I'm going to get one, so whatever. I think they don't need to sell a lot to have profit. I expect more than 1 million easily.

EDIT: Just checked here in VGC, the Wii version of Super Mario All-Stars sold 2.59 million copies. People like to buy this kind of stuff, so I'm expecting this Nes mini to sell more, especially because the console is cute and the perfect christmas gift for non-gamers. I might buy one for my mom and 4 yo niece.

And as I said in the other thread, my FB is flooded with chicks freaking out about this.  I think it's a massive hit.

$60.

Agree, but this will but also and some hard core gamers because it's very cool, not to mentione Nintendo fans.

Some people dont realise that this cost only like full price of one AAA game, it sell in milions.

-Nintendo won E3 with Zelda, most mentione E3 game on social networks, most awards, hype for Zelda was same like for Wii back then.

-Nintendo mobile game becoming most successful mobile game ever.

-Nintendo releasing NES Mini with built in 30 games for $60, gets huge attention of gaming industry, almost evre comment that I saw saying "day one" and "I hope SNES Mini and N64 Mini are next".

-Next most likely we will have NX reveal with great new NX games, after that theme park revile..

This was planned all along from Nintendo, market to be much more aware of Nintendo and their IPs, they expanding their business and actualy strengthen their core business in that way, so they not leaving hardware market.

More like 30 years.

Don't like the concept much and not sure how well the games will run. The licensed Sega consoles were based on emulation and often didn't feel quite the same as true megadrive games for example. The sound was worse.

If I was conceiving a NES console like this I probably would have gone for LED projector output. The NES game resolutuion was very low and such a projector design is incredibly cheap. They could have still produced this console with projector output and sold for the same $60 price. That product could have been taken anywhere and not need to be connected to an external display and easily battery powered for long hours. It would have been a greater novelty item plus with both wired controllers and built in display output it could have kept the gamepad response lag down to CRT levels making the games feel more responsive as per the original NES console connected to a CRT display.

People will soon get bored of the 30 games, be unimpressed with the graphics etc. This is for collectors, nostalgia/retro fans only. I think it will sell well enough to justify its existence but I don't see high numbers at all. I think it will sell higher than the Sega or Atari retro consoles purely because its an actual Nintendo product and based on one of the most successful consoles.

Also surprised how large it is. You could make a NES console nowadays like that the size of a Matchbox. If Nintendo had made it smaller it could be more a display item for cabinets too and if super nintendo and N64 versions are produced later they could all be displayed together on people's mantel pieces etc. The circuit board inside is probably tiny with the hdmi connector taking up a huge part of it.

I'm pretty sure it want have any sound or fps problems, Nintendo pay attention on things like those espacialy for VC games, you already have VC games and they are working great.

Who care if people bored after 30 games, this is $60 console not $300, and for that price has great value, basicly full price of one AAA game is $60. Just number of collectors, nostalgia/retro fans and Nintendo fans is huge, but definitely some casuals will bought this also because it's cool and cheap, great for holiday present.

How large it is!? Its smaller than NES cartridge, its have size of 4-inch mobile phone with only bigger height, its basically size of NES controller like you can see on pictures. It look like is size of package of cigarettes, you cant relly say that is large.

Have on mind that this is women hand

If you bought all these games on the VC (not even sure if all of them are available but I know most are) that would be 30 x 5 = 150.  This is going for 60.  Seems like a deal to me considering it is hardware, controller and 30 games.

I wouldn't. And this is a closed system that will play no other games

Yea, that is one major flaw that I see.  They should have included a special slot that used some sort of specialized SD format (hopefully not Vita SD price nightmares) to allow future purchases of games perhaps in a 10 pack bundle or series bundles.

It seems large to me because the NES is such an old product. Using the latest technology you could  produce a console of xbox 360 performance level smaller than that if you removed the disc drive and hard drive and just relied on flash memory. I personally would have prefered it smaller, about a third of the size. I think this would have been even more collectable and desirable.  To be honest they probably could have put all the electronics in the NES controller and done a wireless connection to a hdmi dongle that plugs into the tv.
