Basically, they say they are overpriced given their capacity, and even more when you look at their speeds (class 4 is literally shit tier)

From what I can tell from the reviews, these are the complaints about it:
1. It's overpriced for a Class-4 card (you can easily get equivalent capacity Class-10 cards, or even UHS-U3 cards, for half the price nowadays)
2. The slot on the included microSD-to-SD adapter is too stiff and the build quality isn't to par with what is expected with an official Nintendo product.
3. The capacity is too high to be even remotely useful for the average Japanese gamer anyways, so therefore it isn't worth the high price point.

tbh it would make sense that the nes mini would use a 3DS end, plus i think maybe people misinterpreted the statement about the nes min i needing a AC adapter for the USB cord to power the device, seeing as most TV's have a USB port then it kinda makes sense to try skimp on the power supply of the nes mini (from a money making sense, not consumer) but i guess people assumed that meant the console was using a USB port, but they are using a simple 3ds-> USB cable for powering instead ......i wonder if it will have a blue tip
Not really, the EBGames/Gamestop generic DS Lite/DSi/3DS charger works fine. Just make sure you don't plug it into any USB wall-charger without checking the rating on it and you'll be 100% fine. Any laptop or desktop USB port will be perfectly safe to use.

If it has a limited edition designed like mario, zelda, samus, link, etc., then I might consider. hehe
Some very rare cases I've seen some 'intended for one device' wall-chargers that will try to push like 2Amps.
I don't even think that would matter, but I figured I'd add that just as a precaution.
EDIT: I didn't answer you, my bad. I meant the voltage and amps the charger can push. 'Can' push, not necessarily 'will'.

Just wondering, would it be possible to make a hardmod, so connecting the usb charger to the pc will act as a SD adapter? (Like mobile phones) Connecting charging ports to SD pins.
Yeah, that shouldn't be a problem at all. Devices only pull as much electricity as it needs. I've charged my 3DS several times using a 2.4A-charger and I've confirmed that it only draws about 900mA when charging despite the charger supporting much more.
I highly doubt that would be possible. The data pins are most likely shorted out like most other charging cables to indicate it's used for charging only.
To add on this, amperes can be as high as they get, they won't ever damage the unit as it'll just pull the required amount or less in case the unit can't provide the expect current (unless there's something designed wrong in one of the two sides).
On the other hand, voltage works differently. It should always be the same as the original adapter ±5%. Higher voltages will in the best case overheat the components, in the worst case, fry them entirely. Some ICs can also be killed by undervolting, but it's a rarer case.
Not quite. I've actually almost burned myself using a crappy third-party USB charger, so I really wouldn't trust my devices with something that cheap.
I'm sorry to hear that, some stuff can be really poorly made and that's a fact. I'm not looking to argue on the internet.

I rather enjoy a life of taking it easy. I haven't reached that life yet though. -
