I like the idea of that mini nes. I might buy it? Not sure.
I'd like something like that that let's me buy old games off the net. I don't want to spend money on Wii U that I'll maybe buy 1 current game for.
You can get a wii for like 30 bucks
Isn't the Wii shop discontinued?
No
Online play is over, the shop is still up
Oh, that's good. Still though, unless you're only interested in 4 or less NES games from that list, or you really want SNES, Genesis, and N64 content too and are willing to pay a bunch more, this thing is still cheaper than getting a Wii since the games are all preloaded.
For those who haven't seen it, the list of NES Mini games
Balloon Fight
Bubble Bobble
Castlevania
Castlevania II: Simon's Quest
Donkey Kong
Donkey Kong Jr.
Double Dragon II: The Revenge
Dr. Mario

It's...really good?
Like I really didn't expect to see Final Fantasy on there, or Tecmo Bowl or Ninja Gaiden, those are really good inclusions

As someone who hasn't bought a single VC game and sold his NES because he was a stupid child
A tiny NES with an hdmi port and save states that comes with an NES controller is really cool and I think 60 bucks is a steal
The controller is what I think makes it worth it.
There's gonna be a ton of parents buying that thing for their kid so they can play old games the way we used to.
Exactly.
The target audience for this thing isn't people who had the Wii/Wii U or kept their old consoles or bought VC games, its people looking for a nostalgia trip and not having to do arcane things to get an older console working on their current TV & a minimal number of peripherals to buy for it (for those unfamiliar with that plug style and missed it upthread, its a Wii Remote controller jack. So if you had any Wii controllers you can plug those in instead of the pseudo-NES controller it comes with).

Several people I know hook up their snes to their hdtv and then when I complain about input lag act confused.
Like, they can't tell that the lag is happening or think it always did that.

I play SNES stuff on an HDTV all the time and like
I don't not believe its happening, too many people say it is for it to be nonsense
But I 100% can't tell and I've 100%ed mario world/DKC2 multiple times on there
Also get back to me when they bring out a mini N64
If the mini NES sells, maybe that'll happen. Mini SNES and mini N64?
I'm in.
I would do AWFUL things for a mini SNES.
As for the Mini NES, I think it'll sell well. It'll make a great nostalgia holiday gift for people who haven't played video games much since they were a kid.
I'm kind of surprised Contra isn't on there, but I'm guessing it was a rights issue?
super C is there, though
Aren't there some weird things with the Contra license though? I thought that's why it's called Super C. I could be making that up entirely but I thought there was some weirdness there.

Megaman 3 was the first megaman game I beat.
That final Wily boss took forever, and as a kid it took ages to figure out that I could Snakeman's powers to shoot snakes into the cockpit. I think I left the game on overnight because we couldn't figure it out.
Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but dies in the process.

As far as I can tell they retitled it Super C in the US for seemingly no reason
I see nothing about rights or any kind of controversy

They just changed the name
Then I am completely baffled as to the absence of Contra.
Normally I wouldn't pay attention to a Neogaf thread nitpicking about graphics but when Nintendo says they're aiming for perfection, then yeah, I'd consider the nitpicks to be valid.
I also don't get why they're aiming for near-perfect emulation. What does that achieve? There were scores of PS1 titles that could be played on the PSP and people more or less seemed happy with that service? I mean, I'm sure there were problems in the emulation here and there but I don't think that caused any major controversies or lost sales.

Nintendo gets a little weird about their legacy sometimes and makes up these weird standards that I think they think people hold them to, even though no one (other than insane weirdos like myself) actually gives a crap.
As an anecdotal note - my co-worker's husband doesn't own a gaming console. He plays some stuff on his phone casually, but certainly wouldn't call himself a gamer. He linked the miniNes on his Facebook, tagging her, to buy him one when they come out. Nintendo is going to hit an audience with this one I think.
Wow that list is my childhood. I will definitely pick that up when it comes out.
For me it is only missing Tetris
Fuck that's a good point. I didn't even think of it because the Game Boy version was my Tetris, but how the hell is Tetris not on there (licensing, I'm sure)

Well, the GB Tetris and Tetris Axis were pulled from the 3DS eShop, so it's most definitely licensing.

I'm glad I got that when I did then because there's no POINT in a Game Boy Virtual Console without Tetris.

Yep, honestly the most exciting thing about this announcement, to me, is the possibility of a mini snes and a mini n64 in the future

I also believe Mega Man 3 to be superior to Mega Man 2.

All the more obvious when you note some of the bgm names and such.

The only reference I found that mentioned the reasoning is liquisearch.com/list_of_regionally_censored_video_games/nes and it does make sense as to why.
