Man, fuck Gamestop.
I wouls suggest all to wait a little longer and save some money. Check Target on Saturday and Sunday mornings and you're likely to find one.
I just can't stand the bundling of items I don't want AND charge high shipping fees.

Finally, I got the bundle with the controller. If the controller sucks, I will just return in store. I don't want take any chances with nintendo.
Is it easy to return part of the bundle for refund? If not, that is ok, I am ok paying extra 20 bucks and not take extra risk

That Miniboss wireless controller included in that bundle seems to be junk in reviews, unfortunately.
I've been eyeing Famicom Minis on Amazon for a while, price currently floating at around $96 with Prime shipping...

you can always return.
according to amazon reviews, the issue with disconnection is more when the battery goes low, so if you keep it charged, it seems to help the issue.

Good, I'm not buying a bullshit bundle either.

Finally got to play this on my new computer monitor. It sat right on my computer desk so the cords weren't a problem for me. It feels right to play retro games with the real controller again. Even having an NES case instead of a Wii, Wii U, or 3DS console playing it feels right.
I'm not a pro at these games but I had fun. The interface is simple and nice to look at. If only there were an official way to add games to it, it would be NES heaven.
Having experienced the difference between VC and this, I am way more open to Nintendo's plug-and-play devices. Bring on the SNES Classic!

With shipping the cheapest bundle still comes to almost $100. Still more than I'm willing to pay.

Would love to cop another controller for NES, SMS, and TG16 VC games.

The lack of controllers becoming available is really starting to grind my gears.
When should we expect these things to actually be on the shelves and readily available to the general public? I'm under the impression, that Nintendo doesn't really care about meeting customer demand or they are worried that this thing will cannibalize some of the switch market. I hope we don't have to wait till after the switch is released to start seeing these things available.

who knows, Reggie said they would restock, but who knows for how long and how much restock we will see

Buy another NES Classic and sell it without the controller. That's what I did, and I sold it for cost price. Too many folks messaged me for it even without the controller. I redirected the guy on which third party controller to buy, and he was quite happy.

just called my local gamestop in Michigan, they were out of stock yesterday, called them just now, and they said they only got 6 this morning and sold out right away.
Is that the freaking restock Reggie was talking about? LOL

2+ months later, the thirst is still real
different market focus, i know, but i wonder if this is a preview of switch
Nope not at the prices, they are asking for the switch.
The only indication this is showing is how cool the nes classic is.

Got one. Gamestop Stores got them in or will get them in this week as well. Mine sold out shortly after I got mine, people are just going out and asking likely best to not call and just head out to your local one if you have time.
My reasons, you can argue them, but:
If there was an enclosure exactly like this with the same quality for a Raspberry Pi or another similar embedded device that is fast and powerful enough I would consider that.
- It's sexy as all hell
- The emulator is arguably more accurate unless someone can prove otherwise
- The controllers (although you can get a May Flash adapter on Amazon)
- Coming from Nintendo does help and the price
- It's hackable, this is my favorite feature and without I could pass this up

Do they only sell bundles in the stores too?

No, they only combine them as bundles online to raise the price for the sake of profit and to make sure scalpers don't try and buy them all out.

I don't advocate piracy either.
$60 is a lot of money for 30 very old games on a device that you cannot add more games to and will have to buy new units when they release when you want more games.

Those "very old games" will normally run you $5 a pop on services like the Virtual Console.
So do I =(
Finally got a Famicom Mini. Sold my NES Mini shortly after launch and waited for it to be available again. Love the design so much more than NES Mini. Took long enough for Amazon Japan to get stock again 
Just 3€ more than a NES Mini here, including shipping and taxes from Japan

Why do games have to age? Why do the prices have to change? Does the fun factor change? Do the 1's and 0's change? I don't get this argument at all. School me.
