I called it; it makes sense as the NES Mini was already more powerful than Wii/3DS and easily capable of emulating SNES games.

Wow, but makes sense.

The price hike over the NES classic as well, since you get two controllers instead of one and SNES games have more value. They still also had to emulate the super FX chip which they haven't done before.

I wonder how many people will be playing that on a brand new 4K tv. 2160p is 108x the pixels of 240p. Or side by side you could play 12x9 snes games at native res on a 4K screen.

But are modern games 108x better than snes games :p

Yeah,that makes sense. Why use new hardware when it's perfectly capable. It's only a matter of maybe a day before we get SNES Classic hacks.

I kind of feel bad for the people who have to buy the exact same hardware (sans case and controllers) again just to play different games. Though I'm sure it won't take long for people to put the SNES games on the NES mini.

I never bought a NES mini though so I can't wait for my SNES.

So will the N64 Classic use the same hardware? It looks like it can run those games as well.

Preorder canceled.
You let me down Nintendo.

Did anyone expect anything else?

So there really was absolutely no reason to stop producing the NES classic then? They are even bringing it back next year, so what was the point of ever stopping their production. To make the few they actually made as difficult and expensive to get as possible?

Them sweet profits...

Your buying it for the games
