Ingram85 Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 The question I asked myself before deleting it from my basket was "do I want to pay £80 to play a stingy amount of 21 games that are nearly as old as me, probably haven't held up that well and of those 21 I'd only play about 5 and I can get them 'cheaper' from 'elsewhere'. No I dont". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacketspuds Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Some lovely opportunistic dicks are already selling their pre-orders on Ebay for £180. Should be banned. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't have cared less about the NES last year, but have been totally caught up in the hype this time around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jim Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Managed to get a couple of orders in, NUK and Amazon when they re opened orders for all of 10 minutes. I imagine more will become available in the coming months. Same thing happened with Switch. OOS initially but come launch it was pretty easy to get hold of one, just Nintendo doing their usual creating demand by whipping everyone up into a frenzy trick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope it backfires on them spectacularly Edited June 27, 2017 by Demitri_C 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nintendo will have learned from the NES Mini, but as with all Nintendo products the SNES Mini will likely be off shelves long enough to cause people to panic buy on eBay. It's unfortunately something that has plagued almost every Nintendo console release since the Wii. I don't know who Nintendo go with for manufacturing, or if the scarcity is deliberate, but something needs to change at Nintendo or this will keep happening.

You are absolutely right, their marketing and manufacturing policy is so poor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogso Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Here's the Japanese exclusive games; Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem The Legend of the Mystical Ninja -Ganbare Goemon: Yukihime Kyushutsu Emaki- Tetris Attack -Panel de Pon- Super Soccer -Super Formation Soccer- Super Street Fighter II: The New Challengers Maybe not the footie game Dem wanted, but there is one on that version at least, and Fire Emblem is a nice inclusion too. The 'Western' exclusives are Earthbound, Kirby's Dream Course, Super Castlevania IV, Super Punch-Out!! and Super Street Fighter II Turbo: Hyper Fighting. Ours are much better, and taking in to account the fact we get the PAL version of the console, not the NTSC one (which is an abomination and surely a strong contender for worst looking console ever), we probably get the best console overall.

The US Snes/Famicom is a horrible looking thing but the games ran far better than the PAL versions. Smooth 60hz fullscreen games rather than the bordered/letterboxed 50hz crap you got over here. If you get the US roms on the PAL console it will be fine. Don't forget that if you are buying one, like many nintendo products now they do not actually come with a plug/power supply so you may wish to buy one although you can power it via a usb (or just use a phone usb charger) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Just went to two game shops round local area, they are not even taking names on lists as the demand has been THAT high. Crazy. Nintendo really don't know how to make huge profits do they ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yes, I remember the pain of trying and failing to get NTSC games running on my original chipped PS1 There's no doubt it'll be the proper versions running on this.
