Where's the HDMI port?
You have to buy one of their many proprietary video connectors for all types of video.

Don't forget that it's compatible with the Famicom Disk System. I'm sure an FDS is going to look pretty goofy sitting underneath this thing, but I'm willing to make that tradeoff.

Not going to happen, and discussion of that isn't allowed here.

How would it have "every game built in" legally?
Are you going to send them your full collection of every game for the system, and they put it on there for you?

Wait, seriously? On top of the $500? The fuck

When is that coming out?
Yeah, with shipping and extra stuff like their hardcore upscaler and cables like EU SCART/BNC the system is more like $650.
Yes, they are. Bothering with an FDS isn't worth it most of the time, you have to really, really want to own that thing or else it will make you want to pull your hair out. First of all, you're lucky if the one you got actually works, and if it does, getting it to read a disk will take 2 - 3 tries on average.
Also, the motor belt in there will break over time (it will, it's pretty much inevitable) and getting that repaired takes some commitment. Also, they are relatively expensive.
It's really more of an collectors item to show around. Like "Hey guys look at this cool Famicom Disk System I have!" Playing games on it isn't the best of ideas and you will probably be so annoyed when the game actually starts that you don't want to play anymore (exaggerating here but you get the idea).

So it's actually an NES and not emulation? Damn... $500? Maybe if it also did SNES, N64 and Genesis games and had full compatibility with all their games. (I guess I could allow it to not do 32X and SegaCD.)
I have so many NES, SNES, N64 and Genesis games. Sadly my NES is broken, my SNES disappeared and every N64 controller I have is broken. But at least my Genesis might still work. But I want my NES and SNES back.

Of course.
You may want to clean the contacts properly instead of making them rust with your saliva.

This is real hardware, not system on a chip. It would have to be a huge system to fit all that stuff in there.
Just get those systems. You could get every system you've mentioned with RGB video out for under the $500 he's listed.

I'm going to wait to see if it's REALLY superior to XRGB-mini before I consider plunking down that cash. That's kind of crazy.

A real gamer, this one. Makes a complete collection, sells it less than a year later.

Considering the xrgb mini is almost the price of this alone, you can be sure its not.

As expected, Analogue still hasn't posted the video evidence they promised last year would be coming in the 'next few weeks'. They must really struggle in getting the upscaler match their outrageous promises.

This is completely over the top. Almost every point is wrong.
I have had my FDS for over 18 years, used constantly for the entire time, with no belt change and it still works perfectly, so the belt break is not 'inevitable'. I have far less reliability with cartridges than disks, 99.99% of the time the game loads first time without reinsertion, and carts would only be 99%.
They are not expensive, you can buy one easily for under $20 in Japan (e.g. at any Hard-off). Even on eBay you could have a working one delivered worldwide for $50.
It's not for everyone, it's an enthusiast item, but the glorious extra sound channel and many exclusive gems mean it's one of my favourite consoles/attachments ever.

Uhm, I don't have the link to it off hand, but this guy is pretty well known in game collecting circles. If it sells, he's planning to use the funds to put toward buying a new house...and then he's just going to start collecting again.

Always wondered, has anyone ever made a clone FDS compatible with the famicom?
I believe people have hooked the Famicom to computer systems that can load games from their hard drives instead of disks, but I'm not completely clear on the methods.

In an ideal world what I'd want is a unit that could connect up to a real famicom and play my real disks, and also have the facility to dump my real disks into an image onto an onboard memory card or somesuch.
Oh, interesting. Provided you have the hardware, will it still take advantage of the extra audio capabilities for the games that use them?

Theoretically, but the sound emulation is off to the point that FDS games that use the extra channel in music (80% of FDS games) are basically unplayable. Need to keep the real system around for FDS action basically.
