I would probably buy an SNES one even though it would be like my 4th time buying the games

At least you can buy this and when the NX comes out you won't have to re-buy all your NES games.

Kimishima moves in mysterious ways. A rather surprising move for Nintendo; Sega's been doing that sort of thing for more than a decade, but they are always bleeding for money. I wonder if the emulation is any good.

jivjov posted:I wouldn't be surprised if it's the same software under the hood as the existing virtual console stuff That would only make sense if that thing had the innards of a 2DS, which isn't exactly impossible now that I think about it. They seem to have made all their VC emulators run only on a specific architecture with the caveat that they have had to recode the whole thing every time there was a new console (3DS, Wii, Wii U) from what I heard.

Wouldn't it be more likely to have the innards of a Wii?

I wonder if the controller has a quality build. I nearly bought a 8Bitdo NES controller once and now I'm thinking how they compare. That one could be used for Wii VC stuff too, IIRC.

I suspect it's more than just putting a 3DS board to run a NES. This might even be original hardware dedicated in running NES software in today's environment.

The real question is what kind of hacks we can implement with this. Having a real Nintendo-licensed emulation machine that you can load all your NES/FC roms in would be pretty great. e: lol Contra isn't in it, but Super C is. What the heck is up with Contra?

This is great, I actually haven't bought many VC games on the U and this would be a much cheaper option for me.

I thought I saw those distinctive controller ports somewhere, and then I remembered: It's the Wii remote port. You can connect the NES controller to the Wiimote for usage in Wii (U) VC games. Clever.

Yeah, it says the NES Classic controller works on Wii/U and vice-versa.

Nobody may have the answer yet, but is there a discounted price for upgrading the Wii version of R-Type to the Wii U version? And did they fix the resolution weirdness with TG-16 games on the Wii U?

They got the console down to a really cheap iteration with the Wii Mini in Canada, plus it has most ( if not all) those games on the WiiVC. The real blindingly-obvious clue is the controller sockets are Wiimote ones. Compatible with Wii Classic Controllers, no less.

NES thingie looks fun but holy poo poo would I spring for an SNES version with 30 games, would much rather have that, would probably sell like crazy, especially if they finally hashed out the Super FX poo poo and got the same permissions from Squeenix/Capcom to put poo poo like Chrono Trigger and Mega Man X in.

And did they fix the resolution weirdness with TG-16 games on the Wii U? They did have an upgrade discount in Japan but it was not nearly as generous as the other platforms. I don't know if they're doing it overseas or how much it'll be. I don't think the weird upscaling is present on Wii U but I honestly can't remember.

I'm probably going to get one of those NES's, but I'd definitely jump on a SNES version.

If I was only going to get one, Wii U Hyrule Warriors or New 3DS Hyrule Warriors? Including all the DLC that's come out, is there roughly the same amount of content on both, or does the newer 3DS version have more characters/etc?

3DS has more characters and scenarios, more weapons and items, and better balance. Wii U looks better, runs faster, and has co-op play.

New 3DS version has: worse graphics (duh) a more consistant framerate slightly lower enemy density (but still enough to feel good) no co-op, but the ability to give orders to and swap between generals on the field during missions fairy raising and dress-up all of the WiiU DLC baked in a season pass that gives you new adventure maps on top of new characters and weapons WiiU version has: better graphics, including animations/effects that are missing from Legends (i.e. boss weak point attack animations, the Summon Gate summons actual creatures instead of translucent shapes) a framerate that is generally higher, but occasionally dips lower co-op two season passes (a WiiU one that puts it on content parity with Legends, and a second one that gives you the new characters/weapons/costumes in the Legends season pass, but not the maps) Unless you're super attached to playing the game on a big screen or to co-op, buy Legends.

I know this is an obvious point, but if you got those same 30 NES games on the VC, they'd be $150 rather than $60.

I don't really need the Mini NES but I'm definitely in for that controller. Really glad they're gonna sell those separately.

The weirdest part about the NES Classic is the fact Final Fantasy is in there, but it not on the NA WiiU VC at all yet.

As far as I can tell there's no expansion slot for some sort of neo-game-pak functionality, which is kind of odd. Seems like it could make even more money if they sold additional games for it.

SelenicMartian posted:China has been making those for decades. EU only; you'll note that it's only in the NoE press release. This has been going on for a while, removing chargers from electronics packaging that is. The idea is since nowadays everything uses mostly the same chargers anyway, why would you waste materials making useless redundant ones? Of course, there's no noticeable decrease in price compared to other regions, but hopefully some plastic is saved to make something maybe a bit more useful. I'm completely OK with it, I would have thrown those chargers into some corner of a closet anyway, to be never used. If you really need one they aren't very expensive.

I think this new NES thing is a cute novelty item meant for people to stuff in stockings at Christmas, and it should serve that function pretty well. It'll probably find a nice niche with older folks who haven't kept up with modern consoles but are looking for a little nostalgia. For me the big "if" is, how will the games look? NES games on Wii U Virtual Console are not displayed well at all, and if this device uses the same scaling algorithm as that does, no thanks. It'd be nice if this thing could connect to the eShop and sync with your existing NES VC collection, and also I'd like to ride on a majestic pegasus.

Most of the challenge is in clearing Pro Skater style challenges and chaining tricks for a high score. E: Also IIRC getting it on WiiU or 3DS lets you download it on the other system for free if you have the same NNID on both systems.

I really like the thought of a Virtual Console console, but it seems unlikely that they'll open that thing up to downloads and other systems' Virtual Consoles the way it really ought to be.
