Stop paying inflated scalper prices for the Nintendo Classic Mini consoles! Wouldn't you rather pay RRP instead (lol).
Sometimes RRP is a bargain given the limited availability!

Hopefully amazon offer the NES because pre ordering from eb fails at the final stage of the checkout process, eb and jb need to start matching amazons free postage also.
If you're looking for the SNES Classic Mini, it currently $99 delivered for new user ($119 delivered for existing user) from AmazonAU
EDIT: doweyy beat me to it.
Is it limited availability? I have seen some on the shelves at my local Target and Big W.
that's the joke
Still waiting on them to put up the second nes controller for pre-order as well.
There's zero reason to own the NES version now that the SNES can dual boot both firmwares.
But the controller…
Actually NES can boot SNES too:
Considering they both have the same hardware, I guess it's down to which one you think looks better.
Yes, but the NES controller is missing buttons when done in reverse.
general aesthetic, different controller, lack of modification required… seem like three solid reasons for the target audience this kind of gear is targeted at.
If piracy/loading roms onto system is always the best answer for you, then theres zero reason do own a mini SNES either.
Yes but that money tho
I sold mine late last year cause I never used it. The nostalgia lasted for a whole hour.
Did you scalp it?
Nah, I'm not a dirtbag. Sold for $90 a few months later.
Obviously down voted by broden who is appalled
@buckster: hahaha damn filthy scalpers.
The console for Hipsters
You must be a super cool dude!
I'm rocking a Gameboy Colour with Tetris DX for my daily commute entertainment. Am I a hipster?
No, you need to be playing an original colour gameboy that you paid $500 for to be a hipster. Nobody is impressed by your flogged gameboy colour you have probably owned since you were 12, lol.
I bought it on eBay for $50.
My original one was thrown out by my mum ages ago.
nah that would make him a true collector.
A hipster would think this Mini stuff is the original and getting easily sucked in like this is part of being a hipster.
Anyone who criticises you for playing the greatest tetris ever is a fool and to be ignored.
Countless hours lost as a teenager playing that game :)
Wow. A post about a retro concosle and no “Where’s the bargain?” or “Get a raspberry pi…” comments yet.
Miracles do happen.
I've been running emulators on my phone for years, where's the bargain??
Where is the bargain though?
You find bargain yet?
Get a xiaomi box and some Bluetooth snes controllers and have it all!
Anyone after the (now discontinued) matching 8Bitdo NES30 controller - this eBay seller has it for $28.50 delivered from Adelaide.

(Retro Receiver also required for use with the NES/SNES Minis if you don't already have one).
Don't forget the 20% off coupon as well
Thanks, ordered one. Still have not gotten over lady from JB laughing at me when I asked did they have one in stock last time round.
pwned
Yeah, what is with them? Get so animated.
You can get Sega Megadrive and a few other consoles games running on this as well with a bit of tinkering.
yeah but sega tho
I can't place the order. I enter all my billing and address details, click pay $10 for the deposit and then nothing…
Same here, reminds of the first time I tried ordering a NES Classic with EB Games.
Successfully pre-ordered today, no idea what changed.
Is there a limit on how many you can order? I'm thinking about dropping $10k or so on these as a high yielding investment. - Kind regards, Broden
Thanks ordered 12
is this limited?
It is limited to how many they can sell.
buy a raspberry pi for half the cost.
Where’s the bargain 🤔
Certainly not at EB Games Australia.
Did they start production of the NES one again?
Yes they are: https://www.theverge.com/2018/5/13/17350686/nintendo-nes-cla…
I wasn't aware. Thanks for the downvote jackass.
These were so last year….
I wonder if Amazon will get this in.
What's everyone doing for a second controller?
Hoping they release more official ones.
I just realised the Classic Controller for Wii works for this. Have several of them.
See the post below
hard wire my internet fridge into controller port two and then run a controller emulator to run a 2D controller on the touch screen.
Second controllers up for preorder too

Nice, $20 is awesome.
Cheers preordered.
I have a snes mini in my house and I have to say that these things are really overpriced for what they are.
Of course it is. But with its modification potential and later resell value, it pays for itself. It's an official product.
Just a heads up, you can get the SNES Classic Mini from Amazon for $99 Delivered with AMAZON20 for new users right now.
