If you've got a Mini NES or Mini SNES, chances are you'd also appreciate some mini manuals to go with it.

Nintendo can claim that sticking with wired controllers makes its SNES Classic Edition a more authentic retro gaming experience, but in reality it's probably just a cost-saving measure. Wrangling controller cables isn't a part of your childhood worth reliving, however, so Nyko once again has mercifully bestowed gamers with an affordable wireless alternative.

This week's Big Question was a no-brainer. Nintendo has released two mini versions of their classic consoles. But which one has the better games?

The worldwide struggle to bag a Nintendo Classic Mini NES has been tough on everyone. If you've managed to resist the lure of the eBay reseller (damn their eyes), we have some good news for you: the Nintendo Classic Mini NES will be available to buy on Target's online store today for $99. Here are some online buying tips to improve your chances.

If you missed out the first few times, this is (probably) your last opportunity to snag one before January.

If you missed out on the lottery that was the EB Games sale and elsewhere, here's another chance to get one before Christmas.

Love, everyone.

When EB Games took pre-orders for the Nintendo Mini NES Classic earlier this week, the website crashed under the sheer volume of traffic from eager buyers. This happened two days in a row, leaving a mob of angry customers in its wake. With all the hype around the classic console, you'd think EB Games would have expected the level of traffic to its online store and worked to ensure its website was reliable. We take a look at where EB Games might have gone wrong and what businesses can learn from this debacle.

Trying to buy the Nintendo Classic Mini NES from EB Games this week has, to put it mildly, a nightmare. And earlier this afternoon, EB Games published a statement outlining precisely why.

So you missed out on pre-ordering a Nintendo Classic Mini NES. Most people did; EB Games' website crashed two days in a row under the sheer volume of gamers trying to buy the console online. The games retailer has sold out of the console yet again. If you still desperately want to get one, here are a few options you can resort to.

On its social media pages, EB Games has announced it is sold out of the Nintendo Classic Mini NES.

As you might expect, people are pretty frustrated.

Look I'm not saying the Nintendo SNES is absolutely going to happen. I'm saying it should happen.

It should happen because it's greatest console of all time, and the market for something like this clearly exists.

It should happen because I think about the games Nintendo could put on a device like this and I literally get giddy inside.

So I decided to make a list.

And once again people are extremely pissed.

If you want to see this glorious screen on your TV come Christmas, then you'll need a Nintendo Classic Mini NES. And if you want to get one of those without paying an exorbitant amount to a hawker on Ebay, you'll need to buy from a retailer.

EB Games tried to kick off their second round of pre-orders yesterday, only for their site to crash in a fireball of disappointment. So the retailer is reopening pre-orders today.

The first thing you should know about the NES Classic, aka the Mini-NES, is that it does exactly what it's supposed to do. The second thing you should know is that it's kind of a pain in the arse.

After being completely bombarded by customers desperate to pre-order a Mini NES, EB Games has given up the ghost.

Its site is in a bad way, and it wants to do this all over again tomorrow.

EB Games did people the service of announcing its latest round of pre-orders for the Nintendo Classic Mini NES, but it looks like the whole thing just backfired. Badly.

EB's website is in a pretty bad state right now.

As you may already be aware, EB Games is taking a second run of pre-orders for the Nintendo Classic Mini NES today at 12 midday.

But what you might have missed: JB Hi-Fi already did its second run, on the quiet.

Didn't matter: they were gone within minutes regardless.

This is insane.

If you missed out on the first round of pre-orders for the Mini NES, then today's another chance to jump on the classic Nintendo train.
