        Original, don't think EB Games, a major company, will stock copies, replica or third party controllers for the NES Classic.

        second that, love me some old school games. People that complain about other game consoles do my head in, seriously play on whatever platform you like without bashing others, you don't want to play a Nintendo console bc its too kiddy or whatever reason then good for you. Now to look up modding this thing with the games i want, won't have to bring out the original anymore.

        That's definitely not a "real" NES.

        • Hsinking on 03/02/2017 - 15:19

          to me this is real, back in 1990s this is the only type of nes in my hometown and it cost my parents 40 aud back then to buy one.

          Strictly speaking this 99.95 nes is not a "real" nes either.

        • [Deactivated] on 03/02/2017 - 15:22

          No, but it's official Nintendo. The one you have linked is a famiclone. Famicom controllers didn't have four buttons.

          @Hsinking:

          Yeah it might be real to you, but your comment is misleading since it's not a real/original NES (no disrespect to you).

          The Mini NES might be a remake/emulator, but it does a great job and the games look crisp and clear on modern HDTVs. Also, the included controller is basically a new original NES controller (although the cable length is crap).

      • Merlict on 03/02/2017 - 15:03
        +1

        Nothing wrong with NES clones, they've been around for decades

        But it'll look like shit on a HDTV.

      • dufflover on 03/02/2017 - 15:09

        At least it tries to clone the original for nostalgia. I'd rather the proper look over being able to say it's genuine Nintendo. Cos neither are any more genuine than the other if you're after NES nostalgia.

        • Hsinking on 03/02/2017 - 15:23

          when this 99.95 nes was out of stock globly I wanted one desperately like others as well, when it is back to stock again I begin to feel the games inside is not what I truly expect. Just found a clone comes with 564 games for 40 aud, will order one of them instead.

      • Sage on 03/02/2017 - 15:52

        Good point above. The NES Classic is designed for HD tvs. It has HDMI out and a very sharp picture, along with a clean high res interface.

  • DEvok on 03/02/2017 - 14:46

    Least we know that there are more Nintendo fans than Sony and Microsoft ;)

  • 980tibaby on 03/02/2017 - 15:05

    Is it finally widely available? I pity all the people paying upwards of $300 last few months… glad I waited for the inevitable restock.

    But IMO its probably better to save your 99$ towards the new Switch console next month which you could probably buy these old games on the E-Shop anyways…

    • fookos on 03/02/2017 - 15:34
      +2

      That was my thinking. I almost purchased one earlier from Target purely due to FOMO, but then stopped myself and walked away from the computer. I have way too many current and previous gen games to ever have time for this too.

      I love old school, but I decided to keep the $99 in my pocket and put it towards a Nintendo Switch or the new Zelda Breath of the Wild.

      • kasp on 03/02/2017 - 18:57

        Or sell it on ebay and use the cash to buy a switch :P

    At this point in time, retail is a bargain and seeing as though stock pops up for less than a day at a time. The last EB Batch was available for less than two hours, and there was no advertising that stock was even available.

    Been watching this market daily since they were made available for pre-order. Cheapest these go for on Gumtree is $180. Facebook groups you are looking at $200+. Ebay… Don't even bother. People are stockpiling and demand is far outweighing supply.

    If this isn't your thing, then fair enough, but "RRP is not a bargain" only applies when there is ample stock for everyone, which in the case of the Mini NES at this moment, there isn't.

    • 4agte on 03/02/2017 - 15:51

      retail is a bargain and seeing as though stock pops up for less than a day at a time

      Really? This is the 3rd day in a row stock has popped up. Big W, Target and EB. To me the last 3 days show stock availability is increasing.

      We shouldn't be comparing to private sales. We should be comparing with retail.

      • Sage on 03/02/2017 - 15:56

        What are you talking about? Three days in a row.
        The last deal (Big W) was 3 days ago and it was limited to certain locations.
        The only other deal was the Catch Of The Day which was limited to 180 units at a certain time.

        • 4agte on 03/02/2017 - 16:03
          +1

          Yes 3. Let me break it down again

          Big W
          Target - funny you forget this one as we are posting in the very deal
          EB Games restock

          3 in 3 days

        • kasp on 03/02/2017 - 18:58

          @4agte:

          All out of stock. COTD had stock for about 15 seconds.

      • [Deactivated] on 03/02/2017 - 16:02

        And at the point these "deals" are listed, there is not retail stock available anywhere else. If there was and the stock was plentiful, I would agree with you. I don't see the harm in comparing to private sales when there are no retail sales.

        From the perspective of a consumer wanting to purchase the item, I'd be appreciative of people alerting me about a price lower than was available elsewhere, regardless of the channel.

        • 4agte on 03/02/2017 - 16:06

          3 deals in 3 days. No stock anywhere doesn't fly anymore.

        • [Deactivated] on 03/02/2017 - 16:13
          +4

          Bargains are measured on current availability, not prior availability.

          At the time this deal went up, there was no Big W stock available, and the EB restock wasn't published. There is still no Big W stock availability, Target has sold out, and it's unclear how much more stock EB has. The EB sale hasn't been promoted either. It's also not clear how many more restocks are coming, if at all.

          Everybody else seems to be able to grasp this concept but nobody else is being condescending in their disagreement.

          Edit: EB has now also sold out. There is currently no stock availability at any major retailers.

  • Sage on 03/02/2017 - 15:43

    None in store either.

  • BargainKen on 03/02/2017 - 15:57

    I think people have gone FOMO or following the hype and are buying these. There can't be that many old school players.. I setup my RPI with RetroPie and I've spent maybe an hour at most reliving the good old days..

    • dufflover on 03/02/2017 - 21:32

      Broden's probably buying most of them. I mean as people like to keep saying they seem to actually be selling for a decent amount on eBay.
      I wouldn't be surprised if half of the demand is the same speculation demand like with houses. Go flip those NES's! :P

    Checked ebGames a couple hours ago and the estimated postage date was 5 days. Just checked again and the esimated delivery date is 15 February (12 days).

    Are they taking "pre-orders" before stock is available to deliver?

    • etto on 03/02/2017 - 16:47

      Sounds likely. Either that or they just keep everyone's money for a few weeks and then cancel the order due to stock running out.

  • la1970 on 03/02/2017 - 16:49

    I just wanted to say thanks for the post Axelstrife without your post I WOULD STILL BE WAITING . I wanted this game when I was a kid but could not afford. I missed the release November and all the others in between and I was not paying twice or more for it. So to those who are complaining that it is not a bargain, to many of us it is because we don`t want to pay double on ebay.

  • Munki on 03/02/2017 - 16:49
