Aye, a pspgo can be connected to a TV in seconds, bluetooth paired with a DS3 controller and you can sit back on the couch and enjoy every NES title, as well as about 20 other complete libraries of games on a system no bigger than the NES classic but which also comes with its own screen for portible play of the same, in comparison of ease of use / what it offers, the NES Mini is rather low.

Yea, it's $60 officially, but retailers always only ever stock like 20 of them, then 3rd party retailers start selling them for $200+. 

Also, I said "if you already have a laptop and HDMI cable because they are common household items nowadays" I mean, do you not have a laptop?

True, and it looks awesome, has the super cool NES controler and kicks all kinds of ass all around. I wonder how they did to make the boxes appear in the list.

Would be nice if you could, like, the 960 games on a online catalogue, 1 buck each.

Talking about what other devices can do what is pointless, because besides needing to jump through hoops all those solitions are completely illegal. The NES Classic is the only device available that's made for what it does.

Do they run on the NES Classic emulator, or are they just running a different emulator on the machine?

That's pretty interesting, but pretty pointless at the same time :p

I wonder how long it will be before its running SNES and N64 games.

dude, hate to break the news to you but the VAST majority of people who casually want to play some old Nintendo games are in fact NOT bothering with looking into an emulator on a computer.

The casual market, yes even for retro gaming, wants to just jump in front of the TV with a friend and play some old Castlevania.

Emulation is nice for big retro fans, but its mega inconvenient for people who just want to jump into it quickly on the TV as it's rather inconvenient to get an emulator program and then somehow stream onto a bigger screen 

A lot of people just want something they can unbox and plug into their HDMI TV in 5 seconds and try some old classics out. Its not rocket science. Make no mistake, the NES Classic is not aimed at anyone who bothers with emulation.

I do want to point out that someone like me is heavily into retro gaming and open minded about emulation, however I can easily see the value of a pack in library plug and play system. Emulation can be a pain to transfer onto a bigger television for gaming, sometimes time consuming to set up (even if only a few minutes), AND the vast majority of alternatives (like the Retron 5) do in fact have input lag even with newer TVS.

The NES Classic is pretty nice in that it has virtually no lag and is something you unbox and just, BAM, get going on your new TV

usually with lag though. If you're running a program on one device and then streaming it to another there will almost always be lag, sometimes better or worse

and, again, the whole point of a plug and play system is the virtue of literally taking it out of the box and being ready to game. Emulation, especially for the tiny files of older games, can be fairly quick to setup but if you've never done it before it does take a little time to download a program and then the other files you want. Its certainly not something a casual nostalgic person is going to care to do

anyone pretending the NES Classic doesn't have a logical market is being silly. It does, and even potentially to people who already have the original games or who emulate from time to time. Its aimed at casuals but in terms of function its a very convenient answer to newer televisions that can sometimes respond awkwardly to older devices or streaming

the real question some of you should be asking is: should Nintendo have asked a higher price and just included a much larger library? that seems like the real complaint here from people
