    I've never liked the monochromatic grey/purple design of the NA SNES. Really prefer the JP/EU design.

    I do agree, the JP/EU SNES is the more aesthetically pleasing design. However I like the US one due to its uniqueness and subtle historical inside of the US video game industry as well as the slow to catch up Nintendo mentality - All which the design represents.

    Plus the JP/EU design is just as monochromatic

    Red, Green, Blue, and Yellow buttons, so less monochromatic.

    True but we are talking about the console itself and there is purple

    I should have paid closer attention to preorder dates for the Classic Mini SNES. I'd happily buy one but odds of getting in store stock are low. Sure I have my original and an emulator, but still would have been a nice get.

    (Bring on another reissue that throws in DKC2 and I won't feel bad)

    This article has a list of Target stores that will have stock available on Saturday http://www.vooks.net/selected-target...able-saturday/
    But even if you miss those there's nothing to fear as Nintendo confirmed a few weeks back that they will be not only releasing more Snes mini's but will be re-releasing the Nes mini as well.
    Suffice to say that scalpers are not pleased about this lol

    Nintendo says that they have a continuous production run until next year and that the mini-NES is being re-released. I think that with a bit of patience and keeping your eye open (we have to in Australia for anything collectable even if retail) then you will get one.
