My buddy in Japan just sent me a gift pack, and he surprised me with the Famicon version of the system. The controllers are very tiny, and can not be changed. I don't think this is a huge issue, as I was just about to start teaching my kids how to play games and these controllers are just the perfect size for them.  |

 From Newegg. Not a "marketplace seller" or an Ebay scalper. Newegg. I know it's common for tech retailers to sell above MSRP when "next-gen" GPUs are released and demand is much higher than supply - and some would say it's the exact same principle here - but there's something about a well-known retailer asking for more than $200 over MSRP for a TOY that rubs me the wrong way. PS: FREE SHIPPING! Woohoo! |

Apparently, Nintendo discontinued the mini NES.

Already sold out. I just want the controllers as the hacks make the classic mini into an SNES too.

So they claim there will be larger production of the SNES version, and I have heard rumors of a rerelease of the NES classic.

Not a rumor, it's from Nintendo themselves :

My cousin wanted to get one of these but decided against it since it had a very limited game library. He also briefly thought of getting one of Hyperkin's cheaper consoles but he lacked any game cartridges. Ultimately, he had me set up various emulators on one of his spare laptops (for his personal use) and the family PC (for the kids).

If you own a wii they also run the emulators well as well as can use the nes classic controllers.

Got lucky this morning. Was out playing Pokémon Go. I work close to a mall. As I was walking towards the pokestops inside the mall, I noticed a lady with a GameStop bag. Then I saw some dude also holding a GameStop bag but he was in a hurrry leaving the store. So I though I give it a try. The cashier greeted me saying Hello, and can I help you? I asked if they had any SNES classics. She pulled out one from the bottom of the desk and said last one. Then she asked if I was looking for one the entire morning? I said no, just noticed a couple people holding GameStop bags as I was walking the mall and though to give it a try.  |

I managed to get one today too. Everyone sold out within 30 min of opening except one place. They required you buy a snes classic with a gift card as a combo. It technically cost the same but I had t buy a gift card that I'll use to buy games for other consoles.

I got one also, I was lucky enough to get a preorder (just ordered my one unit) that didn't get cancelled.
I went on launch day to pick it up at the store but have been so busy at work I have not opened it yet. Hopefully I will open it this weekend. I am excited because I didn't get the NES mini and Super Nintendo is one of the consoles I didn't have growing up.

Didn't get one. Didn't see one. Not camping out for one either. In the words of the wise Danny Glover : I'm too old for this sh*t.
If I happen to stumble upon one in store or online I'll pick it up; otherwise I'll just pass. Hopefully, Nintendo will be true to their words and it will be easy to find one once the launch and holidays craziness is over. It would really suck if they ended up doing the same thing after all, dropped the ball after the holidays and stopped production while demand is still high to make that second run of NES Classics for summer 2018.

Apparently, the mini SNES has been hacked. If so, this is good news, especially if you want to play other games.

Yep. Same way, same software. (Hakchi2, latest version.)
