Normies. Both of my older sisters have asked me about this after seeing it mentioned on Facebook, they don't play video games at all, except maybe some Words with Friends or similar on their phone. They've asked me about this since they know I like video games, and they want them for their nostalgia kicks and to introduce these games to their kids. It's not made for people like us who emulate or play on real hardware with real cartridges or flash drives. This is for the normies who will see an NES with games on the box for cheap and want that nostalgia fix. Nintendo has to make up those lost Wii U sales somehow.

[Anonymous No.3396071]

I still think it's cute how TVs got bigger and, at least this particular console, is getting smaller. Makes things look even more disproportionate on display

yeah, I was asking what the motivation was. I kind of have a gut feeling this controller will be cheap crap, but others have pointed out that in the past Nintendo has a bit of a track record of solid controllers. So I'm curious why people lean one way or another

The fact that it's based on the NES and not the Famicom should show everyone that it's a moneygrab.

I don't follow. How would selling a replica of a system never sold in a market not be a cash grab, but selling a replica of the one actually sold be one? And what does any of that have to do with the japanese market?

[Anonymous No.3396163]

>>3396146
If Nintendo had more interest than quick money they would make a Famicom styles system first.
This one is akin to some Sega branded shit sold in Brazil.

[Anonymous No.3396167]

>>3396163
again, why? The famicom was never sold in the US, so why sell a replica of it there? It has no meaning on that market.

>This one is akin to some Sega branded shit sold in Brazil.
How? What difference do you attribute to NES vs. Famicom other than different markets?

[Anonymous No.3396168]

>>3396167
The important part isn't that they're selling a NES replica but that they aren't selling a Famicom replica. Not in the US, not in Japan, nowhere.

[Anonymous No.3396171]

>>3396168
Is it a NoA project by any chance? Different markets can have their own products, why do they have to do all of them? The japanese market may have a different relationship with the famicom, and it was available at a different time. Why does Nintendo have to do something globally that is not a global thing?

Also, to go back to the original claim: How is it a money grab to release remake of one market's console on that market, but it would not be a cash grab to do it with all the variants? I mean, that would open it up to a wider audience, making it even more of a cash grab. So why would that not be one?

[Anonymous No.3396173]

>>3396171
Exactly. It's for stupid Americans and not proud Japanese.
If Nintendo doesn't release something in Japan then you can be pretty sure that it's not worth it.

Look at this shit, I made the exact same thing Nintendo is selling, except that it's in a real NES case, has well over 100 NES games (as well as arcade and every relevant console up to 5 gen), and 4 player support. And it's got a raspberry pi in it.

It's more meme-y than using a pc, but it stays permanently hooked up to a crt and looks nice. The original LED and power switches even work.

I don't know. If it can be hacked(likely cause Nintendo made the easiest to hack system ever aside from a psp) I'd take one. Realistically the data probably isn't super protected, but the major set back will be when people realize that Nintendo didn't go to emuparadise and pick out 30 games. It's not going to be as easy as connect it via USB, select "display hidden files and folders", then drag and drop a rom pack. I would imagine it's the same as the VC, launches with and emulator that's tweaked on a per game basis. It'll probably involve that injection thing homebrew users were doing a couple years back, which had mixed results.

Although, if it somehow ends up being able to play most games near accurate I'd get one. I have a computer with hdmi out, and good USB controllers. But assuming the nes mini is great for $60 I'd get

>aesthetics
>looks like an nes but in a cute size without destroying an nes
>solid controllers that work natively and feel like nes controllers
>gui designed for games
>boots directly into a game list that's controller cobtrolled

Main thing would honestly be appearances. It'd look nicer on my shelf in my living room than an original nes that's been hacked up.

PI seems solid too. You'd get more function out of one, but I don't think whatever case you find for it will look as nice.

But in the end, I have a computer with hdmi out which will do more than the nes mini. I also have an nes, flashcart as well as physical copies of games, and a crt, which is an impossible combination with a pi or nes mini without extra hardware.

