Nintendo is going to do an N64 mini the very moment the technology becomes cheap enough to nickel & dime, with Good performance, whilst still charging a PREMIUM price. The tech just isn't there yet.

I covet my SNES Classic. I waited 3 hours in the cold outside of Target to get mine on day one. I've since modded it with Hackchi, got a wireless controller adapter, a hard shell travel case, and even a 8bitdo Pro 2 controller because of its SNES design. It's the perfect package of my favorite console ever made.
They stopped RIGHT before the one I really wanted, the N64. I've been waiting on a N64 Classic Edition ever since the SNES Classic was announced and I realized the Classic Editions were gonna be this new successful thing for a while. Especially when Nintendo did what they did with the NES and SNES controllers by refiling the patents.
@@john-sp8jk agree! But there's some games on Genesis 2 Mini that I wanna have 😍 That "Sega's Zelda game" for example. Crusader of Centy? Or what's it called?

I remember getting the NES Classic one first and loving it. There was a shortage but for whatever reason I was able to get one through Amazon. The SNES definitely had a shortage but I slept outside to get one at Best Buy and as I drove home in the morning I stopped by a GameStop to see if I could get one more for my buddy. I couldn't even get in the door cause the line for then SNES one went all around the building. The store likely only had so many obviously but I still go in line and waited. When I made it in I was like the 14th person in line and the GameStop staff said... "ok, people, everyone behind the guy in the blue shirt we're out of them so no more after him" the guy was like 10th in line. Everyone then left sad except me. I waited and then when I finally go upfront I asked for the SNES one and they said they may have a couple left and I was able to get one. Lol. I gave it to my buddy and he loved it. It was hard to get one for weeks after that but it was cool my buddy and I had one. 👍
These things got me back into retro gaming. Expensive gateway drug that lead to Raspberry Pi versions, RetroPie, Recal Box, FPGAs and everdrives. The controllers are the lasting gems with the minis. With Raphnet adapters they work on everything. For awhile you could even order replacement SNES Classic Controllers right from Nintendo.
And then you plug them into og hardware...I have brand new NES/SNES/N64 controllers on my OG hardware...running both mini and wireless versions from Nintendy store
The thing I don't get about these mini consoles is these companies went through the trouble to design and manufacture them. Why not re-release them from time to time? Like Konami didn't make enough of the Turbo for sure. They could easily re-release them every couple of years and sell out.
So I own the NES Classic and SNES and the European version plus the PlayStation classic, but when he said that it was released in 2016. I was like no way that was 8 years ago.

@@markianclark9645 Understood, I'm pretty much in the same boat as you on the current state of trying to give a company my money. I'll attempt to buy it at launch and if that doesn't work I'll forget it unless I find it cheap later down the line. I've been lucky enough to get pretty much all the minis including the TG16 for normal price at launch. But yeah, trying to just buy something has gotten crazy in the last 5 years or so.
@rgsniper2 Me too. I also have a Genesis mini, I wanted to get the turbografx16 mini as well, but it’s sold out and people selling it on eBay for 400 dollars, or 100 dollars pre-owned.
There was a line of about 200 people outside Best Buy when the NES Classic came out. I was number 50 I think, got the last one no joke. I was so thankful as they were selling for 4 times the amount for quite a while online. Does the Japanese version have the better music like the actual famicom?
These are great because they allow me to actually have Roms on different devices without the guilt because I own the classic console with the games in them. I have the Sega one too, but passed on the PS1 classic idk why it was cheap as $20 at one point.
The PSone mini was $20 at some point because retailers wanted to get rid of them, due to the system being rushed to market and as a result, folks didn't want it.
I'm the same way. I own many of these classic games as original or paid digital emulation, so if it's on a Chinese rom console, I feel no guilt for playing it there. I will not play things though that I don't already own if it's still available to buy. Then I'm going to make sure that developer gets their money.
@@greenmachine5487 Exactly... Like any Nintendo executive would pull over and waste 30 seconds of their day to piss on anyone in this comment section who was on fire. They made their millons on these games when they were relevant 30+ years ago, I have no guilt loading up my Everdrives with them.
I was so fortunate to get both the snes and nes minis at retail price. Still have them. Gave me the opportunity to beat some games I fell short on as a child. I let my younger brother borrow them for a year. Got them back recently and my son plays on them both. Worth every penny.
