Duck Hunt was brought to Wii U VC the other year however, it's a shame this doesn't have Wii Remote support to accommodate it

I wonder how you access the suspend points with the NES controller? Surely they'll have to have an OS button as an easy way to include manuals and save states.

I assume with this system more games can be added later on..and crossing fingers that eventually Duck Hunt will be added..I know its available on the Wii U but its not the same, the original gun was AWESOME I still have it

You'll find you can't use it on modern TVs. Wii U version is the closest we'll get.

The use or 'pre-installed' on that website makes me hopeful.
No connectivity but get enough of these in people's hands and then find a way to sell 2 packs of additional games for $5

Grew up on the NES, will be preordering, then be kicking myself for not waiting for the inevitable famicom version. This is a great way to spend some time with some Nes games i would probably never revisit again.
Can't believe double dragon 2 and super c are on that list, they are really giving us a good reason to pick up a second controller.

I can't help but think they should have used the Famicom console as a basis rather than the NES.
It's small enough already that they probably wouldn't have had to change the proportions and it comes with two controllers that stow away very easily. Looks a lot classier too. Just a thought.

Except nobody in America would have recognized it.

So I just signed up for email alerts on Amazon for when the product is available.
Almost impossible to miss now.

If this thing can connect online, then it would be a great way to lock people into a proprietary storefront. Even if the memory storage of the Mini isn't that expandable and couldn't fit more than 30 games at a time, having an account on their storefront where you can manage what 30 games reside locally on your machine sounds like a fine solution.

They're selling this on nostalgia. And the West doesn't have nostalgia for the Famicom's design.
The NES has a really iconic design that many people in the West, even people who haven't touched a controller in 20 years, will immediately recognize. It's going to sell just based off that alone. No one but us nerds would recognize a Famicom here in the West.

My guess is this thing will be available everywhere
Amazon, Best Buy, Target, Wal-Mart, KOHLS, CVS, Wallgreens, Toys 'R Us...you name it.

The average American or European has zero attachment to the Famicom.
And that's all good as far as I'm concerned.
The Wii U/VC version is a nice alternative, though the Wiimote makes the game much easier and less challenging.Plinko

True story:
Never once has Amazon email alerts worked for me. Not once. I don't even know why they have the option.
I think it would be very cool if they released expansion paks for this. They could be GBA-sized carts that look like NES ones, and you could just swap them into the back of the unit. 10 new games on a card, $10 or something like that. I'm sure we will see this unit sell well, so I wonder if they had the foresight to include a port.

You can turn the cursor off but obviously it's hard to sync the sensor bar 1:1 with your TV displayAnd that's all good as far as I'm concerned.
Yeah I think I got a few after it had been up and sold out lol. Maybe your being sarcastic?

My mom instantly recognized it from the NES my dad had back in the day. In fact, she saw it first and texted it to me. So yeah, exactly.

Will there be anyway for Nintendo to sell or add additional games to the system down the line?
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

Sorry if this has been answered a million times, I've been checking in periodically all day and am still a bit confused:
Is this thing powered by USB?

-What sort of storage does it use?
We arent discussing technical specifications. However, it does not connect to any external storage devices.
-Is this running via an emulator?
We arent discussing technical specifications.
-Will it support a video emulation mode like scan lines or crt emulation?
We will confirm these details later.
-What are its dimensions and weight?
We arent discussing technical specifications, but it is small enough to fit in the palm of your hand.
-Are there plans for coming out with other mini systems like the SNES?
We have nothing to announce at this time.
...great

I wonder what the reason for this is? Isn't the NES Classic Controller just a reskinned Classic Controller, or does it actually differ under-the-hood?

To be fair the interview is simply asking about things the device doesn't do, it will come across as negative but it's nice to know at the very least what it doesn't do. Basically it's exactly what was announced earlier today

Yup a useless Q&A. The only good question was the last one because it made me laugh and brought back many memories.

Still months away and I'm already excited for when this thing eventually gets hacked / jailbroken. Let's see what interesting things people will come up with...

It's weird because presumably you can use just a Classic Controller if you were playing single-player.
Why would Single NES, Single Classic, and NES + Classic work while Classic + Classic wouldn't?
Will they fix SQ so that it makes sense without a FAQ?
Yes.

Yeah you would think Nintendo would benefit from just linking in the Wii U or 3DS's eshop for the system. It could be a NES virtual console machine but alas, we still have a great selection and an amazing looking device.

Damn I'm so pumped. That packaging is just A-M-A-Z-I-N-G.
I'm getting two of these. Knowing Nintendo there will be shortages - and knowing gamers, someone will make me a little cash money.

So little information. They're playing the specs hiding game with this fuckin' thing? Really?

Absolutely shocking news.
+1 for Digital Foundry breakdown on this thing. Also "console" is being used a bit liberally here, no?