I've got the best of both worlds. I'd still like one for the novelty, ease of use, and I could easily take it to a party or over my little cousins house, where if it gets damaged or stolen its less of a loss or hassle compared to my better options.

It's gonna suck. If one of many of nintendo's contemporaries made a similar product, it could be so much better.

Capcom, EA, Taito, Apogee, etc, maybe they'd just have to be a little open and include some titles from one/some of their peers. A side scrolling shooter expanded to 16:9 aspect ratio could be particularly neat.

And unlike things like those esoteric, quirky nintendo CPUs, light x86 chips are widely available, and intel quarks are quite cheap.

And if they made one that used a joystick, it would actually have an obvious unique characteristic going for it, a distinction over emulated downloadables for consoles

A: Because then you'd buy pre-owned carts instead of buying the same game over and over to emulate on each of their current gen consoles.

Of course not. This is precisely why every other store in Akiba is a retro video game shop, many specializing in the Famicom and SuFami. It's also why one of the highest rated and popular television shows (which debuted in 2003 and is STILL on) is basically the Japanese equivalent of MST3K only with mostly old Famicom titles. (And no robots, sadly.)

I can't understand why anyone would think Japan gives a shit about retro gaming.

Well that really depends on what you would consider your golden age for gaming when growing up, most people would place it on whatever their first console is, for some thats the NES, for others that's the Playstation, some of us even grew up on PC's exclusively.

The retro cutoff I'd place at 199 though, but that probably will be pushed forward soon to include the Playstation 2 soon.

Honestly, I'd be fine with this concept if it were an N64 plug-n-play a la the iQue that China got (but modeled after the actual N64 with multiple controller slots, of course). That was such a fucking neat concept and it's a lot more sensible since the NES can be emulated on actual calculators. The N64, on the other hand, is not nearly as readily available for play as even the SNES

95% of the population who has any sort of interest in these games could not be bothered to download some emulator and play the games over a computer or a hacked wii etc.

For most, even if you told people step by step instructions once they realized what it was to play these games they'd just be like ehhhhh..don't worry about it.

People want to feel original hardware and have it super simple to use. Plug in the power and an HDMI cord and you're playing the classics on original Nintendo hardware.

Not, sit in this computer chair, here's an Xbox 360 controller, and don't mind the input lag.

There were a bunch of decent Apogee developed/published games.

Death Rally, Alien Carnage, Raptor, Stargunner, Blake Stone, ROTT, Duke Nukem 3d, a bunch of quirky expansions for Duke3d - 1 or maybe 2 of which presumably would be decent, Shadow Warrior, Blood, Paganitzu, Commander Keen 4&5 and Terminal Velocity.

It seems like largely a question of what else in addition to most of those they could secure to top it off. And those happened to be characteristically gamepad friendly games, though some titles, like Raptor, ROTT, and Alen Carnage could obviously benefit from a few extra buttons on top of the basic 4.

So it's not impossible to imagine a competitor to nintendo's cute and friendly little offering.

This would have more of a curiosity-based selling point, people can trivially check what nintendo games were like, even if they didn't know already.

I've tried out the one I've had since they were brand new again after many years.. I have to say, I think very highly of it.

The downside - the D-pad is stiff, especially in the down direction, along with buttons 3 and 4, after all these year. I know that the buttons weren't always like this, I'm presuming the D-pad has gotten worn too. Generally though, it's very allright.

Comparing it to a gravis gamepad...the dpads are opposites of each other, the same way the thrustmaster dual analog 1 and 3 d-pads are opposites. The gravis dpad is awfully flimsy, like the analog-3, going in diagonals way too easily. The capcom dpad on the other hand is firm like the analog-1's, and similarly similarly quite corner-y, potentially causing thumb soreness; it also might have a bit of the opposite diagonality issue, possibly failing to respond if not pressed firmly.

