[@OlDirtyChinesRestaurant]

an SNES version would... omg PLEASSE

[@FlintG]

Yes! Also would love to have a n64 version. Just imagine having super mario 64 and Mario kart 64 in hd!

[@zachiglesias439]

Yes I need A Link To The Past!

[@BanjoKazooietheNintendofan]

NES Mini-GC Mini, fuck the Wii. But not the Wii U :)

[@Justin-Hill-1987]

Me, too! I think the inclusion of Super Mario All-Stars, Super Mario World, and Yoshi's Island, as well as Kirby's Superstar, EarthBound, F-Zero, Super Metroid, Super Mario RPG and Star Fox in addition to Zelda 3 would be great!

[@BanjoKazooietheNintendofan]

Justin Hill Great list!

[@oh-totoro]

I hope that this is really popular and sells well... so that we have a chance of getting a Snes Classic as well!

[@markplott4820]

its on track to out sell the WiiU.

[@fenderstratocaster92]

I totally agree! For people who aren't hardcore collectors both of those would be great. May be even an N64 if the game quality is right. I have an original SNES and don't get me wrong it's beautiful but there are so many issues

[@fenderstratocaster92]

+GeekYoshi nice man😊

[@fenderstratocaster92]

+GeekYoshi you going to get this?

[@oh-totoro]

Just pre-ordered mine from Nintendo Store :D *starts counting down the days until November*

[@steved8193]

They would've sold millions but they didn't release millions.

[@JohnSegerclucka]

The only time I've ever seen them is when they're priced at $150 to $200 online. It's ridiculous

[@sweetfeathery]

Nintendo better be able to keep this in stock during the holiday season, as it could very well be one of the most sought after gifts to find.

[@euphoria_7477]

They most likely won't. Pre-order while/when you can.

[@latenightwithhated1020]

I'm betting on shortages and Black Friday fights over these. Sad.

[@sangan3202]

i just hope this doenst end like amiibos with the scalpers

[@ashfury]

+Daniel Requena Everything ends up scalpers

[@jd-py5nm]

i don't think it will at least certainly not in the long run because they will re release just like with the amiibos

[@bradley5202]

Best part was the ending. I would love Nintendo to make one for the GBA, SNES, and N64.

[@zachiglesias439]

SNES & N64 yes. GBA no.

[@kingsamm4050]

+Zach “ZachIglesias99” Iglesias n64 is dog shit

[@vespasianflavius2766]

i kind of agree but the zelda and mario games are good.

[@millieman76]

GBA is not as expensive. But would be neat to see a mix of GB/GBA As long as its mainly the first party games

[@svenvaltik5657]

N64 carts aren't easily emulated...

[@rojoshow13]

I am 100% going to buy this for me and my kids who are 6 & 7. I was born in 1980 and I was an only child with a single mother so I had video games my whole life. Atari, NES, Genesis, SNES, PS1, etc. For years now I've wanted to play a lot of these NES games and my only option was buying a Wii/WiiU and I just can't afford to go that route. I briefly looked into buying an original NES but that's an even more expensive option and then I'd have the headache of possible technical issues with old systems. I just can't wait to finally be able to share these games with my boys. They know of a lot of them but only from The Wizard and KZbin. I still remember all the little secrets in SMB3 even after all these years. And I was the only kid in my school who beat Punch Out. And I never got into Zelda or Metroid so those will be new to me too. And maybe now that I'm grown up I'll be able to finally figure out how to beat Mega Man and Castlevania.

[@chuckobscure]

You could beat Punch Out but not Mega Man 2? XD

[@ahums16]

Awesome to hear!! :) I can only imagine the excitement in sharing such things with your children. If I ever do have any, they will be very well-acquainted indeed with my Nintendo 64, hahaha! I'm sure you have, but have you heard of emulators? You can play NES games on a computer! (And just about any device nowadays, though a smartphone isn't recommended due touch screen controls not being all that handy.)

