Cheaper to just buy a NES USB controller for like $10 and run an emulator where you'd get access to hundreds of more titles.

not everyone knows how to/wants to bother downloading emulators...the majority just wants a plug and play solution. I mean that's why consoles exist.
Nintendo probably haven't been as successful this decade as it has been this past week or so with Pokémon Go and now this ...hope the NX is competitive.

Saw that this morning on my FB feed. Funny enough, it was Snopes that told me first.
Related / Not Related but surely someone has one of these? 
I still live my nostalgia vicariously through this 
Obviously NES is a whole world above Atari but same concept. I wonder if eventually SNES and N64 will follow. War Gods anyone?

They should have added Contra and Blades of Steel to that list.

NES cart with a SD card for all your roms.

The Retron5 is for people who have a bunch of systems and games but don't have the room or the inputs to hook up 5 systems to there TV.
The Classic mini is for people that are not already into retro gaming but want to relive there childhood or want to show there kids the games they use to play. People will buy these play them for a bit then they will collect dust. I bet you will see a a lot of these on craigslist 6 months after release.
If you are into retro gaming you will already have a NES or if you are a baller a Analogue Nt.
OG Nintendo in a metal case with 4 ports and HDMI out. $499 
In gold for $4999. limited to 10.

the point is nintendo is trying to sell units, and this is going to be a massive success.

4chan retro gaming board is the fucking toilet bowl of people who are all about Emulation VS an actual product, mostly because it's populated by broke fucking kids who dont have the $60 to buy an actual NES anyways.
I have the Retron5 and honestly, it kind of blows. the wireless controller is useless, and there is lag with the OEM plug in controllers when playing your carts. The interface is super clunky and slow, etc. etc.
I only wanted the Retron5 because i have a ton of old carts which i like to play from time to time, and with a wall mounted TV it's pretty much out of the question in hooking up the original consoles all the time when friends come over etc. it's also time consuming.
As well, people always say "omg why would i pay XXX when i could emulate"
Because no one wants to play NES,SNES,Genesis games with a 360 controller through a HTPC or sitting at a computer. people want to play these console games as they had in the past, especially people who arent tech savy etc. They want the original goods, not some slapped together emulation machine.
Thats why i think this will appeal to a hugeeee portion of the population.
Ive recently played through some of the games preloaded on here, and imo they dont really appeal to me that much anymore, many of them like Zelda etc. are super difficult and frustrating lol.. but i think your average consumer is going to have a huge nostalgia factor come in to play, and at the very least go hard with this machine in the run up, and during the xmas season.
Actually bought some shares in nintendo today in anticipation for this release/riding the wave of PokemonGo

I have nothing against emulation, I just think it's hilarious that it's being pointed out here as an alternative to this special official product with 30 games built in.
I emulate myself, I have collected every NES and SNES rom, and play them often [using a Super Famicom replica USB controller]. I have also bought retro games on various consoles and PC, and will likely buy this thing.
Sometimes it's good to support the companies that provide you with the things you enjoy. Don't just take, take, take at every opportunity, looking for every possible way to get something for free. This fucking awesome retro gadget comes out and the first thing people say is how you could just emulate and play the games for free... Fucking | |

I spent a chunk of change getting an android tv box, wireless bluetooth controllers and paid apps to emulate. There is enough input lag to ruin the experience and I've tried every workaround including configuring my tv refresh rate, using different emulation engines, using a wired usb controller instead of bluetooth and various android hacks. For precise platformers like Mario it feels off. What I learned is that all emulators use different techniques to make games run well. Some are closer to the original (need a lot of CPU horsepower) and some take very aggressive tweaks (great on low power devices) to make it work.
Nintendo treats their catalog games with a lot of care.
Just because it's old and you can run it on a cheapo device doesn't devalue it and I think it's great that Nintendo is making cool retro stuff.

Castlevania, Simon's Quest, Ghost n' Goblins, Gradius, Metroid, Ninja Gaiden, Super Mario Bros, Zelda I & II are all super difficult. I'm sure a lot of us have played through and finished all / most of the games, but I vividly remember how super frustrating Castlevania / Simon's Quest are when you need to fxxking jump and land on a platform that is only a single character wide, and then a fxxking bat comes out of nowhere and crash through you just as you are about to land. And then you get knocked back, and obviously dies from falling into the abyss.
With some of these games, I actually never understood how people can finish them.

The save-state feature will be a blessing for folks that struggle with some of those classics.

So it looks like Nintendo planned this as a one-off, and didn't make any plans to further tap into this to allow for more games to be played: Nintendo's Classic NES Is A Closed Nostalgia Loop Quote: |
