Gone from not interested to pre-order hype.

First time Nintendo are emulating the Super FX.

Any actual source to confirm it other than Eurogamer?

It's available to preorder from the big retailers (I've gone with Amazon AND Smyths, just in case!)

Yup, but not if they feck your order up & you're like a headless chicken looking for one of them after Christmas

That said, there was a tweet saying they're producing "significantly more" of these than the NES Mini's.

The Last Bandit · 26-06-2017 07:46PM

Preordered one as well, less games but presumably it'll be hacked shortly after release

Retr0gamer · 26-06-2017 07:50PM

I'm just getting it for starfox 2. It getting released at all is massive news.

Inviere · 26-06-2017 08:02PM

The game lineup is stellar I have to say. Sony & MS haven't a patch on Ninty quality wise

johnny_ultimate · 26-06-2017 08:10PM

The NES Mini only existed so the SNES Mini could exist. Far more enticing prospect.

I believe Nintendo have an unhealthy belief in forced exclusivity.

"Hey, y'know that NES Mini that sold like gold dust & the insane demand meant every article on the internet had the word 'Nintendo' in it? Yeah, we've decided to focus on Switch development, we can't get the bits to build it anymore either."

Two Months Later:

"Rejoice everyone, we've realised that we can in fact devote some time to making something other than the Switch. However, rather than burn the scalpers by making some more NES Mini's, we're going to make the Snes mini instead! Now we get to extract everybody of their money all over again...but watch out, they're only for 2017..."

If they weren't so brilliant, I'd hate Nintendo!

I'm going to do kickstarter for a 'CD-i Mini' , gonna jump on this retro bandwagon and be a millionaire in weeks...

I'm doing similar...the Raspberry Pi 3 Mini....powered by a Pi Zero

J_E · 26-06-2017 09:37PM

I wonder will there be anything added into Starfox 2 or will it be the demonstration release that is already being passed around?

I think it will be a later version, some late previews of the game at the time said it was quite a bit further on from the build that eventually got put online.

Retr0gamer · 26-06-2017 10:26PM

The game was complete and shelved according to the developer. It's been sitting in the nintendo vault alongside the English release of Mother on the NES.

Bracken3000 · 26-06-2017 10:39PM

Snes mini ordered and looking forward to playing my first ever Zelda game, see what all the fuss is about.

J_E · 26-06-2017 11:07PM

How amazing it is that they thought of putting SF2 on it, will drive sales through the roof. Hopefully a nice ROM rip too for comparison and tinkering in files :cool:

ironictoaster · 26-06-2017 11:46PM

Hopefully Smyths can get enough stock for this!

I think I saw a dog do a CDi mini in the grass the other day.
I saw a larger dog do a full size one shortly afterwards.

Pretty ordered my snes mini. Managed to input the wrong email address. Thanks autocorrect for correcting Gmail to gamil. Hopefully smiths can sort it out. I screen shot the order screen with code at least

Bracken3000 · 27-06-2017 04:03PM

Will you be able to more games through Nintendo or is that just people hacking it if thats possible?

CiDeRmAn · 27-06-2017 05:16PM

Here's the Japanese Super Famicom Mini, games are slightly different.

Time will tell.
I'm guessing it won't take long to be confirmed or otherwise.
I think it has more scope to be awesome if it is, loading that thing with everything from Jap only releases to the rare stuff.

No Pilotwings though, which is odd.

John Romero selling his original Doom II floppy disks. Not far to post as well :P