[@rojoshow13]

+ahums16 Yeah, I don't currently own a computer and there's something about a controller that I just like better anyway.

[@ahums16]

rojoshow13 Ah, sorry about that. I agree entirely, I'd LOVE for them to come out with a USB adapter specifically for this NES gamepad (some people or small companies or something have made them for many consoles, so you can use original controllers for emulation and stuff). Unless it's for real nostalgia or something, usually a game can't maintain my attention long on an emulator, and I think it's simply because I'm using a keyboard.

[@rojoshow13]

+chuckobscure Yeah, I owned Punch Out and it took me a really long time, and many many failures but I finally figured every guy out. And I never owned any of the Mega Man games...I rented it all the time and I could never beat it over a weekend. Pretty much any game I owned ie SMB3, I beat. And the ones I never owned but rented ie Castlevania, Mega Man, close many times but no cigar.

[@storino03]

Pat exactly. My coworker brought the NES Mini to me before I had a chance to say it. This being what they probably played a few times when they were little, sparked some nostalgia and then the whole world is enthralled for this console.

[@veryloweffortmemes]

and they were scalped....

[@TofranBohk]

AN SNES VERSION!!! That would be awesome!

[@RetroGUY77]

It's taken me this time to realise that you are saying SNES as S.N.E.S which is why you put 'An'. It the UK we all pronounced it as it looks... snes

[@slimp6532]

That would be hot.

[@TofranBohk]

Mini Mort 2 I'll allow that, simply because you're in another country. I will not stand for it here though. "Ess En Ee Ess", "Super Nintendo", and "Super En Ee Ess" are acceptable, but not "sness". My pronunciation and opinions are law! ;-)

[@jimijamesmarshall2328]

I agree! Every time I hear someone say 'sness' I say 'bless you' and offer them a tissue.

[@Celicagame13]

If they did a snes version I'd get it

[@cannonballkid]

I bet if this is popular we may see a SNES version, that would be cool.

[@millieman76]

If this reaches success, we might see it

[@ip3onmyspace158]

I'd rather see an upgraded version of the NES mini with a cartridge slot before we see a SNES version with only built-in games again. Either way hopefully the product is successful so they keep making consoles like this in the future.

[@GadGades]

they could combine it with an amiibo type idea. THey did it with flash cards before either. It doesn't have to be a cart. Just some storage and something that gives you the game. But I don't think that's how these things work. It's a one time purchase type thing.

[@dart2527]

i dunno. you could easily pick up an actual snes for 50$, nintendo will probably sell it for 80$

[@fenderstratocaster92]

Great update pat and Ian thank you for this video. Definitely going to buy one of these especially after this video

[@eduardovelazquez6013]

was waiting for pat to talk about this for days!

[@browsertab]

If there was an N64 version, it would go gangbusters.

[@BanjoKazooietheNintendofan]

But it NEEDS to have Rare games!

[@browsertab]

I, the Nintendo fan That's true. What a shame.

[@BanjoKazooietheNintendofan]

thejobloshow Hopefully if it ever comes to life, Nintendo and Microsoft can make a good deal about it.

[@escoofimpakt]

the only thing is if they made a N64 version it would probably only have 2-3 games from Rare just because it's a 3rd party company now but im sure microsoft would play nice with a couple games,

[@HisRandomFriend]

We'd most likely be able to get Banjo Kazooie, and Conker's Bad Fur Day. There's no way we'd get both banjo games though. Maybe we could get lucky and get Jet Force Gemini or Perfect Dark, but probably not both. We'd get DK 64 and probably Diddy Kong racing which are both Rare. The biggest problem would be that it would feel incomplete without Goldeneye, which even Rare and Microsoft can't get anymore, but could you imagine the hype if they somehow got it for an N64 mini, it would be insane.

[@NatiPerPerdereNPP]

3 stars for Ghost and Goblins is too harsh. To me it's somewhere around 3,5 and 4.

[@colemanstraight5766]

Honestly, that is a pretty fair rating. The game has some really unfair parts, but is still fun. If Super Ghouls N Ghosts was rated 3 stars, then I would understand a 4 or 5.

