After several months of speculation, yesterday Nintendo officially announced the Nintendo Classic Mini: SNES, the new retro-gaming platform inspired by Nintendo's console back in 1992.
After the great success of the NES Mini, the company has already announced that this time they will manufacture more units to meet the high demand from the public. However, Amazon UK has also been forced to close pre-orders after just half an hour, due to the insanely high demand, and we don't know when it will become available again. (Update: Argos seems to have them in stock, but you'll have to pay up front if you want one.)
Looks like Nintendo will have to work hard to meet the interest in the console that will contain 20 games, along with a surprise: Star Fox 2, the sequel to the original Star Fox, which has never been released before.
Of course, if you head over to Ebay you'll find lots of so-called "scalpers" on there trying to flog their pre-orders at a huge markup, taking advantage of the interest in the mini console. The question is, then, will you buy - or try to buy, in this case - the SNES Mini?
Thanks, TGG.
