In recent years the retro community and those wishing to relive their youth have been spoilt with choice, whether it be new games for classic systems, books, magazines and console remakes just as the recently released Nintendo Super Nintendo Entertainment System Mini.
Available in limited numbers (like the original release NES Classic Mini from last year) so you had to be quick and lucky to get hold of one.
It was a Saturday morning about 8 am and I was out and about when I remembered that the Super NES mini was released officially today. So, I headed to my local department store to see if there was any chance of picking one up.
The queue had already formed, plenty of geeky looking guys and girls all patiently waiting for the store to open. So, I queued up and waited as well. Soon an employee came over and asked whether I was interested in the Nintendo and provided me with a ticket, number 35 or 47 available.
The unit contains 20+1 games (20 to play and 1 to unlock) and plugs into any modern TV via HDMI cable (supplied), two joysticks and only had to add power which came from my TV USB port.
It contains an easy to use menu, and quick to start a new game and have some fun. So far, my favorite title is Super Mario Kart. Now I just need a few spare hours to play a few titles and all will be good.