[@NatiPerPerdereNPP]

If it's hard doesn't mean it's bad. And I know that there are a lot of games that are hard because of bad controls, bad game design and other technical flows like the camera not being able to catch up with the character or whatever but I dont see any of those things in G&G. Sure it has its problems and it's far from being a 5 star game but still, not THAT far. Sure it's not as polished as Castlevania 1 but I'd play g&g over it any day.

[@Clay3613]

Genesis and SNES were superior ports.

[@TheLibrarycop]

I love Ghosts N Goblins (one of my favorites) so I feel you but 3 stars is fair when you take into account its design flaws.

[@TheLibrarycop]

"Genesis and SNES were superior ports." Not even close. Those are completely different games. Besides, the SNES G n G game is not a port to begin with.

[@cannonballkid]

I enjoyed Pat channeling his inner "Nintendo Age" in his previous Punk video for this.

[@coreysmith4111]

Even though I have most of those games I gotta have it. So adorable looking and just looking at it brings me back in time.

[@austinsimon6808]

What was it that happened last year that made Nintendo want to market retro games to mainstream audiences? 3 words Pat: SUPER MARIO MAKER

[@PatTheNESpunk]

Ehhh, but that wasn't really an indication of more interest. They've been re-releasing and marketing retro titles on their consoles going back to the GBA.

[@chuckobscure]

Maybe it's me, I''ve purchased 60+ games on the Virtual Console since I got a Wii last fall. :P

[@Ragnark1]

I think it's because everyone likes the older games more.

[@NatiPerPerdereNPP]

I know it's pointless but my list would be something like this: • Balloon Fight • Battletoads • Blades of steel • Bubble Bobble • Bucky O' Hare • Castlevania • Castlevania III • Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers • Double Dragon II: The Revenge • Dragon Quest III • Duck Tales • Dr. Mario • Excitebike • Final Fantasy II • Ghosts'N Goblins • Kid Icarus • Kirby's Adventure • Mega Man • Mega Man 2 • Metroid • Ninja Gaiden • Punch-Out!! Featuring Mr. Dream • StarTropics • Contra • Super Mario Bros. • Super Mario Bros. 3 • R.C. Pro Am • Tecmo Super Bowl • The Legend of Zelda • Zelda II: The Adventure of Link

[@MasterZebulin]

No Blaster Master!? *Get the fuck out of my sight.*

[@nehor90210]

I'm most curious about whether the flap opens, not because there's any cartridge to insert anymore, but just to give us the full retro experience of blowing in there before we turn on the system.

[@josepalomares111]

Ian's comments always make these videos so enjoyable😂

[@tripdefect87]

River City Ransom would have been a nice inclusion (same with Little Samson), but they're going more for games that the average joe knows, not dire-hards

[@BanjoKazooietheNintendofan]

A lot of people know Little Samson.

[@TheLibrarycop]

The target audience for this product would generally not be familiar with a game like Little Samson.

[@BanjoKazooietheNintendofan]

efwefwef Ah my bad.

[@ikillomega]

This is true, but given its obscurity in its day and rarity now, it's hard to get a chance to play it again (legally). I'm not including ROM's here, so there is that, but has there been a digital Little Samson dropped out there? Was it on Taito Legends, I honestly do not know so correct me if I'm wrong? Bubble Bobble is on this, so that's Taito. I wonder if this is leading into something in the works. Little Samson is one of my 10 favorite NES games, btw :D

[@Fastandsteady]

a lot of the people in the retro gaming market know of Little Samson, and maybe a couple who read articles that have titles like "Your old NES games could be worth thousands of dollars!" or something, but I guarantee the general public has no fucking clue of it.

[@Mayoriot]

Nintendo is going to make such a rebound. already Pokemon go raised stocks. this coming and soon to come the NX. huge year from this point

[@roguecactus7]

Yes, indeed. 💰💰💰

[@whitestararmada103]

PKMN Go and this may just make up for there shit consoles.

