Has anyone else pre-ordered one?
I managed to get one from Nintendo in the half-hour window they had them in stock yesterday afternoon. So excited! I really hope they honour it. I'm not sure what game I'll play first - probably F-Zero for some quick thrills followed by Zelda.
very nice, how much are they, and do they include
yoshi island, super mario world, sf2 turbo, mariokart
could be tempted if so
Tried and failed.
Hopefully they actually make enough to meet demand this time.
Mini NES are still changing hands on ebay for upwards of £200
do they include
yoshi island, super mario world, sf2 turbo, mariokart
YES!

Yeah, hopefully the pre-order thing is just everyone getting carried away and there'll be loads in stock come September 29th. But Nintendo have apparently said they only plan to manufacture it until the end of the year.
yoshi island, super mario world, sf2 turbo, mariokart
Yep, yep, yep and yep!
Yes, missed the first round of pre-orders on Game and Amazon but snagged one on the Nintendo website yesterday.
I look forward to resuming the battles of years gone by on Mario Kart with my brother. The only other game I'd have liked to have seen included is Pilotwings as I loved that game.
Unirally would have been amazing too, and NBA Jam.
Mario World, Mario Kart and Street Fighter 2 Turbo! Just those 3 are worth £70/80 to me! I really hope I can get hold of one of these, I'll be disappointed if they limit production like the mini NES.

Just to remind you, this is Nintendo we're talking about.
Oh, and don't forgot to order your AC adapters.
*Please note: an AC adapter for the USB cable is required to play the system but is not included in the packaging.

I would probably buy it just for Mario Kart. Does seem odd that a company would bother to make it but then not make enough of them.

They do it every. single. time.
I used to think it was to increase exclusivity, but now I just think they are terrible at logistics.
Yep, I use a gaming forum, of the guys spotted it on Amazon first, quite a few forumites got the first wave of pre-orders.
Fairly happy as my last few zelda breath of the wild amiibo arrived today 🙂
I bag a pre order on the nintendo site.
Well excited, more so as the SNES was my first console and loved starwing / Mario kart et al.
Super mario world is, imo, the greatest mario game!
Shame to miss out on pilotwings, NBA jam TE and I'll add sunset riders to the list.
Great news that it comes with 2 controllers and longer controller cables (5ft vs the 3ft one on the NES mini)
Secret of Mana, I'd get one just for that.
Preorders sold out everywhere again. Getting a bit cross with Nintendo's complete inability to meet demand, on everything they make. Even now both versions of the Switch are sold out on Amazon...
I'd have had a NES Mini too if they'd not been so hard to source., instead I'm just using a Raspberry Pi full of games, not sure how anyone benefits from this.
why not just buy the original thing on ebay?
what about a raspberry pi running RetroPie

Had the SNES and Mega Drive out of the attic last week. I have lost the RF cables 🙁

Usually because you run into legacy issues with cables/adapters and the like.
Is there any sites still thing pre-orders for the mini-snes? , it'd be ideal for my bro's xmas present.
shouldn't be a problem with any console that uses RCA cables, cost would be prohibitive for originals of all those games though! Plus there is the ballache factor!Usually because you run into legacy issues with cables/adapters and the like.
Maybe I'm missing this, but it doesn't come with any games that I can see- they all need to be bought separately. No?
No 🙂

I got one for [s]me[/s] my retro game loving boys... I have a lot of the games still and an original console, as well as Virtual Console versions, but even so - still loving the idea of playing it.
what about a raspberry pi running RetroPie
https://retropie.org.uk/
I've got one and it's ok, doesn't quite have the plug and play aspect that the SNES mini will have, no config issues, memory card corruption to worry about and most importantly no SNES shaped box next to the TV.
• Final Fantasy III
Aw ****, now i want one. 🙁
Secret of Mana!
Probably my favourite ever game.
Brilliant collection, needs Super Aleste and 4 player Bomberman though.
🙂
Nice one! Ordered. 😀
Result. Thanks for the Argos tip
Nice one. Ordered, lets hope I actually get it
Nice one. Ordered, lets hope I actually get it twice
grabbed one from argos as well - thanks for the heads up as I'd resigned myself to trying to find one on ebay.
Going to struggle to keep it boxed until xmas . . .
Ordered from Argos too. Guessing the money has come out of my account already only to get it returned on 29th September when they have no stock.
I may have just lent Argos £70 for 3 months...
Cheers for the Argos tip. I had pre-ordered from Smyths Toys but for pick up.
I guess I have two now 🙂
I ordered 2. The NES Classic is worth a load now, boxed as new. Nintendo have said they're making more of these, but 3 months on and they still haven't got any Switch stock at Amazon/Argos etc. I'm sceptical they'll manage it.
Thought about ordering one, then decided I have enough tat in the attic!
Why doesn't everyone just get a Raspberry Pi?
Because I want a tiny, polished, Nintendo box. I also have a Pi, which requires a lot more faffing, configuring controllers in stacks of emulators, trying to set up shutdown scripts so you don't kill the sdcard. Even buying 2 decent Buffalo SNES pads would be £40, the Pi would be £31, the case another fiver, another fiver for a 16gb SD card.
It's probably the same reason people buy a £250 dropper post, when they'd get more adjustability, less weight, less cost, just by stopping and adjusting the QR 😛
Popped into my local Game this morning, they had 2 left to pre-order in store. I had money on a game gift card from xmas so now they have one 😀
According to them, each store has an allocation that is seperate to the website and even though the website has sold out some shops still have some pre-orders left.
Missed out on the NES classic so really want this one.
I was looking at this and thinking that I already can play those games on an emulator (I already have two USB SNES-style gamepads) then I looked at the list f included gamest...
StarFox 2 is included.
Oooo
If stocks disappear like the nes did an alternative to the raspberry pi route is to put homebrew on a nintendo wii. You can download the games or buy a sd card with 6000+ nintendo games for £15 off ebay. Handheld controllers that plug in to the wii remote are cheap and great as you are not restricted to a short cable.
Argos now out of stock allocation. Asking for a friend, any other stockists with stock?
Argos cancelled my order
Try offline - I managed to get one at a Game store.
I've also read online that there's going to be more available than with the NES mini so more should be coming available as they drip feed them.
Just get megadrive classics on PS2 then play them on your early PS3 like I do. Sonic and streets of rage 2 FTW.
I was a Sega player but liked the look of the mini SNES then did a speculative Sega search and found this, I will get one this week. I still have all of my old cartridges and this comes with 80 games as well!

