| StuOhQ said: I think this is a good way for Ninty to pull some extra cash come November (they don't really have anything else for the Holidays). Without cartridge support, or even the ability to add more games, this is more of a novelty toy - like the ones released by Sega - than a viable retro device. |
for a casual looking to play fun retro games on their newer TV without any hassle then this is sort of a bargain. You'd pay like 300$ or more to get an original NES with all of these games at this point.
I think its a great idea and mega convenient. for me I will probably stick with gaming on an original NES however this would be a perfect buy to give the rents so they can easily play some old Mario or Galaga on a newer TV without having to mess with converter cables I've given them.
a convenient HDMI connection is definitely valuable here because for a lot of newer TVs it can be awkward playing old systems on them (lag, weird resolution, etc). I think thats where the value is. That and the solid library for so cheap
