There seem to be lots of USB SNES-like controllers, maybe just that and a Raspberry Pi 3 would be as good.

Hmm...

Looks like the Buffalo Classic is the way to go!

If anyone does still want one of these, Game have restocked each store with single digit numbers of the units to most branches. At least that was what a staff member told me today.

Forgot to add, £79.99 so £10 above RRP but a lot cheaper than eBay.

I had seen these when first announced and thought, I'd like to get me one of these.
Then I forgot about it.

About three weeks ago I happened to open Amazon up and a banner on the front page said get a mini-snes for £49.99 with Prime Now.
So I clicked it, expecting it to be some sort of "but you have to buy this too, and this etc etc" but I added it to my basket.
Clicked pay.
2 hours later I had one in my hot little hands.

I just presumed they were freely available again!

Anyway, nice little thing - but, I concur with you that the leads are a bit short!




I find it kind of funny, I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which i`m dying are the best i`ve ever had.

Yeah, I've got it on my watch list on Amazon:

Thanks for thinking of me tho!

I actually think now I'll get more enjoyment making a Pi 3 emulated SNES (which also does NES and the odd other console) than getting the mini itself.

Costed out the following:

  • Pi 3
  • 32gb micro sd card
  • PSU
  • SNES case
  • 2x Buffalo SNES-like USB controllers
£102 on Amazon, which is cheaper than the inflated SNES mini prices, but not too bad considering I would get NES emulation on top.

goes to order...
