its really really really small

but more interestingly
its also really really overpowered
http://arstechnica.com/gaming/2016/11/nes-mini-teardowns-have-begun-chips-identified/

If the chip works as advertised by Chinese manufacturer AllWinner, as opposed to being customized for the NES Mini in any way, then it includes a dual-core Mali-400 GPU which could be powerful enough to pump out as many as 55 million triangles per second (in its 28nm, 500MHz variant). There's also a quad-core ARM Cortex-A7 CPU, which has been clocked at 1.2GHz in smartphones, as well as 256MB of DDR3 RAM and 512MB of NAND flash storage.

thats is some pretty beefy hardware to emulate 35 year old games and run an hdmi upscaler
it might even just be a stripped new 3DS

Great. When I plug it in all the lights in the Keweenaw are going to dim! :P

a small price to pay !

but still this things hardware is a bit over powered maybe

I previously commented this on AT:

This.. thing in 2016.. for 60$ and with only 30 ancient games.. and so many people want it.
Why not the original Snes? Even emulation is better than this joke..
I don't understand people XD

And I still can't understand the hype.
I guess many people will buy it, play it a few times and then abandon it on a shelf.

Sounds good. Now all I need is a definite confirmation that the European version will be in 60hz and this will be a very nice almost-instabuy. I'm also willing to overlook Nintendo of Europe's obsession with not bundling the necessary stuff with their consoles to make them function.

cause buying an actual nes ( or snes) and the 30 games included will cost you more then 60 notes
for a laugh i went on ebay and looked for a nes and games
i gave up after i found 14 games and a nes and that would have cost me 348 euro
thats why people want this thing
for ease of use to have 30 games in one go for the price of a new current game

and ancient games ?
remember where you are yeah ?
there are games on here equally old or even older
until recently gog's main reason to be was old games most likely
nostalgia goggles and 60 bucks is an impulse buy
but thats pretty much all it is


now i want a megadrive version and a snes version

Oh, tinyPad & tinyController, yay for extension leads.
Other than that it looks good, not for me, but one will more than likely end up in the house.

considering its a stripped new3DS with 30 roms i doubt its anything but 60hz

I would have partially* understood the hype only if Nintendo had re-released the original SNES, possibly with some improvements and a discounted big collection of games.
But that mini-NES is like hardware DRM in 2016 for 30 games <1990.
Anyway, Nintendo will never change as long as their fans will continue to accept everything they do.

*still not digital and DRM-free

This must be age then because I could give two shits about the SNES.

I hope so, but I would definitely want a confirmation about that.

Must be age cause I don't give a shit about any of these oldass consoles.

Well, they could have made that SNES 2016 retro-compatible.
Adapters already existed in the past, I think.

It's like this, I am too old to handle a controller with more that two buttons! :P

I want a fucking SHOOT, and I want a fucking JUMP! XD

I am on the fence with getting one of these little guys. I might bite it and get one... AARRGGGGG