[@VideoJames1019]

No$talgia money

[@TheMetalIsNeon]

Saying that Nintendo's net worth is more than all of Sony isn't say a whole lot considering that Sony isn't doing all that well.

[@HisRandomFriend]

+Raymond The Crow they're also worth more than Yahoo, Netflix, and Tesla.

[@needude7218]

a good thing about this is that for the pricepoint it becomes a great christmas present for a younger person, i got given an old NES when i was maybe 3 or 4 ( around 1996/7) the games are simple enough for a youngster to get into and engaging enough to keep them (and older players) coming back periodically for a few years. the 3ds ports of pokemon r/b/y showed how well an older game can sell based on the nostalgia and/or reputation of the title while being near enough unchanged

[@hpiguy]

Bummer that Nintendo didn't add a top loading game slot to complement this release.

[@markplott4820]

Because pirates.

[@markplott4820]

Nintendo can't make Any NES original hardware or NES carts.

[@chargermaster4054]

they copied the atari flashback

[@markplott4820]

Charger Master nope, HD 8 bit .

[@lordsnivyofnottingham2948]

Atari Flashback II had an Atari-on-a-chip, and could actually play real cartridges with a modification.

[@thetylife]

I wonder if they'll put out a Japanese Famicom version...either for Japan or in the U.S. later on with a different set of games if this sells.

[@markplott4820]

No.

[@likenem]

Technically they already did this 12 years ago. They had a super famicom mini collection in 2004 but it was a GBA SP with famicom color scheme. Their were 30 Famicom games released. It was changed to the Nes mini series here.

[@Imazdadrags]

I think they should have included a cartridge slot for mini NES carts they could have released mini versions of the boxed games Im sure it would take off like the Amiibo's. As for the parts they would only need to use a Like a USB port that does not cost much im sure they could produce cart games at the same cost as Amillbo's

[@markplott4820]

Nintendo has LOST the ability to make original NES hardware.

[@KevinArcade87]

+Mark Plott have you been in their factories and storage facilities? Is there a word from Nintendo that they lost the ability? Or are you just repeating what someone pulled out of his ass?

[@markplott4820]

Kevin De Bondt I am citing a industry news article I red about 3 - 4 years ago. forget which outlet it was but it pretty much confirms. around the same time, there were rumors of a retro device created by Nintendo. And the same day Wisdom Tree announces the are working on a NES clone in the shape of a controller ! which there is a kickstarter for today .people were speculating as they are today, with same arguments. and I'm fairly certain that a Nintendo engineer confirms it as well on one of the you tube forums. its been a while and I forget the original thread. Believe me or not but the NES original hardware is dead. only modders and people with original carts are keeping the NES alive. here is an idea ? why not try to get Nintendo of America to Fix a broken NES ? I bet they cant ! though maybe the repair techs can tell you why ?

[@Imazdadrags]

Does not need to run on Original hardware, id sooner have a modern system like this one that works on modern TV's but with the ability to play games from off a small cart with a ROM file built in.

[@kennyleo08]

I've pre-ordered one for my little girl who will be almost 3 years old this Christmas. She tries to play Mario Kart on my wii u and can't get the coordination together. This is safe content wise and simple for her to get engaged in gaming. I'm excited that she will be able to experience all these games for the first time with unjaded fresh eyes and I'll be able to revisit them with her. This is an extremely smart move before NX to remind people how they fell in love with their consoles to begin with.

[@Kem1kal13]

What's this NES guidebook? Ive never heard Pat mention it before.

[@TheMailmanOfSteel]

Nintendo could do something like "mini carts" that are roms on an SD card.

[@markplott4820]

nope, SD cards and USB not secure.

[@markplott4820]

you are seriously overthinking it, its a plug n play , rarely do those have more than 30 games and its likely that they will have a volume 2 down the line. if you like games and Nintendo get this. I still am :)

[@markplott4820]

Samson ? is that a Wisdom Tree game ? if it is . Wisdom Tree is making its own NES console to play bible games.

