What I find odd is that no retailer seems to have pre-orders. Game Stop says "Unavailable" and the same on Amazon. Nintendo doesn't have it listed to pre-order on its site either. I wonder who will carry these? I live in a small town that ironically has 2 Game Stops so I should be able to snag on on 11/11 if they are carrying it.

Everywhere seems to have sold out their preorder allocation, you need a time machine to go back to July when it was first announced to place an order I think...

Good luck getting your hands on one. Nintendo appears to be botching the supply chain (as usual!). Stores know this will be one of the hottest products of the season but my contacts tell me they are getting very little information on when they will get more after the first day sellout and how many.

> Notice something about the title? Yeah, it isn’t Mike Tyson’s Punch-Out!! The game is exactly the same, but you fight a palette-swapped Tyson at the end — they made him white and changed his name to Mr. Dream. Sad, really, but how often did you even get that far? Turns out this is a great party game. What a shame :( I wonder how much extra money it would have cost them for the licensing.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

The article is literally about them making a console with these games right now.

After 25 years of them not being available, and nobody saw this coming. Edit: downvotes aplenty, perhaps someone could tell me how I could play two player Double Dragon 2 legally until this device came out?

As much as I want to support Nintendo, I have to admit I've been playing NES and SNES with roms on the computer since early 2000s. My parents wouldn't buy me any game consoles or handheld devices so the computer was the only way to go. RetroPie and other hw apps would be fun to set up, but it's just so easy with emulator and roms that anyone can do it within a few mins. If you want the nostalgia, just download the em…
