    Thanks!!! I was literally trying to find discount codes for JB and Target because I wanted to pick one up today!

    • Villainous on 30/03/2020 - 18:03

      All good dude! Happy retro gaming!

    Thanks OP and Congrats on your first post. Picked one up. Pretty good price.

    • Villainous on 30/03/2020 - 18:22

      Price is comparative to the SNES Classic Mini which i picked up for $79 @ the Kmart clearance so i think it's also a good price. It was received better than the Playstation mini so may be the lowest it will go.

      Good to hear you picked one up!

            @Villainous: Streets of rage (1) is one of my fave beat em up games of all time. One of my fav swag games of all time. I also liked light crusader gun star heroes and an old school rpg called jewel master. My dad was a super fan of desert and jungle strike. It brings back many great family memories.

              @maverickjohn: It must have been the Christmas of '91 when I got my NES with the Mario/Duckhunt combo. I walked in to my older brothers room and he got a Mega Drive with Streets of Rage. It's burnt into my memory.

              Along with Turtles in Time, SOR2 and Alien Vs Predator are some of my fav all time beat em ups. Your dad's got great taste in games!

  • cyrax83 on 30/03/2020 - 18:18

    Just keep in mind this is a mini-version and comes pre-installed with 40 games. You can only play the installed games. There is no option to play other games.

          @BlackCurrent Title says "mini" and product is sold as a "mini" console so not sure what you are trying to point out here?

          Also you are wrong about only playing the pre installed games and that there is no option to play other games.

          Project Lunar allows this as well as RetroArch and EmulationStation to emulate other consoles

      I understand the sentiment here, but I wonder how many kids when these first came out had 40 carts.
      The rich kids had, like a dozen.

      • maverickjohn on 30/03/2020 - 21:02

        I wasn’t rich but had heaps of games on this . It was our family time from my very young days. We used to get cousins visiting to play on our mega drive. Also had the mega CD with final fight and sonic CD. Was epic.

  • supatight on 30/03/2020 - 18:35

    nice price but the Aasia/Japan release versions are better they come with genuine 6 button controllers and they are usb worh the extra money in my opinion

  • Jackson on 30/03/2020 - 18:37

    Can anyone comment on how the controllers are? I picked up the PS classic and while I really don't have a big issue with all the stuff people complained about online, like PAL support and blah blah, my main issue is that at least one of my controllers when I press down if I hit down at a slight angle it will go sideways. Makes it very frustrating to plan Super Puzzle Fighter 2, end up putting blocks at the edge of the playing area by accident and ruins the entire game. On a side note, who is warranting the PSOne Classic in Australia?

  • ShortyX on 30/03/2020 - 19:44

    Has anyone found longevity in retro gaming? We have a Raspberry Pi with Recalbox and it was good for a short while, but ended up going back to the current gen for (arguably) a better gaming experience with modern titles.

    • jimbler on 30/03/2020 - 19:57

      Got a 4 player arcade machine with a zillion games on it. I would rather play TMNT Turtles in Time, The Simpsons, Double Dragon, R-Type, Bad Dudes/Dragon Ninja, Wonderboy, Shinobi etc… than any modern game.

    • FabMan on 30/03/2020 - 20:06

      You'd ve right that most games haven't aged well, but there are definite classics that are still fun to play, its not just nostalgia as my son really enjoys playing some of them with me. It really depends.

      On the Mega-Drive I'd argue that Streets of Rage 2 still hasn't been beaten as the best Beat 'em up ever made. I'd also state that Sonic hasn't aged as well as Supet Mario Bros.

      • [Deactivated] on 30/03/2020 - 23:08

        They're still making 2D Sonic games people love, with the same sprites and everything. Not me mind you, I don't get the appeal. But Sonic Mania got really reviews etc. Meanwhile Super Mario U was a bit of a flop by Nintendo standards

        • FabMan on 31/03/2020 - 05:32

          Yeah, Sonic Mania was a bit of fun but when 4 of us are on Super Mario Bros U we were having a real good time.

          Maybe its me then, I find watching Sonic move at fast speeds and not taking in the map a bit dull while the increasing challenges and level design of Mario is more interesting. I grew up with Sega and prefer many Sega games over Nintendo, just not Sonic.

      $39 is better like the PS Classic.

      • Villainous on 30/03/2020 - 20:44
        +3

        PS Classic was received very poorly and price dropped accordingly.

        Sega did a very good job with this and has been received as well as the NES/SNES which dropped to it's lowest of $59/$79 respectively (NES @ $59 due to need to buy second controller).

        I would say this is as low as it's going to get but hey, you never know.

        • KOBH on 30/03/2020 - 21:00

          You never know. We might see this on AP day or BFS.

      • Bretttick on 30/03/2020 - 21:32
