Today Nintendo of Europe announced The Nintendo Classic Mini: Super Nintendo Entertainment System alongside the equivalent Super NES Classic Edition in North America. Now we're all desperately waiting for pre-orders, knowing full well that demand will be very high.
If you're in the UK there's a small amount of progress on this, with the Nintendo UK Official Store opening a registration page right here.
Possibly because of traffic we're not sure it's working properly at the time of publication; your humble scribe put in his email address, clicked 'Register' and... nothing happened. We suggest keeping an eye on the page and trying it later if it's not working at the moment.
The pre-order race is going to be intense, that's for sure.

How much will it be though? I registered my interest but they usually cancel orders from Ireland.
Its also up on amazon uk, search for The Nintendo Classic Mini: Super Nintendo Entertainment System and it is a few choices down.
It's on Amazon uk 79.99
It's on Nintendo uk 79.99
It's on game uk 79.99
It's on smyths uk 69.99
It's on eBay 179.99
@UK-Nintendo I don't think that price is fair. $80 is not £80. Not even close. It works out at £63.
The price has only been put up on GAME from what I can see. It might indeed stay that way. But it is more likely that GAME has jumped the gun and thrown their pre order page up as quickly as possible and this is just a place holder price. As in....its not gonna be more then £80, so we will put it up as that and then reduce it when we see what everyone else is doing. I don't see it anywhere on Amazon and Nintendo just seems to let you register.
@A01 That's taking the Wii-Wii.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE well given how well the UK government is doing may I suggest that £80 = $80 by September may be optimistic.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE £63 + 20% VAT = £75. A £5 difference isn't that huge.
Everyone needs to stop forgetting about sales tax.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE I know but that's how Nintendo operates.
I'm gonna try and get one and keep the controller and re sell. I can 100% say the emulation will be better
If I register thirty million e mails, will they make enough supply?
@JamesR It's funny because it's true - Homer Simpson.
i stand corrected it is now up on amazon

Smyths for £69.99 delivered, cash taken on dispatch.
Edit: already sold out. But keep an eye for restocked as it's £10 cheaper than elsewhere.
The register page doesn't confirm if you've registered.
It's cool and all, but I'd rather get virtual console on the Switch. Will hold out for that instead of spending $80 for more hardware.
I had hopes for Terranigma ... would have loved to see that game on the list. Rest of the games are pretty cool. If i get a chance to buy one i will do so i think.
I have established it's best to double down on pre-orders if you can. Just got bitten by Royal Mail delivering my Zelda amiibo to the wrong address. I even spoke to the postman and then he proceeded to deliver them somewhere else. Guessing I'll be hitting up the scalpers now.
@Kiz3000 Meh, call the extra £5 a 60Hz tax. Least we won't have that issue this time....
@Enigk Have Nintendo stopped confirmation for all "register your interest" pages now?
@UK-Nintendo Where? It's not showing for me.
@cj80 It seems they have. Trying to register for Samus Returns for special edition but not sure if it has logged. I'll find out when I get loads of emails craahing my phone and making me miss out.
@cj80 https://m.store.nintendo.co.uk/nintendo-classic-mini/nintendo-classic-mini-super-nintendo-entertainment-system.list?affil=tradedoubler&utm_source=Tradedoubler-Nintendo+Life&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=TradeDoubler&tduid=f5553697fa9c8f9404346e65b2fe0a54&dclid=CM-S8diU3NQCFbMB0woduGYN1w
@Enigk Same here, zero confirmation.
Does 'Register your Interest' send you emails about the item? Because I registered for Yoshi for Nintendo Switch earlier. Might register for this now
@SLIGEACH_EIRE been the same with video games since the 8 bit days (or sometimes worse)
@SLIGEACH_EIRE people (including me) have told you like a million times now that US prices don't include tax while EU prices do. but it seems you're just willfully ignorant to that because it kind of destroys your point.
@Sinister "Terranigma"
That's one the games I wanted instead of Kirby's Dream Course and the 2 Star Fox games. Along with Chrono Trigger and another one of the DKC games perhaps.
Have I already missed a pre order on Amazon uk or is just email alerts for now ?
And so the farce begins... Already countless pre-orders on eBay for 200 plus. Absolute scum bags.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE +20% VAT and Customs. So US one is more expensive.
These are available to pre-order now from Game in the UK.
@BionicDodo
Tried, won't complete checkout. Always at work when Nintendo announce stuff.
Managed to pre-order from Smyths toys this morning if anybody is interested. Went from £69.99 to £79.99 while checking out !
Still couldn't register interest on Nintendo UK this morning though.
Anything about the NA version? This is the UK version which is why I wanna know if there is such a thing in the American website.
