The NES Classic Mini: Nintendo Entertainment System (or NES Mini to it's closest friends) was quite the treat when it launched in November 2016. We loved it in our hardware review, with 30 classic games on board rendered in pixel perfect HD, what's not to like? Well, maybe the controller cord length if we are nitpicking!
One annoyance at the time was the lack of stock, so picking one up for the RRP price of £49.99 was quite tricky if you didn't make an early pre-order. Prices on certain unnamed auction sites went crazy, so you could easily have ended up paying a lot more for one of these.
Thankfully NES Mini stock is being reissued again in the UK, you can now order one again (and a spare controller) for less insane prices. These will ship on 29th June.
You can buy the NES Mini on it's own, or in a bundle with USB power adaptor and a controller. You can also buy a spare controller separately if you wish too.

Ordered within seconds of receiving the email!
Cool, pre-ordered one right now. First time round I greatly underestimated how much the demand would be and missed out.
Ordered. Just waiting for confirmation e-mail. C’mon!!!
Nintendo of America sucks and never does this. 😢 Does Nintendo UK ship internationally?
I've actually owned every Nintendo home console since the 64, and managed to pick to the SNES Mini last year, leaving a NES shape she hole in my life. Now my collection is complete! Huzzah!
Yes, I am acting like the Virtual Boy never happened
I just got the £67.99 bundle. I can't wait to play it.
Yep... always when I'm broke as a joke. Scalpers bout to be 2-0 vs MeloMan...
Will sit nicely next to my snes mini. Did not get the bundle - will just use an iPhone plug to power it.
Ordered mine already...... and it’ll go straight Ebay again!!!
C’mon NoA... I want to preorder.
it's been for pre order on Amazon.de for a couple of days now and still available for 69€ as well as additional controllers for 12.99€
@KingSandyRavage I wouldn't bother, these are not hard to come by. I've already cancelled orders at Game and Amazon.es because I could get a better price/service with Argos. They're everywhere.
Welp waiting on the NA restocks.
I preordered as fast as my fingers would let me. I bought one off amazon for standard price just when they were available to buy. The seller then cancelled the order and relisted it at 4 times the price.
That’s great. Pre ordered a second controller for 7.99.
@gcunit just joshing chief😜
Ordered one cause I want one. Couldn’t resist selling my last one as they were going for 3 tines what I paid for it. Now here effectively dirt cheap for a brand spanner, I’ll get another one now
I'm not that interested anymore, Nintendo of America can bring preorders here. They really need to get their collective s*** together on these mini consoles.
Don't buy from scalpers. Problem solved.
Yes, finally!
@Aozz101x Sod the scalpers
@Ryu_Niiyama You can preorder it at GameStop right now.
Does anyone know if the snes mini controllers work on the nes mini.
@panthro You could even just swap the snes power cord back and forth. As you can't play both at once. 😀
@Prof_Yoshtonics yes they do. Even classic controller from Wii work.
@Prof_Yoshtonics Yes 1UP_MARIO is right.
great can finally get a second controller as i had to get a third party one last time !
Nintendo seemed to do a much better job with the SNES Classic. So being this is the 3rd time and it's specifically available through the end of the year, I have a feeling everyone who wants one will be able to get one. Not at launch per se, but within a few months.
@Maxz
If you live in Europe it didn't 😂
Also available at Amazon.co.uk, and they will ship to the US.
