Gloves | 11,759 Administrator · Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 I very reluctantly placed a pre-order. It's incredibly expensive and will likely cost me big in customs fees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's still not worth $500 to me, so I'm not preordering, but the lack of being able to load other cores onto the system would be a deal breaker for me if I was otherwise willing to pay their unnecessarily high premium. What makes you think that the SD card slot was removed? Because the NT Mini Noir page doesn't state SD card slot or did they mention the removal specifically?

It's specifically not mentioned in any of the features, but was a bullet point on the original NT mini. Basically all the bullet points line up from the first run to the second beyond #2 showing "v2" and the SD slot being referenced. It wasn't any different with the first model, but I noticed that they're still not showing a photo of the side of the system where the slot is. Seems like if they were simply doing a second run and nothing changed beyond the tint of the case, they wouldn't make any changes in the bullet points showing all the features.

See the photo I added in my post above. I boosted up the lighting. edit: The store section of Anaolgue's site does show the side with a card slot.

DoctorEncore | 3,690 Posted February 28, 2020 Author Share Posted February 28, 2020 I'm pretty sure it's still there as @Deadeye points out in his picture above. They would probably mention it if they made the change. It's a huge selling point and this is a boutique item, so expect more features instead of less.

Not sure it's an amazing investment, but I'd be shocked if she actually lost money on it. Before this re-release they routinely sold for $1500+ on eBay as recently as a few weeks ago. They probably won't reach the same heights this time, but who knows. Edited February 28, 2020 by DoctorEncore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDIRunner | 2,721 Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 I ordered one as well. I've been thinking about it ever since they announced the final release. I hope I don't end up with buyer's remorse. I'm definitely not looking at this as an investment. However, I feel fairly comfortable that I could at least get my money back if I change my mind. That is more or less how I justified it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bearcat-Doug | 5,104 Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 I already have an AVS and I'm pretty happy with it. The pocket looks pretty cool though. I might have to get one of those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no question though that the NT Mini looks a lot better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The jailbreak abilities are very tempting though, but not $300 worth. I'd probably go with a mega sg if that was the goal, as those are very nice.

Jicsan | 585 Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 Ordered one. Guess the cheaper plastic one was wishful thinking after all. At least they include a controller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The AVS really doesn't look bad when it's closed up. I just hate the look of the door when it's opened. For the record, I wish the NT was designed to look more like the Super NT or the Mega SG both of which were clearly inspired by the original systems. That's what I really want to see.

ErickRPG | 42 Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 So are they gonna make a cheaper plastic NT mini or is this pretty much it? That's super expensive but if this is the only NES FPGa in the anywhere local future I might have to go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
