I currently own a famiclone (patent ran out ages ago, so they're super easy to find, like most retro consoles), but I might grab myself one of these for the save state feature <3 to replace the one of have which lacks that. The one I have currently behaves like the original console for the most part so no save function :(. This would be a nice touch! Also the clone I have is very poorly built (really cheap plastic feel all around, not just the console, but the controllers too bleh!)

wich famiclone it is? any photos?

I want a wii mini
if like this FC ok, but don't even dream about wanting an wii mini hahah XD


I knew, just joking XD
It is more sexy than ugly America/Europe NES version.
I agree, I like the FC more than nes XD
I woulk like to have one but maybe if I can get this mini one would be something :v

I wonder about controller size, if they are also mini or mimic the original like the NES one
Edit:
Yeah, looks like it is "mini"

I know Nintendo's doing it for authenticity but would have been awesome if they made the Famicom controllers like the Mini NES ones which you'll be able to connect to a Wiimote. The RRP of Mini Famicom comes down to around £45 and that's less than the Mini NES though with shipping and all it'd cost in total around £80ish.

well when I searched about famiclones what they say is that, that the console is legally to be made XD

I also could make a site saying "Wii has been discontinued by Nintendo so their games are now free to download.
Here's an emulator that works
*insert Nintendo approval picture*

For as long as Nintendo will exist, NES games won't go into the public domain that quickly.

It's not their not making more that menas that the thing is free to use or the patent died ...
And btw :

The hardware for the NES is now public domain. However, software and intangible IPs remain the domain of the creator for (someone check this for me, I think it's 75?*) years after his/her death.

This means it is legal for anyone to replicate the exact hardware specifications of an NES, an NES controller, and NES cartridges, as well as make and sell unlicensed accessories for the hardware, but you still cannot distribute NES games or use the NES branding

Edit:
*I just checked this, and under normal circumstances it is 70 years, but because Nintendo is a company and its games are made for business the copyright protection on them will last between 95 and 120 years after the death of the creator/renewal of copyright

That's the light gun port.
At last it was used for that in Famicoms back in the 80s in Argentina. (But my memory may fail me...)


Not just light guns, though that was certainly the most common use. But check out my Hudson Joycard. Independent 3-speed turbo for each button. Plugs into the famicom's aux port same as a light gun. This was some cutting edge paraphernalia back in those days.

I would love to see a mini N64 with my favorite games like Duke Nukem and Zelda but that will never happen :(
Nintendo still sells Zelda on 3DS/Virtual store for like 30 bucks! and they probably don't own the rights to Duke
Nukem :(

I have a baseball game for Famicom, with some device that goes into the port on the front. I think it's like a memory card, so that you can bring your team to a friend or something... :P

Famicom Battle Box, is the device called :P

it's an expansion port just like all the nintendo consoles had until Wii XD
There a lot of stuff to be plugged there, the most common was the disk system and the the guns I think ... there was even an tape recorder that could be used to save some stuff like custom trail on excitebike (and load in another console ) .
Pretty sure it only to make visual on the mini, like the cart port, I'm almost sure they not gonna open XD

A mini online store via wifi would make a lot more sense.

But it's Nintendo, they never take the logical route for these things, just look at the bad VC pricing system.

NERD made the emulator, not Nintendo, so that's why the visuals/accuracy are much higher this time around.

I'd like that. Never been very fond of the Nintendo 64 but I sure do love Mario Kart 64, Mario 64 and Smash 64.
