I'm sure they can put more games in there, but people will buy it to look retro all of the sudden. lol. (Talking about the youngn's.) |

One report I read suggested it might have compatibility with Virtual Console as well, so I guess you'll be able to get games from there as well. | ||

Consider that NES games on the virtual console are typically $5 each. You're getting a really good deal for "just" 30 games. | ||

IDW Posts A Freaking LOT Member Group: Advanced Members Posts: 28,412 Member No.: 1,414 Joined: Mar 9th 2004 Location: Update Profile | It's pretty cheap, but it would have been nice to be able to make use of Virtual Console to download more NES games, but I guess it's better than nothing. |

More NEGATIVE than a black hole Group: ADMINISTRATOR Posts: 19,345 Member No.: 12,263 Joined: Sep 12th 2005 Location: Update Profile | If it had access to that, they would have to set up controller support for the other consoles, unless they wanted it to be locked to the NES library alone. Here's to hoping they rectify that with a Mini SNES. Super Metroid, please! I think people are looking at this thinking it's some sort of fresh Nintendo console for the hardcore market, when it's nowhere near that. They're trying to tap into the casual market of "all in one" retro boxes that can play their software by releasing an official version straight from the big N. ONE GLARING OMISSION HERE: DOUBLE DRAGON. Whaaaaat? |

I wish they had RBI Baseball, my favourite game from the old NES. I wonder how sharp the graphics will since the mini-NES has HDMI. | ||

Group: Advanced Members Posts: 1,500 Member No.: 36,931 Joined: Jan 25th 2011 Location: Update Profile | I would rather want a Nintendo console where you can play all Satellaview games including all their alternative versions and additional contents that were never rereleased again (like BS Zelda). |
