Deft Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Bit late now, but an official SNES classic is coming in September. I was keeping an eye on this but somehow am a day late to the party so everywhere seems sold out. 😥There should be another wave of stock in time for Christmas hopefully. Anyone sees one in stock let me know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeClockwork Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 You're only a day late? Amazon had sold out in the seconds between me receiving an alert and going to the site to buy it! I expect the Christmas stock will be more than £80 a piece. I'll let you know if I see any... after I've bought one, of course 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deft Posted June 30, 2017 Author Share Posted June 30, 2017 Seems like I need to employ a full time internet ninja. I quite enjoyed playing the NES classic, more than I thought I would - though inevitably it is now gathering dust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeClockwork Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 In this case you'd need to employ a ninja to sit there refreshing the page! UPDATE: there are a few SNES Classic Minis up on eBay. Pre-orders that will be shipped end of Sept. Hmm... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djdiggla Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 I wasn't terribly impressed by the game selection on the NES mini but this one!? WOW. Great game selection. I'm tempted but since I have a SNES I'll probably just buy the games I don't have on that list.   In the UK, US and Australia, the games pre-installed on the SNES Mini will be as follows:Contra III: The Alien Wars™Donkey Kong Country™EarthBound™Final Fantasy IIIF-ZERO™Kirby™ Super StarKirby’s Dream Course™The Legend of Zelda™: A Link to the Past™Mega Man® XSecret of ManaStar Fox™Star Fox™ 2Street Fighter® II Turbo: Hyper FightingSuper Castlevania IV™Super Ghouls ’n Ghosts®Super Mario Kart™Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars™Super Mario World™Super Metroid™Super Punch-Out!!™Yoshi’s Island™ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 The games do look great on it. Almost tried to get one then thought I'd just use emulators, spent yesterday evening trying to get the steam link to work which was torturous, and have bought a raspberry pi 3 just now. I quite like the idea of getting various pads for old games, I'll make do with the PS4 pads for now otherwise I'll end up spending a ton on pads only for the magic to wear off... To be honest this is a real bargain considering there are two official pads in the box, a decent snes USB pad is £20.

djdiggla Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Yeah and Earthbound is probably $100 alone. Secret of Mana is about $60. And you can't even buy Star Fox 2. Â EDIT: you can buy a lot of these games on Virtual Console for WiiU but still thats $7-$10 a pop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeClockwork Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 What about if you soft mod an ordinary Wii? Can you still get Star Fox 2 and all the other bits? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 There's an unfinished version as a rom, but I bet it won't be long before the version on the snes classic is ripped... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djdiggla Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 What about if you soft mod an ordinary Wii? Can you still get Star Fox 2 and all the other bits? If you haven't done it already that's a very easy mod that runs well. Recommended.

joeClockwork Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Sounds good. The only thing standing in the way is my wife who owns the Wii and, after witnessing me brick my laptop with a botched BIOS update, won't let me anywhere near her Wii unless it's to play Mario Galaxy 2! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadAbbott Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Don't get very excited about games anymore but desperately searching for one of these since seeing the games list! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

U will run all the wii games and you can transfer the saves. Or just buy another wii for $30. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadAbbott Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 managed to get hold of one in game today - worth popping in to your local store (UK) You have to pay £50 deposit and only one per address. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadAbbott Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 according to the stock informer website someone was saying Argos called him up as they couldn't fulfil his first order and to say they had one for him, and that they'd be having a new batch soon so it's worth watching out for that. I'm tempted to order from somewhere else too as apparently game often advertise more than they have apparently, or at least they did with the NES classic.

Deft Posted September 25, 2017 Author Share Posted September 25, 2017 This is released on Friday and there seems to be a new wave of stock, I managed to order one from the Nintendo UK store. They've also said they are planning plenty more by Christmas so don't be tempted to pay silly Ebay prices. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