I honestly never figured they'd even try with other minis simply due to how large controllers became afterwards. N64 mini would end up being pretty weird to package and scale as a result, and the gamecube is already pretty small.
I have a CIB NES mini and a CIB SNES mini. I also managed to find an open box snes that i use when i feel like playing it. Really loved the mini retro consoles. Wish they’d do more 😊
Nice Ron! Man 2016 was amazing when the NES mini dropped. It was like black friday but earlier. Grandma's elbow droppin' from the top ropes EVERYWHERE! 💥💪💯🤣👍😎
I really thought they'd make these forever, but I ate those words lol. I did end up getting a super good deal on one pretty recently, I wish I had gotten it sooner.
Nintendo is taking down everyone P2P networks that has Nintendo based Roms to stop anything. Crazy they haven’t told Amazon to stop selling Emulated Game Drives
@@midnightowl8692, Nope, Amazon already pulled illegal products that violate Nintendo Rights. Some in amazon fake products found a loophole. Nintendo is not afraid to see Amazon cause Nintendo has the very right to do so, and amazon even with trillion can't compromise to Nintendo. Also, Amazon just folllowed Nintendo Protocol to stop making Pre orders, So Nintendo showed the power to amazon lol
Amazon doesn’t seem to care if it steps on IPs just like it doesn’t seem to care about many state and global regulations on their packaging. They are so large and so powerful they just ignore the lawsuits.
I couldn’t find a nes classic so I bought the famicom one. Very neat systems. I bought the nes one a few months later. I eventually got the snes, super famicom, genesis, and psx ones I mainly bought each system for the controllers vs using a pi. Seems weird but yeah.
I remember when the OG Nintendo Classic came out and the SNES Classic's they were so popular. I ended up getting them for friends, and I only got a small profit because it was helping them out and I happened to be working a 2nd job part-time at Best Buy.
I had a Raspberry Pi 3 setup with SNES-like gamepads to play retro games on when the SNES Classic came out but I still bought one on principle -- Nintendo released a version of Star Fox 2 that hadn't been seen before with the SNES Classic and I wanted to encourage that behaviour.
I never knew that they had this bundle. I wish it came out in the US. I would love to see more variations of these as well as a Gameboy and from Sega a master system. But I guess the hype is over.
I was able to get a Japanese Famicom while they were still available. I was so thrilled with it I bought a Super Famicom open box but like new. Both are great! I liked the game selection better on the Japanese versions.
I remember when these Nintendo mini consoles started coming out and everyone went insane. Then a year or 2 after It was found everywhere for around the price of a new Nintendo Switch game. Then It left forever. I have a Super Nintendo classic system and the Nintendo Famicom classic : Shonen Jump 50th anniversary gold edition they are fun. Cool video. ^_^
That's good. I personally got so disgusted by how few of them were out there that I refuse to buy one. I'll just play on real hardware and not give them any money if that's going to be their attitude.
@@SmallSpoonBrigade I have an original NES and cartridges. The only issue is I only have room for so much to set up. The Classic is perfect. Easy to set up and I have hacked it to be able to add more games. It was really easy to do.
I feel the Polymega does everything we could have wanted from these systems... well, pretty much (until the online store launches). I noticed Playmaji has base units available to buy, but the price they want for them is ridiculous.
I'm glad I was able to get both the NES and SNES Classics. I didn't get them when they initially came out. I got them about the time there was another shipment in 2018. I got the NES on Christmas and the SNES maybe a day after it. Fortunately one of my local GameStops had some new ones available.
I was kinda shocked they never released the classic systems with wifi and access to a store where you could buy additional games… seems like such a wasted opportunity
They would rather just sell you a new console for that. The Wii didn't even have the ability to transfer the games if you needed a new one. I think there was some sort of manual way they could do it though.
I got both and used Hakchi to mod them. Added TG-16 and neo geo to the SNES mini and i got the Sega Genesis Model II mini later on with SEGA CD titles included. I love these mini consoles, still use them all the time and I do wish the N64 got a release, but I also have my emulation on my pc I use for more powerful systems so it's not the end of the world to me personally... but having the NES, SNES and Genesis mini's is special to me because those were the era of gaming i was the most invested into as a kid. having the physical feel of the console and controller means something to me with those consoles where its not as important to me with others...
