I would consider it... but honestly, 30 games with no expansion possibility is pretty light.... Although if I knew they were going to come out with one or a few more 30 game units, I would probably buy/collect them all.
I am in the process of finishing my basement and my plan is to have a CPU with an emulator hooked up to the main TV with usb NES controllers (and also Sega) with every game playable. I still might go that route

dude, nintendo included some of the biggest titles they ever released on the console on this thing. if you were to price out an NES console and all of the games included on ebay (huge market right now for NES games), this would easily be a $400-$500 package deal if you wanted to go that route.
$2 a game with this option, $10 for a second controller. this is a no brainer for anyone that is on the fence.
nintendo is not going to be able to make enough of these. nice to see them finally wake up. they could have and should have done this a couple years ago.
SNES to follow. you can practically guarantee that.
There is at least already a Nintendo console that takes old games from both the original NES and Super Nintendo. I had one (my ex took it), and it worked great. We bought all the old games at one of those gamer stores - $1 - $20 a game. none hard to find - and they all worked in the NES/SNES combo console. I'm sure you can still easily find one of those. There are actually a couple of different kinds. I'm not sure if Nintendo itself actually made one, or if other companies just did themselves. Just google Nintendo combo console and see what you can find. If you want more than 30 old games now, this is the way to go about it (though it will be more expensive, since you need to get the games individually).

Agreed. Looks like I may be one of those "crazies" waiting in line early or hunting one down this year. SNES - I will buy that too. It's a sickness I know.

Yeah you can get one of those two in ones off Amazon. Definitely not licensed by Nintendo haha. It's a nice option I guess, I just like using the old consoles as is. The consoles are actually reasonably price on eBay. People make their money off the games and the prices just keep going up and up. A lot of collectors are hoping this release will pop the retro market's bubble, but I don't see that happening.
Almost 700 officially licensed games on the NES, and while these 30 are huge titles, they are common games that all collectors already have.

Yeah, the old consoles work too. Though I honestly didn't find that there was any difference between the them and the dual things. Exact same functionality, exact same controllers (I had the one that really looked like the original too). I'm pretty pissed that the ex made off with it, considering that I'm the one who bought it.

Because im a nerd, i have played most of these titles in recent years on emulators on smartphone and cpu. I still own multiple nes systems and most of these games, some in duplicate. Even then, im on the fence about this, but leaning no. The promise of more expandible titles or a "sequel" 60 dollar system with 30 more games and it would be a no brainer i think.

nah, i get it. i own most of these games as well on original console. the selling point for me is the HD compatibility. a lot of people are now mod'ing their old NES consoles for HD and i have seen video, side by side comparisons of non-HD and HD and it's amazing how great 8 bit games can look in HD
here is a video review of an NES that was modified for HD. pretty sweet... too bad the people making these are asking like $400 for them!

Tecmo Super Bowl (licensing probably an issue) RBI Baseball (same thing) Contra RC Pro Am Baseball Stars Ice Hockey Blades of Steel Bionic Commando Metal Gear Pro Wrestling
Overall, it's a solid list of games
Double Dribble!
E. Lansing-98 Columbus-00,03,10 Detroit-00,03 (1&2),06, 14 Cleveland-03,06,10 Toledo-04, Grand Rapids-04,06 London-05, Toronto-05, Indianapolis 10, East Troy (1&2) 11, Chicago 13, Detroit 14
While Blades was excellent, it always annoyed me that you couldnt elevate the puck. Nintendo Ice Hockey gets the nod over it, so much fun to play.
team fat guys!!!
I always went with 1 skinny guy, 1 Medium guy and two Fat dudes to blast away from afar.
I think I had the same lineup as well. Hahaha. I'd love to play that game right now! I was so good at that game back in the day. Pretty sure I'd be awful now.

RC Pro Am! I forgot about that one. That was next to impossible.

The only bad thing about Tecmo Bowl is no licensing from the NFL. Start doing your research on Ronnie Lott and L.T.'s number. I just hope that it's the version that had Eric Dickerson on the Colts instead of Albert Bently (a hell I was subjected to ... Yet I still owned all the fools)
Otherwise you are going to try to figure out who Eagle's QB # 12 is. (For the rookies)

Very smart for NES to do this. I hope they have the ability to do more. I most likely will buy this thing, Im sure.
