Yep, for once the lack of a power plug is actually a benefit, for importers that is.

FCC still with its finger up his ass means no NoA pre-order still.

Rumors are saying by the end of July.

Je suis sérieux Duque pour ta 2e précommande.

Trop tard ! Il y aura une pénurie ici aussi, bien que moindre, et quelqu'un s'est déjà manifesté.

Amazon.co.uk, .de ou.fr peuvent livrer aussi au Canada je pense.

Je suis passé par ce lien pour commander. Hors Amazon, les autres ne livrent pas au Canada a priori :

Ils ont un Facebook aussi.

PS: j'ai une manette Nes Mini en trop  :P

Not as popular as the NES or SNES, except in North America. OTOH, a N64 with a HDMi port, when the original did not have RGB quality (officially) would be quite an improvement, without mentioning the HD factor.
Finding 20 classics won't take long, but 30 will be difficult.

My only concern is that I think the 3d graphics aged (and in general age) much worse.

Valid point.
Early 3D certainly aged badly, specially for the N64 and its "blurry" (composite) graphics.

I think so but first I think they go thru the Gameboy classic & a SNES 2.

and maybe game compilation for the Switch.

Oh :(

Il y eu des réassorts ici et là ; et au Québec ? T'as réussi à mettre la main sur une préco ou pas ?

Grey Fox

La console ne sera pas disponible au Québec, peu être jamais.

J'ai une précommande chez FNAC, en espérant qu'ils ne me l'annullent pas.

Sinon, peu être que j'irai en Ontario.

Je viens de voir que la Fnac expédiait au Canada donc c'est bon.
Il se peut que le prix de la console baisse un peu d'ici à la sortie. Déjà vue à 75 € ailleurs en préco.

Nintendo came thru & the Console will be available in Quebec.

No one is doing pre-orders anymore since it crashes every store website that has tried it so far.

Line-up in the morning & hope.

Le pire dans tout sa? Un SNES Original qui fonctionne, j'en ai toujours un.

Moi aussi. ;) Mais une SNES qui ressort le tout parfaitement en HDMI, sans besoin de repasser par un appareil pour convertir du RGB (Japon et Europe) 240P pour un écran plat ça reste intéressant.
Le signal pourri composite ou même S-vidéo NTSC U/C sur écran plat (4K? HDR?)? LULZ!

Nintendo says more SNES Minis will be made available than NES minis, while the latter is to be produced again next year, the former might avoid the scalping and scarcity of last year for the NES.

PS: j'avais oublié que les consoles changeaient de genre au Québec.  :P
Comme au Brésil par rapport au Portugal.  :hmm: (o console vs a consola)

C'est plus compliqué que sa; une console mais un lorsqu'on utilise son nom. ex: un playstation, un Nintendo, etc. La Wii est une exception bizarre.

Jason Schreier has theorized that the NES Mini was a production tie over while they were prepping to start the Switch & had already ended WiiU production. Now that switch is up running & some capacity is available they are used to make NES & SNES minis.

Nintendo stumbled into a product people wanted, they didn't know.
