Considering I can buy a modded Wii from some shady dude on craigslist that has every single nes, snes, gameboy, TB16, master system, genesis, and gamegear game every made for the same price...I think I'll pass.

It's cute, and it will be perfect for teaching my kids about some classic NES games. :D

Waiting for the SNES version. The NES was great as a kid when it was the only console I had but it hasn't aged well. Apart from Mario, Megaman and Zelda I don't see anything good and I've played those to death anyway.

As long as we're mentioning games that we'd wish were in there - I know Jeff already mentioned Blaster Master, but I have to second it as it's such an excellent game. Here's a list off the top of my head of my go to NES games (that aren't already listed):

• Contra - A must have
• DuckTales
• Little Nemo: The Dream Master
• Metal Storm
• TMNT 1
• TMNT 2: The Arcade Game
• Chip 'N Dale: Rescue Rangers

Between Pokemon go and this Nintendo in a very short span of time has reversed their fortunes from a company that was on the ropes with a very questionable future, to a company poised to take over the world (again). Good job guys. Back to printing your own money it seems.

They were never on the ropes. Their backlog of games, IPs and nostalgia plays are worth billions of dollars. Now their console business is STILL at risk outside of this recent successes. You could argue they may be on the brink of some very large structural changes with respect to who the company employs. That said Nintendo will be making games and putting out old releases of things from the past for a long long time to come.

@mezwaan: Yeah, the checkpoint system is a great move. I've tried to download emulators in the past by looking at suggestions on forums and every one I download comes with a bunch of viruses and/or bloatware, so I've just given up on that route.

@oasisbeyond: Yeah, I don't want to do that.

I'm definitely going to be buying this as well.. but damn do I wish it had Ice Hockey on it! That is still a great "arcade" hockey game.

I think these will be HARD to find because of high demand. If anyone sees these go up on Amazon PLEASE write a forum post because I want to pre-order.

That's right "River City Motherfucking Ransom"! haha

I feel like these will do pretty well, especially at that price point...I'm not even that into the games from a nostalgia point, but I'd probably but it anyway just because!

@johnnymcginley: I thought this was an emulator? I mean its 30 games on a single board. if its not playing the cartridges, then its emulating them, yes?

It would be cool if they threw in Shovel Knight into this package. I know, not an NES game, but a great NES style game.

@benmo316: I'm...not sure where you're getting emulators from. The only notable time that bloatware has ever been attached to, as far as I know, is project64.

@error52: I don't recall which ones I tried to download, it was a couple years ago.

Not sure this has been mentioned. You can order this now for 50 quid in the uk with a release date for 11th november from the nintendo store or amazon... 8 quid for a controller