[@HisRandomFriend]

Nintendo already confirmed that there will be no expansion to this system, what you buy is what you get.

[@JCMaldonado13]

They should make a Gameboy version in the future

[@markplott4820]

Gameboy was on the gamecube.

[@JCMaldonado13]

+Mark Plott Game Boy...

[@rodeopirates1693]

That's a great idea! I didn't think of that initially.

[@HisRandomFriend]

If you have an Android phone, you can download an emulator and hook up a Bluetooth controller. Then you can also play NES, SNES, N64, Gameboy Color, Gameboy Advance, Sega Genesis, and PlayStation 1, and a lot more.

[@JCMaldonado13]

***** Like a handheld console the same size as a Game Boy Color or Pocket with a backlit color screen and preloaded with Game Boy games, is that too much to ask for?

[@JonThysell]

The best thing about retro-style consoles is that they're easy to use, more-so when the games are built-in. I can give this to my nephews and they can plug it in and play without any fiddling on my part. The biggest problem with emulators/Pi based systems is all the gotchas and how much you have to fiddle with it, because at the end of the day it is still a full computer with just some apps running on top of it. I've built Pi-based systems as "appliance-like" as I can, hiding away as much cruft as possible, but there's always something - an app crashes and takes you to a command line, or different emulators have different commands to bring up menus, etc. That's fine for me, but for anyone else there's always the point at which I need to come over and "fix it" for them.

[@Rouz102]

I told my coworker I found an NES a few years back for about $4 at a thrift store that we found out we both love going to. She got so ecstatic and said she wishes she could find one for that but then she mentioned not knowing how to hook it up to her hdtv and all of the issues that the average person would have. This would be perfect for someone like her. Hell, if my girlfriend got me this for our anniversary or christmas I'd still be happy. She loves bubble bobble and I can see us spending hours playing just that. There is a market for this even if you yourself don't care much for it. I already have my NES with a multicart with 150 original games but its not HD. For $60 to play most of the games I'd care about in HD, with a bunch of games I know my girlfriend, little sister, and other friends would want to play, this is a fantastic deal.

[@ip3onmyspace158]

With all the money nintendo is making off of Pokemon Go they could have at least put a cartridge slot on the NES mini. I mean come on they put one on the Genesis "flashback".

[@markplott4820]

Nintendo can't make Any original hardware or carts.

[@markplott4820]

+Mark Plott wanted to type : can't make any original NES hardware or NES carts.

[@jesuszamora6949]

They might feel it more profitable to sell one without cartridge every year like with the Atari Flashback.

[@cyrus649]

would love a gameboy version

[@markplott4820]

I thought the gamecube had a GB player ?

[@toxicpretender512]

+Mark Plott there was the super game boy for snes as well, for original GB games at least

[@cyrus649]

Mark Plott it did

[@toucansam3]

Doenload the MyBoy app to your phone if you gave an Android. Its the exact same thing.

[@cyrus649]

+Clutch Cargo I hate using my screen as a button... don't feel or respond right

[@JavierBustacara]

Totally agree about Ice Climber and the surprising absence of Contra...

[@DavidHunter1983]

I'm wondering if the controller options will be wired or wireless or both.

[@lilmorty99]

For Tecmo Super Bowl maybe they couldn't re release it because of the NFL license that EA has.

[@lindyxmjh4589]

Probably, has Tecmo ever released a rom of Super Bowl where they removed all of the names and licensed graphics like they did with the original Tecmo Bowl?

[@HisRandomFriend]

Yes, it's called Tecmo Bowl.

[@matth4063]

Amid all the politics and stress in the world you two are always my much needed respite.

[@ActuallySanFrancisco]

as the father of a 3-soon-to-be-4 year old who plays super mario bros all day long on his 3ds, you bet your ass i'm getting this. the NES is such a timeless system and it's the perfect console for beginning gamers and veterans alike. this will definitely beat our current setup of playing nes games emulated on my macbook plugged into our TV with ps3 controllers when we want to play the games together as a family.

