Virtual Boy. But with more batteries needed to power it.

Gamecube, it makes a big fuss, though!

I picked focus on the Switch. I really don't like these limited edition impossible to get discrete hardware plastic tat systems.

I think Gamecube is trivially easy in terms of hardware power and storage so I don't know why it wouldn't "ever" happen. Its discs were like 1 GB so for 21 games you'd only need a 32 GB flash chip, which they give away in cereal boxes at this point.

Gameboy Advance Classic makes the most sense if I HAD to choose. Something a little bigger than the GB Micro that you could just throw in your pocket and bring with you.

Yeah dude. VR is all the rage right now after all.

They COULD include the full library. That's appealing.

I'd actually buy this for $100, but I'm a very sick individual.

I guess I would pick something I can't just download a free emulator for.

mini gamecube

I honestly think they should stop at the snes or maybe do a gameboy classic. The idea of a N64 classic is silly to me, the graphics havent aged well (worse than the nes and snes) and a lot of the games you would want would be difficult to obtain due to licenses they don't own.

If they can do the licenses I would love to see an N64 classic. But then again almost every game that I would want on it has seen a rerelease which largely improves the base game

Just focus on the damn Switch and get the Virtual Console working for it already, and god knows that also needs some work compared to everything else.

Wouldn't the GBA Mini just be a GBA Micro? Those things were fucking tiny. I'd like to have one just for novelty reasons, but I don't really see myself playing it too often. However, I would definitely buy a Game Boy Advance SP re-release that comes pre-loaded with a bunch of good games and has a slot for new GBA games. Would be even better if you could use the GBA game slot to dump your own games into internal storage but that ain't gonna happen.

At the end of the day, I really like the idea of these mini consoles but I'm leaning more and more towards just building a RetroPi and plugging that up to my TV.

Gamecube

Gamecube. Voted for focus on the Switch since Gamecube isn't an option

The reason Gamecube isn't an option is because it's just never going to happen. People would pay real money if Nintendo remastered some of the amazing GC titles and sold it on the Switch like they did with WInd Waker and Twilight on the Wii U. Why would Nintendo go out of their way to sell you a mini GC with 10-20 games at a reasonably price when people still yearn for remastered classics of that era? Not only that, GC sold less than the OG Xbox and regardless of however many great games live on it, very few people, especially mainstream people, consider that a classic system.

Here are some counter facts (no matter how you look at it you'll always know it's true) about the Gamecube:

1) It makes a big fuss.

2) Nintendo bless us.

3) Its hardware easily surpass the rest.

4) When it comes to games we'll always get the best.

I wouldn't be so confident they won't do GC. The appetite for remastered (or re-made in the case of Windwaker) games is limited to a few specific titles. Metroid Prime, Zelda, maybe Pikmin. They could easily fill a GC classic with other games, and even if they put the original versions of some of these games on it it's not clear how much that would cannibalize remastered sales. Plenty of people will buy a remastered game even if they can get the original version cheaper, and you sell the remasters before you announce the GC Classic. Just putting out a Smash Melee machine probably sells 500,000 easy. It also didn't sell THAT many fewer than the N64, so I think there's a good shot. Maybe not in the next year or so, but relatively soon.

There are also a fair number of people who played Gamecube games on the Wii, so you can tap that market too.

It's time to open up your heart to let the light shine through.

A "mini" GBA on a Tv could be a pretty sweet deal.

Just put all of this stuff on the virtual console on Switch!

I don't feel like I'm in the target audience for these systems, so I have a hard time picking any of it. I have a fondness for just about every Nintendo system, but with few exceptions (pretty much the Game Boy?) my favorite games are extremely unlikely to make it to any of these rereleases, and I'm not all that interested in Nintendo's first party output barring a few Zelda titles. Even a system with a small library like the N64 is unlikely to get stuff like Forsaken, Doom, Quake 2 and Hexen included in a Mini console.

