@alwaysbebombing: The implication I got from the flashback scene ("the police are my bitches" and "the way I'm steering this country") is that the guy he stopped is a politician with connections or something.
Actually, I also look forward to hearing more about the internals of this thing, which probably won't come to light until someone gets one and rips it open. Will it be the same NES-on-a-Chip design that's powered a million Famiclones? Will someone figure out a way to solder an SD card slot onto the board for maximum "fun?" What sort of accuracy can we expect from a Nintendo-made device that we aren't getting from all these middle-of-the-mall-ass 72-in-1 multi-consoles?
I've seen it pointed out that the entire list of games on this thing are available on the Virtual Console for 3DS, and that there's a decent chance this is basically 3DS (probably "old" 3DS/2DS) guts running a version of the VC emulator, which makes a lot of sense to me. A 2DS can be had for $70-$80 these days - cut out the cost of the display and shove it in a mini-NES box and here you go.
Of all the references in this game I most appreciated the "Your Body Is A Weapon" one at 56:47, for reasons my avatar should make obvious to those who recognize it.
