Review please James... I've been eyeing this up as a Christmas present for my husband.
Sorry can't while I do have it it's a Christmas present for my brother.

You need to be sitting right next to it- Picture of my one.

Bit of a shame as it looks and plays marvellously.
I wonder if they will make a extention wire for it.

The Wii-U Pro Controller works for it which does have a longer lead.

Most have these seem to have gone on ebay for triple the price. I guess I will have to wait until after Christmas to get one.

I've seen some selling on the local selling sites on Facebook the ones asking like £150 are acting like they are doing people a favour for selling them one.

Nintendo will make more we know that I wouldn't be shocked if more stock is out before Christmas.

I'd rather buy an old one and play the proper games on it and not be told what to play by the "elite".

You'll get one at bargain bin prices too.

If this goes well and it looks like it has I can see them doing a SNES Mini Classic for it's Anniversary.

Give it a year or two and I suspect they'll release one. The fact they have branded this as "Nintendo Classic Mini" does point to it being the first in a series.

I could see a classic Gameboy (with 30 games pre-loaded) doing good business as well.

I think they may also make NES Classic Mini 2 with different games on if they wanted to they could add all 713 official games but that would require getting the license from the 3rd party companies which would make it cost a lot more.

Yeah that would interest me more too. Super Mario Kart is a must.

Mine is safely hidden away in the wardrobe as a surprise Christmas present for my 8 year old Son. Suppose I could flip it for a quick profit, but I couldn't do it to him.

I wonder if they will make a extention wire for it.

You can get extension leads shipped from China for under £2 on eBay.

I got mine ordered in July missed out on the Mini Famicom though,but I'll get one later when Amazon get stock. The sicking thing to see is listings like this They appear to have sold 51 units at three times the retail price. People don't let the scalper's profit there will be more stock in stores later.

Many are thinking this Classic Brand is going to be a new line.

It wouldn't even take much they would only have to change the shell the insides could be just the same.

Someone has looked at one and said the memory could fit every NES-SNES and N64 game with room to spare.

If they could get 3rd party games for a reasonable price then the only games they couldn't do is the light gun/super scope games as you need a CTR TV to make them work it's impossible to do it on a moden TV.

No you won't. It's currently about 80 quid on Amazon for an original 1. Games are a good 15-20 each too for some unboxed titles. Heck I saw a boxed version of Mario bros 3 for 40 quid at cex this week!!!! It's more expensive than you think

Some games can go into the thousands depending on their rarity

At least one game has sold for $41.300 (£34.120)

Judging by how popular this has been it looks to be a license to print money.