[@reallyretro]

I'm all over this come November. I already pre ordered mine at Game Stop.

[@michaelstokes4469]

wonder which stores will be selling them? And how many scalpers are going to buy them in mass to screw everyone else over? Too bad Contra 1 & 2 is not on the list of games.

[@Ninkyo893]

That's my only worry. I really hope Nintendo ships enough to accommodate anyone who wants to buy this, and doesn't pull another Amiibo mishap. The scumbag resellers will be all over this if they don't. But I can see these being available pretty much anywhere, retail wise.

[@michaelstokes4469]

Yeah my bad, I unfortunately scanned the list for Contra 2 instead of Super C.

[@michaelstokes4469]

Maybe I should also point out neither Tertis games is available.

[@michaelstokes4469]

+Ninkyo893 Hopefully we can all pre-order. Going to GameStop tomorrow and see if they are offering pre-order.

[@JagStang77]

But no Double Dragon... :-(

[@TrueCarthaginian]

I have the whole NES library in a folder on my gaming PC, and I'll still be picking this up day 1.

[@StephenChapman]

Pat, do you render with Sony Vegas? The motion in most of your videos has ghosting that's characteristic of Sony Vegas defaults. If you do use Vegas and you want to get rid of that, left-click on the video on your video track (to make sure you have just the video track selected and not video + audio), then right-click on the video, choose Properties, then check the "Disable resample" radio button and click OK. You'll need to do that same thing for each video/clip you have, so if you import multiple clips, be aware of that. Also, if you're using one large clip, disable resampling first, and then as you split/edit your clip, each sub-clip therefrom will already have that property applied to it! Just disregard this whole thing if you don't use Vegas, obviously, lol. =)

[@AladarCZ42]

I assume there's no way to connect the pad to PC?

[@zachwinkelmann5881]

the year I get back into collecting retro games...well I guess I'll get this for my pops.

[@sweetfeathery]

You asked in the video Pat what suddenly made Nintendo do refocus on its retro division, and I think I have the answer. Nintendo said recently that their focus is to strengthen it's visibility on their IPs, so having a clone console with most of its major properties is a perfect way to do so. With this console they can ignite the nostalgia factor for people who haven't played an NES for decades, as well as give it's library of games more mainstream exposure to younger crowds. This will be key for getting people excited for things like the Nintendo theme park attraction and it's movie lineup.

[@donanderson9178]

Dude looks like the hippy teacher from Beavis and Butthead.

[@RandomNameInserted]

I would love a SNES version of this, that is the one Nintendo console I didn't have growing up and I would love to have an easily accessible collection like this for it.

[@HopeOrDoom]

I've experienced the same thing: people I who aren't into video games are bringing this up to me, and every time I tell them how much it will cost, they have always said they want it. Very awesome.

[@darkentity1000]

I think it's brilliant considering retro is cool again, the 80's is cool again. You've got genres of music now that mimic 80's synths, you've got retro chiptune music and you've of coarse got the new games that imitate the retro pixel-art style. I think it's really the perfect time to release something like this.

[@Cawby]

I think this is the perfect thing for new gamers. My roommate and her daughter both wanted to try out gaming but are intimidated by my ps4 controller and don't want to go out and buy a wii in case they don't really like it, so I think this with its variety is perfect for them. For me it's definitely nostalgia, can't wait to play the smb games with them and relive all those first time experiemces with them, plus there's a good amount I've never played. Everyone I knew, me included, never got single player games, so there's like 13-15 on that list which I've never touched, so sweet for me even if they don't like it.

[@Turner_D_Century]

Can't wait to have that Bubble Bobble theme, loop in my head :)

[@cadenconnolly]

will it connect online for multipler player or be able to download additional games?

[@Andrew-zv4fm]

I have been waiting for the two of you to talk about this. There are days where I wish I would I had a NES collection, but this item would be good for me.

