Jeremy Parish seems pretty locked into the idea that this is a Wii and there may be some kind of wireless support, but I have yet to see any evidence there. Nintendo was very firm with IGN that there's no wireless, no store, no expansion. Which means if it's a big success expect NES Classic 2 in a seperate box in November of 2017, and that it's verrrry likely to just be an emubox. I guess 3DS internals are possible but given how Nintendo sources parts based on the minspec they need I wouldn't be surprised if it's a new board with relatively old chips. ARM stuff good enough to do the emulation and a simple menu and that's it. (I guess we won't know either way until we see it working on an unboxing or demo)
Depends on how long the cable is for the included NES controller (AFAIK that hasn't been revealed, and the boxart is purposefully vague) If you use non NES controllers then yeah, expect to have to sit pretty close, enough so that it might be better suited plugged into a PC monitor.

Can I put my cartridges in it?
Better yet, can I put the NES Mini in the cartridge slot of the regular console?

Oh man this is a fantastic commercial. I need to preorder this thing ASAP.
I want to say I had around 35-40 games total for the NES and I felt my collection was beyond abundant and varied, so I'm perfectly happy with the 30-count for the Mini. That and the selection of titles is very good as well.

Love it!
Trailer is up, so Pre Order when?

Can we get a better look at the cord length?

When it is, there will be 100 posts in this thread letting you know.

I'm glad the pre-orders aren't up yet. I don't have the money do buy a pair of them yet and I'm already worried that if you don't get in the first run, getting one by xmas will be a huge chore

Amazon and GS don't charge you until they ship the order.

I hadn't checked in a few days. I was hoping for better news, but I will wait for the wall of posts then.

You can just barely see that it's actually coiled up behind the controller, so I don't think it's that short: the wire looks a little narrower though.

I would hope they are aware enough to make the cord ample length due to the small size of the device, and how easily it would be pulled off something.

Absolutley killer of them to bring back the Playing With Power tag line. Hope to see some impressions from SDCC.

Game Changer! Thanks for that head's up, I had forgotten.

An N64 version isn't viable without RARE games imo.
Where can you preorder it in the US? Who thought it would be hard to preorder anything video game related these days.

If they were planning on doing an NES Classic 2 I think they would have held back some of their big guns. The fact that this includes all 3 Marios, both Zeldas and Metroid makes it feel pretty complete and comprehensive on their end.

IGN hands-on with the unit itself (not the games, unfortunately)
That thing is small. The cord is a bit shorter than I'd like, but I'll live.

Did it sell out that fast or has it not gone up yet?

EDIT: nvm, it seems that Amazon put up a product page but hasn't included the pre-order just yet.

Unlikely. According to the US Gamer article, there are no card slots and no internet connectivity. It's a closed box for the Urban Outfitters crowd. (Or "idiot proof" as Chris Kohler called it.)

The commercial made me flashback to my childhood.
Damn good times. Wake up and watch cartoons like He-Man then go play some Super Mario Bros.

Cord is really short, that's unfortunate.

The "dark filter" is Nintendo's attempt at curbing any epilepsy issues. Expect it in the final product.

Although this may very well be true, you're speculating. This has never been confirmed by the company.
The dark filter wasn't in NES Remix, so it's not guaranteed to be there in this proudct.

Hopefully it comes with a longer controller cord in the final product.
Source?
Why would they apply such a function to their retro product, but not to all of their products, across the board?
Yeah, that's like... goes on your coffee table short.
Still doesn't make me not want one though.
Maybe because newer games take epilepsy into consideration when developing them? I'm just guessing, I don't know anything.

That better not be the final cord length. That won't work in most modern living rooms.

Yeah, I think people are reaching without a source on this.
They do not even have it in other emulated generations... and game makers put this disclaimer in manuals and splash screens.
It still utterly shocks me that after so many years of this being the case, people STILL don't realize this (I am mainly speaking to Amazon here.) Free to preorder is fucking awesome. That's why I preorder everything that I might just possibly want and set a reminder to cancel just in case.

Well, that's decided it for me. Not getting it now. That cord is probably a third of what I'd need in length.
Shame. Such a small thing overlooked.
Agreed, way too short.
It's almost as if the controller was only really designed to be used with the Wii remote through the VC.
Fortunately, I've already decided I am not going to get the classic, as this is going to be once and done thing, no more games.
But for those who get it, maybe there will be an extension cord released at some point. If not from Nintendo, but a 3rd party.
You need 21 ft of cable?
Also I'm sure there will be 3rd party extensions in the near future
Edit, cable looks to be about 3. Thought I saw 7 ft posted. My bad

I will buy this although I really just want to play 3 or 4 of those games but I really want to help showing Nintendo that there is a demand for this kind of product and hopefully this will lead us to a SNES mini which I'm really interested in.

You guys are noting how small it is, but I didn't realize the NES was so BIG.
I guess time will do that to you.

^^^ NES is much larger than Famicom to appeal to Americans who thought small consoles like Famicom and PC Engine had to be weak in the power department. See also TG-16. Giant cartridges and toaster design were just an excuse to waste space and material.
More importantly, profit proof and hack proof. If the game roms are on masked ROM, and there's no networking, there's no point in trying to hack this thing.
Except they haven't been consistent in how they implement it on Wii U and 3DS. Some of their emulators have it and some don't.
Stripped down 2DS hardware makes way more sense than Wii, it's got a single ARM9 and is pretty much the minimum spec to do this well. Also the emulator is already written, just need to enhance for multiple save states.
