well this is pretty damn cute baddood;
i have literally zero reason for one with my actual consoles and virtual console but shit i kinda want one
the controller is pretty sick too since it could plug into a wiimote to control VC nes games
hnnng
yeah its cute, but NES emulation has been great for decades sooooo don't really care that much
it'd be more tempting if it came with like a VC voucher or something, but of course, nintendo
I just think they should've included a cart slot and original controller ports to compete with the retrons
A missed opportunity.
On the other hand, I'll buy that controller for my VC as it will only cost $10
oh yeah the controller is hella dope tho i'll probably get one
now i would be interested in a SNES version of this for sure. i'm more into SNES than NES tho so i'm BIAASSEEDD
best thing nintendo has done in 20 years
and even so it was done better 15 years ago, competent nes/snes emulation has been possible on any device with a screen for nearly as long as i've been alive
and is this a tacit admission by nintendo that its best years are decades behind it
the only companies known to release these sorts of practically pointless but nostalgia-invoking flashback devices are other washed-up has-beens like these guys: http://www.atgames.us/Retro-Console_c4.htm
honestly this seems really un-nintendo-like, they probably whipped this up in the last week just so that they'd have something on the market for christmas, and i guess low-effort appeals to nostalgia have always been cheap and effective as a strategy for nintendo lol
the controller's neat though i'll give it that
i wonder how absurd the pricing will be for this thing

i'd also like to nominate this one for 'most tec post'
will be stoked if i can buy a standalone controller
also someone on reddit brought up the point that it's called:
"Nintendo Classic Mini: NES"
meaning that
"Nintendo Classic Mini: SNES" and maybe even n64 are totally possible
this is mostly cool so i can have a legit snes vc controller (not a fan of classic controller sadly)
Stand-alone controllers will be available.
$9.99
I'll get one for VC

this
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atari_Flashback don't forget about this lol
tech affectionados in their mid 20s aren't the target audience for a device targeted at nostalgic tech-deficiant 40-somethings, weeeeeirrrrrdd
Well it beats the shit out of those other plug into the tv games grandmas and aunts buy
idk i kinda want this for the living room and people can play and i won't be upset if it gets fucked up
http://www.nintendo.com/nes-classic/?did_you_all_forget
still wanna get that controller lol
Me too. That's all I want actually

you're better off buying a shitty retron 1 for $30 and buying the carts tbh 5thgrade;
how is that better off lol like from a collectors standpoint sure, but you're going to spend well over $100 to even get half the games on the mini-NES in cart form
i'd be shocked if it wasn't solid tbh, nintendo does some stupid shit but cutting corners on hardware durability hasn't really been one of them
