Very interested to see the emulation quality in comparison to the VC.

If this is some kind of Wii hardware then they already did.

Kimishima's Nintendo, Ladies and Gentlemen!
As much as I love his work, respect his business philosophy and contributions to the industry, and miss him, Iwata would NEVER allow this to happen. A plug and play Nintendo, Who'da thunk it! The question is will there be a JP Famicom equivalent that may include exclusive JP and disk system game versions and Famicom styled classic controllers (BRILLIANT to use the Classic Controller sockets and plugs!)?

Day 1.
I'll buy this and the inevitable SNES Mini.

I'm not surprised but am still a bit disappointed that it doesn't take Carts. I have a Ducktales cart sitting in my wardrobe and no way to play it.
It's the same port the Wii Remote has on the bottom of it for Classic Controllers/nunchucks/etc. It's so you can use the NES controller on your Wii and Wii U for VC games

Or if you want to play Smash Bros REALLY poorly.

Hey Nintendo!,
Don't forget to make a SNES one too!!!
I have to preorder this.

You will need a Wiimote to middleman it, unless there's a USB adapter I'm not aware of.

Appears to be marketed directly at me. I'll buy two.
Nintendo Entertainment System X with F-Zero NX, 1080NX, Wave Race NX and Excite Bike/Truck NX as pack-ins.
Radical.
Definitely not since save states are a feature.
I sort of doubt Wii hardware too tbh, I'm expecting something cheaper and off the shelf. Maybe just a cheap ARM chip or something.

Didn't think I needed a product like this. I now find myself corrected.

The primary problem with VC pricing is that all the games on the same platform combination are priced the same base price with occasional premium cut for problematic/import titles.
I can absolutely see an argument for Super Mario Bros. 3 being worth 6 today. I can absolutely not see an argument for Duck Hunt or Donkey Kong being worth 6 today. This has nothing to do with carts being available for cheap, it's just some game games have aged better than others (and have launched as better than others).
Now with, say, typical on-Steam publisher this would not be a problem since they would cut the prices as sales slow down. Nintendo is a company that basically doesn't do this, especially with VC.
This has nothing to do with this hardware whatsoever. Since it looks like it's a once done deal I'm not interested. I would buy this bundle on eShop though.
Speak for yourself, but that works out at £1.66 per game. They'd cost 3x that on the VC.
Good point. I'll hold off on preordering so I can get the Famicom version with Fire Emblem 1/Gaiden on it <3 (got them both on VC already though)

No Flintstones: The Rescue of Dino and Hoppy? For shame, Nintendo.
Now how will newer generations discover the origins of 7 GRAND DAD?

It probably doesn't have any network connectivity hardware, making it impossible to download further games. That was the case with the Wii Mini.

Damn for $60, what exactly do I stand to lose? Absolutely nothing besides countless hours of sweet, bubbly, warm Nintendo goodness.
I'm in.

They ported the Western NES version, which used the stock NES sound chips. So the sound is pretty exact to the Western NES version. It's the JP version that included the special sound chips.

This is pretty shrewd of them. You know how the Wii U doesn't have a lot of VC games, probably because VC was only licensed to appear on Wii hardware/OS and companies never got back on board? I bet this is simply Wii hardware rebranded, and it's just a VC bundle that third parties have no power to interfere with. That's why there are so many good third party games there like Final Fantasy.
Also by branding it as a classic NES instead of something Wii-related, they skipped the bad press on that. "Ugh, did we really need an even more limited Wii Mini?"
One thing that interests me is that it's HDMI, but AFAIK the Wii never supported HDMI. So they've done some modification.

I had a thought that Nintendo was going to build on the 'new' line started with the 3ds and call the NX 'new' NES with the same branding logo.

Low price and Wii/Wii U controller compatibility is insta buy for me.
Huh...
That's a good point.
I'm still waiting for the day power through HDMI becomes a real thing (yes I know it's already part of the specs but no one actually uses it yet).

I guess a 3DS chipset or something could be running it.

Holy shit this is awesome, I'll definitely be picking one up.

If this is a success an Snes one is definitely going to happen. But they probably will make a part 2 and 3 to this before that happens. Cheaper to use the same hardware and just sell it with different games.
Nice way to have something for holiday before NX.

An official Famiclone. Never thought I'd see the day. Here's hoping the emulation quality is spot-on.

Very cool selection of games and price. Is is going to be limited or can I wait until christmas? Thank god I didn't bother to buy Virtual Console games on WiiU.

They done with the Wii branding period my guy. Get rid of that thought.
Theirs would probably come with Mother too.

The only 2 games I don't have from this would almost equal the entire cost of this thing.

As exciting as this is, the real question is if they're all going to have the nasty black filter that plagues the Wii/Wii U VC releases. NES games look pitch-perfect on 3DS, however.
Count me in, regardless.

2DS hardware would be enough for NES emulation.

This is Nintendo. Where supply constrained is practically their company slogan. What do you think?

Not 3DS exactly (no real use for the Pica200) but similar would be possible. Then they wouldn't have to rewrite their NES emulator either.

And here I thought it was large sums of cash.
