I disagree. Though many in here are excited and will buy one, the real target for this is moms/other relatives who usually maybe don't know what to get their young adult kids. Only some fraction of posters in this thread are going to go out and buy one, but I wouldn't be surprised if a majority of posters in this thread will end up owning one come Christmas time whether they're excited for it or not. That's Nintendo's play here, in my opinion.

In other words, you may be posting in this thread that you don't care, but your mom or some other relative is probably already planning to get it for you.

Bingo. This is not targeted for the hardcore VC/retro-collector hardcore know-it-all enthusiast. This is for EVERYONE ELSE.

 

[Piccoro]

Wow it's tiny!

I would really love to see the back of that box. Besides the HDMI port and the USB? charger port, I wonder if there will be some sort of expansion port

Spoiler

to hopefully add more games through it

.

 

[SonicMegaDrive]

Missing RBI baseball though.

No automatic Home Runs for George Bell this time around.

 

[Rich!]

Original Game Boy that's 100% identical to the original with sharper screen and back light and 30 built-in games. Yes, please.

Spoiler

Yes, I'm aware you can perform this mod yourself easily and get an everdrive for it, but it would still be neat!

Just on the modding side of things, you can actually buy an adapter to put a GBA SP screen into an original gameboy.

Its pretty cool. I think it's out now, if not then imminent.

 

[Beartruck]

I've just realised, there's no Urban Champion.

Wow. Nintendo really have progressed since a few years back.

My first thought. Thought for sure theyd stick that garbage on there.

Yeah, one of the biggest blind spots for many members on this forum are posters not understanding marketing segments.

 

[Raylan]

What the heck is happening? Is this the NX?

Yes, it's the NX. The NX is just a NES Slim/Mini. Nothing more. Welcome to next-gen.

SP101? Or regular SP?

The supply of the former has really dried up.

 

[RMI]

This is really cool. I'll probably pick one up just to mess around with it or to have at my parents' house when i visit over the holidays.

Please don't destroy another of an already-dwindling supply of GBA SPs to make an old Game Boy look cooler.

I imagine we're getting Wii U VC files which come with manuals but as shown in some homebrew threads there's actually an option to correct the picture on Wii U (which is crazy).

Is there? I searched the thread and couldn't find, only on the DS games.

 

[Combichristoffersen]

This is gonna sell more than the Wii U, lol.

Kinda tempted to buy this, although there's too few good third party games and too many meh first party games for me.

 

[Orakio Rob]

Imagine if this thing could load NES roms stored in Amiibos 0_0

 

[RedToad64]

Are these new NES controllers any different than the old ones? Will the old ones work with this?

 

[TunaLover]

Bingo. This is not targeted for the hardcore VC/retro-collector hardcore know-it-all enthusiast. This is for EVERYONE ELSE.

I'm gonna get one because it looks so cute, also the controller is compatible with the Wiimote, so you can use it for your VC games

 

[alf717]

Hope they do a top loader with even more games.

 

[MisterXDTV]

The first console I've ever owned was a Sega Genesis (Mega Drive) so I never had a NES but I played when I was little at a friend's house, but I'm talking about more than 20 years ago.

I'm intrigued by the idea, but i would prefer a SNES version as i was with Sega as a child and I would like to know what I missed as a kid.

How does official emulation compare to Retroarch with Nestopia UE on PC?

 

[witness]

Wow this is great! Day 1!

 

[Azure J]

Hold the fucking phone. A Nintendo sanctioned release that acknowledges Startropics?

:')

Wii emulation was amazing.

Wii U emulation was a bit spotty--mostly due to color issues, not performance.

Yeah, I think it's going to be a great success because "everyone else" will buy it, and half of us "know-it-alls" will buy it for fun too.

Nintendo's 3rd Wii moment

 

[TheCongressman1]

Only thing missing is the ability to use real carts. The mini Genesis is so much nicer in that regard, not an official product but still.

 

[Bjoern the Smexy]

Super Nintendo Classic Mini is next, right?
Because I NEED all those awesome platform games, RPGs and fighting games! ALL OF THEEEEEMMMM!!

 

[Jonneh3003]

Is there? I searched the thread and couldn't find, only on the DS games.

Woops I'm jumbling all my facts today. You're right its just the DS games.

 

[asagami_]

Wow it's tiny!

I can see an appeal of this as a toy. The price is so good as to let it go.

And because I want to do a silly pun:

"Look all that power in the palm of your hand!"

Spoiler

I'm 23 and the NES was my first videogame at the age of 3. I love it so much.

 

[Jasper Avenue]

My kid is going to LOVE this.

 

[wowbaggerBR]

Will be possible to download more games or you'll only get these 30 titles?

 

[KingBroly]

Wii U emulation has lots of issues. Fuzzy images, input lag, etc. The Masterpieces in Smash Bros. look and run better.

 

[ThreePiMatt]

Yep. I got all these Famicom Kunio-kun carts I'd like to play on it, but no-dice.

 

[nordique]

this is so damn cool

completely came out of nowhere

10/10 Nintendo

 

[CosmicQueso]

Yeah, I think it's going to be a great success because "everyone else" will buy it, *and* half of us "know-it-alls" will buy it for fun too.

Nah dude. It needs wifi and eshop logins and upres resolution and wireless controllers and digital audio hookups and different color schemes all for $60 and if I can't download Obscure Game onto upgradeable storage it's a complete failure!

 

[Pinky]

Will be possible to download more games or you'll only get these 30 titles?

Not sure, but highly unlikely. I think they would've mentioned such a feature in the PR.

 

[chadskin]

Probably mentioned already but Computerbase.de got confirmation from Nintendo that games will run at 60Hz in Europe: https://www.computerbase.de/2016-07/nintendo-classic-mini-neuauflage-nes/

 

[Lupin the Third]

This one gets it.

 

[tinfoilhatman]

60$ yea no, I can already play all these games on my phone\PC for free.

 

[Phoenixus]

Thank fuck for that.

 

[MrBigBoy]

Good timing with the announcement. Nintendo is in the media with Pokemon Go, and now with this. Hopefully it sells well so we see other Mini consoles in the future.

 

[BlastProcessing]

Whelp, that's Christmas for my nieces and nephews sorted.

I just wish I could pre order these now and be done with it.

 

[Lupin the Third]

60$ yea no, I can already play all these games on my phonePC for free.

Piracy ahoy!

 

[Deadpool_X]

What if the cart door opens up to reveal an SD card slot where they would allow you to insert expansion packs?

 

[Tempy]

60$ yea no, I can already play all these games on my phonePC for free.

Free? Tell us more

 

[eXistor]

That's awesome and a damn decent selection of games too. Definitely getting one if only for my collection. I actually own most games already, but not all of them NTSC, so this is a step up at least.

 

[Ninja Dom]

Yes!!!

 

[Pathfinder]

Could be a fun stocking stuffer.

 

[Calamari41]

"No Devil World in the original Japanese? I can't see why anybody would give this a second thought, in that case."

 

[broncobuster]

Needed a Super between the Tecmo and Bowl but a fine selection.

 

[Deadstar]

This is awesome. I hope they put out a mini SNES with Final Fantasy 2 and 3.

 

[family_guy]

The pricing shows how much of a rip off the Virtual Console store is.

 

[2+2=5]

What a cute idea! I hope to see more consoles like this one.
I have a question though, are those 30 games the only ones you can play or you can buy other games?
