Hendo Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 That's pretty cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retroed Posted July 14, 2016 Author Share Posted July 14, 2016 Available to pre-order at The Game Collection for £49.95. I can see these becoming hard to get hold of at launch/leading up to Christmas. http://www.thegamecollection.net/nintendo-classic-mini-nes.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANGERMAN Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 I know these things are never great, but there's some absolute shit in that game list. Even a lot of the ones people think are good are actually awful now it will sell very well though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HandsomeDead Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 Gotta agree. A lot of those games are interesting curios but not much more. A SNES take on it would be loads more interesting. Depends on the price, really. I mostly see it as an elaborate stocking filler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimboxy Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 It is one step up from those mega drive ones that have been about for a few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fifty quid, as listed above. Same price at GAME, although Amazon currently have it for £59.99. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craymen Edge Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 It looks cute, but as already mentioned the game selection is a little limited. If it could play cartridges that would have been great. I imagine retro fans will be working on a way to mod it to play games off an SD card within days of it coming out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illdog Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 I want one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manicm Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 Will pass on this, but if there's a snes one, I would definitely get that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DisturbedSwan Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 If it was a SNES I'd be tempted too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manicm Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 I have my rose tinted glasses on that era of gaming, games on the snes/mega drive/ pc at the time where just amazing, well for me anyway it was and will always be the golden age of gaming for me, I still buy retro stuff on the wii u and other consoles from this era. A snes would be awesome and even the japan famicom maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retroed Posted July 21, 2016 Author Share Posted July 21, 2016 Pre-order from the Nintendo UK store and get a free 8-bit Mario plushie. Moved my order to them and also pre-ordered a second controller. It's being put back for my Christmas present, though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manicm Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Probably wrong place, but looks like sega are doing a Nintendo: http://www.smythstoys.com/uk/en-gb/video-games-tablets/nintendo-wii-u/c-744/wiii-u-consoles/p-19534/sega-mega-drive-classic-game-console-with-80-games/ This I'm more tempted 2 wireless controllers as well!

DANGERMAN Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 tbf Sega have done a few of these now. Also the Megadrive 6 button controllers were Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HandsomeDead Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 It looks like a much better deal as well. Really weird Sonic 3 isn't on it yet Sonic & Knuckles is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retroed Posted July 26, 2016 Author Share Posted July 26, 2016 Emulation on those isn't great either from what I've heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manicm Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 I had read on a gadget website that this one was by sega and it plays carts as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANGERMAN Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 AND I'll say this if we're all having a little moan. My sister bought me one for christmas the other year, a handheld one. I don't know if it was the emulation or the controls but for some reason every game was bastard hard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
