Title: Nes Mini Price
Post by: e_brugal on December 15, 2017, 11:22:14 AM

Hi guys. Was checking the prices of consoles and looked at a lot of nes minis for under US$90

Did the price Drop or this aren't originals?

No Nintendo logo on the lid.  Probably Chinese clone.

They’re also rereleasing them this summer, so I would expect prices to drop as that approaches.

I wonder are these bad clones or made in same factory with same specifications but omitting Nintendo logo (thus not paying Nintendo).

I once bought few WiiU Pro Controllers (knowing they wee clones) that turned out to be quality wise exactly same as official ones.
Only difference was that the battery cover didn't have Nintendo text (circuit board did...).
Half the price of official.

I'm always thinking that same factory that makes the original is the same that makes the copy, at least on cellphones

That's common practice in Chinese manufacturing. It wouldn't surprise me.
