REDMOND, Wash., July 14, 2016 – If you see a Nintendo Entertainment System on store shelves this holiday shopping season, you haven’t entered a time machine. (Unless everyone around you is wearing acid-washed jeans and neon leg warmers. If that’s the case, you may have unknowingly walked through a rift in the space-time continuum.) The most likely scenario is you are setting eyes on the Nintendo Entertainment System: NES Classic Edition, launching in stores on Nov. 11 at a suggested retail price of $59.99. That’s right: The NES is back! But this isn’t the same NES that you fondly remember. This new nostalgia-fueled system is a near-identical, mini replica of Nintendo’s original home console and plugs directly into your high-definition TV using an included HDMI cable. The console comes complete with 30 NES games built in, including beloved classics like Super Mario Bros., The Legend of Zelda, Metroid, Donkey Kong, PAC-MAN, and Kirby’s Adventure.

“We wanted to give fans of all ages the opportunity to revisit Nintendo’s original system and rediscover why they fell in love with Nintendo in the first place,” said Nintendo of America President and COO Reggie Fils-Aime. “The Nintendo Entertainment System: NES Classic Edition is ideal for anyone who remembers playing the NES, or who wants to pass on those nostalgic memories to the next generation of gamers.”

The system comes packaged with an HDMI cable, an AC adapter and one NES Classic Controller, which is patterned after the iconic design of the original NES controller. But you really just want to know the full list of 30 games, right? Feast your eyes on the fantastic collection of NES classics included with each and every system:

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™

There’s a little something for everyone: a nice mix of timeless favorites, cult classics and maybe even some games that you never got around to playing. Each is sure to bring back memories and produce plenty of new ones. You can even enjoy playing several of these games with two players by attaching a second NES Classic Controller, which will be sold separately at a suggested retail price of $9.99. A Classic Controller or Classic Controller Pro can also be used (each sold separately).

When connected to a Wii Remote controller, the NES Classic Controller can also be used to play Virtual Console NES games on a Wii U or Wii system. Playing these retro games using a retro controller makes the experience that much more authentic. And if you ever need to step away from the NES Classic Edition in the middle of a tough level (or take a break to call one of Nintendo’s helpful Game Counselors*), don’t worry about losing any hard-earned progress. Each game has multiple suspend points, so you can start where you left off at a later time, no passwords needed.

What’s old is new again with the Nintendo Entertainment System: NES Classic Edition. Relive past glories. Finish off that boss you never beat. Save the galaxy and rescue the princess!

*Please only call if you have indeed entered a time machine. The Game Counselor program no longer exists in 2016.

That's actually a really good list of games (though it could stand to have Dragon Warrior and Wrecking Crew), but it sucks you can't use your NES cartridges in it.

8-Bit games look fine on HDTVs to me.  It's the 16-bit stuff (and up) that starts looking bad.

I expect this thing to get hacked pretty quickly.  I also have no real need for it -already have a PC hooked up in the living room that I could easily run these ROMs on- but I still want it for that nostalgic look.  :doge

I hope something like this comes out, too.  I'm much fonder of the NES, but if it had the right games, I'd get that too.  Too bad there's not a high quality Genesis product like this.

Post by: Positive Touch on July 14, 2016, 10:26:42 AM
yeah that's a good selection of games, but no interest unless i can get all the nes games on it.

Sega did release a Genesis version of this a year or two ago iirc. don't remember what all games were on it. they did release a ps3/360 compilation disc a while ago that had a very good selection of games tho.

To my knowledge, Sega themselves have never released something like this-- there's just been multiple licensed mini consoles and handhelds of varying (crappy) quality.

Hopefully Nintendo is actually making this thing.  I have yet to buy one of these little dedicated consoles because they all pretty much suck.  Was really interested in the Neo-Geo X but its emulation wasn't very good.  My friend bought one and then I showed him how shitty it was compared to the Neo-Geo emulator I had on my PSP and that was the end of it.

this looks really cool actually, at least for my kids. but at the same time I think I would be better off building a computer with some ahem roms* and using that with some controllers.

Post by: HyperZoneWasAwesome on July 14, 2016, 04:30:20 PM
If they put that game selection on a disc for the Wii U (hell, just the Wii) I'd buy it, even at that price. That it has HDMI output and the controller will be usable for Nintendo's present home consoles is pretty cool though.

