Had a feeling it was you.

As always, all your points are really bad at best.First of all, quality over quantity.Dosent matter a collection having over 100 games if those games are bad, or not that good.I would much rather pay for the Super Nintendo mini over any collection that has a myriad of games, if I find those games to be of an inferior quality.Why pay for games that I wont buy?
To your other point, you are already assuming that Nintendo is undershipping an item that hasnt released yet!Talk about premature.
About they making less than what the demand demands, it sucks.I wanted a NES mini and didnt bought one because of that, but I guess its more of a collector item.And I mean, it is what it is.But availability has nothing to do if the product is worth the asking price or not.
In the end, I think it is worth the money.I personally would have wished it was priced the same as the NES, but considering the quality of its games are superior, I feel that the price is fair.

the Pal version of it just looks like such a beautiful little collectors item, even if it wasn't a full functional SNES with classics like Secret of mana on it I would consider paying the €100 just to own it as something on a shelf :)

Yeah, it's too much for me, but this is mainly going to be for collectors, and they're going to buy it for that price.

Another one... there's something really wrong with VG charts these days... day after day after day with topics like this... and always by the same 10 different people.

Yes, get a cheap PS3, CFW and play everything up to the PS2 on it. Better bang for your buck.
...if you're an ass.


I am an ass.

I also want this SNES mini. Never had a SNES.

It's a collector's item and I'm a collector therefore I will buy one

Sure it is. The company put the hard work into creating something and you take a copy of it without paying. It's no different than if you photocopied a book or took a video camera into a movie theater, you have no right to that data regardless of whether the original remains untouched. Taking something that doesn't belong to you is the definition of stealing.

I mean, I think the price of old NES and SNES games on the Virtual Console in general is a bit too high, but for what it is and comparing it to those prices, the SNES classic isn't actually that expensive. A single SNES game costs at least 7,99 on the VC, so 21 games for $80 dollars is comparatively cheap.

For me the value comes from the Snes controllers with the wii mote ports, those are very rare currently and very expensive(around $80). They were only made available as Club Nintendo gifts like 10 years ago so I'm excited to get a pair. Also the shell is cute and fun.
