I am semi-interested in this if it can be modded to play all NES games and the emulation is top notch. Recently bought a new PC and screen though.

The interest in this is what made me post about a streaming service for games, btw. :)

How do you get a streaming service from this? O.o What made that connection?

Would you like a Mini Sega Genesis? Perhaps with games like Sonic 2 & Knuckles, Phantasy Star 4, Castlevania: Bloodlines, and 27 other beloved Sega classics?

That way, we could actually have *real* Nintendo vs. Sega, with wonderful games on *both* sides.

i am pretty sure it wil be modded
how long that will take though is anybodies guess

we dont even know if its new hardware
a stripped down wii ( if its a stripped down wii it should be easy to mod it )
or a stripped down 2DS

i wil be getting this 11 nov though
megadrive
and it already exists its crap though the emulation is off and the build quality horrible

There's a difference between defending yourself and engaging in mutual feces flinging. "Other people will think" - No one thinks what any of you are doing is ok. Not you, not them, but maybe only the popcorn eaters. They're not spreading negativity.

It would also be an emulator but you would have the entire NES library to play instead of ~20 good games and 10 you don't want.

One question:

If your main interest is in emulating NES games not in the collection, why not just get a Raspberry Pi? It's cheaper, even with the need to get an SD card. (The Pi has HDMI output and is powered by USB, just like the Mini NES is supposed to.) Plus, you don't have to do anything tricky to run custom software on the Pi.

(By the way, if you are just now thinking of getting one, get either the Raspberry Pi 3 or the Raspberry Pi Zero; the other models should be considered obsolete for new users and are only there for those who need the older version for some reason.)

double post, this forum is glitchy af for me.

The emulation being off wouldn't have bothered me as much as it doesn't allow you to even save your game in RPG's.

hm i dunno about that though
the idea may kinda have some merrit but i dont think there will be much of a market for it

(I know I took this quote a bit out of context.)

One advantage of getting the games in a collection is that I get to play games that I would not have bought individually.

(Side note: I have never owned a Kirby game, and I only played a bit of one on somebody else's Game Boy.)

To a point there would be; maybe only 50-60 games for the casual gamer.
But for me personally, and other more hardcore retro people it would be so cool to have access to all the hidden gems and rarities, preferably with hacks and translation patches being distributed as well like Sega are doing on Steam now.

Why didn't you refuse to touch the gameboy? It's obviously a sexist name for a console.

From what I can tell the Pi is not good enough for emulating later systems like N64, DC, etc.? Also I'm not sure NES emulators scale correctly with that, but I haven't tried it. As I said I just bought a new PC with a gaming screen though, so I should be good!

If it's based on virtual console, the NES emulation is going to be a bit off too.
