Famicom mini announced in japan

TotalInsanity4 · Sep 30, 2016

I really, really, really hope this becomes a thing. I'd love to see an entire official line of "mini" consoles from Nintendo, considering how cheap they are compared to the originals, and that they could potentially be enhanced with online play 'n stuff

yeah would be nice xD imagine a mini 64 lololo
but well nintendo is just (badly) doing what pirate stuff where doing for ages :/ the visual is better ok, but it's limited.. you can get an emulator console (or a raspberry custom thing) that can do the same and more ... why don't give all the nes games library once? XD or idk, mini 30 games-cheap cards? :B
and wii mini was a shit and not even mini

Except this is straight from Nintendo and isn't piracy.

Even tho the majority of the games are shit, their still neat collector items.

Nintendo doesn't own most the games to sell. Besides, this way they get to release a New NES/Famicon Miini with another 30 games.

I hope they won't stop to the mini NES! I really want a mini SNES and a mini N64

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

The Mini 64 will probably not happen anytime soon. If one is released, it will most likely be via emulation and not cycle accurate meaning games like DK64 will never run on it without bugs and slowdowns

It would be good enough for Mario Party, Mario Kart, and Super Mario 64 along with some 3rd party games.

Surely adding any functionality to a nostagia-baiting, plug and play emulation box would destroy its profit margins and actually make it less desirable to the masses?

I'm glad Nintendo haven't hobbled or confused this by setting up an online infrastructure around it. Keeping it super simple and cheap is the way to go and anything else would be missing the point.

I mean, imagine buying an electronic toy in 2016 and not having to mess around with navigating menus, wifi passwords, setting up accounts, firmware updates and all of that. The future is almost here.

You're actually pretty much paraphrasing what some guy at Nintendo said for why it's not including internet.

Like the NES version, it also come with a collection of 30 games, HDMI, but the controllers can't be detached and used "wii classic controller" .

Way too faithful to the original for my tastes.

this is the case, thye should do better than piracy with the content, not worse XD and actually, famicom/nes system are now public domain, an fake console that run the game can't be called piracy... but with the games it still xD

future? just like before consoles went online and needed to get updates? xD

I'm almost sure it's for not messing the order of 1 and 2 controller, since controller2 don't have start/select and have a mic ... they made it like the original so ...
This is why they show game like zeld with the disk system artbox, the disk you needed to yell (or blow) at the mic to kill that rabbit monster, later cart version not (maybe because the famicom AV ? the one that became ne stop loader, but without AV output XD)

at least is how I can figure it ... I like more the famicom controller design, would be nice to have it to be used outside XD

tatumanu · Sep 30, 2016

OMG it looks soo cute! I hope the controllers are not wired directly to the console, thats one details i would prefer off this version!

Have you ever seen Nintendo's iQue Player from 2002? Many claim it performs better than an original N64! Its not a cute mini N64, but a N64'ish controller with a N64 on a Chip inside for the Chinese market.

civickm · Sep 30, 2016

OMG I want one!!!

the controlers are on the board :/ just like the famicon I guess (it detachable but need to open it :v )
yeah I herad about the Ique, I dream to get one and a R4 like cart for it XD (or a way to pass injected rom to it via the usb/pc connection stuff the newer version had... not sure if someone already made a way for it )
These shoube be more popular :v

oh, I've corrected the source on OP :v

Yeah! front page! XD
