While we whine about the The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Nintendo has quietly revealed it will be releasing a small, pocket-sized NES featuring a number of memorable games. Information we learnt from our pals over at Vooks.net.
The little console comes with HDMI cable (good news), a USB cable and a single controller (there are two controller ports though). It'll set you back about $100 dollerydoos, and the games it comes loaded with are:
- Balloon Fight™
- BUBBLE BOBBLE
- Castlevania™
- Castlevania II: Simon’s Quest™
- Donkey Kong™
- Donkey Kong Jr. ™
- DOUBLE DRAGON II: THE REVENGE
- Dr. Mario™
- Excitebike™
- FINAL FANTASY®
- Galaga™
- GHOSTS’N GOBLINS®
- GRADIUS™
- Ice Climber™
- Kid Icarus™
- Kirby’s Adventure™
- Mario Bros. ™
- MEGA MAN® 2
- Metroid™
- NINJA GAIDEN
- PAC-MAN™
- Punch-Out!! ™ Featuring Mr. Dream
- StarTropics™
- SUPER C™
- Super Mario Bros.™
- Super Mario Bros. ™ 2
- Super Mario Bros. ™ 3
- TECMO BOWL
- The Legend of Zelda™
- Zelda II: The Adventure of Link™
According to the article on Vooks' site, the controllers "will connect to Wii Remote accessory ports, which also allows players to use their existing Wii Classic Controllers with the 30 included games. These new NES controllers will also be compatible with Wii Remotes to be used with Wii and Wii U Virtual Console titles. Extra controllers will be sold separately for $19.95AU".
Is this something you could see yourself picking up?

Also pretty sure the unit is as is and you wont be able to change any of the games or update it. So it's technically not a console.
Fingers crossed for a similar palm sized SNES and N64.

kinda tiny, unless that's a giants hand
could easily do something like this with a raspberry pi 3 which has mini hdmi and MAME for less than $100, just wouldn't have a cool mini tendo case
saw SNK did a neogeo console like this a few years ago, would have got that if it had hdmi because of raiden and metal slug

If you wanted to make your own retro console, perhaps some scrupulous manufacturers in China will clone the case/shell of it so you can buy it and stick a raspberry in it.

I'm looking forward to seeing what the modding community will do with this.

but i guess if they had planned for adding games later they would have mentioned it
if anything instead of an sdcard you swap out they probably would have gone with an estore like they use in their Wii system
