Could that be considered a compliment?

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

I want to see some games. That's all I care about. Hardware is nice but won't do it on its own.

If they made gamecube specs hardware with a Super Mario Sunshine Sequel, I would already be a buyer.

My XRGB-Mini has never disappointed me. Here's a discussion about it with the VCS:

In what way is it better than connecting the VCS directly to your tv?

'SEGA 3D Classics Collection' Cool!

No, you and Mike are the only ones who see your comment. Everyone else doesn't see it.

July 25, 2016

Mike cherry picks the 5 positive comments...

Does it include the ribbon cable and the faux credit card?

July 22, 2016

Yes, I reserved some space for that.

Another attempt...

Believe me, I wanted a portable Genesis as much as the next guy, but the audio issues were horrible.

I thought you guys were overreacting, until I did some 'research'... Somehow they have managed to get the frequency, instruments and volume wrong.

Street Fighter is a PC-Engine game (not turbgrafx). Did you buy a pc-engine gt instead? (They look the same).

July 18, 2016

I just found a picture of the prototype

July 16, 2016

I think it would be a weird move if they incorporate an SD card reader (and opening the thing for piracy), while their business is selling games.

July 16, 2016

It does make sense just to make a new version with more/different games. Especially since you can buy the controllers separately.

Final proof of Nintendo not 'saving' the videogame industry after the crash. You can't have a videogame crash without videogames.

July 15, 2016

It looks like whoever makes the Analogue Nt has figured out how to do it right; albeit at a somewhat excessive price.

That's atariage user 'kevtris', who is also working on the 'Zimba 3000'

July 15, 2016

Yes. ATGames will need to get a move-on to stay relevant against the big N!

At the same time, N stole the idea of a flashback? Yes?

Not sure, can the iQue be considered a flashback? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IQue_Player

Not sure if this is posted here already:

http://kotaku.com/the-mini-nes-wont-open-cant-connect-to-the-internet-1783693116

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.

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...

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

July 14, 2016

One app to manipulate a general population of humans. Most impressive. Its all Sci-Fi twilight zone shit.

Or Star Trek...

I think it's unique due to the really low resolution.

Since it has some games the amiga has (apb, lemmings, sotb to name a few), 4096 color palette, pcm capable sound (klax), and made by ex-amiga people (RJ Mical, Dave Needle), I always thought of it as a little amiga .
