    Re: NES Classic Edition

    This will be the first Nintendo product I will have played since the original came out really smart move by them. 30 games seems small, I see them releasing a 100+ game version in the future. Smart all around.

      Would Tecmo Bowl have the original players in it?

        Any way for them to let you buy more games for it or no? Guessing we're locked into those 30 games
        I feel like I saw something similar for the Genesis that included a cartridge slot. Hopefully they do the same thing.

        Not likely as there would be licensing issues. The one that I got from the online Wii store way back just used numbers. Though most of them seem to play pretty similarly to the original.

        I might need to start dropping some hints on this one...

          Would've been even more amazing had they included these classics... #Childhood

            Nintendo confirmed there will be no other games for this than the 30, it has no internet or storage.

            Personally I just say buy a Raspberry Pi 3, throw RetroPie on it, get all the old consoles (up to PS1/N64 era) plus arcade, DOS.

              Never heard of this before. What will this cost me?

                Yeah...

                Excitebike, Bases Loaded, Ducktales..

                A lot of my favorite NES games from childhood are missing, but it still seems like a pretty good value. I have a USB NES controller and other means, but I'll probably get it, if for nothing more than adding to the future man cave. I beat Super Mario Bros. 3 again just last month.

                  Since its release, the $35 Raspberry Pi mini-computer has been hailed as the perfect all-in-one retro game console. Now, it’s easier to do than ever,


                  $35 Raspberry PI 3
                  $_8 Case
                  $_5 SD card (16GB, quite a bit for just NES/16 Bit carts)
                  $10(or less) Power Supply (Most phone chargers will work for power as well, so you may already have a working power supply)
                  $10(or less) USB SNES and Genesis controllers, can also use old 360/PS3 controllers, or even wireless DS4. Could also pay more for bluetooth retro controllers.

                    This does look cool, but my Ouya already emulates all of these games perfectly on my TV, as well as Atari 2600, Colecovision, SNES and Genesis games. Hell, it even does a decent job with N64 and NeoGeo games. I might pick this up when I can find it on the cheap though, similar retro boxes sell for $20 or less at the local swap meet.

                    Also, no cartridge port kills it for me (I collect NES carts).

                        Yeah, I'm surprised at how many nerd friends on Facebook are going nuts over this, who are plenty capable of just building a Pi setup or something for less than this.

                        Really want to get a MAME arcade kit at some point too.

                          It looks like a Nintendo (major plus), with the controllers to boot and enough games that I find worth it. It's the nostalgia package as a whole that makes it a purchase. Of course anyone could go the Rom route but that's not really the target audience this is for.

                          It doesn't really seem that incomprehensible why this would cause so much excitement.

                          Hell, I might buy two. One for the man cave and one for the living room.

                              Yeah. I can run the ROMS but this has the look of a legit console that I want. I'm super excited.

                                I was a bit on the fence since I have all those games ROM'd but having a mini Nintendo on my desk just makes me smile.
