Wait for bargain
If it's like last time, they'll be sold out before they even hit the shelf.
It's not though. Nintendo has said there will be plenty more stock, and also they are bringing the NES back too.
Additional stock won't be arriving until next year though
@Putnum: According to the Nintendo AU/NZ Twitter account. "We can confirm that we'll continue to ship stock of #SNESmini within AU/NZ in 2018."
I believe that's just them saying they'll keep shipping it until at least some time in 2018, not that they will start shipping them again in 2018.
Good luck getting it.
When they released the Mini NES last year, there was already a line of 30+ people at my local Big W and they only had <5 console in stock. Apparently staff had first priority.
Don't forget there was probably only 10 to start with knowing good old Nintendo.
Apparently nintendo are going to be making more of the nintendo mini classic next year.
My JB hifi preorder looks like it's still good. I'm glad I didn't miss out, this thing will hopefully be my go-to SNES emulation device. Raspberry pi can kiss my butt, it takes the magic out of it when you build it yourself.
Same here, I preordered from EB Games to pick up in-store. Hopefully it still good.
Compared to the Mini NES, I dont know how people are even having trouble getting the mini SNES at all. I have gotten 3 of them so far (for friends) being half as alert as I was with the former (which I really tried hard to get but to no avail). 2 from EB and one from JB.. now this pops up and I'm sure more places will sell them closer to and after launch. Nintendo said there would be more stock this time around.
for "friends" wink
Hopefully for friends, because once the hype wears off no one will buy these at inflated prices anytime soon and any eBay listings will be open for months until a very serious collector comes along. And those serious collectors would have likely been in some sort of coma because any serious collector would ensure they got one at launch.
There’s a lot more supply of the SNES Classic, people who really want it will get it at launch. Screw the scalpers.
upvote for bargain visibility. Why don't you submit your own post though mate? Front page material for sure!!
The picture of the 'Nintendo Switch AC Adapter' is showing the UK Adapter…
Am I missing something? Shows $469 for the Switch which is the normal price, isn't it?
The $119 for the Super Nintendo Classic Mini is also the normal price.. That's the point he's making.
pretty sure rrp is $119.95 :)
I was on the fence reading this, then saw your comment… 5 cents, Well played, you convinced me.
@aussman: Eep, typo, not maths fail i swear! I was too busy correcting my wording the first time to notice I had missed the 9. :'(
It's stupid. This is a highly sought-after item that people are happy to pay RRP for, and will likely sell for more than that on the aftermarket. There are plenty of people who'll benefit from seeing these deals on the site, so keep em coming.
Yeah but you're missing the point. OzBargain isn't about whether people benefit or not from the posts - it's about whether I benefit from the posts. OzBargain is about me, and only me, so the rest of you can piss off. Why should I have to scroll down an extra 100 pixels simply because a bunch of people want to see these posts?
The RRP of the SNES Mini is "Gimmee, gimmee, gimmee". This deal is "Gimmee, gimmee, gimme, NOW! TAKE MY MONEY!!!". Therefore it is an amazing offer.
Grow up will you?! I see your comment on every single SNES classic post butchering it being RRP. Stop being so bitter, people still find bargains even if items are being sold at RRP. Like many others have mentioned, why dont you post something of your own and allow others to enjoy a bargain?!
Every. Single. Time!
Only person I hide comments for on Ozbargain.
Sad really because I appreciate a lot of your comments, just not most.I suggest you read this, before you insist (again), that RRP is any measure of whether a deal is worthy of being posted here.
I feel like you're being honest with me!
truth
If you can find it cheaper than this, please go ahead and post us a link
Not a bargain
What!!!! It's $200 on eBay.
Just to clarify, there is no rule that something must be discounted as such. This deal isn't breaching the usual rules, nor has any exception been made. A deal can be good value and not be discounted, while a deal can be bad value and discounted; we don't want to say that bad value deal is okay but the good value deal isn't or encourage 'fake discounts' for the sake of complying with a guideline so it can be posted here. We let the community decide what is a good deal or not through the voting system.
At least the scalpers aren't modifying classic items and simply ripping off stupid people.
What is your problem with freedom, man?
The freedom to get ripped off? or… I don't understand?
What level of stupid are you?
"Classic Items" hahaha
Offenders for what? Commenting?
BINGO!
Whats the prize again?so meta. whats not to love.
Not much chance of getting one.
My Ozbargain Nintendo Wii U premium was only $40 more then this..
that was a great day
that was second hand though wasnt it?
I think he means the dick smith clearences
and kmart, i got my mario kart wii u premium for like $170 i think
Right, but this thing is way cooler than the WiiU if you grew up on the SNES. Though a modded WiiU is a damn thing thing in itself.
Available for pre order, or first-in best-dressed?
For Big W, first-in best-dressed only.
For Target, certain ones (about 5 in each state/territory) have them for pre-order, as well as first-in best-dressed.
EB Games and JB Hi-Fi also have pre-orders, but all sold out.
Very helpful. Thank you.
Just get the emulator for your cell phone free.
Yeah sure, play games with a touchscreen. That'll go GREAT.
