For fucks sake, Nintendo. I'm all for interesting nick nacks, but this is just silly.

I wonder how much the controllers are because if I get the Nes that may stay in the box. The controllers I can still use with the Wii and WiiU Hopefully.

 

[Johnny Novgorod]

Let me guess, they're gonna make 30 of them.

 

[Leg End]

And it comes with 30 games! And Euros don't get a power brick! And it plays none of the original carts and no plans for expandability!

Are you HYPE?

Also you can buy the controllers on their own and you can use it with a Wii or Wii U, and you can use the Classic/Classic Pro controller with it as well. Connects through HDMI and it sounds like it's powered via Micro-USB.

I've got freaking two NESes in my house as well as my Dad's old collection of NES games. I'm good thanks.

Apart from only being mildly hype for it, you goddamn ninja'd me!

....well that was unexpected.

*YAAAWWWNNNN*

Get back to me when its a baby SNES with a true FF6 and Donkey Kong Country.

 

[Maximum Bert]

I dont know if I will get it but some of those games are absolute classics that I still play to this day especially the Mario games, Punchout and Bubble frikin Bobble (love that game).

If the other controller is cheap enough I may get it so I can easily take it round friends houses to play Bubble Bobble and Double Dragon like we did in ye olden days.

Unless the article on the Escapist is wrong, there is no online connectivity at all for this console, so unfortunately you can't get any of your VC games.

yeah, i misreaded what was written. The classic controller that come with it is compatible with all the virtual console game, not the box itself. so you can use the controller that come with it to play VC games on your wii and wiiu...

Are you able to add a poll? I wonder if people would prefer they do this with an SNES collection or N64 (Gamecube likely impractical). I'm thinking the SNES would not be much more difficult or expensive but there was a notable improvement over NES.

 

[Gorrath]

I am distinctly not hype. While it's cute and all, the lack of expandability makes it an expensive, limited emulator. Outside of it sitting on a shelf looking neat, I don't see the point.

A reskinned Raspberry Pi with an ergonomical nightmare of a controller, and that for 60 bucks? No thank you.
