Saw this awesome product on Nintendo's twitter this morning. Huge nostalgia kick. EB Games are first to begin pre-orders in Australia. Grab em before they're gone. Please note it docent include a power brick, but any old phone charger should be fine.

*EDIT: JB-HI-FI are also doing pre-orders: https://www.jbhifi.com.au/games-consoles/games/Gaming-Consol…
Comes out November 10

I know this is RRP, but this will be a hot product

Product Description:
The Nintendo Classic Mini: Nintendo Entertainment System comes packaged with an HDMI cable, a USB cable for powering the system*, and one Nintendo Classic Mini: NES Controller. And whether it’s rediscovering an old favourite or experiencing the joy of NES for the first time, the fantastic collection of NES classics included with each and every system should have something for all players. The included titles are:

Balloon Fight
BUBBLE BOBBLE
Castlevania™
Castlevania II: Simon’s Quest™
Donkey Kong
Donkey Kong Jr.
DOUBLE DRAGON II: THE REVENGE
Dr. Mario
Excitebike
FINAL FANTASY®
Galaga™
GHOSTS‘N GOBLINS™
GRADIUS™
Ice Climber
Kid Icarus
Kirby’s Adventure
Mario Bros.
MEGA MAN™ 2
Metroid
NINJA GAIDEN®
PAC-MAN™
Punch-Out!! Featuring Mr. Dream
StarTropics
SUPER C™
Super Mario Bros.
Super Mario Bros. 2
Super Mario Bros. 3
Tecmo Bowl™
The Legend of Zelda
Zelda II: The Adventure of Link
Each title is sure to bring back fond memories and produce plenty of new ones. Players can even enjoy playing many of these games together by attaching a second Nintendo Classic Mini: NES Controller, sold separately. A Classic Controller or Classic Controller Pro for the Wii console can also be used.

The Nintendo Classic Mini: NES Controller can also be used to play Virtual Console NES games on a Wii U or Wii console. Simply connect it to a Wii Remote controller to make the experience that much more authentic. Players needn’t worry about losing any hard-earned progress either as each game has multiple suspend points, allowing them to start where they left off at a later time, no passwords needed.

Bring back memories and make brand new ones with the Nintendo Classic Mini: Nintendo Entertainment System, launching on November 10. Relive past glories, defeat the boss that you could never beat, or simply enjoy the classic titles of yesteryear anew.

    Pretty sure this is RRP, JB Hi-Fi are advertising the same:

  • [Deactivated] on 15/07/2016 - 17:10

    JB-Hifi are taking pre-orders as well.

    My local store had 7 pre-orders in the first hour and it wasn't even advertised.

  • videoman on 15/07/2016 - 17:14

    Amazing that people are buying these things. Almost every good nes game had a sequel or a re-release on the snes that was better than the original.

    Are we going to start posting pre-order details of the next Appsung iGalaxy for being the next best smartphone ever being sold at RRP as deals as well?

    Any Android set-top box is going to be able to run a NES/SNES emulator, as well as Netflix, Presto etc. Get a decent controller - an 8bitdo if you insist on non-ergonomic controllers, or a Xiaomi if you want something more modern, and game away.

    I don't know why you'd buy a single-use device in this day and age.

      Which set-top box would you recommend? How about the interface?

    • garage sale on 15/07/2016 - 22:35

      so you don't have to play around with emulators and downloading ROMS …… instant gratification ……just grab your favourite drink, some pies or pizzas and game away ……

  • Bokoshi on 15/07/2016 - 17:25

    Cheers OP,
    Preordered from JB Hifi, damned if I will support the thieves at EB Games..
    Got one mainly for the collectable status but the GF loves her old NES games.

    engadget, "Nintendo won't offer additional games for the Classic Mini" what a shame… I would get one if it did.

    • DeToxin on 15/07/2016 - 22:32

    If it's $40 I would pay for it. But not for $99

  • Trishool on 15/07/2016 - 18:01

    I'll buy one of these but not for full rrp. Once I can get it for $80 or less I'll pounce.

  • jamestownfx on 15/07/2016 - 18:26

    59.99 USD RRP 99.95 AUD RRP… 59.99USD equates to about 78AUD at the moment. Sigh.

    • Nousernamehere on 15/07/2016 - 18:37

      Plus 10% GST don't forget. We win some, and we lose a lot over here unfortunately.

      • buthidae on 16/07/2016 - 00:45

        $59.99 USD also excludes sales tax, which varies over there state by state.

        • Rick Sanchez on 16/07/2016 - 02:33

          Gst = sales tax, but yeah, not so different once exchange rate and GST are taken into account

    "*Note that an AC adapter for the USB cable is required to play the system but is not included in the packaging.'

    This bullsh*t again! Come on Nintendo. These adapters surely don't cost more than a few $$ to spit out in bulk!

    • IceCreamBandit on 15/07/2016 - 19:04
      +1

      A lot of TVs now come with USB ports that can power devices. Failing that the adapter can be used from phones/tablets.

      It could be their way of being 'green' and not over manufacturing what they think is a common household item, or they are just really cheap :P

      • scrimshaw on 15/07/2016 - 23:16

        I think the latter. Trying to squeeze as much profit as they can out of these fringe devices.

    Can't find any details.

    • ruddiger7 on 15/07/2016 - 21:22

      usually its a 10 dollar deposit for items under 100, then the rest when it ships/you pick it up.

  • ruddiger7 on 15/07/2016 - 21:21

    Why couldn't they make the controller have a usb extension? I would buy one or two just for use with my PC. The wii has enough controllers to connect to..

    It would be no difference if a pre-order game was listed at full price.

    It's full price. Plus shipping.

    I'll wait for a price drop, if there is one. My NES is in a box a couple of metres away from me, and it would've been plugged in if I could find the cabinet I wanted at IKEA today.