That's pretty neat, man. I have all the mini consoles. I purchased two Snes and Genesis Model 1 mini's so I could jailbreak one while keeping the other stock. I also have both Game & Watches as well. My favorite mini by far is my Core Grafx. I actually still play it quite a bit.
I don't regret using my knowledge of when the SNES Classic was coming in at work to get one on launch. It's been modded, and plays all sorts of 90s retro titles now.
You mean the thing we're paying for regardless because of online multiplayer? Least they do is throw us part of a bone. Hell, I'm amazed they keep NES, SNES, and GB/GBC to the basic tier of NSO and don't make us pay extra like they do for Genesis, N64, and GBA.
@jasonvoorhees5640 Did Nintendo back in the early 80th to early 2000 take people to prison outside of Japan, keep hunting an emulator in hope of wiping it out of existence (never will happen), while charging subcription for bare boned simple features like online functions and lock retro games under the subscription payment?
I bought all of these mini consoles; I have the NES, SNES, Turbographix-16, Neo Geo, Genesis I and II minis, and love them all. I would have gone for an N64 and Gamecube mini as well, but I guess they do not want to do this because they want you to rent classic games on the Switch instead. I still have hope that maybe we will get a Sega Dreamcast or Saturn mini one day.
I love my classic's. Hard to get, but they were worth it. I feel that this was a good bridge to get people excited again about classic games. Now the Nintendo Switch Online service has taken over.
I missed out on the first release of the NES mini and there was no way I was paying scalper prices. I did get one when they re released them in 2018 though, and I caught the mini console collecting bug from that moment. I've got a NES mini, SNES mini, PS1 mini, Neo Geo mini, Mega Drive mini 1 and 2, C64 mini, A500 mini and a PC Engine mini. I can't believe the prices of the Nintendo minis now - looking at over £200 a piece on Amazon! The Mega Drive minis have equally as crazy value. I'm glad I have them, they are going to be my retirement fund if they keep on rising in value 😂
Nintendo said for around one or two years ago that they thinking about to make more Classic Mini consoles. So I hope they make a Nintendo 64 Classic Mini some time. I have both NES Classic Mini, SNES Classic Mini and Super Mario Bros and The Legend of Zelda Game & Watch.
All they had to do was re-release the original NES with HDMI and whatever games they could relicense but no they had to ruin it for everyone while wasting money.
100 Could you imagine Christmas time releasing the Nintendo with, ROB, Mario & Duck Hunt... Crazy. It would be cool if they did some remastering with the cartridges. And as big as the cartridges were they could definitely put an HD version along with the regular version. Crazy this was never done
@@MetalFacedGamer Agreed. They don't want to make more physical copies so I can have one too. I'm not going to purchase something that I don't even own.
My cousin the GOAT, who helped me build my gaming pc, got me a NES Mini for my birthday. Best gift. Later on I added more games to it. On top of that, I still have my wii pro controllers which also works with the NES Mini. (1 with and 1 without the hand grip) Fast forward to today, I just ordered the "Anbernic RG35XXSP" The GameBoy color scheme 😄 I am super set ♥ If I ever come across a SNES Mini, that would be so awesome..
The SNES Mini is definitely one of my favourite gaming purchases, excellent joypads just like the originals back in the day, and a decent selection of games included, which of course I edited soon after by adding even more 😊
I got the snes edition ....but the lack of options to force 16:9 meant I hacked it then realised I'd get better results from a retropie so this is the solution i'm using now
It would be awesome if Nintendo did a newer version of this mini Console with some preloaded games and also you can purchase games from Nintendo Store using WiFi or Ethernet connection.
If Nintendo puts out a mini, they'll lose money. Why? It's because retro consoles are the elephant in the room now. Many people have been buying retro consoles that has all of the games (especially all of the Nintendo games) that one would ever want to play. Plus, retro consoles have all or nearly all of the games on other consoles including Sega Genesis, TurboGraphic, PlayStation 1, etc. all on ONE device! Thus, why would one want to buy just a Nintendo Mini when there are GREAT emulation consoles that have numbers like 60,000 plus games that WORK??? I wouldn't buy one. Thus, Nintendo would have to compete with those and so would Sega and other companies who would put out a mini system in 2024. It would be too little too late with those out. Plus, those consoles come from a country like China where it's legal to sell pirated stuff. I used to live there and one could buy a ton of pirated stuff that works damn good!
