Whats the point of the classic nes relaunch?
Only has 30 games, no ethernet port or cartridge capability to add collections from other gaming companies like campcom....
who thought this was a good idea at nintendo?
Who did they think the audience is?
Who are these people?
the same people that play pokemon go
Its cashing in on nostalgia from the IM SUCH A NERD XDDD crowd.
it'll sell millions
>>345177472
its for hipsters to place in their shelf
>>345177472
there's only one reason to do anything
>>345177472
hmmm buy a console tons of wires limited games.
or download one zip in 2 minutes of the entire nes library to play them the real way with a keyboard and mouse not an inferior controller for casuals.
>>345177472
because good goyim will buy
>>345177681
back to /pol/
>>345177698
There are USB adapters for NES controllers so you could use one that way too.
>>345177835
bro you can just spice the usb to a nes controller.
>>345177472
it was the nu male
>>345177698
How many gigabytes (maybe megabytes) would an entire NES collection take up?
How about after all of these are factored in:
>US/English language games only
>no repeats/duplicates (ie. if Super Mario + Duck Hunt is on there, then standalone copies of either game aren't included, or vise versa)
>>345177826
>>345177698
or buy a flash cart
>>345178006
see for yourself
SNES collection is around 2.5gigs. N64 collection (U.S. release only) is around 5gigs
>>345177472
It's a novelty device for collectors. I fail to see why you are confused.
>>345178170
hory shet I could fit that on my effen digital pocketwatch its so small. flick out the chain like a boss and hit up some shit like mario while everyone mirin on my ish.
>>345178240
>It's a novelty device for collectors.
it serves no purpose though? only obsessives who buy anything branded nintendo would be that target and thats a small group of beta numales.
>>345177472
nintendo is like 10 years late with this shit
>whats the point of making money off retards?
>>345178240
why dont they just make a controller with the whole library on it then?
>>345178336
i forgot to mention these are zipped files so theoretically you're looking at around 750mb total. But still, its absolutely nothing
and most emulators can run zipped files anyways. So there's no point in even unpacking. Same applies with most 16bit emulators
>>345178240
>collectors
Collectors already have an NES.
The word you're looking for is "normies".
>>345178676
I grew up on halo, is there an xbox emulater yet to go all hardcore?
>>345178170
Those file sizes always make me laugh when someone makes a "you can only bring x games with you in a fallout shelter." thread.
>>345178853
your best bet is to get a 360 and flash the motherboard.
then download a masterkey file that has backwards compatibility for original xbox games. I've run a lot of OG xbox games (and some jap shmups and haven't had issues)
>>345177826
kek
>>345178484
>>345177472
This. Nintendo's just squeezing the last blood from the 80s nostalgia stone before that generation gets dementia.
>>345178853
Halo 1&2 have PC ports. Only 3&4 are in limbo.
>>345178240
there's nothing collectible about a shitty nes that can only play 30 games
>>345178997
lolwut? speak english bro, isnt there like an app or something I can use? I have itunes.
>>345178484
A relative gifted me an atari 2600 plug in play with 30 games
this is the same concept
>>345179116
their not on steam or are they? im a power gamer with over 800 hours in skyrim so I know how to steam.
It's cheaper than the Virtual Console desu, I don't see anyone on /v/ shitting on that
>>345178849
>The word you're looking for is "normies".
why would normies get this when their phone does more than this POS?
>>345178170
>entire US NES ROM collection
>slightly over a quarter of a gigabyte
Jesus Christ, that can even fit on antiquated storage mediums like CDs.
>>345179151
xbox original emulation is shit. You're SOL
>>345179326
dang, well thanks bro guess maybe we gotta wait for a 1337 hacker to pull it off or someone from anonymous.
>>345179318
>Jesus Christ, that can even fit on antiquated storage mediums like CDs.
how would it even get on a cd? flash memory is easy just copy paste
Calling it now, its gonna be a fucking Nintendo-On-A-Chip (NOAC) with a fancy menu.
>>345179465
literally there is probably one chip inside that thing with a plastic box around it since it wouldnt need anything else.
>>345179318
heh you might get a kick out of this
each one of these games was roughly $200 on release
people can talk shit about how videogames were so much better 20 years ago, but when you realize you can fit about every videogame made before 2000 on a 2tb HDD, things really aren't that bad.
>>345179896
if games were better back then, why do the graphics suck? the new COD is unreal bro.
>>345179896
>2.65GB
That's like roughly half of a standard single-layer DVD!
Now I see why retrogaming is so popular.
>near-flawless emulation
>small filesize
>actually fun
>little to no sociopolitical propaganda
What if
GBC reelease
30 games built in including Pokemon Crystal, Oracle of Ages, Oracle of Seasons, Kirby's Dream Land, and Metroid II.
Functional GB/GBC slot and an eShop to buy moreAvailable in six colours
>>345181624
>>345179297
because OMG IM SUCH A NERD XDDDD
normal people either don't know about emulators, panic because it's illegal, get malware out the ass from dodgy rom sites, or some combination.
This gets the last gasps of the 80s Nintendo fad for that lot.
>Wii ports
Can I plug in my Classic Controller?
>>345181915
Unfortunately, yes. It's probably a stripped-down Wii with a bunch of VC games loaded. rather than a system-on-a-chip.
>>345177472
>who thought this was a good idea at nintendo?
THE PEOPLE WHO MAKE MONEY
>Who did they think the audience is?
RETARDED LOLSORANDUM XD GEEKY FAGGOTS THAT READ AND WRITE ARTICLES ON KOTAKU
AND IT WORKS
IT'LL SELL A MILLION BOXES
NOBODY CARES
WE ARE NOT THE TARGET AUDIENCE FOR ANYTHING NINTENDO HAS MADE FOR THE LAST TEN YEARS OR THE NEXT TEN YEARS
>>345177472
>ethernet port
That never occurred to me. Two player online balloon fight would be pretty fun
>>345181624
is translucent a color id get that
>>345181915
no fuck you buy new controller HaHaHaHa
It's for normies.
People literally too stupid to know you can play NES games in your browser if you're really that fucking lazy.
Retards pay a $1,000 for a phone that does the same shit as a $200 one and a $3,000 macbook so they can go on facebook.
>>345178170
>>345179318
>>345178958
>>345178336
Blackcat listings say a complete NES collection with every game and versions from every region would be almost 2.5GB
>>345182779
SNES is 8.5gb
I'm going to buy one
>>345183036
Why?
>>345183036
bu-but what for?
>>345177472
>who thought this was a good idea at nintendo?
>Who did they think the audience is?
>Who are these people?
Go to a mall or flee market and you're bound to see kiosks selling similar chink shit for $100. If Nintendo makes an official one, no one will buy the crappy chinese rip offs.
>>345183158
So I can play 30 nes games with people
>>345183230
For playing games? You know that thing it's for
>>345183295
>>345183357
I'm about to blow your mind here so get ready.
What if I told you that you can play even more than 30 nes games with people for cheaper than $50?
>>345183459
I have a dingoo.
I don't mind paying for things I've never purchased legally. Plus other people don't like playing on emulators at parties you fucking autist. Keep it simple.
>>345177472
>Whats the point of the classic nes relaunch?
the money
