This Old Neon Forum

Too bad for the people that bought the super inflated scalper priced ones when Nintendo announced they were discontinuing it.

Personally I rather miss out than give those shameless scalpers a single cent of my money.

Anyway I'm glad they put the NES Mini back into production & hopefully when EB games announces preorders & get in there on day one & reserve my system.

Are these coming back? I thought they were going to be restocked in 2018? Will the restocked version be the same as the original, or will there be any modifications to improve anything?

They're supposed to be coming back in summer. No word on whether anything will be different, either in terms of hardware (controllers, cord length) or software (different bundled games). It would be interesting if they put Mother on there to fulfill the same kind of purpose of Star Fox 2 on the SNES version.

That's what I was thinking. I was hoping for something like that.

Just as I would think they would include a game like Sin and Punishment on the N64 mini if they ever make that. I've already imported that cart from Japan and it was released on the Wii VC, but there are many people that have not been able to play it with a 64 controller.

I want to say it should come back with more games, but I don't know if that's a dick move to those who already have one? My guess is it will be the same game selection as before but with the SNES classic controller length.

I think it’s just simply another run for those that missed out other times...

Just ordered an imported Famicom mini from Japan. I know that the NES classic will come back, but the price was decent and it will end up being a birthday gift for me from a relative. Because this one doesn’t come with an AC adaptor, I anticipate just putting it by my SNES classic and sharing the power and HDMI hookups.

That's awesome Kreegs!

Wont be able to play it until Aprill 11. Bummer that Punch Out isnt on it. Apparently the controllers are super tiny and the cords are really short and hardwired in. Sounds amazing at the same time.

Nintendo is re-launching the NES Classic Mini in June, and they claim it should be in stock through the end of the year.

My thoughts on hearing this: good luck finding one, still. I have never seen a SNES Classic in any store, and that's the one they're supposed to be stocking aggressively.
