The biggest failing of the NES Classic wasn’t ludicrously short controller cables but the lack of units that Nintendo produced. Online marketplace eBay was indeed flooded with units bought by less scrupulous people, who inflated the price to Cape Town real estate prices and much like those gentrification bastards, got away with it. That’s a problem that the SNES Classic Mini is likely to not have, as Nintendo is promising “dramatically increased” stock.

Months after release, Nintendo is finally giving fans of its stretchy arm fighter the one feature they've deserved since launch - a way to change their control schemes.

I love the Nintendo Switch. As a platform, it’s rapidly becoming one of the most used systems in my home. It’s tricky to convince people that the Switch is such a killer though, especially given Nintendo’s history – or the massive gap of it – in South Africa. You really have to use the thing to appreciate its majesty. If you’re keen on one, but want to get all handsy with the thing and its games before you make that sort of financial commitment, Nintendo South Africa has you covered, provided you live in Johannesburg or its surrounds.

Heck, you might even spot a certain home-brewed adventure in the trailer inside.

If you just haven't had enough of Skyrim for some reason, the impending Nintendo Switch port offers an impressive experience.

Nintendo’s greatest console of the 90s, with 21 games bundled inside of it. Much like last year’s NES Classic Mini console, players will be able to work with a save-game feature that allows them to pause and resume a game at any given point. That feature has been expanded for the SNES Classic, which now allows you to boot up a save and view your gameplay and jump in to take control at any point.
