Like I paid 10 for the Humble Nindie bundle bc it was 10 for 12 games but I dont think Ive played even 1 yet, but I got suckered in by the quantity for the price.

Not only did it allow you to play 16-bit classics on the move, it featured SD card support so you could load up even more games - although the rather shady nature of ROM distribution did cause some to frown upon on the console.

Rumours that he turned down a role in The Hobbit to work on Nintendo Life are, to the best of our knowledge, completely and utterly unfounded.

I was in TRU on Friday and there is an entire section of these all in one retro consoles across from Skylanders.

If Nintendo wants to regain some market share they should consider an NES version.

The vast majority of people dont want to pay 5 for 30 year old games when they could be spending that on newer Indie games and stealing the ROMs for free.

Lets face it, Nintendo, despite a couple of excellent HD games, hasnt done very well at releasing them in a timely manner, as launch title Pik in 3 was 10 years in the making and even borderline retro looking Star Fox Zero has slipped from its Nov 20th date, and nobody knows where 2015 Zelda U has gone.

So why not make some quick money with a cheap retro console while they try to figure out HD And if NX is a new high end console, they should at least consider some serious NES marketing like PS or Retro 30 for 30 disc.

They want to change their in store marketing to Nintendo, they should go all out on the brand and become a relevant retro dominating machine.

The virtual console kicked off and sega decided it would make far more money doing it themselves.

Its why the 3DS got the GameGear games and nothing else other than sega made 3D classics.

My hope is that Nintendo has been more forward thinking with licencing the VC on Wii U and it passes on to the NX.

Ive played the TV version, and the emulated music sounds awful.

Whats all on this If its got Greats like Ecco the Dolphin, Toejam and Earl 1 and 2, Zombies Ate My Neighbors and Streets of Rage sign me up.

But huh, this thing existing is probably the reason why Stuart Ashens was able to get the previous latest model for less than 20 quid.

I believe there was a handheld a short while back called the gamegadget that would have its own browser based online shop where you could buy ROMs of different games.

The goal was to give devs another outlet to resell their old retro games and Sega was an early supporter, but it flopped pretty badly and pretty quickly.

I honestly think Nintendo should just make a separate console called The Virtual Console.

So you would still have a PS4X1 powered console, but it would have NES built in either like Retors 30 or a PS type service where they would all be avialbe for 5 per month.

Nobody buys DVDs anymore, they Netflix etc, nobody buys CDs anymore, they Pandora etc, soon nobody will buy games anymore, well just rent them.

Now I really dont like PS Now streaming in the crowd lagginess, but let us DL and play the games in full, which Ive done w many a PS game over the years.

Worked perfectly.

But Nitneod should not be selling individual NES and SNES games at this point for 5 or 8, just bundle them all already.

Sony and MS both charge for online, that would be Nitneods way of doing that, unlimited NES games.

If Rare put them up individually maybe only 7 or 8 would sell at 1 each, but people are willing to pay 30 for the bundle.
