Amazon Germany have Mini NES Controller's up for order 20 quid including postage https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B01IH5O186

Cheers. It's a good deal apart from the hefty postage but that can't be avoided. I ordered one and tried to order Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE Fortissimo Edition(ridiculously long name) as well but unfortunately they won't deliver to Ireland. It's a fair price, <€68. I'll never get this bundle.

Edit: I'm getting the Fortissimo Edition on Amazon UK. It's £55 there.

Thanks but they don't post to Ireland or parcel motel Northern Ireland - any ideas?

Thanks

They do post to Ireland. It's about €6.50 for postage. Unless they changed it since I ordered.

Did anyone else order this? It's a month now and there's still no sign of it. It was supposed to arrive on 1st june, then 8th and I've heard nothing since. I've just wrote to Amazon about it. I've had so many problems with them lately. Scammer sellers, damaged goods, not as advertised, late deliveries, waiting ages for a refund. I'm on a bad run, usually they're very reliable. Asendia are the delivery company. That's the crowd that a tonne of people hate and have problems with, right?

I ended up buying a compatible GC type controller for the Wii/U, and it works a treat.
At least it did the two times I've bothered to turn the Nes Classic Mini on since I bought it, aside from installing the hack and a selection of decent games.

That's them. They're atrocious. I'd a survey with Amazon recently as a customer from Ireland, and my main recommendation was they stop dealing with Asendia.

Yeah I got the controller a few weeks ago maybe over a month ago arrived pretty quick

To be honest it might not even turn up at this point, with Asendia it either takes weeks or just never arrives, it has been like this for the last 3 years with them, Amazon know about its issues and have admitted it to customers.

I chanced my arm and bought a wireless controller on eBay form a Chinese company
Cost about 15 euro inc delivery
I'm very happy with it

sligeach

Amazon are going to give me a refund. I'd rather have the controller though.

it's Asendia - you might yet end up with both! They are a magical carrier through which anything is possible (except getting the item you paid for in and around the time you were told to expect it to arrive)

I gave up trying to find a nes mini and bought a famicom a few weeks back. Anyone got link for a simple instruction on getting the menus in English. Hakchi2 I'm lead to believe is the way to go, yes?

Did they? That sucks! How much was it before the price went up?

So, what's the morally acceptable price to sell a Nes Mini Classic these days?
Thinking of selling mine, it's not gotten any play whatsoever, and when I do want to play classic Nintendo I have plenty of other options instead.
Of course, with my track record, I'll immediately regret it and go and buy it again....

You've just reminded me of a video I seen earlier in passing. Didn't get a chance to watch it, but the person/s in question are scum and shows why so many people never got to buy this. The headline on the screen was what grabbed my attention.

Cost price is the only morally acceptable price.

Better of holding onto it anyway, tis a tiny thing

We can work out a buyback clause if that will put your mind at ease.

You should give it away to a deserving nintendo boardsie for free! Thats the moral thing to do.
