I was initially excited and ready to buy, then I've read the post and realized that this is just cheap plug & play crap you could get for a few bucks. This is nothing to get excited over, it's just another crappy emulation box. You'd think that Nintendo could make a proper hardware clone, except on a SoC to minimize the size, and include a cartridge slot, but no - they went the zero effort route and made a cheap piece of crap to take advantage of your nostalgia and milk your wallet. Shameful display, shame on you, Nintendo!

The controller port is exactly the same as a Wii Classic Controller port so you can always get a cheap one from eBay if you so desire it. I'm surprised Nintendo's using CCP port for it because this is the first time they're doing for retail purposes (otherwise you'd have to connect to a Wiimote).
Perfect Nintendo. Now make an adapter to plug your carts / multiplayer and im sold
I own a mint condition NES so it's obvious I also need to have this.
Interesting, but I've already got a Everdrive N8 and BLW cart tray replacement, with a Hi def Nes Kit coming in the mail tomorrow for HDMI support. So I'll pass.
Unlikely - imagine the extra cost of supporting all the people complaining that their old NES games don't work with the new one, not to mention the massively increased cost of testing the entire back catalog. This way is reliable, simple, cheap to manufacture. That games list is also pretty darn good, ya gotta admit.
Oh yeah, it would cost billions of dollars. That's why I can buy a chinese NES-on-a-chip console for $5 a pop, right? I literally have one, the biggest part of the PCB is the cartridge slot and I've yet to find a single incompatible game. The whole NES fits on one chip connected to an RF modulator - that's it. God knows why it has RF built-in since it has RCA Out anyways. Get real, those things are still being made today, the cost is next to nothing.
Here's my model, except it has slightly different writing on it:

Works like a charm after over a decade.
Yeah, the earlier major NES SoCs had spotty support (I've still got one of the old FC Twin models that has issues with Paperboy, among other things), but they've had at least a decade to improve on those original flaws. Even then, a disclaimer that some games may not work as intended - much like the Virtual Console already does - is more than enough.
Actually, wasn't it one of the Castlevania games that those older clones had issues with? I seem to remember either Castlevania or Castlevania II not working; I suppose whatever they're using to run their emulator doesn't have the same issue.

I have both Castlevania 1 and 2 and they run just fine on my clone, so either it's the third one or a particularily unlucky U.S. clone flaw.
Maybe, or maybe I'm thinking of Castlevana III and its expansion chip. I don't think Castlevania III was ever a permanent part of my collection, though, just borrowed for a few months.
Is this also for American countries, cause i saw the link took me to the UK Site. Also this should be fun for someone parents who just want simple plug and play blast from the past in HD without the hassle of complicating things, of course it would also been cooler if you can dust off the old nintendo carts and use them, maybe even insert the game and copy it to the system from the cart and keep it like that.
It also said is compatibile controller for WII U And WII. You think is just like the WIi mini they started selling a few years ago but just loaded with VC games instead of some new emulator technology?
We all know wii mini has no sd card slot so no exploits will work. Even if exploit would work, the size of the 30 games must be small to fit on storage that means the storage device probably wouldn't have a big file size, probably no bigger than 256 MB Oh well, if someone gets it they will probably mod it. Could be a mod of rasberry pi with micro sd card built in who knows
But for me, i'll stick to my dosenz of emulators on my pc, android, Wii, 3ds. Nice try nintendo, trying to make us buy the same mario game for every new console that comes out. In the age of remasters, you failed with Super mario all-stars for the wii during your 25 mario anniversary celebration. Your mario reign won't last forever.

I might buy it, 60 bucks is cheap enough and it comes with a lot of nice old games. Plus I am sure some one will try to hack it to add more games in some way. SD card support for adding more games would be fantastic, but I really doubt Nintendo would be that cool.
Those custom ports are kinda bad... But if they built the pads as good as the original NES you will only ever need 2 as the build quality on the originals, they where almost indestructible.

kek.
You're better off buying a NES clone, or a cheapo Android console.
Hell, even a Raspberry Pi would get infinitely better value than this. $35 and you get access to Atari 2600->PS1. Hell, even some PSP games are runnable on a Pi 3. Just buy a NES-styled case and bam, your nostalgia boner can be yanked at the same time
