    Hmmm, I remember reading about this. I was excited about it. That said seeing how American official price is $60 USD, wouldn't it be much better to wait till Amazon US stock it?

    • abc on 15/07/2016 - 09:32

      US one probably won't be compatible as they are in NTSC not PAL.

      • ryang on 15/07/2016 - 09:34

        Compatible in what sense? Most TVs will happily play NTSC now….

        Who doesn't have a TV which does both these days?

      • iridiumstem on 15/07/2016 - 09:38
        +6

        Would it matter? Sorry for sounding completely clueless (I completely agree that I am), but I thought those standards were for analog TV. Would the fact that it uses HDMI bypass that somehow as, as far as I know, it is digital (again, apologies for sounding completely clueless)?

        • Pootie Tang on 15/07/2016 - 10:03

          NTSC all good these days on TV especially if its HDMI. It's the 110V that may cause an issue. You may need a cheap transformer to step down our voltage 220/240v-110V. I imported a Dreamcast years ago and had to do that. A basic power outlet convertor will not do this.

        • iridiumstem on 15/07/2016 - 10:09

          @Gringoesai: Since people have mentioned local model is AUD $100, I don't think a lot of people would go for even US model, that said, apparently it uses USB for power. I assume that voltage wouldn't be an issue.

        • supnigs super skids on 15/07/2016 - 10:32

          Pal is 50fps. Ntsc is 60. It's matters when games play slower

        • XeKToReX on 15/07/2016 - 12:57

          @Gringoesai:

          This is powered by USB from what I read this morning.

        • Pootie Tang on 16/07/2016 - 18:06

          @XeKToReX:
          If powered by USB then yeah all chilled. No one should be mentioning issues with 50hz/60hz unless playing on a pre 98 TV. Nintendo with this pokeago and now this. What's next?

        @abc You need to upgrade your tv and knowledge.

    • SirFlibbled on 15/07/2016 - 09:34

      Even then it's a little iffy. I bought a Superfamicom from Japan for about $20. It's basically the same thing.

  • thirtysixd on 15/07/2016 - 09:33

  • Marconaldo on 15/07/2016 - 09:36

    Its going to retail in Aus for $100 - https://twitter.com/NintendoAUNZ/status/753560206760484864

    Wonder if the Aus version will have the PAL or NTSC versions of the games?

    • abc on 15/07/2016 - 09:37

      Perhaps more importantly will the system be emulation based or original hardware based.

      If this is original hardware it would be unbelievable.

      • cheepo on 15/07/2016 - 09:48
        +5

        May be a silly question but can the standard gamer really spot the difference between the two?

        I can understand as a purist, you want it based on original hardware (so games run as they did on the original console + using intended controller) but always wondered why this is so important on a system as old as this where emulation is already close to perfect. Only asking as im uninitiated on the topic.

        • rekabkram on 15/07/2016 - 10:11
          +2

          Nothing wrong with emulators at all, purists suffer from the placebo effect of 'emulators just aren't the same'.

        • abc on 15/07/2016 - 12:03

          @rekabkram:

          Perhaps its like the argument of sound quality with Audiophiles. However emulation if done poorly will result in things like the Neo Geo X.

        • cheepo on 15/07/2016 - 12:15
          +1

          @abc:
          That's what annoys me most about these "officially licensed" products. The majority are essentially emulators, that won't allow you to play additional games other then what's included in the box. I would be all for this if it could play original cartridges.

  • undefined on 15/07/2016 - 09:37

    According to Gizmod it will be 99.95 in Aus and release on 10 Nov. http://www.gizmodo.com.au/2016/07/nintendo-has-a-new-mini-ne…

    Australian RRP is $99.95. Not much of a deal.

  • futaris on 15/07/2016 - 09:46

    Looks like the controllers plug into wiimotes.

    • supnigs super skids on 15/07/2016 - 10:43

      Yeah. I noticed that too. Maybe the snes classic controller works too

      • futaris on 15/07/2016 - 10:45

        Apparently the Wii classic and classic pro controllers work.

        • Turd on 15/07/2016 - 10:59

          That's good!!

    • viggenn on 15/07/2016 - 11:54

      You can use the NES controllers for Virtual Console on Wii/Wii U too!

    Yeah nah, I'll get mine locally.

    • [Deactivated] on 15/07/2016 - 12:37

      I wouldn't be complacent. I can almost guarantee these will sell out and go up in value.

      Refer (a) game and watch re-releases (b) mini classics.

      Nintendo don't exactly flood the market when they do nostalgia stuff.

      • j4ck on 15/07/2016 - 12:56

        Oh well. I've always got my original system and RetroPi if I need a NES fix.

    how will 1080p HDMI look on 480p games (if not lower res)

    USB power, wonder if it will work in a car.

    • futaris on 15/07/2016 - 10:49

      You could run it off a usb power bank or anything that supplies 5V at enough amps.

  • blackwind on 15/07/2016 - 10:06

    Wow how could they miss out afew good games?
    - KAGE (Shadow of the Ninja)
    - Contra
    - Tetris
    - Jackal
    - Chip and Dale
    - Duck Hunt (Come on who doesn't remember this - i know u need a gun)

    Well hope they make the cartridge(ROM) for it.

    • RichardL on 15/07/2016 - 10:09

      Duck Hunt won't work on modern TV due to the difference between CRT/analog video and LCD/digital video.

      • Smigit on 15/07/2016 - 10:13

        They could have made it work with a Wii Remote If they wanted. Not surprised they haven't included it but.

    • MasterScythe on 15/07/2016 - 10:24

      With some hacking, this is exciting because it will be working with standard rom dumps.

      All the other 'mini systems' from the past have been EASILY expanded.

    • IceCreamBandit on 15/07/2016 - 10:25

      Well hope they make the cartridge(ROM) for it.

      This new console won't be getting any new games from Nintendo, physically or digitally. The 30 included are the only ones it will be able to play.

      oh man takes me back to when i was a kid,
      we had mario and duck hunt on the one cartridge.
      i wasnt very good at duck hunt but i remember trying to beat the fast levels so i would sit right up close to the TV which made it a little bit easier to trap the ducks, i guess you could call it the aim hacks of the 90's

    • Sweetnsour on 15/07/2016 - 23:06

    The game collection in this is awesome! Great to see double dragon 2 and bubble bobble.

    Pal and ntsc matters for nostalgia. It's got to do with speed of game play and screen borders on top and bottom.

  • twisti on 15/07/2016 - 10:28

    Overpriced even at $99 retail. No additional games will be coming out for it either. I would go with RetroPie instead…

    • Lukian on 15/07/2016 - 10:32

      Yeah, I was thinking an rPi and a controller would be cheaper than this (junk?).

      • futaris on 15/07/2016 - 10:47

        A raspberry pi could use the controllers for this though.

        Iirc, Wiimote extensions are just I2C.

        The plastic case is not a bad case for a rpi though.

    • coxymla on 15/07/2016 - 10:33

      Agreed. When I saw the news article this morning I assumed it would be something like ~$30. Who would spend $100 on this?

      • supnigs super skids on 15/07/2016 - 10:46

        If it's really a proper Nintendo the controller will be awesome quality. Exact button feedback like the old days and all. Oh, if only they added cart slot

    • yellowc on 15/07/2016 - 11:44

      Overpriced compared to ROMs? Sure what isn't? Every game is overpriced with that train of thought. Compared to actual retail of legit products, it isn't overpriced compared to the Virtual Console.

    Since this is being downvoted can we move this to forums? This is an important discussion for many but not necessarily a bargain.
