I don't think the reviewer grasped the concept of Nintendo Land at all.
The WiiU looks so bulky and ugly, like they designed that in mind to sell a "WiiU Slim" 3-6 months after the original.

nintendo tends to REMOVE features as the console ages in order to sharply reduce pricing
wii sports will always be the classic

If anything, the NES-02 at least fixed a lockout chip problem that's persistent in the NES-01. Plus it looks nicer.
[QUOTE=Shugo;38463874]And it [i]removed composite video support[/i], which is pretty important, making shitty RF the only way to connect it. The Japanese version of that same console PROMOTED higher video quality, and was in fact called the "Famicom A/V"; it used the SNES's Multi-A/V connector. NES-101 fixed the cart slot problems, but the trade-off is pretty awful.[/quote]
Keep forgetting about that. Think that can be easily modded onto.

Right on the last part, but wrong on NES being the last. You're forgetting about this:

...which removed S-video support, much like NES-101's video format removal. I have absolutely no clue why, too, because the hardware is still in there; it only takes a very small modification to restore it.
And if you want to get really technical, GCN and Wii also had revisions, though both of them didn't change the hardware shape; they just removed features. GCN lost its component video port and Wii lost GCN backwards compatibility. Really, N64 was the only Nintendo console that didn't get a major revision, unless I'm mistaken.
It's the same with other home consoles: The first Sega Megadrive had a headphone jack on the front that the Mark II model lacks altogether, and the 3rd model can't connect at all to the Sega CD for one thing.
Aren't most of these meant to be multiplayer? Sound like the reviewer only played by himself.

You know what? I've never seen the SNES-101 in person, no one I know has ever owned one.