The gameboy mini would have sold and probably still would srll like gang busters. Basicaly a Game Boy pocket size original Game Boy shaped handheld with a bunch of biukt in games. Wonder if they would have used an eink display to replicate the GB screen?
This little Snes Mini is a pure jewel !! i've hack my own with 80 games translate in my language (it's a shame that we can only found US games in all country pack) , i could add other console, but i wouldn't done this craps so only my Childood TOP 80 SNES games, and it's work fine ... the ultimate SNES mini ever
MLP, just wanted to say how excited I get when you release a new video. I love and like all of them. Your quirky attitude is a fun mask for your passion for video games. Please keep it up!
@@raycert07 do your math on the price for that controller, and no, the whole point of the consoles is to play them with the original controller, nobody is going to buy a N64 mini that has the same games as the online service but doesn't include a N64 controller
Luv a good amount of the Mini's produced over the years. I would pay probably close to $200 for a Jaguar Mini with 50 or so games and decent controllers.
Bought the Famicom Mini from Amazon Japan and got it as new and it was. Then I bought the Super Famicom from Amazon Japan and they sent me just the system and controllers and it was clearly used. Irks me and makes me want to buy that cool boxed set you have
What they could do is release a n64 classic edition before the switch 2 releases and a GameCube classic edition after the switch 2 releases. Then if they want to resell the nes and snes classic editions, they could do that but with the top loader nes and control deck snes models with games that didn’t make the first cut and some never released games.
I wish I'd have grabbed those, but I just stuck with my raspberry pi. I do own both Game & Watch games though, and also wish they would have released more of them.
I wish Nintendo would release a bundle including both the NES and SNES Classic for $99. It won't happen but that's what I wish they'd do sometime between now and the release of the Switch 2.
Hmm hard to say, I feel like if they don't I won't be surprised but if they do I also won't be surprised lol. I still remember trying to find an NES classic and seeing them on ebay for 1200 bucks with an extra controller. 😲
I would totally buy more Nintendo mini consoles and with a way to buy more games digitally or physically for them even if it’s limited or a Nintendo online/nintendo store exclusive etc. I think there’s potential that Nintendo will have exclusive technology in their Nintendo stores and perhaps Super Nintendo world one day
Here’s a crazy idea. Why can Nintendo and Sony incorporate FPGA chips into their consoles? They could blend them into their hardware and utilize cores for their own games, or for a sort of Virtual Console purpose. When they’re not being used to run retro software, they could maybe be utilized for other purposes in modern games?
It seems like only yesterday I heard these were coming out and like a fool I thought I’d be able to get one XD I get the feeling these were only thrown together at the time to make up for losses from the Wii U and now that they’re rolling in it with the Switch and it’s streaming service, I doubt they’re rushing to do this again
Nintendo should release Gameboy DMG/ Color Classic that you can use as controller for the switch and can also play those GB DMG/ Color games on the Online Service.
Pretty much any OG/modded/re-shelled iteration of Game Boy with a flashcart == Game Boy Classic/Mini, except probably better. Nevermind the handheld emulator and fpga devices.
I would still rather see Nintendo come out with multi carts and a re-production of the machine with SD card and HDMI so you can play ROMs on it as well as play your original games kind of like the Atari 2600+. Give us some multi cards with about 20-30 games on each for Nintendo and Super Nintendo.

These are great because they allow me to actually have Roms on different devices without the guilt because I own the classic console with the games in them. I have the Sega one too, but passed on the PS1 classic idk why it was cheap as $20 at one point.
Thats always been my way of thinking - paid my licence / attendance fee and so i've also supported them feeling. Can relate.
The PSone mini was $20 at some point because retailers wanted to get rid of them, due to the system being rushed to market and as a result, folks didn't want it.
I'm the same way. I own many of these classic games as original or paid digital emulation, so if it's on a Chinese rom console, I feel no guilt for playing it there. I will not play things though that I don't already own if it's still available to buy. Then I'm going to make sure that developer gets their money.
