Well it is dodge AF considering you can buy the exact same item for far far less in many other places online.

The item is dodge, not the seller.
The seller can sell anything he or she want to.
It'd be more than unfortunate if someone spent that sort of money on something thinking it was something else.
The differences might be obvious to the users here, but to the less accustomed to videogames they all look the same, don't they?

In the sellers defence, they do mention the word "clone" quite clearly in the title though.
And it's used elsewhere in the ad, describing other items they are selling.

But, to repeat, I didn't refer to the seller as dodgy, only the unlicensed clone as dodgy, because it is.

The bootleg fonts and lack of logos really give off a first impression.

Just started playing it properly now and was getting frustrated with having to reset from console
A quick Google told me the Wii controller could be used as it has home button built in
Happy

You could also do the hack and you can use button combos to reset the console

RobbingBandit · 24-01-2018 10:53pm

Posted on the bargain thread but will put up here too as more may see it, no guarantee on this btw.

Hori snes pad down to £16.99 on uk argos site, still €36.99 on argos.ie

Reserve one now just in case they do go down over night its available to order in most stores as of now

Out of stock in dublin as of midnight hope someone gets a bargain

Monokne · 25-01-2018 12:13am

You can also buy them here for £18 but they've been that price for 3 months so you're not relying on Argos' sales or anything:

RobbingBandit · 25-01-2018 1:12am

Out of stock now in dublin either way

Corholio · 25-01-2018 1:20am

Would definitely have picked up that Hori controller for a decent price but looking at the reviews for it, it seems an unusually poor quality from Hori. Lot of complaints about the D-pad on it, a lot of people having ones that don't register inputs properly, similar some of the Switch Pro Controllers.

RobbingBandit · 25-01-2018 10:17am

Didn't drop in price unfortunately am just after being told in hospital eyes are still too compromised to use something like this it's a horror story not being able to enjoy games like I used to. 2 years and 4 months now since treatment began so probably never gonna happen now still a man child can dream.

Sorry to hear that dude.

RobbingBandit · 25-01-2018 10:45am

I can still use a 2DS or 3ds so not all bad but ah **** I need to post about this stuff in personal issues or meds thread bumming everyone out posting it here.

Star Lord · 25-01-2018 10:47am

Need to get yourself one of those cybernetic eyes!

Hope you get some improvement soon!

RobbingBandit · 25-01-2018 11:01am

Next time you beat up the collector see what space age occular enhancers he's got.

Normal program recommencing in 3,2,1

Gonzo · 30-01-2018 5:01pm

the snes mini is listed as out of stock in Smyths in Blanch, went in there today to try and luck and they had one in stock! looking forward to giving this a go. The original SNES was my first ever home console and is still one of my favorite consoles of all time!.

CaSCaDe711 · 31-01-2018 11:09pm

Hi all. Looking at the Smyths website just now, all stores listed have stock available, and it's also available for home delivery

Mr.Fantastic · 01-02-2018 9:48am

Loving this box of retro goodness. Managed to complete super metroid in 5 hours not bad for first run through.

Just wondering can anyone tell me where to get extension cable in a bricks and mortar store.

Got a twin pack off orzly on amazon seem to have misplaced one extension lead makes Mario kart with herself a bit more annoying when one of us is near the screen.

Banjo · 01-02-2018 11:12am

Apparently the cables have popped up in Dealz a few times.

I'm pretty sure I spent 5 hours just on that bit where you have to wall jump about 8 times in a row to get out of a pit. And then walked away and came back and did the same thing the following day and every day for around 2 weeks. It's one of the reasons why I didn't get a 1st Class honours....

Yeah they don't make games like they used to anyway.

Went on to megaman and really enjoyed it aswell, tried to get into FF3 but dunno the random battle mechanic irks me now after playing modern JRPGs like persona 5.

RobbingBandit · 01-02-2018 10:04pm

I've got two cables I'd trade for some plutonium if anyone has any

CastorTroy · 02-02-2018 12:11am

Ah crap. I would've taken the cables off you with this plutonium some Libyans gave me, but don't think they'd be too happy.

Banjo · 02-02-2018 2:49am

Bring the cables, Castor - this concerns them! It's your controllers, somethings gotta be done about your controllers!

RobbingBandit · 02-02-2018 9:12am

Well you could always get me the left foot of Banjo, you could have one cable for an ankle but both for the whole foot.

CiDeRmAn · 02-02-2018 9:36am

Damn, still have to raid the gamesroom for suitable swapsies candidates for those cables....
Do you have a Famicom?
I've a spare Gradius here

maddymcmaddser · 02-02-2018 4:28pm

I tried to get this pair of extension cords from Amazon and the order just never arrived and I had to ask for a refund.