It has one other disadvantage over the common gravis, neither of the switches. Not being able to switch the "A" button to function as button 2, instead of the "Y" button is less convenient for 2 button games. And handedness switching, for whatever reason.

I'll declare it must be very useful to dig up ... if you'd ever consider transplanting the electronics to a new controller in the likelihood that it's hopelessly worn out by now.

there's 2 ways

one is using the hdmi port, you can configure it to output 240p, then you use a converter to get component or whatever you want. the converter may add lag.

the other way is outputing video through the GPIO pins, look for the gert vga 666 board. you can also configure this to output 240p VGA and then convert it to another analog format if you want, the converter won't add lag because it's analog to analog

Yeah, but on the flipside, this is cheaper than what they're charging for their old games otherwise, although there is the whole absolutely noncustom macrobundle catch, and it introduces a limitation for what they can do later.

Ironically, the most exciting thing about the NES mini is not the thing itself, but anything that comes after it.
See that logo? They didn't just make that for shits and giggles. This is clearly the beginning of a series. So what comes next? Well, maybe a Gameboy mini or whatever, but in any case the SNES mini will follow.
And that means brand new first-party controllers. The best retro controller aside from maybe the Sega Saturn controller. Gone will be the days of scouring ebay hoping to get a replacement that doesn't fucking suck.
And even tough the wiimote plug for those new controllers will be basically guaranteed, you can just open the controller and replace the new parts with your old ones or just buy an adapter and be done with it anyway.

It's a good time to play retro games, lads

A legit way to play NES games outside of owning the actual cart console, which as it gets older, is harder to keep in working order.
I think it's a cool I idea and my only gripe is that it won't support more than the 30 games it already has.
Yeah, we have emulation, and I have been down that road, but I really do feel better having an official brand plastic box next to my TV.
Emulation has just never felt right to me, and I don't mean that because of legal reasons.
Long story short, Nintendo is just getting in on the plug and play market, just like Sega and Atari, etc.

This. I grew up in the late 90s with restrictive as fuck parents on video games until I was about 12, so my first biggest interaction with games proper was Sixth Gen, (which we can't talk about here because it's not retro enough or something but good luck getting /v/ to talk about PS2 or Gamecube for a while) besides sleepovers and the odd N64 matchup or PS1 tryouts. SNES seems like this odd thing that people did and I barely got to try once with an old CRT and Starfox back in 99, and it's this closed-away treasure trove of games everyone gets nostalgic for and I have no reference with despite being alive then.

At least NES games I can say I tried some of on all the consoles it released on, but SNES is this void of five years, (and Genesis too I suppose) that I know dick about, save Link to the Past on GBA.

My first consoles were the 2600, NES, and DMG-01 Gameboy.

I'd say retro gaming right now is everything pre-PS2/Xbox/GC generation.

I'd also say that the PS3/Xbox360/Wii generation and up should never be considered "retro" gaming. They'll get old but they'll never get "retro".

Eh i would disagree it's a shit way to do it. It's about fulfilling that little creative itch and the raspi is a cool tool. Retropi is a good image for running roms and works great especially on the later Pi's.

That being said, there is something about having an official product to play these games with, and because of that I am getting one. The selection of games is great and the size is a bonus. And at the risk of sounding like a shill >>3423247 is right about one thing. I look forward to nintendo doing their own classic revival. If they did a mini snes classic It would most likely be a guaranteed buy because that's where most of my fond memories lie.

I'm just saying, Nintendo has already a fairly successful NFC based line of goods, and that one dude earlier in the thread showed that NFC is indeed a smart mechanism to switch things. Someone else mentioned that thing has storage, and of course it needs some kind of non-NES interface to select the game. So, I don't know shit, I'm not a marketer.

Knowing my wife, I feel confident that she will enjoy this, and my 4yr old daughter will gain some enjoyment from it too because it will be easy for her to operate as most nintendo stuff is I'm sure.
