SNES Mini Classic

Yep, Argos charge at point of order for preorders just as an FYI.

I had a Megadrive as a kid and the kids down the road had a SNES, so while I've got some fond memories of playing super mario kart at their house I never actually owned one myself.

Similar to me, a couple of friends had a SNES and we had some great times playing Street Fighter 2 and Mario Kart.

Can't wait to play on this.
 
Game have just offered me one of their instore collections.

Can't decide if I should go for it just to be sure I get one - have one ordered with Smyths though. Don't want to profit out of it but don't want to miss out either.

Edit: Argos are so dodgy, £69.99 was £79.99 save £10 - no price establishment period to claim that save amount!
 
Gave in and went to Game and paid the £50 deposit to preorder from them too. Rather accidentally end up with 2 than miss out :)

If you're not looking to scalp there will be plenty of folks on here who will take an extra one off your hands for a reasonable amount.
 
Not seen anything from Tesco yet, they don't even have a page on the site yet so if you've missed out they might be a good one to keep an eye on.

To be honest I genuinely believe they'll release enough for the demand. I'm just covering myself incase I'm wrong and there are problems with allocations etc as there's no way I'm paying hundreds for one but absolutely want one :)

If I end up with 2 and there's a shortage I'll happily help someone out, if there's plenty about I'll just return one of them.
 
So what games on this are people most looking forward to re-playing or playing properly for the first time?

For me it's:
- Replay -
Secret of Mana - think I only completed it once as a kid but keep meaning to go through it again.
Starfox - brilliant game, had a lot of fun trying to 100% each stage on the different paths.
Super Ghouls n Ghosts - to actually get far in this for once and beat it (easier said than done).

- First time - (not including Starfox 2 as that's a given)
EarthBound - never really played this properly but I'm curious as so many seem to rate it.
Super Metroid - only dabbled with this briefly on emulators in the past so a good play-through is in order.
Super Punch Out / Mega Man X - never recall playing either so should be fun.

Not sure if trolling or the first time you've bought a Nintendo console :)

Sure it might be in stock for pre-order when their books have just opened for a few hours but you wait until November/December in the run up to Xmas. They've already said it won't be manufactured after 2017!

If your want one I'd get busy with that pre-order from toys r us!

  • Super Metroid - never played before, looking forward to that for the first time.
  • EarthBound - just to see what all the fuss is about.
  • Super Ghouls n Ghosts - going to try and get past level 2 for the first time, found this game so hard back in th

The latter I hope :p although I had a NES back in the day and had my N64 since launch :D

Didn't think about the Xmas rush to be fair that's a very good point.

Still tempted to go for a £115 Mini NES at CeX but really resent the idea of doing so
