    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.
    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 :lol:

    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!

    whoa. Awesome.

    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.

    Games that should have made the list:

    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

    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.

    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.

    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)

    Still a damn shame Ice Hockey didn't make it ...

    That's a bit misleading. They have had different ones out for years.