"Guilt" 😂
@@greenmachine5487 Exactly... Like any Nintendo executive would pull over and waste 30 seconds of their day to piss on anyone in this comment section who was on fire. They made their millons on these games when they were relevant 30+ years ago, I have no guilt loading up my Everdrives with them.
I was so fortunate to get both the snes and nes minis at retail price. Still have them. Gave me the opportunity to beat some games I fell short on as a child. I let my younger brother borrow them for a year. Got them back recently and my son plays on them both. Worth every penny.
I honestly never figured they'd even try with other minis simply due to how large controllers became afterwards. N64 mini would end up being pretty weird to package and scale as a result, and the gamecube is already pretty small.
Naah it wouldnt be weird to package, use a box like the famicom at around @3:25 the controller can sit adjacent to the mini console in the box.
I started with the snes mini and now I have a whole collection of mini consoles.
I have a CIB NES mini and a CIB SNES mini. I also managed to find an open box snes that i use when i feel like playing it. Really loved the mini retro consoles. Wish they’d do more 😊
keep it safely , it will become collector's
Nice Ron! Man 2016 was amazing when the NES mini dropped. It was like black friday but earlier. Grandma's elbow droppin' from the top ropes EVERYWHERE! 💥💪💯🤣👍😎
A GameCube mini would’ve been amazing
Gamecube is a mini console :) i rebuild my own with Picoboot and HDMI adapter !! and it's awesome ....
N64 Classic would of been amazing. I loved these minis so much i even bought their Japanese Counter Parts. ❤
I really thought they'd make these forever, but I ate those words lol. I did end up getting a super good deal on one pretty recently, I wish I had gotten it sooner.
Imagine the hilarity of him opening it up after all these years to find rocks inside
I snapped one up when they released the SNES Classic. It was so cheap new, but now so expensive on the used market.
Nintendo is taking down everyone P2P networks that has Nintendo based Roms to stop anything. Crazy they haven’t told Amazon to stop selling Emulated Game Drives
Amazon has tons of money and lawyers. I think nintendo sees it as a monetary loss to go against a top retailer of their products
That's cause those emulator drive doesn't had any Nintendo games on them. Those were mostly PC, shovelware, and bootleg games.
@@midnightowl8692, Nope, Amazon already pulled illegal products that violate Nintendo Rights. Some in amazon fake products found a loophole.
Nintendo is not afraid to see Amazon cause Nintendo has the very right to do so, and amazon even with trillion can't compromise to Nintendo. Also, Amazon just folllowed Nintendo Protocol to stop making Pre orders, So Nintendo showed the power to amazon lol
Amazon doesn’t seem to care if it steps on IPs just like it doesn’t seem to care about many state and global regulations on their packaging. They are so large and so powerful they just ignore the lawsuits.
They can't even touch Ali express neither. Selling those 12tb loaded drives
I couldn’t find a nes classic so I bought the famicom one.
Very neat systems.
I bought the nes one a few months later.
I eventually got the snes, super famicom, genesis, and psx ones
I mainly bought each system for the controllers vs using a pi. Seems weird but yeah.
I remember when the OG Nintendo Classic came out and the SNES Classic's they were so popular. I ended up getting them for friends, and I only got a small profit because it was helping them out and I happened to be working a 2nd job part-time at Best Buy.
I had a Raspberry Pi 3 setup with SNES-like gamepads to play retro games on when the SNES Classic came out but I still bought one on principle -- Nintendo released a version of Star Fox 2 that hadn't been seen before with the SNES Classic and I wanted to encourage that behaviour.
I never knew that they had this bundle. I wish it came out in the US. I would love to see more variations of these as well as a Gameboy and from Sega a master system. But I guess the hype is over.
I was able to get a Japanese Famicom while they were still available. I was so thrilled with it I bought a Super Famicom open box but like new. Both are great! I liked the game selection better on the Japanese versions.
Love these, i got the NES, SNES, GENNY, PS classics
I remember when these Nintendo mini consoles started coming out and everyone went insane. Then a year or 2 after It was found everywhere for around the price of a new Nintendo Switch game. Then It left forever. I have a Super Nintendo classic system and the Nintendo Famicom classic : Shonen Jump 50th anniversary gold edition they are fun. Cool video. ^_^
I'll forever be thankful when you put the word out back in 2021 or so that Nintendo America had some refurb NES Classics left. I love mine.
