Given that I've never given a blowey before, it can't be worth more than £10.

That's what you said when you went down on me.

I bet you've got more chance of securing a pre-order with Nintendo than you have at their site for that price!

The number of sign-ups they must get every time they advertise those prices. Was it not Gameseek that honoured the £200 Switch pre-orders, too?

Strong marketing game.

Only a month and a bit to go :toot:

I keep forgetting how many amazing games are on this :datass:

Told my Mrs that secret of mana is 2 player and she's up for playing through it with me :toot:

It's a great selection. The only issue I have are the 2 Kirby games - they are the weakness in this collection, and should have been replaced by Pilotwings and Chrono Trigger.

I guess Nintendo want to promote Kirby for the upcoming Switch release.

Rewind mode looks really handy.

Directly into my veins :datass:

Can't wait for this.

Going to play in 'pixel perfect' mode.

Meanwhile over in America, Best Buy and Amazon put these up over night...and they then sold out immediately. :slol:

US trailer

That voiceover :fp:

It's like they just asked some random bloke on the street if he had 5 minutes to spare. Have you ever heard a more disinterested, phoned-in voice-over.

I keep forgetting how incredibly ugly the American SNES was. What on Earth possessed them to redesign it in the first place?

I have no idea why they did it, but I agree it is hideous. It’s not even “cute” in an ugly way, it’s just horrible.

Wasn't it anecdotally because Americans were more inclinded to put cans of soda on top of their NES which led to spillages and therefore damage, so with the SNES they made it more of a sloping design which prevented said cans of fizzy pop from causing issues?

Of course that could be total nonsense, but an ITK source I have told that version.

Murcans probably wanted something more edgy

That sounds like utter bollocks but I really hope it is true. :lol:

Someone in Neogaf posted this in their pre-order thread,

Currently have 68 extra consoles, I will be helping people who missed out on a FCFS basis, and yes I will be helping them for retail, not scalper price.

Ad7 should hang his head in shame at his n00b level pre-ordering.

Why would you order 68 extra consoles, only to then sell them at cost? At £69 a go, that's £4,692 they are spending just to sell at no profit? :lol:
