Removed every post after this. While Im sure most of them were on topic, I honestly didnt feel like reading them all. But this thread (among many lately) has taken the way to the toilet as far as content goes.
If you are going to post on here, make it about the subject at hand.

I'm amazed the list of included games features a few non-Nintendo titles. Usually mini-consoles like this are a licensing nightmare to get released.
HDMI is good too. I really hope that there's no blur filter added onto the image like there seems to be with Wii U virtual console games. Ultra sharp pixels are the best!

Im sure Nintendo made a deal where each console sale is equivalent to a digital sale of the games included, so publishers get their money. They are VC titles.

And here's the little NES getting shown off at Comic Con.
Man that controller cord is super short lol Don't think they make controller cord extensions for ones like that at all. Perhaps the better option is to have a really long HDMI cord? Like I grabbed something like a 20 foot one awhile back.

Post by: sithsylar on July 21, 2016, 06:54:37 pm
Yep i got to say that short controller length is honestly killer. I love the product apart from that but i think its kind of a major problem imo unless you can buy an extension for it...

There are extension cables out there already, although they're somewhat rare. There's only a couple on eBay at the moment.

ahhh my post got deleted.
i met a guy who was pretty interested in this. older guy who can't get into the 20+ hr experiences offered today, but also doesn't wanna shell out for expensive as shit NES titles. this thing isn't for me, i think, but yea. there's only a handful of games i'd want to play on this, but i think i can play them other ways.
it's a neat little item tho. i'm sure it'll be a success. it's def releasing at the right time for nostalgia seekers.

I'm pretty interested in it. It has 30 great games, looks like a solidly-built mini-NES and has the original controllers which provide the authentic feel from when you originally played these games.
What's aggravating is seeing articles on it on the web and in the comments sections, everyone bitching about the price. Wow...$60 for a souvenir/game system and thirty DAMN FINE GREAT CLASSIC GAMES. We aren't talking 30 Atari "beep-boop-bop!" games or one of those chinzy Genesis consoles with 30 home-coded turds to pad out the selection. It also has HDMI and Nintendo is making it directly, not some 3rd party. Things like not including the AC adapter for the end of the USB power cable are cheesy as is the short controller cord length. But the same people bitching about the price will go out to a bar or a movie or an overpriced dinner and spend more than that no questions asked.
Me? I could go eat a $60 meal. About 12 hours later (give or take) I'll pinch a big loaf of that meal in the toilet. Or, I could buy a $8 McMeal and this guy for about the same price and enjoy classic gaming bliss forever more.

I'll be honest with you. In the past when I wanted something, I've always opted for something physical over food. When I was in middle school, I saved my lunch money every day to buy comic books. When I got older and was single, I'd eat friggin ramen noodles to have the money for whatever I wanted.