That's good. I personally got so disgusted by how few of them were out there that I refuse to buy one. I'll just play on real hardware and not give them any money if that's going to be their attitude.
@@SmallSpoonBrigade I have an original NES and cartridges. The only issue is I only have room for so much to set up. The Classic is perfect. Easy to set up and I have hacked it to be able to add more games. It was really easy to do.
I feel the Polymega does everything we could have wanted from these systems... well, pretty much (until the online store launches). I noticed Playmaji has base units available to buy, but the price they want for them is ridiculous.
I'm glad I was able to get both the NES and SNES Classics. I didn't get them when they initially came out. I got them about the time there was another shipment in 2018. I got the NES on Christmas and the SNES maybe a day after it. Fortunately one of my local GameStops had some new ones available.
I was kinda shocked they never released the classic systems with wifi and access to a store where you could buy additional games… seems like such a wasted opportunity
They would rather just sell you a new console for that. The Wii didn't even have the ability to transfer the games if you needed a new one. I think there was some sort of manual way they could do it though.
I got both and used Hakchi to mod them. Added TG-16 and neo geo to the SNES mini and i got the Sega Genesis Model II mini later on with SEGA CD titles included. I love these mini consoles, still use them all the time and I do wish the N64 got a release, but I also have my emulation on my pc I use for more powerful systems so it's not the end of the world to me personally... but having the NES, SNES and Genesis mini's is special to me because those were the era of gaming i was the most invested into as a kid. having the physical feel of the console and controller means something to me with those consoles where its not as important to me with others...
That's pretty neat, man. I have all the mini consoles. I purchased two Snes and Genesis Model 1 mini's so I could jailbreak one while keeping the other stock. I also have both Game & Watches as well. My favorite mini by far is my Core Grafx. I actually still play it quite a bit.
I was thrilled to get the NES, SNES, Sega & PlayStation classic. I also have the Neo Geo classic. I really wish there was a N64 & PS2 classic though.
I don't regret using my knowledge of when the SNES Classic was coming in at work to get one on launch. It's been modded, and plays all sorts of 90s retro titles now.
I was totally in line overnight at Bestbuy for the launch of the NES Classic, it was freezing, lost feeing in my feet, haha! Good times!! 🍻
I have two of those bundles from Amazon Japan. They came with F-Zero manuals. I was obsessed with minis at the time.
why sell games when you can rent them on your shitty NSO forever.
Today Nintendo = Japanese Empire WW2
Online play. The mini consoles were very basic.
You mean the thing we're paying for regardless because of online multiplayer? Least they do is throw us part of a bone. Hell, I'm amazed they keep NES, SNES, and GB/GBC to the basic tier of NSO and don't make us pay extra like they do for Genesis, N64, and GBA.
@jasonvoorhees5640 Did Nintendo back in the early 80th to early 2000 take people to prison outside of Japan, keep hunting an emulator in hope of wiping it out of existence (never will happen), while charging subcription for bare boned simple features like online functions and lock retro games under the subscription payment?
As a British man I can tell you I no longer care about Nintendo minis. Why? Well we are getting the GOAT of all retro soon….. The ZX spectrum!!!😊😊
I bought all of these mini consoles; I have the NES, SNES, Turbographix-16, Neo Geo, Genesis I and II minis, and love them all. I would have gone for an N64 and Gamecube mini as well, but I guess they do not want to do this because they want you to rent classic games on the Switch instead. I still have hope that maybe we will get a Sega Dreamcast or Saturn mini one day.
I love my classic's. Hard to get, but they were worth it. I feel that this was a good bridge to get people excited again about classic games. Now the Nintendo Switch Online service has taken over.
I missed out on the first release of the NES mini and there was no way I was paying scalper prices. I did get one when they re released them in 2018 though, and I caught the mini console collecting bug from that moment. I've got a NES mini, SNES mini, PS1 mini, Neo Geo mini, Mega Drive mini 1 and 2, C64 mini, A500 mini and a PC Engine mini. I can't believe the prices of the Nintendo minis now - looking at over £200 a piece on Amazon! The Mega Drive minis have equally as crazy value. I'm glad I have them, they are going to be my retirement fund if they keep on rising in value 😂
I preordered mine at GameStop. Was in line the day it came out. It was a hot Florida day.
