Paddywhack Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 I’m happy it’s got two controllers. My friends used to have to play using this abysmal thing when I was a kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really want one but they are sold out everywhere. How much do they cost normally? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think my wife paid about £140 on amazon. Far too expensive to be honest, I just had to get one....(beg her for one)... A few places have got stock recently, amazon are due some more on 26th October here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ingram85 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 (edited) I have very nearly went for a snes mini twice now but resisted. It's a lovely thing indeed but I ended up getting a second hand 2ds XL a few days ago instead for £70 so I can have all the main snes games plus downloadable GB, GBC, NES games on virtual console plus the DS & 3DS library. Only game I'm missing out on is FFVI which I have on GBA along with Minish Cap, THPS2, Advance Wars & Golden Sun so think I may be sorted for retro ninty for a long time .

chrisp65 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Genuinely, I have previously heard and seen 'snes' but never knew what it was or what it stood for, until I saw that picture. So now I know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amsterdam_Neil_D Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 (edited) I don't usually like holidays that much but Australia is something else. Took this from a small plane a couple of days ago by Shark Island. 800 ft up. (Surprise trip). I felt a bit Indiana Jones tbh My daughter (Where I am staying in Perth) just pasted her driving test and got a OK for her pregnancy tests. All OK. What's not to like ?

I can’t help but think that these retro consoles will have aged terribly. After the initial hit of nostalgia I’m worried I’d be massively disappointed with the game play. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A game with truly good gameplay is almost timeless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post colhint Posted October 27, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted October 27, 2017 I was knackered yesterday. So I went to bed to read at about 9:30. Two pages in I'm spark out. Woke up and looked at the time, 3:50. Went for a pee then back to sleep. Woke up 4:45. I'm not wide awake but not tired. So I get up go downstairs for a cup of tea. While I'm waiting for it to boil, I notice the bin is full. So took it outside to the big bin. Then I looked up. Man oh man it was fantastic. Not a cloud, thousands of stars on view, really clear. I have a passing interest in Astronomy so could recognise plenty. All the constellations were right before my eyes. In real fantastic conditions. I could clearly see beetlejuice, it's nearly always blurry. I could make out all seven sisters (I know there's more) Even some of the hard to make out signs like Cancer shone. I have spent best part of an hour at the bottom of my garden, just looking up. It was wonderful. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