edit: i'm really sorry, i ramble a lot >~> feel free to ignore
i agree with you about the preferring something physical over buying food yikes. but i have disordered eating, so i see it as a win/win in my case. >.>;; on the other hand, how the hell does someone eat a $60 meal??? i think the biggest tab i've ever dragged up was $25... that was sushi, a bento box and a round of desert and hot tea. yikes. (there again, as a vegetarian, it's hard for me to accrue a big tab... big tabs, i think, come from quality steak and such, filet mignon, it's easy to not accrue a giant tab on cheap vegetarian sushi/seaweed salad/tofu/mochi ice cream hahaha. i remember my ex would order salmon or whatever and his side of our tab would usually swallow mine whole... mahi mahi or salmon and the quality fish sushis don't come cheap at aaaall. ...well, it's easy to be cheap as a vegetarian as long as you don't go to hipstery vegan restaurants that shun GMOs and other shit like that lmao)
but yeah, $60 is a new game, and the price of all these games on the virtual console is like double, almost triple, the cost of this little machine. the price is fine. it's really not that much at all. you get 30 games and a neat collector's item... $2/game, before considering manufacturing cost and the cost of the little console itself. it's a great deal. kinda funny games pointed this out too. don't NES games on VC go for $5??
only children can really complain about $60 ngl. i don't make a lot, i make maybe 100 extra bones a month if i'm being 100% honest, but even i see that the value of this is actually higher. tho one can argue about why old games still go for $5 in digital format, or whatever (especially in a day where $1 mobile games are everywhere...) but that's for another topic altogether and can be a demand/supply argument for people brighter than i am.
as for people blowing that much cash on a dinner + cinema experience... people live for experience and they see value in different things, i guess. for me, going to cinema for a $12(? $17?) ticket + popcorn/candy/soda cost + $20 dinner or whatever, i have no idea how much this stuff costs anymore lmao, isn't worth it, because i don't see 'value' in film watching... which is precisely why i can count the amount of films i've seen in the past 5 years on one hand and probably have a finger or two to spare (the machinist, one or two of the godzilla films, alfred hitchcock's psycho, fwiw). i find it a pointless activity, that i get very little to no enrichment out of, i don't feel any accomplishment after film-watching (unlike reading a book/manga, drawing, playing a game to completion, etc). but other people put a lot of value into watching films (or anime or whatever). but they don't feel there is as much value in retro NES titles in a pretty package. that's just their own personal supply/demand in their own head, i guess. my ex roommate got a lot of enrichment out of going to the cinema... he was constantly watching movies on netflix, constantly going to the cinema, at least three times a month. as for me, i found it a pointless activity, so i wouldn't partake (to his chagrin)
people prioritise things based on what they feel they get from that experience... some people dig that whole "going on a friday night to the cinema after dinner then renting another film before bed" jam, they don't think about blowing that cash for that reason. but buying this, when they could just download those games via piracy... yeah. i guess it's the same for anything else. i think i'd be more likely to partake in film piracy (I DON'T, i don't even have internet to pull that off right now LOL) than, say, my roommate, who paid for netflix/redbox/cinema tickets, because i don't feel that it's a value to me to pay for film (i don't feel it's a value TO MY TIME, though, whether i get it for free or not, so i don't bother at all). on the other hand, he was much more keen on downloading DS games online... because he was borrowing my DS, so he didn't have a permanent platform to play them on... the value wasn't there for him.
on the other hand, we at this site all seem to prefer owning copies of games rather than renting/borrowing/pirating for a reason yeah? ;'D
dunno why i'm rambling about this shit, which you all probably know by now. but yeah. i mean, i get why people complain about the price, but it's their own personal set of value, versus true market value. in other words, they're being self-absorbed. go figure, the game industry is full of that, haha.

The only movies I have gone and seen in the past nine months are Star Wars the Force Awakens and Captain America Civil War. I can't stand spending all that money to sit in an uncomfortable theater with my feet stuck to the floor and some "big head" sitting down directly in front of me. >:(

Post by: ignition365 on July 27, 2016, 09:58:00 am
We go to the Alamo Drafthouse for movies, the experience is worth it. It's like $10/person. The height difference between each row is enough that you can't even see the seats in the row in front of you. They serve drinks and food. The theater has strict policies on noise complaints, so people CAN and WILL be escorted from the building. They serve alcohol so most of the time, no minors. The 30 minutes leading up to the film, they play relevant videos. For deadpool they played a bunch of videos from conventions with deadpool cosplayers, trailers of other Ryan reynolds super hero films (Green lantern and the blade films... even though he was only in the 3rd), and other funny deadpool related videos. For Civil War they played a civil war mockumentary themed as an American Civil War documentary, but about Marvel Civil War, they played a Iron Man v. Captain America kung fu short film. They played some spiderman stuff from bollywood, japan, and mexico. And usually they have themed snacks, drinks, and meals. For deadpool they had chimichangas. Occasionally they have other stuff, like they will play Princess Bride and give everyone foam swords to sword fight with during the movie. Sometimes they will have trivia nights or something. It's just a really cool experience, and as it is, $10 for a movie ticket is pretty good in comparison to other theaters.
Yay off topic again.

