Alternative to EB as stated JB will be the only one who will match a lower price if it happens

Happy for MOD to Roll all into one as the purpose was to give an option after looking at traffic already so people had half a chance of picking it up before the scalpers

          They have DKC 1 though. I assume they own the complete rights to 1 but not 2 & 3?

          Or are they paying MS a fee?

          @jlogic:

          Wow I was way off. Getting mixed up between rare collection and using the Goldeneye license.

          Thanks for correcting.

    • LaTerrible on 27/06/2017 - 13:47

      The super famicom had a pretty good games list. May have to import one of those as well, perhaps even just for the box art.

  • Yuri Lowell on 27/06/2017 - 13:50

    I prefer JB as you don't have to put a deposit down. Justifies the extra $1 in my opinion. EB is only good if you prefer in store pick-up. Also JB are more reliable in shipping before release date and via Toll (arrives in 1 or 2 days). EB can sometimes divert orders to stores which ship after release day.

  • jenkemjunkie on 27/06/2017 - 13:51

    Can these units play a SNES cart or is the cart hole just aesthetics?

      No, it is significantly smaller than an old SNES and wouldn't come close to fitting in the slot anyway!

  • mattelinc on 27/06/2017 - 14:06

    Ordered via EB Games. $30 deposit. Pay the remainder on pick up.

    Cool console, though this is RRP, hardly a bargain. The NES Mini posts made sense in the respect that they were impossible to get / selling for a fortune more on ebay, though they are apparently making a fair few more of these.

          not always the answer for common sense

          FML when i picked up the last classic i looked at the power requirements, same as dozens of phone chargers i had, problem solved.

          jam the 19$ charger without the need to be any lazier than required.

        Great, send your spares out to everyone. Think my comment was responded appropriately to by Yuri. Why do people have to make disparaging comments whenever they get the opportunity to these days? Irrelevancy in real life I guess ;)

        • Toons on 27/06/2017 - 20:52

          never voted you down and my response was pretty much the same as yuri's they just happened to get there before i pushed send doing other things (in real life) in between.

          Why don't people read things was in general applied to more than your single comment and meant why not look into something and provide a factual statement before adding fuel to a fire your forgetting that it was a few other people chose to vote you down.

          and i was actually having a dig on jlogic's joke to be more precise

          you have read so much more into it than was there i'm afraid

  • tg786 on 27/06/2017 - 14:42

    This or a RetroPie with Wireless Gamepad? What would the difference be between gameplay

    • gizmomelb on 27/06/2017 - 15:20

      gameplay? no difference at all.

    • Keef on 27/06/2017 - 16:01

      Nothing I'd assume.

    • Droz on 27/06/2017 - 16:05
      +1

      The difference is the games aren't illegal on the SNES Mini - all the roms you have for the Pi are (probably, unless you dumped them yourself) illegal.

      So, it's piece of mind and some sweet controllers for the SNES Mini vs all the games ever on th RetroPi - though they'd all be illegal, and the controller won't be the same

      • dufflover on 27/06/2017 - 23:06

        Seriously, piece of mind? LOL
        Not to condone piracy but be realistic; no one is going to be kicking down your door while you're playing a downloaded ROM of Star Fox.

        • Droz on 28/06/2017 - 11:20
          +5

          A little shocked I got downvoted for promoting a legal way of playing retro games.

          Next time there's a gaming console special I'm just going to say "it's a rip off why buy games at all? Just copy them it's free save your $$$"

          And yes, you can get boned for playing ROMs - https://www.kotaku.com.au/2010/02/nintendo-wins-1-5m-aussie-…

          And I don't mean peace of mind against the cops busting down your door, I mean peace of mind for not stealing games, playing them on kind of the system they were designed for, with the controllers they were designed with.

          If you want free, unlimited games them sure, buy a controller and play them on the pi. The experience will be the same because the SNES mini is emulating anyway.

          But for the love of what's good don't downvote me for suggesting it's more ethically correct to play the games on the SNES mini.

        • Keef on 28/06/2017 - 14:41

          @Droz: They don't make the games anymore, so how are we supposed to buy them?

        • Droz on 29/06/2017 - 12:11
          +2

          @Keef: Aren't at least some of these games available for the Wii Virtual Arcade thing (actually not sure what it's called, I don't own one) ? Therefore, they're still selling them. Nintendo fully get to decide how they distribute because they own the IP, right?

