It's super annoying though.
The least they could have done was provided a toggle option to turn it off.

NS, SNES Mini and NES Mini = modified Ouyas confirmed.

Wii & WiiU having V.C. didn't deter the NES Mini being a grat success. I mean, I've never bought a single VC game, but I've bought both NES and SNES Mini.

I don't get why anyone would care about this. The first product was a limited edition item. The SNES, though Nintendo has promised sell more, is in a similar situation. These "consoles" are collectibles. They are played for the games. It wouldn't make sense to have the first NES be less powerful, since the only reason the two were different in that respect, was because of technological limits of their times.

These games won't have that nowadays. Our phones can play games 1000 times more advanced, so who believes they'd invest money in developing two different technologies when pretty much anything can handle the best of the N64, much more the SNES or NES.

The price hike is for licensing the non-first party game. The publishers and Nintendo want to make money, hence why they are selling this. It's not rocket science. If you are collector and would like to play retro games on an HD screen, you are in luck. If you are looking for some new console experience, move along.

SNES games have been on NES Mini for months now. Also Game Boy, GBA, Genesis, N64 and the list goes on and on and on... =P

Cool. I didn't know that.

Mines are on their way... I might actually open one this time!

This is the GC to Wii all over again. Fucking bullshit Nintendo!

As emulation goes doesn't seem that great. I'd quite like a NES and SNES mini but more as collectable ornaments rather than to actually use. I think Starfox 2 has been extracted now and running on other emulators.

Why would/should they make different hardware for it? Were people expecting original SNES hardware? I don't get it.
