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.
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
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.
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.

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.
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.
Usually because you run into legacy issues with cables/adapters and the like.
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!
I got one for me 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.
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.
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.