lol there is a place in our area that is a "rich person" restaurant called Bass Street Landing. you know the whole 1 piece carved full wooden tables, white table cloth, 6-7 pieces of REAL silverware pre-arranged on the table a spot, real unguarded candles that were lit when we sat down (and were probably pitched afterwards), that kind of place. my mom wanted to go there for her 50th birthday so we took her, her husband, my brother, my GF, and myself and by the end of it racked up a $500 bill or $100 a person, and there were only 2 pieces of good cuts of meat that we ordered. I cant remember what it was but I got a vegetarian option there as it was one of the cheapest items on the menu (it was good but for the price I probably could have made better) and my seat still came to $60.
back on topic though I can see the value there for the mini-nes but since I own a good portion of the games in hard copy I will probably wait to see if it drops in price to around $30-40

If I had known the prices ahead of time, I wouldn't have gone. If I walked in and saw those prices, I would have walked the fuck back out. There is a great steakhouse called Colton's that I go to. I have not once had a bad meal there and the steak is juicy & bloody as hell when I order it that way. For me, the wife and two daughters to eat there costs around $60. I grumble about that costing so much. Like I said, no matter what you eat it just makes a turd in the end. Now of course I'm not suggesting that the flavor of your food counts for nothing. But unless it's for a really good charity, there is no way in bloody hell that I would spend $100+ per person for a meal.
....I also don't need fifty pieces of silverware. A fork, spoon and knife is all I need. After I eat my salad, the same fucking fork works just fine for poking a piece of steak too. #thispoorguygivesnoshits.

That's just fucked up. Soda costs pennies. Literally. PENNIES!
wanna make it worse? i worked for a shitty fast food restaurant one time that wouldn't let us get free soda on the clock. water or tea only. and their tea was nauseatingly sweet. southern fast food #neveragain i bitched and moaned about it, everyone did, we all knew it was worth nothing... no change tho.
employees did not get half off price for soda either. so it was pay $1.69 for it or you were stuck with water or teasyrup that kinda tasted like tea almost. we were supposed to upsale that overpriced shit and i just couldn't bear to do it.

Well, again like I said... This is really cool that Nintendo is doing this and I'm impressed with the list of titles that were chosen to be built in. But I am rather confused to see that Contra and Castlevania 3 are absent from the roster for some reason yet their respective prequels and sequels are. I also would like to have seen it with it's own Virtual console so we could download more games to it, like a Steam Machine for Nintendo.
So if Nintendo were to make an SNES Mini, What games would you want in it? Do it like the NES mini and have 30 games with the majority being Nintendo made and one third of the list for third party games. I would like to see...
Super Mario World(+Super Mario All-Stars if may be) SMW2:Yoshi's Island F-Zero Pilotwings Donkey Kong Country 1,2,3 Super Metroid Zelda: Link to the Past Starfox Contra III Mega Man X Street Fighter II Turbo Earthbound Final Fantasy 6(or 3) Super Punch out! Gradius III Kirby Super Star Castlevania IV Super Mario RPG Super Double Dragon Super Ghouls n Ghosts Super Mario Kart Tetris & Dr Mario Tetris Attack Yoshi's Cookie Wario's Woods Chrono Trigger Stunt Race FX Kirby's Dream Land 3 Final Fight 2 Illusion of Gaia

An SNES mini would be swell. I'd like to see these on it. These are in no particular order (except the first one).
1. Secret of Mana 2. Secret of Evermore 3. Chrono Trigger 4. Illusion of Gaia 5. Soul Blazer 6. Lufia & The Fortress of Doom 7. Lufia II: Rise of the Sinistrals 8. Mega Man X 9. Mega Man X2 10. Mega Man X3 11. Kirby Super Star 12. Breath of Fire 13. Breath of Fire II 14. Super Mario World 15. Super Mario World 2 aka Baby Mario 16. Mario RPG 17. Final Fantasy IV 18. Final Fantasy VI 19. Castlevania IV 20. Donkey Kong Country 21. Donkey Kong Country 2 22. Mega Man 7 23. Super Metroid 24. Contra III 25. Tales of Phantasia 26. Terranigma 27. Treasure Hunter G 28. Secret of Mana 2 29. Live a Live 30. Romancing Saga 3
Yes, there are some imports on there. I couldn't help myself.
Title: Re: Mini NES Classic Ediiton
Post by: blurks on August 02, 2016, 04:19:13 pm
My list would include these titles: Super Mario World Yoshi's Island F-Zero Pilotwings Donkey Kong Country 1, 2, 3 Super Metroid Zelda Starfox Contra III Mega Man X Street Fighter II Turbo Earthbound King of Dragons Knights of the Round Castlevania IV Super Ghouls n Ghosts R-Type III Metal Warriors Earthworm Jim 1, 2 Super Mario Kart Tetris & Dr Mario Final Fight 2 Super Smash T.V. Turtles In Time Harvest Moon International Superstar Soccer Deluxe Super Bomberman 3 Zombies
I couldn't care less about Japanese RPG's and American sports titles. Earthbound and Zelda is the max I can take when it comes these genres.