Mod: Removed inflammatory statement
touchscreen remember
pretty sure you are the neckbeard if you need everything to be official hardware
Anyone know if you can pre-order @ BigW? I have a gift card to use which expires on the 28th of this month! Would love to spend it on this!
How about you purchase something with your gift card on the 27th, keep the purchase (unopened) and return it for an exchange or for a ‘change of mind’ the next day? (Could be shirt not your size, etc?)
I believe you will be given credit points to use in store for the value of returned item/s.
That way you can potentially use those credit points to purchase the mini snes I guess, no?
haha… that's true ozbargain style! thanks for the tips!
I guess Big W won't put these in a Xmas catalogue, might upset the politically correct rent a crowd.
What even are you blathering about?
Yeah, I'm TOTALLY gonna pay for a subscription to that garbage shitrag to read whatever rank rightwing beatup they've invented this week. That's ABSOLUTELY a thing I'm gonna do.
@thescarecrow84:
Hmm but what do you really think of the Australian - can't tell.
BTW that link wasn't on subscription when I made it
@thescarecrow84: I hate em as much as any other, but Google the link and click on the result to avoid paywall.
Link for the lazy: https://www.google.com.au/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=we…
@thescarecrow84: that's right, because nowadays it's considered 'extreme right wing' to say the word Christmas
Nintendo have said they're producing a lot more of these - I guess time will tell.
If you're going to Target, check to see if the store is a doing a ticketing system. My local one had 32 Nes Minis and did a ticket system that no one knew about unless you showed up at 6am. Queue a lot of baffled (and annoyed) people when they opened the door at 8am and only about 20 people got them (one family showed up en masse and took a ticket each, getting ten in total).
They had a family of ten show up? Did the grannies get in on this, too?
Yes! The person with ticket number 1 was a woman of probably 60-65 years of age, who was getting one for her son. He showed up at 8am and looked to be mid-30s.
The family - might not have all been brothers/sister/mom/dad but at least some of the family were brother/sister etc. I imagine cousins as well. I personally didn't see them but someone pointed it out as more and more people showed up disappointed.
I know Nintendo can and will charge whatever they want at this point, but 120 is too much. Buy one of the controllers for 20 odd or less, pick up a preowned Wii for 30 odd anywhere, and you've got the ability to play all these, and more, and a bevy of other consoles, and Wii and Game Cube games, and it costs less, and you're even using the official proper SNES mini controller as they use the same connector to Wii remotes as last round.
Cool idea, I love it, but it should have been 50 odd in my opinion. But again, I know they can and will charge whatever they want, and where there's money to be made, they'd be stupid not to make it. It's just not for me.
Good luck to any one going after one of these though, I might hit up Eastland for lunch on the day and see how many are in stock there, JB, Target, EB, and Big W all have them, let's see if I could even buy one if I wanted.
you've got the ability to play all these, and more
Have you looked at the eShop on SNES titles? It's not pretty. $120 over 21 games is about $6 each, IMO totally reasonable considering the classic nature of these games, and the SNES Mini is now also the best way to play them.
Piracy is beautiful.
Piracy is piracy. I thought you were suggesting a legit alternative to buying a SNES Mini. Otherwise, just skip the Wii step altogether, and hop down to the flea market and buy one of those '500 in 1!' junk boxes.
@Strand0410: Oh nah, the eShop prices are so high they make the SNES Mini seem like good value just for the games. The SNES Mini is awesome, don't get me wrong, I just mean to say if you're after just the games, and a quality machine and controller to play them on, there's other options.
Those 500 in 1 thins are trash. The 10,000* in 1 that I had when I was 8 however…
*really only a hundred or two, still (profanity) cool at the time though.
You might. Good luck with that. Won't get you far. 120 is a good price for something that is in demand. Fools or predators will think otherwise. Good luck. Try hitting up Westland.
What is stupid is that it crazy popular, it's free money for them and they cease production and make people spend and buy of ebay, they could flood the market and make heaps with this, sure it might take away some sales from the switch but they are different products and people will most likely buy them all
These are 21 top tier SNES games. And they aren't just pirated roms, they are legal licenses to play the game (which matters to some people). Some of these games Nintendo don't sell anywhere else, not even on the virtual console, if you want to legally buy a new copy of some of these games then the only way is to buy a SNES mini. A lot of us grew up with SNES and have a lot of feelings towards it.
There are 10k units available on the day at the EB games Expo on the Gold Coast. Limit 1 per customer.
neh…im waiting for the wii u mini classic and nintendo switch mini classic
Not funny. At ALL. Go buy both. They are cheap.
When compared to the classic consoles, they aren't cheap. AT ALL.
When compared to buying virtual SNES games individually it's actually decent value for the games alone.
wish they had a PS 1, 2, 3 and 4 mini classic as well lol
PSP and Xperia Play are there for the PS1 Mini fix.
I want that CashRewards 5% off at Big W. Hoping they are adequately stocked
I still have my original snes…I sometimes get it out and realise how crap it is these days and put it away again.
Hey can't be crap if people are paying $120 for the privilege :-P
zsnes ffs
Lol what year is it