Yeah, I'll be tempted mightily by this thing once it hits the discount bin.

They used to have to buy plug separately and wire them to the cable themselves.

The cool thing to do would be if they allowed you to add games to this through expansion carts or something.

The actual thing they'll do is sell a completely new box with 30 new games.

Yeah I'd probably be more teased with the possibility of some more games behind added, at the very least as separate titles on an online store.
There's no mention of storage or plugs, so yeah I expect a fully closed system too.

Yeah, this. The Pi 2 or 3 won't have heating issues emulating just the NES. Though I'm curious how you can fit it in that and with the slots lining up/without making a mess of it. You can already put a Pi in a bigger one like the Playstation but you have to make a complete mess of the case to get the ports to be seen/connected to.

Given it's HDMI and very likely emulated, it'll probably look fine.

Why emulate? I imagine an SoC (basically an entire NES inside a single chip) would be much cheaper. That's how all the Atari consoles of this type work.

This isn't really for those people though... it's in the same market as all of those plug-and-play Atari and Genesis consoles (but hopefully being an official product it's of much better quality), basically stocking stuffers or impulse purchases.

anyways, it's more like "buy a NES, join 1985 you turds" :P

I don't get that decision. This is the one Wiimote controller that easily justifies a longer cord.

No way I'm paying anything extra for one of these things.  When it's easy to purchase, I'll pick one up...

...I think?  I'm kind of not caring as much now after seeing it in action from preview videos.  The reality of it being a dedicated ROM box with 30 games is setting in.  Am more interested in the NES controllers, really.

Wasn't Game Boy Light only available in Japan? :(

I think it's also a Pocket and not a brick GB

Ive never seen or heard about the gameboy light. Nice one.

Yessir, yessir, yessir-- the Gameboy Light was only available in Japan and was a slightly-larger Gameboy Pocket-sized system.  It used two AA batteries instead of the Pocket's two AAA batteries, IIRC.  The light was similar to those indiglo watches that were popular back then-- it was the return of the green Gameboy screen when used, only more of a watermelon green as opposed to the spinach green/yellow from the original brick GB.  I eagerly-imported one back then (I think it was '98?) and played the hell out of it, but sold it off once the Gameboy Color was released and proceeded to import one of those instead.

Then I got the Neo-Geo Pocket (the non-color version!) and proceeded to toss Gameboy aside, following up with the Neo-Geo Pocket Color a short time later, until the GBA came out.

:bow Neo-Geo Pocket :bow2

On the other side of the pond, the Famicom Mini seems to be easier to find (online) and isn't selling for as much of a mark-up...but like the original, the controllers are permanently-attached to the console and it doesn't even come with an AC adapter.  Why do you keep fucking doing this, Nintendo?

It's a real shame these things have become impossible to find. Instead of something to be celebrated all I see are "journalists" and whiny manchildren on Youtube complaining that they can't find one.

Aside from the hilariously short controller cord the rest of this device is A+ and definitely a great Christmas gift.

This is probably the only video game thing that people were actually interested in when I mentioned it.  Had someone offer to buy it and we hooked it up to a monitor to mess around with it for a bit.  Weird how people are all over it even though it's just a little rom box.

For the original price, I thought it was fine. But more options are always welcome. It kind of comes off as "toy-like", I guess.

I can't imagine how people with very big hands can use the controllers comfortably though.
And the weight of the cable attached to the controller seems to be much heavier than the controller itself, which feels a bit weird.
All in all I really like it! But I wouldn't mind if I had paid more for more options/features.

Not to pile on but yeah I'm not getting noticeable lag and don't have trouble playing Punch Out. The NES Classic actually has less input lag than my Raspberry Pi 0.

I splurged and got the Japanese mini Famicom for the bf for Christmas. We've been loving it. Beat Zelda last night. It's the Famicom Disk System version, but the second controller doesn't have the mic so you have to just kill the Pols Voices with the sword (arrows don't work on them). I'd still like to get the NES mini though.

Yup, its finally happening. Seems like the limit is 60 games at the moment. I'm hoping for a more "distinguished mentally-challenged fellow proof" method, seems like you could still fuck up the machine.

