Too bad it can't play original cartridges, but oh well, it's a nice idea. For 60$ it seems worth buying, even in this limited version

Hopefully it leads to other initiatives.
These old ones should be re-released with 'all' games on it, shouldn't be hard/expensive to make.

Kinda pointless in the age of emulators, especially if you can't even use cartridges. If it had ALL (not literally, but close enough) games ever made it would be worth it. But limited like that, gonna pass and use emulators.

well, i like that you can play it on HDMI on TV. Emu's require PC's, that are a bitch to play on without a really good controller.

[Anubis]

You can use your PC on TV's with HDMI as well, graphics cards support all connections, DVI, HMDI, DisplayPort, you name it. You can use your XboX360 or XBONE controller, there's no real disadvantage anymore. even for console players. Most games are multi platform nowadays.

Serious Dejavu!!!!

Really excited for this, Nintendo are the greatest company for gaming, and I much rather own official legit consoles than emulators

*Drools*

You can use legit consoles from Nintendo already. More games, less restrictions.

That's not the same, and requires having a Wii U.

Plus it's a mini NES! It's cute as hell! F**k you for trying to ruin this

[Anubis]

I am not trying to ruin it, I am trying to inform people that it's already been done, you are basically paying for looks. :x

I am not trying to ruin it, I am trying to inform people that it's already been done, you are basically paying for looks. :x

Lol, how simple minded of you

If I was paying for looks, I wouldn't be able to use it to play games for starters, buying the games legit on Virtual Console for Wii U costs about the same, except if you buy this, you get an actual console, and a NES pad.

I have a Wii U, and NES/SNES/N64 emulator, as well as actual SNES and N64 consoles, i've wanted a NES for a while, this seems awesome, and it's pretty damn cheap

You're trying, but you're failing

[Anubis]

Geez, I couldn't care less what you spend your money on, calm down.

[TheKomodo]

If you don't care, why are you posting? I care, cuz I love Nintendo

Also, why do people always say "calm down" when i'm actually saying things in a positive mood lol, it cracks me up

You said something pretty stupid - "you are basically paying for looks.", I pointed out you were wrong, instead of just saying "ok, fair enough", you resort to implying i'm angry or something lmao, wtf is wrong with people on forums

I think everyone who were fans of retro gaming is fully aware of emulators, also, some people just like collecting stuff, like me

Was just throwing you some banter when I said "F**k you for trying to ruin it ", you weren't supposed to take that seriously

And besides the point, if I wanted to buy something just because it looks good wtf is wrong with that? I bet you wanted to f**k some girl at some point in your life just because she looks good.

It is not a bad offer really. Original NES cartridges are expensive, and if you wanna play NES on original hardware instead emulated one, this is a good offer.

[Anubis]

Whatever Komo,  I was merely pointing out an information that you can already play old NES/N64 etc. on a Nintendo console that has more options and less limitations. Now you want to  make this an argument. I said I don't care what you personally do, but I still care to inform others about the possibility of already existing emulators that are less limiting. Buy/do/say what you want, I don't care about your gibberish.

Btw you are pointing out I am wrong without actually telling me what exactly is wrong with my sentence. Well played. You pay for looks, you even confirmed that yourself. "cute little console". Cute = judging looks.

[TheWalrus]

I already have 2 NES consoles

If you buy this new console, you will miss out entirely on the blowing furiously on the cartridge when it wont work.

[Anubis]

Buying a used NES console is far more worth the money, you can actually play all games if you want to. Most "AAA" games from back then are still dirt cheap because they were produced in masses. For rare games you probably will pay quite a bit more.
