Last nite Nimblepin and some other friends were texting me about getting in line and camping out....no way I was gonna do that, but hey - he survived!
I had looked up the stock numbers when they were up on Brickseek earlier in the week and had my plan. Burbank Target had about 100 and opened at 7am, so my plan was to get there at 6am...my friend got there at 4:45 and was #76 in line...so, Burbank was out. According to Brickseek, Pacoima Target had 250 units..so - I headed there...got there around 6, was #47 in line. Everyone was super chill. The line built to 100 or so & Target employees confirmed the 250 stock number. They had 4 registers ringing people up, I was outta there by 8:10!
As I left, I got a text from the Amazon Treasure Truck...and bought another cuz I know I'd have a friend who's morning got boned - sure enough, a guy at work waited at a Target and didn't get one....so - he's getting my Amazon one!
I can't believe how small and cute it is!!!!
I just plugged it in at work to try it out...wow, it's a phenomenal little package. The CRT Scanline mode looks FANATASTIC! They didn't put the "shit filter" on it like with the NES Classic...it looks like good RGB on a CRT! I tried the other modes but they're too "sharp" and fake looking...CRT is the way to go. I love all the borders you can choose. No discernible lag from what I can tell after playing some Punch-Out, DKC, and Yoshi. Unlocked Starfox 2, but gonna wait till I get home to play it.
Can't wait to hack it and add all my favorites that weren't included!