Now I can put StarTropics 2 in there :rejoice
Title: Re: Nintendo Classic Mini Console Hacked- Load Your Own ROMs!
Post by: bork on January 07, 2017, 03:16:39 PM
I currently have a total of 68 games on mine (counting the original 30), so it looks like you can go beyond the limit.

If you use the tool from http://clusterrr.com/soft/hakchi2.zip, it's extremely easy.  No save states or any of that other crap needed.  Just run the application, add games/boxart (it even searches google for you), then follow the on-screen instructions to flash the system and then you can dump games with ease.  I'm not even sure if this is needed every time, but I turn the system on in dev mode (hold reset for a few seconds, then power it on) when I'm adding games.

The only issues I've run into are:

-Some games are titled incorrectly on the game selection menu
-Some games are out of alphabetical order
-A few games would not add themselves to Hakchi when I tried.  Could be the ROM dumps.  One of the games that wouldn't add was a translated rom of Kid Dracula.

Since Nintendo can't do anything to stop this, watch them re-release the Mini with a different power port something done to stop this kind of hack from happening.  Then the price of the original units will skyrocket.  :lol

castlevania III is the best nes game

Best 'Vania on NES for sure.  Hard as fuck though.

I remember being disappointed in Super Castlevania because you couldn't play as other characters like in III.   :doge

I tried to play Metroid this one time and that was basically unplayable. Really slow and weird.

I mean sometimes I look at a game and I'm like yo that seems pretty cool but then I got bored pretty quick once you realize it's basically the same thing over and over again. Like Kai no Boken. Although that game holds a special place in my heart for giving Arino so much trouble. :lol

Good lesser-talked about NES titles:

Power Blade 1 and 2 (2, not as much as 1)
Kickle Cubicle
Goonies II
Kick Master
Willow
Crystalis
Shadow of the Ninja
Journey to Silius
Metal Storm
Kabuki Quantum Fighter
Vice: Project DOOM
Tecmo Cup Soccer / Captain Tsubasa
Bucky O'Hare
Xexyz
Faria

Also, apparently "y can't metroid crawl" guy managed to eventually beat the game with the help of people on the Miiverse :)

I too used to think the NES wasn't all that until I decided to educate myself.  In fairness to its detractors, most of the better games are the late-era lesser-known titles and a lot of the games that people have endlessly insisted are stone-cold-classics over the years really aren't all that fantastic.  There's just a lot of ignorance surrounding the system, even among hardcore NES triumphalists.  Like, none of the Castlevania games would make my top 30 action-platformer list for the system.  I think the OG Metroid is real hard to go back to.  Nintendo's own stuff for the system isn't really too polished outside of the Mario games, mostly because they really wound down game development before the system had been mastered by developers - most of their better-known stuff was released in the 'still expermenting' phase.  Also, a lot of the best games are actually licensed, which throws people off, because everybody tries to warn people away from those (it's true that the worst garbage is typically licensed).

List of good, lesser-recommended games:

Kabuki Quantum Fighter
Batman
Mitsume ga Tooru
Hi no Tori
New Ghostbusters II
Bio Miracle Bokette Upa
Gradius 2
Moon Crystal
Don Doko Don 2
Gumshoe
Gimmick!
Little Nemo
Kick Master
Metal Storm
Shatterhand
Little Samson
Zanac
Abadox
Faxanadu
Crystalis

etc. etc. etc. on my laptop so don't have my romlist handy.  It's a great system.

I'm a huge Metroid spaz, but have never thought the original (and II) aged well. Never understood the people who say that seemingly just because it doesn't have a map. Zero Mission is how you imagine it was basically. Even Prime has more flexible movement and it's first person. :lol

Castlevania III is pretty good tho? Guess I haven't counted to see if it's top 30?

Post by: Owl-faced Wizard on January 11, 2017, 10:36:27 PM
Castlevania III is good.  There are just lots more, better games.  'Action-platformer' is just the best-served genre on the system, so it's more a reflection of the quality and depth of material there in general than a diss on CV.  That said, I don't like the slow, stiff gameplay of the series and I don't put up with the bullshit that fans always seem to overlook (stairs, for example).  CV's mindshare and ongoing classic status was always down to right-place, right-time, right-subjectmatter.  Gameplay was pretty secondary.
Title: Re: Nintendo Classic Mini Console Hacked- Load Your Own ROMs!

