Eurogamer: SNES Mini currently in development

I really should have bought the NES Mini when I saw like 6 or 7 of them sitting randomly on the shelve in March. Now they are probably all gone. :(
 
I know this would never happen, but would be so funny if not a single person bought one in retaliation on how they handled the whole NES mini fiasco.

I mean what are they thinking, there is massive demand for the NES Mini, no one can keep stock of them for more than an hour and they decided to stop production of the until, golf clap to Nintendo!
 
One interesting though I had...if they do decide to charge more then $60 for it maybe they could include the first party games from the NES Mini on the system as well to add valve. They could also make it compatible with the NES mini controllers if you didn't want to use the SNES pad to play NES games.

I expect the opposite, actually. Those who missed out at NES mini are probably the ones drilling the F5 button on retailer sites seconds after the official announcement.
 
Ewwww no. Milk the nostalgia on your current platforms. Wtf
 
NES Mini was not the least bit interesting to me, this however is going to be preordered as soon as it's possible by me.
 
Day zero. With that said, they have the NES mini experience under their belt now in terms of estimating demand, and the Switch is out so there goes the 'building momentum/hype' argument for those who adhere to that. Let's see what happens when the system is again miscalculated and under-shipped. Scalpers are already grabbing their lotion and jerking it at the possibilities.

Sorry, I'll be less cynical after I've had my third coffee. Put me down for three Nintendo, don't fuck this up.
 
Imagine an SNES mini

Is it a real product available to purchase, or was it in a dream? As the truth grows nearer, each answer begets more questions. Then one day

Weird - why is this a factor? Every emulator I know runs these games.

EDIT:



But why?

It's been long speculated that there's a licensing problem with the SFX chip itself, as Nintendo doesn't actually own that technology, nor does it seem very clear as to who would needed to be tracked down in order to license it out since Argonaut's dissolution. This would be why we've only ever seen the GBA version of Yoshi's Island on VC, and why we haven't seen any of the other SFX games since they never got ports.
 
Chrono Trigger, FFIV, FFVI, Illusion of Gaia, Mega Man X, Mega Man 7
will not be on there
.

Edit: I wonder if this is why Switch doesn't have a Virtually Console. First you buy DLC physically with Amiibo, next you buy ROM's physically with microconsoles.
 
The demand is going to be even bigger than for NES, you can count on that

I'm not sure about that. There is a certain fetishism that surrounds the NES and its prototypical games that the Super Nintendo simply doesn't have.

I think its catalog is undeniably more popular, but I also think it's less suited for the kind of mania inspired by "the original Nintendo."

But we shall see either way.
 
It's almost like the NES Classic Edition was a worldwide success despite most people not being able to get their hands on one. Why does this surprise you?

Where is the NES Classic now? Where will the SNES Classic be a year after its release? Are they just creating these things as limited edition collector's items or something?

I'm not surprised. I'm disappointed. It's a waste.
 
If there is only one S-E game they can get on it, I can't see it being anything else. But there is a chance S-E doesn't want any included.

Really? I could see it being Final Fantasy II (4). I'm relatively confident that someone at SE made a demonic pact that requires them to put FFII on every platform possible.
 
I wasn´t interested in the Nes mini, but this is just what I wanted. I already know what I´ll be asking for Christmas this year :)