[@metalmat3651]

I'm actually a bit surprised they included Tecmo Bowl, which is one of my favorites. Will definitely be getting this.

[@CecilTheDarkKnight234]

Oh yeah, i'm defiantly going to pick up one these in November.

[@coachNewman17]

All of my friends just would have tourney's playing Techmo Bowl. Such good times. Wish Ice Hockey was on that list though and of course Contra.

[@retromansion762]

Price point is right on target. The plan to use same ports was also. Game selection is very good as well. I think the only thing in my opinion that they missed on this one was somehow the ability to either plug in the carts you already own, or purchase and download other titles onto a hard drive.

[@SuperKokuJin916]

I would love a Famicom version with the original controllers (microphone and start & select buttons on both), Devil World, Akumajou Densetsu & FDS versions of Metroid, Zelda.

[@markplott4820]

No plans at this time.

[@jason82184]

Totally going to get one and probably going to give a few out for Christmas.

[@jtpman9964]

Since it has controller ports that match the Wii mote, I wonder if the Wii pro controller will work on it

[@codenamegamma]

the thing is to, theres no reason why there couldn't be an SD card slot (or DS Slot, since they have 1000's of them already) under the flap in the front, then later release a basically a DS game that will give you more games at another 30. if next summer they released, another 15 games at 30 using the tech and parts they already have from the DS to make a cart to fit in the thing, i have no doubt that would sell as well.

[@adscientia8370]

It is just one piece to collect; to play a Sunday afternoon and remember the 80's. The following week saved in the box and let stored.

[@nonstopoulos]

Hi Pat, what NES flash cart does Ian have that he recommends?

[@dabemoji2839]

Was waiting for this one

[@sgfreak37]

since my 5 yo nephew loves to play on the nes, I am so going to try and get him one. I think he would love it.

[@TheOldMan2084]

I have an original NES with a lot of those games...and I still kind of want this.

[@machewsan1422]

If you live in Australia... you'll understand why the NES Classic is a fucking lifesaver. I went into an Op Shop the other day and they had a dirty yellowed SNES priced for $170!!! fuck that.

[@RamadityaAdikara]

I hope it will reach me here in Indonesia. I love this!

[@DonaldMohrMusic]

IT WAS THE RELEASE OF THE ULTIMATE NES GUIDE

[@PatTheNESpunk]

:O

[@DonaldMohrMusic]

Pre-order ordered Guide + Everdrive = Why do I still have my 100 carts?

[@JacobyJ56]

This is where it all began

[@brentpage2032]

I agree Pat even though im a retro gamer I will by this for entertainment at the house for all my other fellow 30 Somethings who want to relive our childhood

The NES was my first console (well, my father had an Intellivision). I still have it, signed by the Joueur du Grenier (French AVGN). I will definitely buy this mini NES so my 2-years twin daughters will be able to play those fantastic games I played but on a recent screen. The games choice is just amazing. To enter the video games world, it's perfect! Really impatient to enjoy a Mario 3 game with my daughters!

[@austinmyers6349]

Does this still take the original cartridges as well as the pre loaded games? The Sega Genesis preloaded did. (from atgames)

[@smashbrospippop1931]

My question; how would the japanese famicon version look?

[@ecwfaithful]

I without a doubt if I can find it will be getting it this Christmas season. As for the device itself, my only possible complain is, I would have liked it to have an SD card slot for ROMs that weren't already there or homebrew titles, but I am perfectly fine with the list they have pieced together for the built in games.

[@erectbovine]

I'm going to buy this. I bought an NES about 4 years ago with no idea of the collector's scene. The games I wanted costed more than I wanted to pay. This is fantastic.

[@markplott4820]

Came out of nowhere ? Pat. Both Nintendo announced 3 -4 years ago that it was working on a small portable console, and wisdom tree made plans the same time, creating the Arkade all in one bible game inside a NES controller. Both were announced this week.

