    Are the separate Nes classic controllers supposed to be getting a re-release aswell? I missed out on those first time around

    Controllers are on the Nintendo uk website so cant see why not. Anybody know how much Gamestop are taking for preorders in store

    Do not trust Gamestop. They've cancelled numerous orders of mine over the years. They cancelled my pre-order for the NES Classic Mini controllers as well first time around and I ordered as soon as they went live. They're scum. Plain and simple.

    I've never had that issue with my store. Snes mini was 6 weeks after release but they had told me that when I preordered. Lads and Girls in my local one are sound enough. Happy to talk gaming and chit chat compared to my local cex. Where there robots and have very little interest in anything. Its the staff in gamestop is why I go there. Doesn't mean I like the way Gamestop do things.

    And those NES controllers were in intense demand, I'd say a lot of people ordered them online and were disappointed.

    If I remember correctly GameStop, in some sort of uncommon freak event, had them waaaay underpriced, while the CEX around the corner were giving multiples of that in cash/credit, so they were snatched up in jig time and sold on for profit.

    If I remember correctly, Gamestop had the controllers priced at €12.99. At any rate, I think they were vapourware.

    Can I ask - the stupid power cable, is that just a usb power charger? Or is it a specific adapter?

    Thinking of getting one for Christmas but the extras needed to actually make it work are frustrating

    Any advice greatly appreciated

    Usb cable that you can plug into the t.v. to use. If you do not have one available just buy a cheap usb plug in deals or any other shop.

    Anyone know if the controllers they’re selling in Dealz are any good, could be a good way around the short leads on the standard controllers.

    This may have already been asked, but I ain’t going through 184 pages to find out :)

    They a arent too bad, I got some extension cables on Amazon last year and they are great in fairness. 4 year old walks across the cables just free so no console going flying :)

    PC World/Currys have the NES Mini Classic for €49.99, which is pretty good.
    A few in stock in the Swords, Airside branch.
