Nintendo Classic Mini

Also I did indeed get one from the UK. My sister from the UK will bring it over for me on Wednesday, £50 which is fine. **** you scalpers.

There's hardly anywhere to buy new games in Newry anyway.

Really don't think any of those sellers are regulars on here or ever.

I honestly don't blame the scalpers. It's the people paying nearly 3 times the rrp to get it.
I'm raging i didn't get mine, despite preordering in July and it's a kick in the nuts I have to wait because I've the week off to enjoy it but there's no way I'm paying more than €60 for this.
I'll wait, Argos will have it 25th November and hopefully my preorder comes through.
Scalpers couldn't sell at mad prices if people just had patience. Or have there kids a valuable lesson, that you can't always get what you want.
Heck for €150, you're not far off a Famicom AV, which is way cooler than this mini.

Nintendo Classic Mini is the Sphero BB-8 of 2016

Now all we need is for M&S to stock and misprice it and we're flying

It happens all the time, unfortunately. Probably happen with the switch too.

I don't think it'll be the same thing with the Switch. The Mini NES was a sort of novelty, where the Switch being a main console it will be made sure to launch with big numbers and even short term stock shortages are usually ironed quick. There also won't be the holiday period rush that these scalpers are preying on with these ridiculous prices.

I'm sure they'd settle for DS level sales...

Just in case anyone is completely desperate to get one in Limerick... just passed by CEX in Cruises St. They have one in the window.. 100 Euro.
I'd personally prefer to wait and not to feed the craziness but if a parent is going mad looking for Santa , it's an option.

Now it's Gamestop's turn to cancel my order.

According to the unboxing:

you are right, it's just a mini usb. Can pick up a plug adaptor cheaply anywhere.

No, it can be gotten cheaper.

Only basic first steps, but opens the door to homebrew and eventually expanding the game lineup.

That would make me buy one if there was a third party USB boot device with all NES games

SoC: Allwinner R16 (4x Cortex A7, Mali400MP2 GPU)
RAM: Hynix (256MB DDR3)
Flash: Spansion 512MB NAND
