**edit** Quote: |
Note that an AC adapter for the USB cable is required to play the system but is not included in the packaging.
| Why the fuck would you not include a necessary cable, you scumbag nintendo

And no, it's smaller than your cartridges. Of course it won't play them  | |

Read somewhere that it was going to retail for $80 in Canada.
As much as I'd love to relive my younger years, I have a feeling that I'd just buy it for nostalgia and never touch it. So I'll pass. Price isn't that great either, unless you really wanted all the games they have to offer.

Will it still require blowing air into the cartridge repeatedly, until blue in the face, to get it to work?

You could built a retropie system for a bit more and be able to play way more systems/games.

Personally, I would expect Nintendo to have a follow up plan ready, and allow the device to play some additional games stored on some sort of external storage. The most obvious method would be to use the thing's built-in USB port to support some sort dock / external storage. From that point onwards, anything is possible.
But in that case, they should have made the NES mini like this: | |
