Like the NES how?
It's like the NES in that it's many people's first exposure to gaming and games tend to be very arcade-like.
It's not like the NES in that distribution costs are fantastically low and Apple is much less restrictive than Nintendo when it comes to licensing terms.
It's like the NES in that it's probably the fastest-growing game platform of its time and its attracting a lot of ports and development from other platforms.
It's not like the NES in that it is not a dedicated gaming platform and the hardware manufacturer develops no game software themselves outside of some middleware tools and services.
"The worst part about these reviews is they are [subjective]--and their scores often depend on how drunk you got the media at a Street Fighter event." — Mona Hamilton, Capcom Senior VP of Marketing
