Yeah, that one seems to be holding out pretty well in terms of stock, I think it's been in stock this whole time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figured they had sold out too. Scalpers are already selling Super NT pre orders on ebay for over double the price. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki | 4,934 Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Well maybe $500 is just too much to stomach, even for scalpers to have to put all up front in the first place. Ultimately a metal shell with a NES inside from the 80s, woopdeedoo. Better off just modding an original and adding HDMI to that anyway for notably less. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BriGuy82 | 768 Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 I just don't understand how they have a controller in the picture with the console and it doesn't come with it. That is straight up false advertising to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like the look of the NT mini noir on my shelf but I totally agree it's probably not worth 499 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is straight up false advertising to me. Honestly, it wouldn't even bug me that much if you could still purchase that nice looking all black controller separately. The controllers are only like $25, well that's annoying, but no big deal, it isn't that much money: But you can't, the black classic controller seems to have been completely discontinued for whatever dumb reason, so you literally cannot get it unless you want to pay like $80-$100 on eBay, so you just have to settle with a mismatched SNES or SF styled controller. Really, really annoying honestly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, that's the price of a PS5 or Xbox Series X by that point (Well, assuming you can find one at MSRP, of course.) If it was the only one of it's kind on the market then that might tempt people a bit more, but alternatives to it that are almost as good exist, and the average Joe who just wants to play some of their old NES games on their big ol' TV probably won't notice much of a difference between the two while using them. I mean, you could buy two Super NTs and it'd still be over $100 cheaper than a single NT Mini. Anyway, I'm done ranting about the price of the NT Mini, hahaha. I just don't think I'll ever understand why they never came out with a cheaper model of that thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet parts-wise it’s nearly the same cost to manufacture as the Super NT (minus the high quality metal outer case of the Mini Noir). This is what you call “market level pricing” in business, as opposed to “cost plus” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesRobot | 5,801 Events Team · Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 Nt Mini Noir is now sold out. I'm guessing the price point is what kept it at bay a little longer than the Super. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bearcat-Doug | 5,105 Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 (edited) It looks like resellers are getting $400+ for Super NT pre sales. These scalpers wouldn't be making money if people would quit paying 2-3x retail for these things. Edited April 11, 2021 by Bearcat-Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I wish they would put more cores on the super nt/mega sg like with the jailbreak for the nt mini but I know they wont because then who is gonna buy their other things I guess? Maybe they can go out of business so they can do it without caring lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorEncore | 3,691 Posted April 12, 2021 Author Share Posted April 12, 2021 Congrats to everyone who got one! It seems likely they will restock the Super Nt again this year, so I'll try to keep this thread updated. Nt Mini is probably done for good based on their messaging thus far. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDIRunner | 2,741 Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Super NTs have started shipping. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki | 4,934 Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 (edited) Yeah mine did on the 15th and out of California which surprised me. Should be here earlier next week. Was happy to see shipping was less this time around, and that they're using Fedex not Oops(UPS) that likes to break every box if not drive a hole into them.

TDIRunner | 2,741 Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 (edited) One nice thing about working from home is that you don't have to worry about your Analogue products sitting on your front porch all day while it's snowing in April. One downside to working from home is that you have a Super Nt sitting next to you on your desk while you are trying to work.
