|
|
Now THIS is a good idea
https://www.engadget.com/2016/07/14/nintendos-classic-mini-is-a-tiny-nes-with-30-games/
Games will include the following:
Balloon Fight
Bubble Bobble
Castlevania
Castlevania II: Simon's Quest
Donkey Kong
Donkey Kong Jr.
Double Dragon II: The Revenge
Dr. Mario
Excitebike
Final Fantasy
Galaga
Ghosts' N Ghoblins
Gradius
Ice Climber
Kid Icarus
Kirby's Adventure
Mario Bros.
Mega Man 2
Metroid
Ninja Gaiden
Pac-Man
Punch-Out!! Featuring Mr. Dream
StarTropics
SUPER C
Super Mario Bros.
Super Mario Bros. 2
Super Mario Bros. 3,
Tecmo Bowl
The Legend of Zelda
Zelda II: The Adventure of Link
That is a fairly solid list of games. It will have HDMI output and an original controller. Cost will be $59.99, released in early November.
On a side note - this looks like a hacker's dream. My guess is it will be hacked to play other NES titles in no time. |

This is going to sell like crazy. While it may not directly appeal to young gamers (I mean teenager and lower), their parents will be interested in getting one and sharing the experience of old school retro gaming. The packaging is very slick, and collectors will definitely want to put this on a shelf. Hopefully either Nintendo adds more games to this down the road, or hackers figure out a way to do it themselves. Maybe we'll see an SNES mini next year, if this does as well as hoped. I may even end up grabbing one. |

Nope, that is not gonna happen https://www.engadget.com/2016/07/14/nintendo-classic-mini-games/
I'm not really surprised, either. As you said, I think Nintendo is targeting the generation who grew up playing video games in the 80s and 90s, and so Nintendo is just gonna stick with mass appeal. I don't think they're targeting the niche market of hardcore retro-gamers as much as they are more casual gamers who played the NES 20 to 30 years ago and haven't touched one in many years.
My guess is this will be a one-time release, and as you suggested, if this is a success I STRONGLY SUSPECT they will release an SNES version next year. |

I plan on picking this bad boy up and not unpack it but keep it as a collectors item. Since after all, if you own a NES Controller, USB NES plug and a emulator. (I prefer Nestopia personally)
Then you pretty much got yourself a Mini NES. _________________ There totally nothing to read here. |
