Nintendo's Comeback: The SNES Mini Following the NES Mini's Success

Fancy getting your hands on the latest Nintendo SNES mini? Pre-orders went wild for this modern take on a classic, selling out in mere minutes online. Don’t worry if you weren't one of the few to purchase this console before the release however, because where there is a will there is a way. Discover why the Nintendo SNES Mini is on track to becoming one of the biggest collector's items and where you may be able to get your hand on one very soon.

The New and Improved
Let’s get down to the gritty details, what’s in the box and what makes the latest 2017 version of the SNES mini so desirable? More games for a start. The latest version will come packaged with twenty-one games including the all-time classics and favourites Super Mario, Zelda, Donkey Kong, Super Mario Kart, Final Fantasy III and adding to this the never-before-released Star Fox 2 game. If only there was a way to go back in time to that crucial point right before you lost the game...well, Nintendo has got your back with its all new replay function meaning you can rewind or fast forward to before you saved the game.


Can’t Beat an Original
In November 2016, thirty years after the release of the iconic NES, the comeback of all comebacks took place. Finally, a sweet looking miniature and updated version of an all-time classic appeared on the market. With the ability to connect to your TV via an HDML cable and controllers just like the original. The world of gamers rejoiced. Its biggest problem however? The limited shelf life and limited stock, making this one a dream buy at auction for Nintendo fanatics all over the world. Now discontinued, the Nintendo Classic is a collectable. Just look at any auctions online and you will find that this little one soars much higher than its original retail price of just $60. If this is any prediction of the SNES Mini's success, it should also become a collectible in no time.


What’s all the Fuss about?
At the end of the day, everyone loves to play games and relive memories of decades gone by. The greatness of the SNES mini is by far its simplicity both in its design and the games of which it is composed. With high quality, new functions and the most influential and iconic games of our time, there is no reason not to love Nintendo!