I think a Mini SNES is inevitable because the mini NES is going to be a huge hit. So with that being said, here are my picks for the 30 games it should include.
1 Super Mario World 2 Super Mario World 2 - Yoshi's Island 3 Super Mario All-Stars 4 The Legend of Zelda - A Link to the Past 5 Super Castlevania IV 6 ActRaiser 7 Illusion of Gaia 8 Donkey Kong Country 9 Donkey Kong Country 2 10 Donkey Kong Country 3 11 Contra III 12 Super Metroid III 13 Starfox 14 F-Zero 15 Pilot Wings 16 Super Mario Kart 17 Super Ghouls & Ghosts 18 Tetris & Dr. Mario 19 Mario RPG 20 Kirby SuperStar 21 Super Punch-Out! 22 Yoshi's Cookie 23 Wario Woods 24 Final Fantasy III (VI if you are in Japan) 25 Earthbound 26 Demon's Crest 27 Super R-Type III 28 Mega Man X 29 Gradius III 30 Earthworm Jim

I'm all for the NES mini. I would love to collect for the NES. It would be my next system in theory, however, I don't want to devote the space to another system. Having 30 games at my disposal with a more console like feel than an emulator on a PC would be great. I will probably pick this up. It is a great selection of games.
Edit: I would like to see double dragon 2 removed and replaced with Contra. They have gradius after all. Or at the very least replace it with the original double dragon.

Edit: I would like to see double dragon 2 removed and replaced with Contra. They have gradius after all. Or at the very least replace it with the original double dragon.
I think the Double Dragon thing is because TradeWest had the license for the first game whereas Acclaim published the second one. I would prefer Contra myself.

I'd like to see another version of this with those crazy expensive games on it. I know this is pie in the sky dreaming; but have a system with those prohibitively expensive games on it.
I don't think it would do anything to the market. Very few people are getting a Samson cart because it they just want to play it. If you know what Little Samson is, you can figure out how to emulate.

Oh I'm well aware. I've had plenty of chances in my time to pick up plenty of these now obscure NES games such as Panic Restaurant, Whomp 'Em, Fire N' Ice, etc.. I know for a fact I've personally held a cart-only Little Samson in my hand and passed on it because I thought I could find it CIB at one point (in hindsight, that was one of my more poorer decisions :P). If anything, its inclusion would probably RAISE the price of the cart. :P

I've NO doubt in my mind that someone is going to get a hold of one of these units, gut it like a fish, and put some kind of custom Raspberry Pi hardware in it that will run a NES emulator with tons of ROMs. ;)

Agreed besides you can already get cheap repro carts with 100+ games including little samson for only around 15 shipped, you could also go for free emulation and maybe an everdrive for all the games at ones if you'd like to play on original hardware.
That aside
Putting these rare or popular games on the newer plug'n play consoles or emulation have not helped to drop the price at all. Might have increased the price for all that we know. Besides if this would have any influence on the prices than games such megaman and zelda should have been bottom dollar by now because they are available everywhere these days and for a low price at that.

Played around with one tonight at a game meetup and while it's a nifty little thing (Absolutely tiny, you can't fathom how small it is till you really see it), I'm not too bummed about passing on it. It's not something I'd really use a lot I feel, but I can see how when shown to people who haven't gamed much in years, this a good kick to the nostalgia and would get some people excited to play again or have something to show to their kids, which its great for. I'd rather save my money for an AVS and Everdrive cart. More expensive, but more real value.

Stopped by the GS across from my comic shop and the manager told me they only got in 4 units to sell. I'm wondering if his DM reallocated some units to busier stores in the district (wouldn't really surprise me because they did that when I worked there). The manager told me that he had a line about 15-20 deep a good hour before he was set to open.
You'd think after the ire they drew from the whole Amiibo nonsense that they'd have let that hyping nonsense die off but apparently not. ::)

I don't get why people buy it for such a high price in the first place ???
I can expect it for the regular people who want to relive some memories for the normal price but I find it insane that especially collectors want this plug n play console while an everdrive gives unlimited games instead of only 30. What's the appeal for a collector aside from another official collectible with nice packaging? I highly doubt that there are any regular people who want to buy one for the sake of reliving those memories for the inflated price. I think that only the collectors and semi collectors pay those insane prices who usually already have an nes with games, just for the sake of another collectible item.
You won't find me dead with a plug n play console not today not tomorrow.

Two core reasons:
1) Overall ignorance. Nobody on these forums (or really any gaming forums) is the target audience for this. The target is the adult who very casually plays games and/or wants to experience some childhood nostalgia. If you mention terms like emulation, ROMs, or virtual console to them, they'll react by tilting their head like a confused puppy. If you've ever had to be your family's IT person, it's people with that level of technological ignorance that Nintendo's gunning for.
2) It's basically one of the big holiday items for this season. So, people get panicky and desperate, because if that's not under the tree, then Christmas is ruined. So folks will shell out large wads of cash because they can't bear to get little Johnny something else or god forbid, an IOU. Hell, just look at all the tantrums being thrown on the item's amazon page about people being pissed off that Amazon sold out so fast. Those people simply don't realize that yes, they wanted one, but so did a few hundred thousand other people.

I'd love to someday pick up one of these and give it to my dad. He could play old Zelda 1 and 2 with no issues, no roms, it just plugs right into a TV, it's incredibly handy and straightforward and he might even get a kick out of some of the other games since he can't do anything too fast paced. Doesn't have the dexterity for it. Him, people who haven't bought a new Nintendo system in years, or parents wanting to show their kids what they use to play, that's who this is for. It's a very smart thing to do, though Nintendo is being shitty with stock like they always are. Either they are purposefully releasing small amounts of stock to build hype, or they are just oblivious to their own market. I wouldn't put either past them.

From my experience in being in retail for over a decade, yes. I've seen many grown adults brake down into full-blown temper tantrums or go red with rage over our store being out of an item during the holidays. After the fit subsides, they'll get panicky and desperate. People will wind up spending or doing as much as it takes to make sure that item makes it under the tree. It's like a real life version of the movie Jingle All The Way.
Also, for another group of people, they're willing to spend the big bucks just so that they can be one of the first to have it. To them, it doesn't matter that supply will catch up with demand or the item will be worthless after a while; All that matters is hat they have it and others don't yet.

They sold all units without a loss and thanks to that free publicity for their brand name because of it being so popular and selling out so quickly. It has been on the news even in my country that it has done so well and that their was a high demand.
I'm pretty sure many potential customers will come for the NX this is just a publicity stunt for their brand name. I think it is their strategy and a smart one at that. They could make a 2nd wave but I'm pretty sure it has been done on purpose for the first wave

Sorry to revive the thread after being dead for almost dead for two months but but seems that they finally have done what I predicted/wanted ;D
A Russian hacker named Madmonkey released instructions over the weekend walking through the process of adding games to Nintendo’s much sought after NES Classic Mini.
Prepping the system to add more games is relatively straight forward, requiring a game saved in the first Super Mario Bros. slot, connecting the system to a computer with the included USB cable and booting up the tiny system into FEL mode. Once prepped, an owner simply has to follow the instructions found on the Reddit thread (https://www.reddit.com/r/nesclassicmods/comments/5mcgdj/russian_hacker_madmonkey_also_releases_tool_to/).

Wonder if Nintendo will do some changes into the security of this console like a v2.0 or it will remain exactly the same.

The other day at WM there was just one in stock, and some guy bought it. I wasn't really wanting it. But they said it was the only one they shipped the store.