Nintendo said for around one or two years ago that they thinking about to make more Classic Mini consoles. So I hope they make a Nintendo 64 Classic Mini some time.
I have both NES Classic Mini, SNES Classic Mini and Super Mario Bros and The Legend of Zelda Game & Watch.
I picked up a ps1 mini. Soft Modded it and it plays all the old school games. I'm currently playing legend of zelda(nes).
I got the PS Classic and the Genesis Mini 2. Hacked the PS Classic and turned it into a retro gaming emulation beast thanks to your videos on it.
All they had to do was re-release the original NES with HDMI and whatever games they could relicense but no they had to ruin it for everyone while wasting money.
100
Could you imagine Christmas time releasing the Nintendo with, ROB, Mario & Duck Hunt... Crazy.
It would be cool if they did some remastering with the cartridges.
And as big as the cartridges were they could definitely put an HD version along with the regular version.
Crazy this was never done
@@MetalFacedGamer Agreed. They don't want to make more physical copies so I can have one too. I'm not going to purchase something that I don't even own.
My cousin the GOAT, who helped me build my gaming pc, got me a NES Mini for my birthday. Best gift. Later on I added more games to it. On top of that, I still have my wii pro controllers which also works with the NES Mini. (1 with and 1 without the hand grip)
Fast forward to today, I just ordered the "Anbernic RG35XXSP" The GameBoy color scheme 😄
I am super set ♥
If I ever come across a SNES Mini, that would be so awesome..
The SNES Mini is definitely one of my favourite gaming purchases, excellent joypads just like the originals back in the day, and a decent selection of games included, which of course I edited soon after by adding even more 😊
for nes classic launch day I had bad food poisening. I puked in wallmart line up for it
I got the snes edition ....but the lack of options to force 16:9 meant I hacked it then realised I'd get better results from a retropie so this is the solution i'm using now
I am glad i got most of them at the time got Nes, Turbografx, Sega Genesis model 1&2, Neo Geo arcade stick pro and Snes
I got one (NES classic) and i stood in line to get a SNES classic. And im glad i got it.
It would be awesome if Nintendo did a newer version of this mini Console with some preloaded games and also you can purchase games from Nintendo Store using WiFi or Ethernet connection.
If Nintendo puts out a mini, they'll lose money. Why? It's because retro consoles are the elephant in the room now. Many people have been buying retro consoles that has all of the games (especially all of the Nintendo games) that one would ever want to play. Plus, retro consoles have all or nearly all of the games on other consoles including Sega Genesis, TurboGraphic, PlayStation 1, etc. all on ONE device! Thus, why would one want to buy just a Nintendo Mini when there are GREAT emulation consoles that have numbers like 60,000 plus games that WORK??? I wouldn't buy one. Thus, Nintendo would have to compete with those and so would Sega and other companies who would put out a mini system in 2024. It would be too little too late with those out. Plus, those consoles come from a country like China where it's legal to sell pirated stuff. I used to live there and one could buy a ton of pirated stuff that works damn good!
I love my mini systems. I have the NES, SNES, Genesis, and the TurboGrafx 16. I’m NEVER getting rid of these babies!
The gameboy mini would have sold and probably still would srll like gang busters. Basicaly a Game Boy pocket size original Game Boy shaped handheld with a bunch of biukt in games.
Wonder if they would have used an eink display to replicate the GB screen?
That bundle looks awesome. Got my japanese version when i went pajan 2017 and 2018. Famicom was hard to find in 2017 lol
They look cool; almost wish I had got that bundle at MSRP, but it is admittedly superfluous. The western one is great and can be modded
This little Snes Mini is a pure jewel !! i've hack my own with 80 games translate in my language (it's a shame that we can only found US games in all country pack) , i could add other console, but i wouldn't done this craps so only my Childood TOP 80 SNES games, and it's work fine ... the ultimate SNES mini ever
MLP, just wanted to say how excited I get when you release a new video. I love and like all of them. Your quirky attitude is a fun mask for your passion for video games. Please keep it up!
A mini cabecube classic and a mini Wii classic would be awesome, but those are more powerful than they've made. They don't even have a N64
The main issue is the controller getting more and more expensive to make.
