Shocking that one person on EBay has 9 of them how the hell did he manage to pre order that many. I'm also not happy with Amazon U.K allowing U.S orders to go through when they state U.K only yet they will cancel them just before launch 🚀. Why not just not let the order go through in the first place so people actually from the U.K can order. America have their own Amazon to order their lovely 😊 purple snes mini from.
Personally think the should have included 25 games including Chrono Trigger then they could have released the N64 classic with 20 games where as now the N64 mini will probably only have 15 games for $99.99.
Just pre-ordered mine on Games website although I think £79.99 is a little expensive as the Nes mini was only £49.99 yes you get an extra controller but the Nes Mini had 9 more games. I also hope they don't make the same stupidly short controllers again.

Just can't see this working on a handheld unless Nintendo releases a true successor to the Wii U they won't get 3rd party support unfortunately but looks like Nintendo has pulled out the home console market altogether sadly.
These are the best in the series Day and night System added items 16 gyms colour graphics and huge 2MB cartridge to hold all the vast content. Although today it might be better to get the remakes on DS for around £50.
No console can survive without EA support it's an unwritten rule. But as the Switch is a handheld that rule usually doesn't apply so it should be fine where as if it was a home console it would be a long hard struggle.
Just wish Nintendo would kill the 3DS faster confess that the Switch is the 3DS successor as the Switch is a handheld that can connect to the TV not a home console and not the Wii U's successor. They just don't want to own up to the fact they have dropped out the home console market.
The DS was an amazing system had tonnes of great games. 3DS is ok but now it's been succeed by the Switch. We now just waiting on the Wii Us successor.
Might as well sell my switch if Nintendo are becoming 3rd party first they abandon the home console market and just focus on portable gaming then they start releasing games on the platform their competing against.
Hope this isn't true as there is no need to release a game on a rival platform with the switch selling well this reminds me of when Sega released games on the Nes sad times 😢
@WiiUPS4Gamer I think you will find it is a handheld all the hardware is in the portable device by your definition the PSP is a home console as that connects to a TV.
People moaning about the specs and comparing it to Xbox One need to realise this is a handheld console so it is very powerful. Nintendo are just putting a lot of their home console games on it. Nintendo has pulled out of the home console business unless they release a successor to the wii u who knows as this is the 3DS successor.
Makes you wonder if this is Nintendo adjusting to turning 3rd party in the near future once the switch bombs as why would you release a game on a rival gaming platform.
@ACrste81 I agree 1 2 Switch should have probably been a pack in game as it shows off the joy cons there also selling Skyrim at £59.99 which is ridiculous as it is a straight port of a game from 2011 so it should be priced as a budget title around £19.99-£24.99.
@ACrate81 more like Atari's Jaguar don't think it will be as good as the Dreamcast unfortunately. It would have been a decent handheld if it wasn't over priced but £279.99 + £59.99 for a game is ridiculous it's certainly not a home console or hybrid as the dock is just there for ease of use for connecting to tv and gaining power to increase cpu/gpu speed which could have been achieved by using a tv cable and ac adapter. Also the 3rd party support is severely lacking I think the only people that will buy this are hardcore Nintendo fans.
@ KirbyTheVampire I never said this article was about the price just saying that if it's an over priced handheld it wont sell another problem is confusing consumers by calling it a hybrid.
This is powerful for a handheld especially from Nintendo as I would expect it to be only slightly more powerful than the Vita with it been a Nintendo handheld. But a cause for concern is incredibly poor advertising from Nintendo with them saying it's a hybrid which it is not they have just moved their home console games to this new handheld. Another concern is the price it needs to be low as look what happened with the 3DS when that launched. at a high price.
Hope these rumours arn't true but I suspect they are. Nintendo just simply don't learn a handheld priced to high will simply not sell which is what this is it was proven when the 3DS launched. Trying to cover over the cracks that they have dropped out of the home console business and advertising this as a hybrid is a bad move.
@MarkyVigoroth Gamecube emulation wouldn't have been required to run Gamecube games on Wii U as the Wii U is just a souped up Gamecube same as the Original Wii was hence how it played Gamecube games naitevely. The Wii U also could have played Gamecube discs games in this way but they didn't include memory card or controller ports so didn't enable it in the Wii U's operating system. It was still possible if they had released a add on box with Gamecube controller ports and memory card ports then just added a Wii U update but this didn't happen.
