  1. 1. Until 8 years ago I thought the VCS was an primitive, upgraded pong console.

    2. I only like to code for the console. (But I get the upcoming handheld so that will change)

    3. I used my 7800 and Harmony Cartridge mostly for play-testing Stay Frosty 2

  2. Not sure if this is posted here already:

    Will the mini-NES be able to connect to the internet?

    No. The console is a standalone device, so it cannot connect to the internet or any external storage devices. The game lineup was chosen to provide a diverse mix of popular and recognizable NES games that appeal to a wide variety of players. Everyone should be able to find multiple games to enjoy.

    On the same note: does Nintendo plan to sell other NES games for the mini-NES beyond the 30 it comes preloaded with?

    No. The console is a standalone device, so it cannot connect to the internet or any external storage devices. The 30 games included with the system were chosen to provide a wide variety of top-quality, long-lasting game-play experiences.

    Are there plans for other mini-consoles, like a mini-SNES or mini-N64?

    We have nothing to announce at this time.

    Just because people have been asking: safe to say it cant play old cartridges, right? (Based on the image it looks like an NES cartridge would have around the same width as the entire console.) Does it open up at all?

    The console does not use physical media and therefore the Chamber Lid does not open.

  3. I think this device is perfect because:

    - 30 games is enough. If you put 700 games on it, the end user doesn't know which games are good and which not.

    - hdmi is great, video quality will be consistent.

    - Small, so you can easily store it, or bring it with you on holidays.

    - Hassle-free setup (buy > connect > play). You can give this to your kids and they can probably operate it. Less tech-savvy can use this device too (retropie probably some computer-knowledge to setup).

     

    Saying it sucks because it emulates is a bit premature I think.

     

    It would be nice to be able to buy extra games for it though...

  4. I've seen umpteen memes for that episode and Pokemon Go already haha

    I first thought the comparison was incorrect, since the Star Trek device is used for evil stuff, but so far they have in common that they start as a fun game :D