Tesco taking pre-orders, in stock as we speak.
Go, go, go!
You all know you can download an emulator and the ROMs (including loads of rare stuff!) legally now, right? And that SF Alpha 2 beats the pants off Turbo? Right?

I've been trying to tell them that as well 🙂
Here you go, 3000-odd ROMS 😀 Fill yer boots!

Looks like the SF games aren't in that list though 😕 They were a few months ago.
back in stock online at Game, £79.99 though
EDIT: all gone now. didn't take long 😯
The SNES/NES Minis are still emulators anyway*. Just nicely setup ones.
My 2 orders were cancelled. Bit cross with Argos if I'm honest, I ordered as soon as the preorders appeared, at like 7am. It seems pretty random who kept them.
Still hunting for another.
* http://nintendoeverything.com/a-look-at-the-hardware-behind-the-nes-classic-edition/ - NES Mini there if you're curious, similar internals to a cheap Android device.
I looked into the MegaDrive version but the controllers were infra-red and needed to be line-of-sight to work. I had a Raspberry Pi delivered yesterday and set it up last night (which was very easy) and had a quick blast on Micro Machines before I got kicked off of the TV.
I was able to use a PS3 controller (USB but you can set them up to work over Bluetooth).
I will download a couple of SNES Roms next and give them a go.
The software (RetroPie) looks very well written.
Ooh... You can run MAME on that RetroPie thinger, is that right?
The only emulated telly plugin I bought was the Sensible Soccer NES many moons ago. Sadly no one will play me any more 🙁
Tell us more about the Raspberry PI rig Eskay.

Yes

Awesome, just got a text from Argos saying mine'll be delivered on the 29th, which is great cos a) I'd forgotten all about it and b) I never got a confirmation email in the first place so was unsure whether it had gone through or not!
To be honest I'd rather have an old one with an SD2SNES or just emulate it (and MAME, NES, Megadrive etc.) with a Wii. The SNES Classic is just emulation after all. Yes you wouldn't get an HDMI socket but the original SNES and Wii put out RGB which is just as good for a 240 signal.
Got my text from Argos today too. Going to get a few beers and beer snacks in this Friday night and break out the SNES!
Got my text too along with my draft eBay listing. Doesn't look like I will be making much from it though as a lot of listings for £100 so not my route to being a millionaire.
nah, if I had any interest in doing it that way I'd be doing it already! SNES Classic is cheap, easy... just turn up round someone's house, bang it in the HDMI & you're playing Super Mario Kart with proper controllers! It's not like I'm going to be sitting at home playing it on my own that much. Plus, if I get bored of it, just sell it on eBay for a profit. Literally no downside 🙂To be honest I'd rather have an old one with an SD2SNES or just emulate it (and MAME, NES, Megadrive etc.) with a Wii.
Anyhoo, it's just turned up!!!

Damn, completely forgot about this, Can't find one anywhere for less than £130 (bloody shysters on eBay) which is annoying as it would be the perfect gift for my bro's xmas, does anyone know of a shop that has stock?
no chance sadly, pre-orders sold out within a few days back in July!
Argos have it listed on their site, some stores have stock so you might be lucky.
Catalogue number 736/6077
Prime now had them this morning
I was watching here:
[url= https://m.stockinformer.co.uk/checker-super-nintendo-entertainment-system-snes ]Stock Finder [/url]
After missing out on a preorder - managed to fine one in a local Argos. Wasn’t listed online or via the Argos app as in stock tho - so quickly drove there!
All set up - it’s like being back in ‘93!
A
Had one turn up in the post this morning. Apparently my wife ordered one months ago but he's not letting me have it!!!! Apparently she ordered it for the kids for Christmas! Boo!!!!
Should be one waiting for me when I get home...
Otherwise, I'm picking up a pre-order from the arse end of nowhere (Brent Cross) later.