I'd be way into the SNES Classic if it actually included something like ActRaiser, Dune II, SimCity, Megalomania or any other strategy games of that era, or for that matter a single flight simulator or Desert Strike-like (be it an official Strike series game or one of the many clones, like A-10 Desert Fighter). It doesn't have anything like that, and I have little reverence for the listed games.

Either commit to VC on the Switch or make a mini that does NES/SNES/N64/GBC/GBA.

Isn't not being available on store shelves kind of the hallmark of the Nintendo Classic series?

Also, why do the pro players buy all the copies of Melee? To have backups, or for some more sinister purpose?

I want to see Nintendo cycle their systems so my vote is for a better NES mini.

How about the opposite? A Giant Game Boy!

how about a giant nintendo licensed ps2 slim

I didn't vote. I still own my N64 along with any games I'd want to play on a mini N64 so the urge to have one isn't there yet. However, my vote would go towards a mini GameCube. Never owned one so having one with a collection of the better games would be enticing to me.

You didn't pick yours up when they were available?

Color TV-Game Mini.

Virtual Boy.

An original size Gameboy with games up until the dual screen era. Just jam pack it with games and a rechargeable battery obviously. Oh and a netflix app, (not really). Also give it one of those 3DS 3-d on/off sliders so they can include virtual boy games as well (I'd be really happy to play Telero Boxer again)

A mini Switch.

I think next year they need to make the NES mini available again for everyone who missed it the first time.

A mini-DS would be cute. There are a bunch of DS games I never finished, but returning to them now is tough. Oddly, they exist in a strange middle-ground between iconic limited graphics and modern satisfactory graphics that just feels strange to visit now (sort of like playing 240p YouTube videos). A smaller form-factor and screen-size could actually make it easier to return to for me.

A mini Nintendo Sega Master System would be dope.

The original brick sized Gameboy was the first "console" I ever owned and to took two years saving to get. When it finally died in 2004, it was a very sad day, so I'd like a new Gameboy. Maybe slightly thinner, with a backlight and doesn't require 4 AA batteries, but with the same shades of green screen and an annoying red light that shines in your eyes when the battery needs charging.

Mini GameCube. Make it even smaller than before.

I'll be good when I get my hands on the snes mini.

A pre-loaded GBA with the top titles would be amazing. I don't think they could produce it as cheap because of the addition of a screen and battery, but I would buy ten.

They can make a 2DS for $80. A GBA classic would be cheaper to make since it needs less processing power, no networking stuff, no touch screen etc...

Admittedly there is also the cost of licensing the software and you can't make up the hardware cost on future software purchases, but still, if the 2DS is economical at $80 you could make a GBA classic profitable at the same price or a bit more.

I could do without a Nintendo 64 classic. There simply aren't enough games, and Rare games would more than likely have to go missing.

What I would like to see is a sequel to the SNES Classic, with more games.

Switch is great to be honest but I'd really like to see Virtual Boy since VR is pretty much in trend these days.

Mini power glove.... I'll see myself out...

Virtual Boy. The market's never been hotter.

The original Game Boy has so many gems. I'd love to have a tiny replica with a slew of their hits on it. I'd make my own via 3D printing something and then using a raspberry pi, but I love supporting Nintendo.

N64, don't care about the switch at all and the N64 is the childhood nostalgia console for me.

I'd like to see a mini N64. I didn't play many titles from that console, so getting a chance to experience some of that stuff in a cool package would be nice.

I think Nintendo should "re-issue" a slimmer GameBoy (replica) that is the same size, 148 mm x 90 mm but make it slimmer and just have 20 games on it. Have the ability to play teh game in two mode orgianl reultion and "Max Res" which would be about 1440 x 1300 - chunky vs smooth.

@monkeyking1969: Knowing Nintendo it would be released without a backlight. Monkeyking1969? More like Monkey Paw 1969.

And if you think Nintendo would never release a Game Boy mini without a backlight remember the Sega Game Gear Micro.

Yeah it's Sega and not Nintendo, but let's not pretend that Nintendo is above it.
