#2Aww no Contra at launch. (They do have non Nintendo titles though like Megaman 2, so it's not just a first party issue)

#3I'm actually really excited about this. I just wonder if my kids will be as addicted to the old school games as I was.

#4> Sadly you can't use your original NES carts with the console - something even the most basic "Famiclone" offers - and there doesn't seem to be any means of getting new games onto it.
Would it really have been that much extra effort to make the console backwards compatible?

#6Launches Nov 11. This should be some nice competition for those knock offs you see at the mall around Christmas time.

#7Please have Super Sprint, please have Super Sprint......nooooooooooooooo!
Oh well, I'll probably buy one to play games with my kids, most mainstream games today are too complicated to learn and I don't really find them fun despite how technically amazing they are.

It would have been much larger. As in, the exact size of the original.

Including a compatible cartridge reader? Of course that's a lot of effort and costs, making the price point untenable.
The beautiful thing about his console is that for the price of a new Nintendo game you're getting the console and 30 games, without any hassle (swapping cartridges etc.).
It's certainly a compromise, but a very enticing one.
