    Amazon has them now.

    Anyone else get one? I finally did. I follow Slickdeals on twitter, which is how I found out yesterday.
    Alright, alright, alright!

    My NES Mini arrived today! Woohoo!
    I'm gonna wait for my controller extenders to get here (tomorrow I believe) before I hook it up and play.

    You know you can play every single NES game on your phone right?

    True, it is nice. but the way many games are, it is unplayable on the screen and with the controls on the screen like they are. Hy wrists/hands also start to hurt playing on the phone for too long. Not to mention notifications, battery life, etc...

    nowinstock just pinged me that they are available on Amazon.

    Awesome!

    make sure you do the hack for more games. Was easy as can be.
    Hack the NES Classic? Huh?
    yes. It is simple.

    Here is the video I used. Really couldnt be easier. I even screwed it up at first and it didnt matter or mess up my system

    Since then, they improved it, so instead of 90-ish games, you can put almost 700 on

    are you guys signed up for the nowinstock notifications?

    I already bought mine, but I get a few of those notifications a week.

    Is it legit?
    Yeah, they are legit. I have used them a few times in the past For this, and also for a PS4 a few years ago
    I have had 2 notifications this week via text (I havent turned them off yet), and saw a buy button, and in one case, out of curiosity, was able to get one in my cart and go to checkout.

    A month or so ago, because their notification, I was able to score 2, one for me, and one for a friend.
    If you are stateside and happen to get a notification please buy it for me.
    OK. I got one.

    Now what?

    It is the same hack... but they updated/upgraded the software to be capable to pack more games on there.
    Also, new features, like a 'hotkey' can be programmed on your controller to emulate the 'Reset' button (such as down and select). It also will find a patch for the ROMs and automatically Google the box art and metadata.

    I set it up last night and it went off without a hitch.

    Here is the video I used
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E9aCrSRzJAc

    The link for Hakchi2 is under the video, and a comment at the top provides the ROM set.

    I found the NES Mini Classic pads to be much more stiff than the original controls. Maybe because theyre brand new.

    It's not that. It's just like how I remembered playing. You press the damn jump button and Mario doesn't jump and instead he slides off into a hole and you die... Then you throw remote at wall. Pick up remote and repeat.
