I hope it is better than the shitshow that was the Sega Genesis one.  oh poo poo I might get this just for that box, and I guess the controller works with VC games on the Wii U??

If the former, I see it becoming very popular as a mod platform, especially if someone manages to figure out how to wire a cartridge slot to the board. Regardless, I'm buying at least 2 of those controllers. Edit: Read the full press release and it mentions suspend points. Emulated.

Nintendo is going to make a fortune on that. It looks pretty good! Great line-up of games with many being unexpected. StarTropics, Super C, Double Dragon 2, Castlevania 1 and Simon's Quest, Kirby's Adventure, Mega Man 2 , Marios and Zelda, Motherfucking Tecmo Bowl....all with save states? That's a hell of a line-up. It's bizarre how two weeks ago Nintendo's financial future looked bleak and uncertain. Now thanks to Pokemon GO / Sun/Moon and this NES they will need dump trucks for all the cash they are gonna rake in during the holidays, and they still haven't said poo poo about the NX, mobile Animal Crossing or FE.

Can you actually play NES cartridges in it or is it just an emulation box/virtual storefront The articles I read don't actually say

It's an emulation box. It's too small for cartridges, even if it did open. Let's hope this kicks rear end so we get a SNES box next year. Given all the third parties in this NES release, as well as the apparent "they get it" approach to the line-up, that would bode well for a murderer's row for SNES. Something like: Earthbound Super Mario World Mario All-Stars Super Mario RPG Yoshi's Island Final Fantasy 3 Zelda: Link to the Past Mega Man X Street Fighter 2 Super Contra Castlevania 4 Sim City F-Zero Pilotwings Donkey Kong Country 1, 2, 3 Star Fox Stunt Race FX Mario Kart Super Punch Out They could charge $99.99 for that and sell it no problem.

How much could licensing the FX chip possibly cost? Just charge a buck more for those games and be done with it.

You just put your portion of the sales in a trust and if anyone comes around claiming it's theres and proves it in court you pay them the trust. It's not uncommon to use old technology or media like this. On the NES mini, I want to know how long the controller cord is. I can see the controller ports are just Wii accessory sockets, so you can plug in the classic controller, but the cord for the classic controller is 1.5, maybe 2 feet long. Hope the included controller cord is at least six feet.

Here is my attempt at 30 games, taking out the FX chip games, and staying away from licensed/M rated titles: Earthbound Super Mario World Mario All-Stars Super Mario RPG Yoshi's Island Final Fantasy 3 Zelda: Link to the Past Mega Man X Street Fighter 2: Turbo Super Contra Castlevania 4 Sim City F-Zero Pilotwings Donkey Kong Country 1, 2, 3 Mario Kart Super Punch Out Super Metroid Chrono Trigger Secret of Mana Kirby Super Star Kirby's Dreamland 3 Kirby's Dream Course Kirby's Avalanche Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts Tetris Attack (switch the name back to Panel de Pon if they need to for licensing reasons) Puzzle Bobble Harvest Moon I would gladly pay $100 for that, although $60 is probably a better mass-market price. Final Fantasy 2 would be another good one to add, but the number of remakes it has on different Nintendo systems, and the number of RPGs already included led me to cut it.

It's priced just high enough where I don't think it's worth it considering I have many of those already on the Virtual Console. The NES controllers are priced perfectly though where I'll want to pick up one to play on my WIi U.

The NES controllers are priced perfectly though where I'll want to pick up one to play on my WIi U. It comes out to $2 per game, so for someone who doesn't already have them on VC it's an amazing deal. The fact that there isn't a bad game in the bunch just sweetens the deal further. If this does gangbusters then I foresee rereleases with different selections of games.