          I do understand that you're saying they're hard to get, but that doesn't justify what you're suggesting.

          And let's be honest, you didn't try to give Nintendo your money for any of these games recently, did you? Do you even have a Super Nintendo? Were you in the market for these games but became frustrated that you couldn't find the cartridges for your 27 year old system? Forced to download ROMs from the Internet because you tried so hard to give Nintendo your money but couldn't?

          Actually, I just realised - the answer to "They don't make the games anymore, so how are we supposed to buy them?" is this:
          Buy the SNES Classic Mini. That's how you're supposed to buy them.

        • Keef on 29/06/2017 - 15:35

          @Droz: Can't play the games I want to play on the SNES mini.

    • Ventak on 27/06/2017 - 18:09

      Well the Star Fox 2 that comes with this is the completed game, whereas the leaked ROM isn't. Of course, someone will very likely rip the official version when this releases.

    been rockin SNES on my RPi/retropie many moons ago (along with all the other platforms that were emulated). Twas fun for a bit but got old/lack of time.

    Why are people negging this but not the EB deal?

    • Toons on 27/06/2017 - 17:56
      +2

      i think the question is why is anyone negging any of them.

      Anyone who isn't new and has a simple understanding of this site knows what happened last time.

      All 3 are "announcements" at rrp to be honest.

      Someone from one of the stores thinks they have already oversold and are talking second about the second shipment hopes already.

      We are a community that helps get deals out in some cases like these until launch nobody knows what will actually happen someone like target might come in and undercut or supply runs dry and people are left moaning about scalpers again.

      So as a community we have a choice of 3 options the value is being able to actually get what you want in this case.

    • tanksinatra on 28/06/2017 - 09:31

      I don't get it either. They are the same item for the same price. EB just offers a free instore pickup option. Both are massive retailers and seem to be getting a huge amount of preorders. Will they be getting enough stock to fulfill their orders and will they do so fairly? I don't know but I am glad that JB Hifi have ceased taking preorders.

      I chose JB Hifi because they had fewer clicks. I am suspicious that the SNES will be oversold on preorders alone.

  • neonlight on 27/06/2017 - 18:28

    Nintendo such a shame trying to pocket money from 30+ year old gamers. This is just retro gaming.

    Sad to see they haven't put much on new game inventions but want to resale old ideas and consoles.

  • xecky on 27/06/2017 - 19:04

    Does anyone know if it would be possible to somehow play 4 player with this?

    • OzBugman on 27/06/2017 - 20:48

      don't know. but secret of mana is the only game on the list that supports 3 players.

  • lostn on 27/06/2017 - 21:04

    Buy as many as you can. These will have a lot of value very soon when they stop making them.

    • garage sale on 28/06/2017 - 08:49

    • fookos on 28/06/2017 - 13:44

      Who cares about value. Buy it because you want it and hopefully want to play it, or move on and let someone else have the stock.

      • lostn on 28/06/2017 - 22:46

        If you want it, you play it. If you don't, you won't lose money in buying it. Nintendo is tone deaf when it comes to supply and demand. They will intentionally cripple supply for this thing. Just look at NES mini.

        They promised there will be more SNES classic minis, but how much more? That's pretty vague. It still won't be enough. For one, a SNES mini is more in demand than NES mini because it will have better games, and they're only making them this year.

        I wonder if they will do a N64 mini.

        • fookos on 28/06/2017 - 23:29

          I hope they do - mini N64 would be awesome!

        • lostn on 29/06/2017 - 00:30

          @fookos:

          They will charge a lot more for it. The ROMs are bigger than SNES and NES, which means more storage space needed, which means more money from you.

          I would advise you buy this SNES mini even if I don't want it. You never know if you might change your mind in the future, and then will have lost your opportunity to get one. Get it while you can.

  • DoyA on 27/06/2017 - 21:16

          I think it's nothing to do with your location as JB charges a delivery fee for each item in your order, so that AC adapter is $2.95 for the delivery fee.

      • [Deactivated] on 14/07/2017 - 17:56

        To answer your question, yes, as soon as this comes out, someone will rip the rom straight off it, and then you can play that rom on your raspberry pi using an emulator. This machine won't be able to do anything that a pi cant.
