller for $4. Depending on the phone you may need an adapter and/or some programs to make it sync up. Just Google the name of the phone and 'nes/snes controller'.
Looks good, but I'd suggest buying a hyper 212 and overclocking that pentium, as can be fairly CPU intensive depending on the accuracy of the emulation.
Also, why not get some USB NES/SNES controllers?

You could have fixed it with this, but nice lunch box.
It looks like a pin problem. Most of the time, from what I have experienced with my NES, it is a pin problem. Opening one up and replacing the pin set is really super easy! They're cheap, but I'll stop by work tomorrow and see if we have any extras I could send your way. :)
72-pin connector, yo. If you can't replace that, you don't deserve to work on anything, at all, ever.
https://www.amazon.com/Connector-Nintendo-System-Bulk-Packaging-entertainment/dp/B002DLOM6C/ref=sr_1_3?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1517525131&sr=1-3&keywords=72+pin
FYI, the grip is tighter for a reason (if you read the customer reviews). The original connector was soft and wasn't able to dig through the oxidation from the pins of the game, and would also easily get permanent set. The stiffer pins makes sure it grabs on tight for a good connection.
Edit: why in the fuck was this downvoted?
My friend did the same thing. He was getting a divorce and clearing out his house and posted on FB free NES, few games, 2 NES advantage controllers (one in the original box never used and still in the plastic) and multiple boxes from previous games he no longer had. The only thing missing was the power supply. I was super stoked and ordered one online. Plugged that baby in and got the blinking red light. I cleaned the games, blow the fuck out of them, stuffed one on top of the other and I could only get Contra to work briefly and it was all pixelated and crappy display. My heart was broken and I sadly packed it all up and put it in my basement.
6 months go buy or so and I find a store in my mall that repairs and sales retro games. He was like here replace this connection component on the motherboard and you will have a new system, cost $15. Bought it and swapped it out and I was back to a new system!!!
So I would suggest doing the same and always clean the cartridges with a q-tip and rubbing alcohol to remove any oxidation.
This one will fix the actual design issue and you may never have to swap out the 72 pin connector again.
https://www.arcadeworks.net/blw
This is the original replacement, it is cheaper, but over time you could experience the same issue where the pins stretch and don’t make contact.

Oh and retro gaming can and will become an addiction. I now own Atari 2600, NES, SNES, N64, Gameboy (orig) a ton of games and peripherals for the systems. And wait when you find home brew games and there is a company that made a brand new game and I sponsored on Kickstarter and will get the game this year.

Good luck! And have fun!
did you try replacing the connector?

Only if they could prove in court that Nintendo didn't enforce their IP. But Nintendo has enforced its IP over the years, so no.
Unless you are talking about running existing cartridges. In which case they already exist: https://www.amazon.com/Hyperkin-Retron-System-GENESIS-Nintendo-Entertainment/dp/B003O3EFY2
For me, I have no interest in playing retro games unless I have the retro controller. A newer USB-counterpart such as this off-brand SNES controller suffices. But for me, the old games are just as much about the old controllers.
Then you've got dedicated emulator systems such as this SNES/NES/Genesis combo which is really neat. And there's another one by a more popular brand that I can't think of right off hand that emulates like 5 systems. With slots for each system's cartridge as well as controllers.
OP, are you asking about like a video switch? Something that would take in all the video signals and allow you to switch between signals on the fly? Or are you asking about a device that plays all different sorts of games?
If you're asking about a video switch of some kind, you can definitely get them from Amazon.
If you're asking about a device that plays "all" games, the closest you're going to get is just emulation on a PC. Other than that, you'll have to look at devices like the Retron, but that only covers NES, SNES and Genesis.
Well, PS2 can play any PS1 game.
Also, I think there is a super console of sorts for Sega/Nintendo for earlier eras. I haven't ever used one though, so I've no idea how well it works.
Some of the more popular PS1 games have made it to the Playstation Network. They generally work on PS3/4 and the PSP/Vita.
Some games have made it to Steam, and GOG has some as well. I think FFVII, VIII, and IX are on there. Possibly X and 12. I haven't checked.
--edit: For PS1 games on the PS2, you'll need PS1 memory cards. There should be third party cards you can buy. I bought those back in the day since they were larger and cheaper than the official Sony ones.
My mistake. This is the thing he has.
Just throwing an idea out here, but if you haven't heard of the Retron you might be interested. Pretty decent 3rd party console that combines the SNES, NES, and Sega.
http://www.amazon.com/Hyperkin-Retron-System-GENESIS-Nintendo-Entertainment/dp/B003O3EFY2
It's got pretty good reviews so I'm thinking of buying one myself soon.
Also Genesis games. I got one of these when I moved so I didn't have to hook up all three again. It works great! Uses the original controllers and everything. From some videos apparently sometimes the sound is a little off but for anyone that just wants a bit more convenience with their old school gaming I definitely recommend it.
EDIT: Also, here is an Amazon link to the same item. A bit cheaper:

SNES Mario Kart

I could go on forever here. I have a [retron 3] (https://www.amazon.com/Hyperkin-Retron-System-GENESIS-Nintendo-Entertainment/dp/B003Y5AHPG) Best investment I ever made as it plays sega, SNES and NES games!
The rde iews show inconsistent quality, but I have a local store that sells this, and I have often considered buying one. http://www.amazon.com/Hyperkin-Retron-System-GENESIS-Nintendo-Entertainment/dp/B003Y5AHPG/ref=pd_cp_vg_0
Its NES, SNES and Genesis in a single system.
http://www.amazon.com/Hyperkin-Retron-System-GENESIS-Nintendo-Entertainment/dp/B003Y5AHPG/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1414040331&sr=8-6&keywords=retro+nes
I'd personally go with one of those classic game bundles, or maybe even something like a Retron 3 with some actual cartridges. In both cases, the included wireless controllers aren't very good, but you can connect authentic controllers to these systems.
Okay, that is a VERY different situation (not evident at all from your title). If you are not a nostalgic gamer, you could get some decent money selling these on Amazon or eBay. But you could also just as easily pick up a Retron (though the new Retron 5 is coming out soon) and play all these games if you are so inclined.
Do you want a real SNES or will a knockoff do?
You can get an FC Twin pretty cheap:
http://www.amazon.com/SNES-Video-System-Not-Machine-Specific/dp/B000SC1MUM
Or maybe this if you like Sega controllers:
http://www.amazon.com/Hyperkin-RetroN-System-Charcoal-Nintendo-Entertainment/dp/B003Y5AHPG/ref=sr_1_8?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1344367415&sr=1-8
And this is a new console, you don't have to worry about batteries.
For connection you're probably thinking of video connection, S-Video is as good as anything. If your TV doesn't have S-Video or Composite inputs you'll need s converter of some kind.
Personally, in 2012, I'd use an emulator. PC NES/SNES emulators have better support than hardware or the Wii Virtual Console at this point.
You know you can purchase one of those Chinese knockoff consoles for around $50. They'll play NES and sometimes Genesis games too, typically.
Example: http://www.amazon.com/Hyperkin-RetroN-System-Charcoal-Nintendo-Entertainment/dp/B003Y5AHPG
I don't remember how old I was when I was given Arkista's Ring I beat it through until level 112 or 113, something around there. I forgot about it and moved on with my life. Last year my boyfriend and I found my NES, N64, Game Boy (The Brick), Dreamcast, Genesis (16 bit) and most of my old games. For Xmas, I asked for this bad boy, since my NES was wonky and my Genesis wouldn't start at all. I never had a SNES (I know, I know shut up).
Anyway, I fired up Arkista's Ring, thinking "HEY I can finally beat this game now, I'm an adult and this should will be easy." Guess which level I died at? Yeah, same one. Its a game where there's no save points and if you die-die, you have to start over from the very beginning. I went through it for like a week and I got stuck here stage 30 at the bottom, except I was in the "hundreds" meaning like 3x as hard. Shit is sped up too, except the main character goes the same speed.
Eventually I just gave up and haven't played it since. Those goddamn ninjas.
That's never stopped anyone.

You could always get something like this if you're that set on old carts.
I won (from an in-store contest) a Retro Trio earlier this year. It smells like new electronics but it plays NES, SNES and Genesis games. I bought a real Genesis controller to plug into it and bought Krusty's Super Fun House (Genesis version) to play on it. I bought RC Pro Am too and it works fine with a Genesis controller.
http://www.amazon.com/Retro-Bit-RetroTRIO-Console-System-Nintendo-Entertainment/dp/B00FQDEKM0
My drunk ass is wondering though, why do cheap electronics smell for weeks but a Sony, Nintendo or Microsoft console never smells?
I'd rather get the RetroTrio but that does come with the hassle of carrying the carts. I'm just wondering what happens when you get bored of the games that come preloaded on it, since there's no way to add more.