[@jtmurdock]

I plan to buy one. I'll keep it in my desk at work and happily hook it up when I'm bored at 3AM. At the worst, I'll keep it in a carry case in the back of my car and bring it into work. It'll be so easy to deal with.

[@OctoberHaywire]

Really looking forward to this. I can already see a possible SNES Classic Edition being made at some point. Collecting old games is something I'd love to do but can't afford to so this is the next best thing

[@ArmorClassman]

It's scary how much I want this even though I own the majority of the same classic carts.

[@jd-py5nm]

some stores are taking pre orders already not game stop but local stores that have orders in

[@andrezenz]

Its for me, in scandinavia original games and NES console's is very expensive and rare to find in the "wild". This is a nice way to get the retro feel.

[@yerrotv743]

What headphones do you guys use?

[@gabbinaboutgames2411]

Struggling to find this for the UK - either there's not a scheduled EU release or Nintendo are only selling direct.

[@nopales3332]

the podcast ive been waiting for!

[@apollstar1]

I want one of these. This brings me close to the nostalgic feeling of back then when I owned a nes, but this time I won't have to blow through the cartridges or clean them with alcohol, or spend a ton of money on another old nes and all the games. I can just buy this and still have that nostalgic feeling, and something that can be a collectors item. Yeah, it won't be the same thing as a real nes or worth as much. But as someone who isn't that hardcore with retro gaming, and just wants something to remind myself of some of the games I played growing up, this is good for me. I'm more of a PC gamer, and this sitting around for only 60 bucks is a go.

[@JocoGameStudio]

why don't add a ds/3ds cartridge slot? so you can play multiple games at home?

[@paulgeorge2830]

Hey could somebody answer a question i have please (probably a stupid one lol), Can you play all the NES cartridges on this system ? Thanks!

[@JsRetroVideoGames]

The HDMI port doesn't work on my TV. Will this console possibly have the Audio/Video capabilities? I'd hate to have to buy a new TV just for this console.

[@josephfanning1241]

I've noticed that a LOT of the games on here are games that were available on the Playchoice-10. Even the third party games, like Ninja Gaiden and Castlevania, had PC10 releases.

[@BarrettMaster47]

Hope you guys are prepared to make a video about scalpers buying up as many of these and the controllers as they can and reselling them for more.

[@StarReel]

This could be the best idea NIntendo has had for years. Just wish they had more games (or that we could add games?) They have essentially unlimited storage so. Would have loved to have Tecmo world cup soccer and the other Tecmo games on here.

[@xwulfd]

Nintendo had nothing to do with poekmon go o_o

[@viscountalpha]

Yes and no. Niantic is owned by nintendo if i'm not mistaken. I believe they are a subsidiary of nintendo. That's why their stock price rose when pokemon go hit it big.

[@Hobojo153]

They're not owned by Nintendo.

[@Tommylop1982]

Neither is Castlevania, Super C, Mega Man 2, and Ninja Gaiden included in this mini nes.

[@chuckobscure]

^Wut. All 4 of those games are on there.

[@leewilson167]

I am so buying one just so me and my dad can relive the old days

[@UncleSilverGaming]

I'm bummed that it won't have internet connectivity to expand the library on it, but that won't stop me from getting it.

[@rvm2112]

I wasn't even aware this was coming out. I was a big fan of Nintendo in the early days. Thanks for the video and heads up!

[@jasonxoc]

I'm surprised it doesn't have wifi and e-shop for the rest of the nes store library

[@JonThysell]

I have many original retro consoles, real carts, flash carts, clones, knock-offs, and have built several of my own Pi-based systems. I never had an actual NES as a kid, so it was never "my system", so I've never felt the need to pick up and actual NES. But I will totally be buying one of these for myself.

[@PSUDarius2032]

Just curious, will this be something that HAS TO BE preordered to have a chance to get it on the release date?

[@frod79]

I like the idea of a mini new with cartridge slot where you can put in game paks like 10-20 games though that would probably be too much. definitely getting one of these. not a collector but nice to have at the apt for friends and early morning weekend playing