@@homerc9101 all they need to do is include a switch pro controller. layout doesn't matter, especially when you color code the controller
@@raycert07 do your math on the price for that controller, and no, the whole point of the consoles is to play them with the original controller, nobody is going to buy a N64 mini that has the same games as the online service but doesn't include a N64 controller
HAKCHI FTW 😂😂😂
Still my go-to emulation system, good for up-to Playstation 1. Best selling console of 2018!
It´s great, the device even supports wii classic controllers.
Luv a good amount of the Mini's produced over the years. I would pay probably close to $200 for a Jaguar Mini with 50 or so games and decent controllers.
Bought the Famicom Mini from Amazon Japan and got it as new and it was. Then I bought the Super Famicom from Amazon Japan and they sent me just the system and controllers and it was clearly used. Irks me and makes me want to buy that cool boxed set you have
What they could do is release a n64 classic edition before the switch 2 releases and a GameCube classic edition after the switch 2 releases. Then if they want to resell the nes and snes classic editions, they could do that but with the top loader nes and control deck snes models with games that didn’t make the first cut and some never released games.
Was hoping for a N64 mini…that would have been beautiful.
I wish I'd have grabbed those, but I just stuck with my raspberry pi. I do own both Game & Watch games though, and also wish they would have released more of them.
Even though I had raspberry pies when the classics came out, I still got one of each if I just happened to find them in the wild.
im still waiting for the ARCADE classics !!
At least Sega have said that they might do more mini consoles if people want to.
They make more money off a subscription service, people will keep paying to "rent" the games. These you buy it... you own it forever.
would love a donkey kong game and watch
With DK jr included and Mario bro!
I wish Nintendo would release a bundle including both the NES and SNES Classic for $99. It won't happen but that's what I wish they'd do sometime between now and the release of the Switch 2.
I got the SNES classic edition and I honestly regret selling it, I had modded it with "Hakchi" and I loved it
Well if this is true then thank god I’ve had a hard drive full of ROMS for about 15 years now.
Hmm hard to say, I feel like if they don't I won't be surprised but if they do I also won't be surprised lol. I still remember trying to find an NES classic and seeing them on ebay for 1200 bucks with an extra controller. 😲
I so want a n64 edition. Extremely bummed it never happened.
The mini console boom has kind have run its course, especially with things like Retropie and emulation handhelds rising in popularity
I would totally buy more Nintendo mini consoles and with a way to buy more games digitally or physically for them even if it’s limited or a Nintendo online/nintendo store exclusive etc. I think there’s potential that Nintendo will have exclusive technology in their Nintendo stores and perhaps Super Nintendo world one day
Here’s a crazy idea. Why can Nintendo and Sony incorporate FPGA chips into their consoles? They could blend them into their hardware and utilize cores for their own games, or for a sort of Virtual Console purpose. When they’re not being used to run retro software, they could maybe be utilized for other purposes in modern games?
Never got one of these i get get a ps1 classic for like 20$ at best buy way back pretty good for 20 at the time
A gamecube mini would've been amazing. Instant buy. If they still made the nes and snes minis I'd buy them too. Ps1 mini was cool too.
It seems like only yesterday I heard these were coming out and like a fool I thought I’d be able to get one XD
I get the feeling these were only thrown together at the time to make up for losses from the Wii U and now that they’re rolling in it with the Switch and it’s streaming service, I doubt they’re rushing to do this again
Nintendo should release Gameboy DMG/ Color Classic that you can use as controller for the switch and can also play those GB DMG/ Color games on the Online Service.
I got all of the mini consoles. I really wish we could get a Dreamcast or N64 though.
I thought those things were cool collectibles but it got kind of ruined by the rampant scalping
I didn’t even know there was an exclusive bundle released in Japan
Pretty much any OG/modded/re-shelled iteration of Game Boy with a flashcart == Game Boy Classic/Mini, except probably better. Nevermind the handheld emulator and fpga devices.
Loves the raspberry pi in the background.
I would still rather see Nintendo come out with multi carts and a re-production of the machine with SD card and HDMI so you can play ROMs on it as well as play your original games kind of like the Atari 2600+. Give us some multi cards with about 20-30 games on each for Nintendo and Super Nintendo.