This is the link to the one I ordered.
the NES mini controllers are plentiful on Ebay and Amazon and work great
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01IH5O186/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Edit: although $60 ish
I bought one from world wide distributors on Amazon. It is a legit OEM controller. The only thing is I had to pay $59.99 for it which sucked. https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B01IH5O186/ref=dp_olp_all_mbc?ie=UTF8&condition=all
So I spent quite a while on this for myself last year, and after a bit of searching, my conclusion was that the best experience will be to buy these three things together:
8BitDo's DIY line are fantastic, and as best I can tell are the only way to get an original form factor wireless controller for the NES.
Nintendo also sell modern wireless NES controllers, but they have extra buttons and rails for connecting to the Switch, which I think ruins the look.
8BitDo also sell the n30, but those aren't styled like the NES controller and have extra buttons.
I've still got it, https://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Entertainment-System-NES-Classic/dp/B01JT77EDK?ie=UTF8&qid=1469654423&ref=spkl_1_0_2558842702&th=1

Yeah, I feel pretty confident in saying that the employees set consoles aside, which I guess I can't be that pissed about because I did it too once (but not on a super hot item like this, just on a game we only got a few copies of at the store).
It would be nice to get one of these, but I really just want the controllers, which are also sold out everywhere and going for $600 on Amazon.ca at the moment since I already have an awesome modded Wii that I've put a lot of time into and has way more than 30 NES games. I want that controller though for authentic feel. Oh well, I'll get my hands on one soon enough, it's just like amiibos.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01JT77EDK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
The item page is pretty much the pleb link. This link is how people got them. When they are in stock, Amazon will be top of the list. I learned this from the Amiibo wars. Unfortunately I then forgot about it until it was too late this time around.
Target has them for $14.99 ( https://www.target.com/p/nes-classic-carrying-case/-/A-51608805#lnk=sametab ) --
Ebay has them for $14.97 but is out of stock currently ( https://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Classic-Carrying-Case-entertainment-system/dp/B01LYFRCWF?pd_rd_wg=tj2w4&pd_rd_r=a32c4105-6c7a-414d-9dd1-eef9750b7c20&pd_rd_w=bQzS4&ref_=simh&pf_rd_r=B2XCBJ10B0TDHYXA4ED8&pf_rd_p=b841581f-e864-5164-afa6-4c18a8348879 )

It breaks consistancy of the original NES Classic case. It should have been this one which is released in the EU
Well, it's a square, not a rectangle, and it might be a little bigger than you want, but here: https://www.amazon.com/RDS-Industries-NES-Classic-Carrying-Case/dp/B01LYFRCWF/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1495243734&sr=8-3&keywords=NES+classic+case
You talking about this? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LYFRCWF/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_W-q8ybB0KASNP
If so I already have it. Just wasn't sure if I needed to take it out and put it in a tray or just keep it in a carry on. Don't want to be one of those people who ends up holding up the line because he doesn't know what he's doing, lol
If you're talking about this one it looks like it could easily hold the Pi, but the controller slots are too small.
They need to make one like they did with the NES. https://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Classic-Carrying-Case-entertainment-system/dp/B01LYFRCWF/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1506460013&sr=8-3&keywords=nes+classic+case
Keep both and add the Japanese version.
Nintendo Famicom mini
Actually I guess they're on Amazon now for about $100. That seems like kind of a lot, but it's better than $250 for a NES mini I guess. Also it looks like they sell the usb plug for $15- $20 but just about any phone charger plug should work. I'm just using one I got from an old phone or tablet, I don't even remember, but it seems like they could have included it if they wanted to.

Pi with a good wireless NES controller works great. If you can find an NES Classic (they are gonna be released again this year) you can get a wireless controller that is very close to an NES controller, of an extension cord for the included controller (you will need one, the cords are VERY short).
If you want to got he cartridge route, you can get an NES and the carts, and there are 3rd party NES systems too, but the carts might be hard to find.
I'd go with the NES classic along with a wireless controller or the extension cord. It looks like an (small) NES and works great. I have one with both an extension cord for the original controller and a wireless controller, and have had no issues.

I think both work great!
I have not tried with a classic controller as I cant locate mine. I am playing SNES games (only games I care about) with a My Arcade Gamepad Pro.

This one. And here's one of 8bitdo's retro receivers. They work the same in Bluetooth adapter mode, by the way. But since I'm not seeing a Switch Pro Controller mapping in the Xinput section of the manual, I guess it doesn't work as of now.
Here's a good one:

And another:

Not as well-rated as the other two, but a little cheaper:
https://www.amazon.com/Hyperkin-Travel-Bag-Nintendo-Switch/dp/B01N128JLT/
It will not be possible. The dock contains the hardware that tells the switch to shut off the display and display video out. Without it there isnt a current way to tell the system to display over the TV.
Perhaps a third party will make a replacement in the future but for now, youre best off getting a travel bag or case. Or just use a backpack the whole system is really tiny anyways. The Switch plus cables and controllers is like half the volume and weight of an xbox one without cords.
I took a look at the backpack but I ended up going with this travel bag instead, looks like I should hopefully be able to cram everything in there.
https://www.amazon.com/Hyperkin-Travel-Bag-Nintendo-Switch/dp/B01N128JLT/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1492052421&sr=1-1&refinements=p_89%3AHyperkin
How about this? Is very cheap yes.
This one is also very nice and cheap and has space for the back of the joycons.
I'm going with the case that comes in the Zelda SE as it seems to strike a good balance between size and features.
There are a lot of officially licensed cases that are functionally similar to the Shiekah slate one, just themed differently on the outside:

this is what im going with first. i hate that mesh pouch for the console in the PDP ones. I am hoping some much nicer ones come out after the release and ill keep this $10 one as a spare
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N13YIQJ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I got this one from Hyperkin. It is only $10, has a mesh pocket for accessories and has pockets for game carts.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N13YIQJ/
For my case, I'm going with this case made by Hyperkin. I know it's blank, but I'm gonna customize it with Vinyl stickers of the Nintendo Switch Logo
For my screen protector, I'm using a basic plastic screen protector made by HORI. Since none of the games on the Switch will use the touchscreen other then for navagating menus, I don't think I'm gonna scracth the screen much, if not at all.
For SD card, I'm using a old 32GB Sandisk SDHC Micro SD I found lying around in one of my phones. Since I'm going mostly physical and only digital media I'll be consuming are Virtual Console games, I don't have much of a problem with storage space.
I have the controller that came with the NES Classic, but I use the two original NES controllers I have had since I was a child with Hyperkin's converters (https://www.amazon.com/Hyperkin-Controller-Classic-Nintendo-Entertainment-System/dp/B01N3LNI3Q) that work perfectly.
On a side note, I've yet to attempt to play or transfer Stadium Events/World Class Track Meet to the NES Classic in order to see if the Power Pad I own works or not. I'm actually not even sure if the Power Pad itself is in actual working condition, but if it in fact is and does work with these converters I'll be sure to let people know.
There's even an adapter for 10 bucks. So grab a cheap NES controller and viola, same experience.

My PS / PS2 emulation knowledge is non existent (never played anything on those machines really) but I've been emulating MAME, NES, SNES, Sega Genesis and N64 for years. It doesn't take much power to emulate those systems.
One easy / cheap way to do those things seems to be buying one of those new NES / SNES classic systems.
I picked up the NES last week, and then found out that the two systems have the exact same hardware and it's super easy to put extra games and even games from other systems on them. I've got my NES setup to play NES, SNES, Gameboy Advance and Sega Genesis games. It took me maybe 30 minutes to do that. (I'd recommend the SNES if you wanted to do that, it comes with 2 controllers vs the NES having only 1 and a 2 button one at that which means you'd need something with more buttons if you wanted to emulate other systems)

It's a game console that has a bunch of NES games on it - there is an SNES model too, which would probably be better for kids (except it's missing Super Mario All-Stars, which is blasphemous)... (Sorry if saying SNES is better than NES for kids is against the rules here).

Don't bother, the article doesn't really have much info other than links to product pages at various retailers that the author thinks will be offering pre-orders soon.
Here's the list (which most of us probably already have bookmarks for already anyways): Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy, Target, GameStop. He doesn't have a link to Toys R Us because they don't have a product page yet.

PRIME ONLY.
Here is the emulator I used for a while. Some folks complained about a smell of melting plastic from this model but I never had that issue.
Works great!

My son has a bunch of Amiibo figures, and they all seem to be fairly high quality. They aren't cheap flimsy plastic, they are plastic but well made. He also has a cool Amiibo display stand. They're like little plastic Nintendo toys he can play with and play games with.
You can also buy this for $100 on amazon looks like it's the same thing just smaller controllers https://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-classic-computer-No-Operating-System/dp/B01M1VMFUA
I had no idea these were rare? There's been some on Amazon.ca forever for about $150-170 CAD($118-135 US).

I have actually since it's my preferred NES controller and I use it to play Arcade Archives and NES games on my Switch. I've done it two different ways:
​
​
You plug your NES Controller into the adaptor on the Wii remote and you can use it that way. It's not really laggy or anything, but you do need a Wii remote to do it this way.
​
​
OR
​
​
I don't know where you're looking, but all the listings for "new" ones from third party sellers are over $100.

Just search 'Amiibo stand' on amazon it is the first result.

Unless you only play sidescrollers (sucks to be you), I don't see why you would base your purchase of a controller on that. The analog stick placement on the dualshock are an order of magnitude worse than the D-Pad on the 360 controller.
You can buy USB NES pads for side scrollers and shit. Or just use the keyboard.
