it's missing castlevania 3

Would be one hell of a thing if they were to release a classic console that could run all their NES/SNES/N64/Gamecube games and i mean all of them, not the weak selection of games that they got on the Wii U store

[QUOTE=YouWithTheFace.;50750312]it's missing castlevania 3[/QUOTE] From what I've heard it's a little complicated to emulate that, though why I don't know. Regardless, I would have loved 2 be replaced with 3.

[I]Now you're playing with power[/I] Shiiiit

That's dirt cheap. I hope more games will come.

I'm curious as to how the interface will look

for 60 bucks? Id still rather just hook up my own nes, or just use an emulator. It's a neat collectors thing however.

I hope they do a SNES one.

i'm surprised some people are complaining about price. for 30 actually good games, even if they costed $4 a pop + an actual console you'd still be looking at twice the price. for something that actually hooks up to modern tvs (im assuming hdmi,) it's pretty great. Mario Bros 3 is usually $20 in good condition, $60 for all of them is a steal.

This thing really is just a 60 dollar thing to sit on a shelf because its an official mini nes. Any one who actually really cares about this probably already has a backlog of nes roms on emulators and really only wanna buy this to have it as a collectors item because it exists, not to play games with an hdmi output that's already been a thing for smartphones and emulators for years.

Didn't Simon's Quest suffer from a shoddy translation? I wonder if they'll still use that.

I love the 80's look the ad has :v:

If only it had Contra to go with Super C. Though it still looks really nice.

I have a NES here at home and I'm also big fan of emulation, but I still think it's a fantastic idea for those who don't want to deal ROMs and emulators (more people than you may think) and maybe they're not looking to pick up a NES console plus game cartridges for themselves. With this you have a little AIO plug and play unit, and that's what will attract a lot of people who just want to sit down and play some of the old games they remember. It's also a convenient starter solution for younger children who may be interested in trying out some well known NES classics.

I feel like I could get an earlier plug-n-play for much cheaper. I'm not gonna judge people for buying it though, sounds like a great collector's item.

nintendo falling behind the times again and making no mention of vr support such a shame this would be a neat gift, not something i would purchase for myself.

[QUOTE=LaughingStock;50753415]nintendo falling behind the times again and making no mention of [B]vr support[/B] such a shame[/QUOTE] ??? i love the shit out of vr but i do not understand this statement at all in the context of this video.

[QUOTE=Gamerman12;50753420]??? i love the shit out of vr but i do not understand this statement at all in the context of this video.[/QUOTE] i'm shitty at jokes please ignore

[QUOTE=Gamerman12;50752234]for something that actually hooks up to modern tvs (im assuming hdmi,) it's pretty great.[/QUOTE]IIRC HDMI is the only video output supported.

Is this gonna be harder to get than certain amiibos?

[QUOTE=Viva;50752010]for 60 bucks? Id still rather just hook up my own nes, or just use an emulator. It's a neat collectors thing however.[/QUOTE] It's perfect for people like me who don't own an NES.

[QUOTE=EmilyVasquez;50752677]If only it had Contra to go with Super C. Though it still looks really nice.[/QUOTE] That's probably because Konami is Konami, I'm surprised they even let them put games on this TBH. Never been into NES games but I'll look into getting one of these. If they make an SNES version I'll be all over that. [editline]22nd July 2016[/editline] Also Mr Dream Punchout lol

[QUOTE=LaughingStock;50753435]i'm shitty at jokes please ignore[/QUOTE] I got it.

Waste of money.

I think a lot of people are misunderstanding the intent of this thing. It's not for your retro gaming fan who already collects stuff or knows about emulators and shit already. Chances are you've already got your bases covered. This thing is for 80s kids who are nostalgic for the games they played when they were younger but never actually got in to collecting them and might not even play video games anymore or find them too complicated. A lot of this group will also have kids who [I]do[/I] play games and they would love to share the games they had as kids with them. It's basically meant as a convenient, quick, cheap grab bag of NES classics as an easy way to relive the NES days without having to go out and get an NES and each individual game you want on ebay for probably more money. And all in HD. I've been wondering for a long time why Nintendo hasn't done something like this because it'd be cheap as fuck but probably [I]really[/I] profitable, and bam, here it is. And I'm excited for it! My family's going to get one and it means I won't have to collect all those games just yet to play them, in HD. Not to mention the new ones won't be yellowed, and are going to be less fragile than the 80s ones. If you're a games preservationist like me this kind of thing should make you pretty happy. It's doing exactly that - preserving old and slowly getting harder to find games in a convenient format, readily available for modern day people to take a look at whenever they want. That's great. My only chagrins with this thing are that it doesn't seem to have any way to support more games so what you have is all we're going to get in this fashion, and also no Castlevania 3. Still, I look forward to them hopefully doing a SNES version.

[QUOTE=Viva;50752010]for 60 bucks? Id still rather just hook up my own nes, or just use an emulator. It's a neat collectors thing however.[/QUOTE] i'd rather get 30 NES games in an easy to play format for far cheaper than all of them individually on the damn eShop, than spend $60 on the average triple-A game that usually I get far less mileage out of in the long term after i'm done with it especially if people crack this baby open to more easily put in any other NES games

[QUOTE=LaughingStock;50753415]nintendo falling behind the times again and making no mention of vr support such a shame this would be a neat gift, not something i would purchase for myself.[/QUOTE] i'm more surprised about the lack of 4K textures, really Nintendo????
