NES Mini Update

[Anonymous No.3410796]

>In an interview with La Terrasse ÉNERGIE (translation via Nintendo Everything and LuigiBlood), Nintendo of Canada communications manager Julie Gagnon said the NES Classic Edition will not only include a pixel perfect option that displays each pixel as a square, but also a mode simulating the retro look from a CRT television and an option to display the games in a 4:3 aspect ratio.

This makes this thing a buy for me.

That's determined by how you set your TV, not by how the system outputs its signal.

Also, these are just filters. You can reproduce this via non-licensed emulation, and is a huge point of contention on this board.

I recommend my sister to get this for her younger kids. They love games, but god are they stupid like every 4-7 year is with them.

I don't trust them to not lose a USB, lose Wiimotes, or not break the disc drive with a modded Wii. The only things you can break or lose for the NES Mini are controllers, which are only $10, so it's almost immune to child stupidity. They love NES games too so it works out, and it seems to be like it'll be easy to operate.

I love /vr/, but a lot of you guys care way too much about what other people do with their time and money. Makes for sour conversation.

I'm buying it. I also have a 9 year old daughter who is excited to play it. It's a lot easier to get children into video games when there's a physical dedicated machine to hook it up. She loves games but she isn't going to scroll through endless roms. That's boring. Hooking up a console to play these games is exciting. Know why? Because it's a toy that does something specific. Game consoles are toys. Children like toys. You are all grown men and this machine isn't made for cynical nerds who know how to exploit everything. Get over it.

Not really retro but I'm also really excited to hook up the new NES controller to the Wii U to play Shovel Knight.

You fail to understand that if Nintendo wanted the WiiU virtual console to look exactly like this overblown toy's output, it could.

Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection has terrible input lag. I have it and enjoy it, but it's not perfect. Don't act like one last gen software release and a Steam bundle makes up for the years of mishandling SEGA has done to their IPs.

If you pay one lick of attention to their steam hub they make it pretty clear they've been aware and tacitly supportive of independent emulators and rom sharing all along. Also the NES mini is going to have the same lag for you because it's the way you have it hooked up.

somebody should do an official romhack that "mr dream"'s NES batman into a generic superhero

I got ahead of myself

I get why licensed sunsoft games like batman or fester's quest wouldn't be on the nes mini

but why not master blaster or journey to silius or gimmick?

sunsoft barely exists at this point, right? nintendo couldn't make a deal to get those on the machine?

or maybe sunsoft doesn't even exist anymore, and there's no clear owner of the intellectual property, so nintendo doesn't know who to talk to to make a deal

If this turns out popular, then I seriously can't imagine them not releasing a 2nd edition, at least with a different selection of games, if nothing else.

But come on, Nintendo doesn't exactly have the best track record for updated releases... DS had a whopping three semi-unique updates; DS lite, DSi and DSi XL. It's their shtick, and they love to do it again, and again, and again...

Thanks for the link, interesting read.
They were very crafty, but they never explicitly said "there isn't going to be a mini 2.0", but they made it pretty clear no one will be doing anything with nes mini that it can't already do out of the box...

I thought this exchange was particularly interesting:
>(kotaku)Are there plans for other mini-consoles, like a mini-SNES or mini-N64?

>(Nintendo)We have nothing to announce[sic] at this time.

They're testing the waters, clever bastards already have a mini-snes lined out if mini-nes is a success.

But I digress, nothing of what they said precludes the possibility of an updated nes mini 2 with expanded capabilities, but time will tell.

you people really dont get it eh?

95% of the population dont care about emulation.. in the traditional sense of downloading a emulator and roms on the computer and playing it with some 3rd party controller, period. No one can be bothered with that bullshit.

People want simplicity, plug and play, original hardware-esque

people dont want to have to "hack" a wii, and do all this other bullshit to play the games, hell, most people probably dont even remember any other games than the ones being provided on the mini-NES.

for $60 it's going to be a huge comercial success. i guarantee it. Mark my words, in mid-december nintendo's stock price will be 10-15% higher than it sits right now.

Poor fags bitching about emulators and 3rd party controllers obviously have no use for stock market information, but still. you watch.

Most of the NES games I care to play are loaded onto this mini. The NES as a whole does not really interest me, and even as a collector I don't find much need to own the majority of "essential" carts.

This machine puts everything I need in a tidy package, with HDMI input, and HDTV compatability. As I've said in other threads, I do not have a CRT monitor, nor will I ever be buying one. There simply is not room alongside any of my HDTV's. So this is the best possible solution.

Hit the nail on the head. I have a computer hooked up to my HDTV I emulate on, I have a crt in a backroom with an nes hooked up, but I also have a TV out in my garage next to my work bench that I like to chill at on summer nights or when a buddy needs to use some of my tools. I'm not buying another computer or nes to put in a workspace where it could get damaged, especially when those 2 options would cost more than the nes mini. Not having to move a computer in and out whenever I want to play out there will be nice.

I could get a wii, but I'd still want to buy a controller, or adapter, and batteries, and a charge pack and station, and it'd cost about the same, and all I'd end up with is a couple of extra games I might want to play in short sittings.

>Tell that shit to Higan

Higan is primarily an SNES emulator. The SNES and NES are an entire generation apart. Obviously the NES, being an older and less complex machine, has considerably lower requirements for accurate emulation.

Low-level, cycle-accurate NES emulators like Nestopia and Nintendulator have been around since the early-mid 2000s. In 2016, putting a low-cost ARM SoC in a miniature NES replica enclosure running a decent NES emulator is nothing to write home about. The fact that the NES Classic Edition mysteriously omits Castlevania III is probable evidence that Nintendo fails to see the value in developing a more faithful emulation of its own hardware, and there's no way it would borrow from an existing free software emulator for fear of violating the GPL when it fails to release the source to its own variant.

On the other hand, the SNES is considerably more demanding to emulate, even on modern PC processors (as higan/bsnes has long demonstrated). However, I wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo puts out an SNES Classic Edition with 30 popular games, none of which require more than an Snes9x degree of emulation accuracy.
