Timeys new consol

Go on Timey. A true gamer would buy it in a heart beat

Haha. Still got the real thing and it works, maybe I should stick it on ebay

Thats old news and i would not want that even at a freebie i find it hard enough playing games from a few years back never mind 30 odd .

Look nice on the shelf in your man den

You should know Swanny I'm not that keen on Retro Gaming and have struggled to understand the backward Compatibility argument which are aimed at many a new console.

Its nice to play your previous games but personally i upgrade to see vast amounts of graphical improvement and games that wouldn't play on the previous console.

And like you so far i think this generation has been very underwhelming and it doesn't surprise me that both Microsoft and Sony are having some serious upgrades after 3 years.

What my boyfriend liked about the old games was the difficulty. He loves the fact that he can now go back (as older) and play the same games he struggled with as a kid and play them all pretty well and actually finish them. It goes to show that his "gaming skills" have increased immensely since back then.

I read from the article that the console now features a "save" function that lets you save your progress throughout the game? This somehow defeats the purpose by going back to the tough games for the increased challenge, but I can understand that for the "new" generation, this is a great addition. Perhaps I can start using the save function and then gradually turn it off. Unfortunately, most of the true tough games back then are not included on the Nintendo Mini console

Still, I am definitely buying it on launch day

Doesn't really appeal to me, I recently got my NES out of the attic and had a few goes on Mario, it was fun but really wouldn't want to play it anymore than that. The not saving was extremely frustrating IMO. Thankfully things moved on from that.

Oh your a girl,apologies i was guessing you was a He which in this day and age you still could be

A replica of a machine from the 80s.looks amazing a really sweet but why in 2016 would any gamer of our age bracket want to be playing 8 bit games from the 80s.

I don't know why companies continue to give us constant remakes of games and retro games from 30 years ago.

The only people that will have any interest in this sort of device is kids under 10 and i think parents will buy this unit as stocking fillers for Xmas and thats about the target audience.

I mean The Mini Nintendo Nes comes preloaded with 30 Nintendo classics from the 80s and i think I'm right in thinking it costs about £49.99.

Timey I guess I am 9 years old

every year or so I fire up snes9x and play some snes games mario world I cannot resist playing again and again.

The problem with what nintendo are doing tho is they been greedy, these games on their store are way overpriced.

Mario world, starfox, zelda a link to the past, super mario kart, sonic the hedgehog, and more are works of art. Games made with a passion and very fun to play.

Now funny enough this new mini console with the 30 games is cheaper than buying 30 games of their digital store, which says alot about their online pricing as this is physical goods.
