Nintendo classic mini SNES

[GregK2]

Want! But are the controllers mini too? that would be awkward.

Pre-ordered direct from Nintendo the instant the email came through saying it was now available. Sold out now everywhere it seems. They could sell millions of these, why not just make enough supply?

Will look great next to my Nes classic mini, fingers crossed for a N64 mini soon!

I've got 4 on pre-order, all from different retailers.

Would be interested in one should you wish to pass up

Sorry, friends and family have already reserved them as they didn't get any orders in. Just hope all of them arrive, Game have cancelled my last few preorders from them.

No, standard size, although compared to modern controllers they do feel mini now.

you can put software on your PC and download any game for free. all you need is a controller

so you can get the same setup for probably a tenner. just incase anyone didn't know.

this one would be good for convenience though but a bit steep in price.

it's nothing new. I was downloading the roms/emulators back in the late 90s with many of us playing the likes of street fighter or DBZ etc on the library computers during playtime or lunch. some people still like to do it legit and support the industry.

The emulators just don't play the same though. Especially the console ones.

fk me. Tried to get a Classic NES, couldn't find one for love nor money unless I was prepared to pay triple the RRP.

Tried to get a Classic SNES and exactly the same crap.

Get your fingers out your arse Nintendo and make enough to go around!

Hahaha. Thanks but I've tried them all except for Amazon.de.

All unavailable. A sniff of stock and the websites fall over.

I'll just have to wait and see if Nintendo can be bothered to produce a few extra units as I'm not going to spend hours trying to track one down.

I just don't understand why they're making such limited numbers as it's bound to be popular.

Nintendo. What a bunch of fking wker idiots the way the run this st show.

[Narcisus]

Just keep an eye open ... I was watching Hotdeals today when someone posted that they were up on Nintendos site.

Ordered 6. One for me and the rest to flog off on eBay...










;-) Ok just one really ...

Took forever to load each page but got my order placed eventually. Thanks for the link.

[rustyuk]

Snap!! Lets hope it arrives now

[Sheetmaself]

How long are you waiting, ive been trying to load checkout page now for about 15 minutes!

[rustyuk]

tried about 5 times, took about an hour in total

[Sheetmaself]

Thanks will keep trying, it looked like it loaded once but ended up putting me on a screen about pre order for new xbox. Still on that screen!

Just to add to the Raspberry Pi comments questions in this thread:

I recently bought a 'fully loaded' and preconfigured RetroPi system.

It was £100 and came with everything including 2 x PS3 controllers, HDMI cable, power supply etc.

No faffing whatsoever.

Just turn it on and you are taken straight to very smart looking menus where you can select from about 15 different consoles and then around 5500 games. You can either scroll or search through the games and they all have a description and box art as you click through them.

It's got pretty much every console and handheld game system you can think of, plus thousand or so Arcade/Coin Op games.

I'm blown away by it to be honest.

I've mostly been playing Arcade, SNES, Gameboy and PS2 stuff on it.

I wouldn't bother with grainger games they'll end up refunding you assuming you do get through to the site eventually.
