SNES Mini Announcement
-
Nintendo has made it official, they are releasing a real SNES Mini with 21 games included.
-
I hope it's actually available to buy, unlike the NES Classic, because I really want this*
*only if I pay retail. Scalpers suck.
-
@obsidianspider Well, it can be yours for $79.99 plus the sacrifice of a small puppy
It also comes with Starfox 2, which never had an official release. Nintendo finally remembers that Earthbound exists, as well as F-Zero
Not sure if i'm getting this, I'm saving up for a Switch, plus I have multiple Raspberry Pi's.

@lilbud how about this dog instead?
-
@lilbud id still like to buy a NES Classic, just to have, but I'm not paying the crazy prices I'm seeing it for on auction sites.
-
@obsidianspider Yes, that's the only answer.
I was going to get an NES Mini, but they sold out everywhere and the only place that has it is Ebay, but I've never been that big a fan of the NES, SNES was more my favorite. This classic version has all good games. But...where the hell are the controller ports?
-
I was coming here just to post that! I am so excited! I think nintendo last year made an artificially high market by making so few NES classics.
-
Interesting thoughts surrounding this so far. I think the lineup is wonderful. Other people irritated that there is no Chrono Trigger or Final Fantasy II on this list.

They probably couldn't get the licencing for those 2 from Square
-
I don't know them. I actually am getting an N64 off of family this summer... but I wonder, the N64 classic may not come out for a while because look at the decrease in games!
N64 emulation is the next step :)
-
@CodeDrawer I think, if they make an N64 mini, it would be 2018 and probably the last one. Because who in the hell would buy a Gamecube mini?
Me and maybe 3 other people
-
I hope for the first teardown. I think the plattform of the NES and SNES mini are the same. Afaik the NES mini was a quadcore CPU ARMv7 Allwinner with 256MB of RAM ;)
-
@CodeDrawer I really don't think Nintendo will make an N64-mini, at least not for a while (like 4-5 years). I mean, look at all of the problems N64 emulation has even on beefy PC's. I know Nintendo could make an emulator far better than any community on the internet (since Nintendo would have the full source code for the console and it's first party games), but it still seems unlikely to me.
On a related note, couldn't some "dedicated fans" be able to extract the roms and emulator from an N64-mini and make it a self-sufficient system on PC? Or is that impossible?
-
@cafarellidigital The roms, probably. The emulator, no.
The SNES Mini will be hacked in a months time.
-
SNES MINI? COUNT ME IN!
I am a big SNES fan. Most of my games on my Pi are SNES Games. Mostly SMW Hacks.
-
@itsnitro Good luck getting one of the 15 Nintendo decides to make.

@cafarellidigital That's what I'm thinking. That emulator would be ripped apart. N64 mini would be a huge score for the emulation community.
-
@hooperre Well, if the emulator is indeed ripped, it would have to be ported to PC and support all of the plugins and games needed.
-
I heard they might make more than 20.