Looks awesome cant wait for it to launch this going to be the most powerful and expensive handheld consoles ever. It's just a shame that Nintendo has pulled out of the home console arena.
Won't miss the second screen to much but I think it's sad that Nintendo has pulled out of the Home Console game and is now only making solely handhelds it's sad that a company as big as Nintendo has bowed out.
The Wii U was a good console I just kind of wished they had hung on another year to increase the specs to get them closer to PS4 and Xbox One so then all the 3rd party games that the PS4 enjoys could have been ported over then it would have sold really well. The gamepad was a great idea if only their where more 3rd party games as the Wii U had the best first party games by a mile. I just hope Nintendo gets 3rd party developers on board for NX as it will be amazing to have Nintendo and all 3rd party devs on the same platform. Hope Nintendo can turn things around.
@Slim1999 No just saying that if a N64 Pokemon game a console released 20 years ago can look better than the 3DS version of Pokemon that that's pretty embarrassing that's why they should have at least created a new Pokemon Stadium type game on Wii U to link your 3DS with to battle your Pokemon in real Polygon 3D.
@Mega_Yarn_Poochy No I'm deadly serious the Pokemon Stadium games on N64 look more realistic if the battles looked at least that good plus added commentary would be awesome!
The graphics look terrible Pokemon Stadium looks 10x better although the N64 was a very powerful machine 3x more powerful than the original Playstation with the 3DS supposedly being on par with the Psp if not slightly better I expected better graphics than this.
Just want them to make a proper gaming console the disaster of the Wii and Wii U need pushing under the rug yes the Wii sold incredibly well but it all but killed off any major 3rd party support they had gained back with the gamecube by aiming the console at non gamers. As most gamers played the 360 or PS3 that's why when the few 3rd party developers tried to release games aimed at gamers on the platform they absolutely bombed Madworld a case in point. The original Wi was a huge dust collector for a lot of people especially the few actual gamers that bought one.
Would love to see a Pokemon game launched to link up with Sun and Moon to battle your Pokemon in 3D like in the Pokemon Stadium days as there wasn't a Pokemon game released on Wii U to link up with your 3Ds Pokemon games for some strange reason.
@ThanosReXXX I agree but as it's just an upgraded Xbox One and plays the same games it's still classed as being in the same generation. Where as the NX will be a totally different platform so classed as next gen it's stupid the way it's worked out I know but it's just the way it is.
This could be an awesome console if it has high specs as having all the great 3rd party games plus Nintendo's fantastic exclusive titles would make it the best console. So probably needs to be at least PS4 specs or above but would still be slightly embarrassing for them if it is a less powerful console than the Xbox one Scorpio as a next gen Console (NX) being less powerful than a last gen console (Xbox One Scorpio) probably won't go down too well with the gaming Community.
It also could be delayed because they saw the new PS4 specs as it would be very embarrassing to release a 9th gen console that is weaker than an eight gen (PS4 Neo) Console.
Just got my limited edition today a day early and I have to say it's well worth the price of admission the art book is absolutely beautiful plus to have all three games on one 4GB Cart is fantastic. Would go as far to say it's even worth those prices on ebay absolutely stunning.
Used to be a great site this now it's just average thanks to it becoming a disorganised mess most likely due to using the playstation life sites landscape which was a mess and obviously still is why didn't the playstation lifes site just follow this sites design before I got ruined instead of the other way around makes no sense wish someone would buy these out and get it sorted.
Sick of seeing Rumours I honestly don't believe it will be as powerful as current gen I think it will be very powerful mind you slightly above Standard PS4 but will still be lagging behing the PS4 Neo which I have finally decided I'm gong for (as I don't have a PS4 yet) instead of the NX as I have lost total confidence with Nintendo after the Wii U. May buy it down the line if it ends up in the bargain bin if it flops or if it gets 3rd party support on board and does well as unless this happens then I think it will sell even less than the Wii U
I own Phoenix Wright Dual Destinies digitally but would still buy it physically to go on the shelf with my other Phoenix Wright games. As for Project Zero have a copy of that already.