Title: Re: Nintendo Classic Mini Console Hacked- Load Your Own ROMs!
Post by: Himu on January 11, 2017, 10:43:15 PM
No fucking way.

CVIII has endless characters, multiple endings, hard ass gameplay, replay value up the wazoo, amazing music and style. It is the definitive CV barring SOTN.

Many of the games you mention, like Metroid, aren't even coveted as the best the system has to offer.

You just don't lik CV.

But this?

The thing about the Metroid series is that Super Metroid essentially does everything that the original does but far better. The only real reason you're going back to Metroid 1 is for nostalgia.

That's a bad comparison.  SF1 had shitty gameplay/controls.  Metroid does not.  It's still very playable and I like to go back to it every now and then.  I've played the original Metroid far more than I ever did Metroid II and even Super Metroid.

Yes, still enjoyable as well if not great. It used various tricks to create a sense of size that later tech allowed Metroid 3 to do in a less bewildering way.

New version of Hakchi is out with lots of improvements.  Exit to the menu using down and select!  Game Genie support!  Looks like Startropics II is working!

Version 2.09: https://github.com/ClusterM/hakchi2/releases/tag/2.09

Quote
What's new:

    'Can't repack ramdisk' error on some systems should be gone now.
    Device detection bug fixed (thanks to David Winter!)
    Automatic file attributes fix (e.g. "WinRAR" bug fixed).
    Game selection presets. Now you can create presets for favorite games, party games, etc. It's useful since NES Mini don't like huge amount of games at once.
    Search by first letters of game, just press Ctrl+F.
    Much better PNG compression for covers, x4 more disk space.
    NES carts database with release dates, publishers, etc. Just add game and all fields will be filled automatically if it exists in database.
    Automatic IPS patches. Now you don't need other application to patch problem games. Patch files stored in "patch" folder. Problem game will be detected automatically by CRC32 checksum. Release already contains patches for "Battletoads", "Robocop 3", "Snow Bros.", "Bill & Ted's Excellent Video Game Adventure" and "Startropics II". You can add and your own patches too.
    Game Genie support. Just enter your codes (comma/spaces/semicolon separated) in special field and sync. Cheats will be activated automatically.
    Mapper #87 added to list of confirmed mappers.
    Epilepsy protection settings - you can disable epilepsy protection for original 30 games or for all games at once.
    Clovercon hack! Now you can exit to menu using "Down+Select" combination. All you need now is controller cable extension...
    Some interface improvements - you can delete games using del key, etc.
    Many minor bugfixes.

Tiny update based on recent user requests:

    Press Shift+F5 to update all your ROMs library info using database.
    Extended font working on Famicom Mini again.
    Now you can select button combination for reset.
    Some FDS improvements: correct cover size, automatic header fix, "--fds-auto-disk-side-switch-on-keypress" argument by default.
    8bit PNG compression is optional now since image quality is not so good.
    Now you can remove thumbnails at the bottom of screen (via settings menu).
    Bugfixes.

I'm over 400 games now thanks to doing some pretty deep dives on the NES library.

There's a ton of great hidden gems that work on the NES Classic. For those who want some more esoteric games aside from the usual fare I'll list 'em below:

Hidden Gems:
In other news it looks like hakchi is making good progress. Next update will have a massive overhaul to the folder and organizational file system courtesy of clusterm and it seems like madmonkey has been busy and has figured out how to add additional mappers to the emulator; his image update showed Return of the Joker working which means other FME-7 chip games like Mr. Gimmick will be working very soon.

You can actually do it right now, but this is a POC -- ideally you should be able to run the games like you do now, but they will directly load RetroArch instead of having to go through RetroArch's UI. I think you wont be able to use the save states though.

What they've done with the NES Classic in terms of cracking it open is really cool on a technical level but paying $60 for subpar Raspberry Pi 2 performance with 10x the setup/compatibility headache is a waste of time.

At least I can reroute NES emulation to RetroArch so I can get the last handful of incompatible games working so there's some benefit.

It's your patch; it converted the game to a MMC5 mapper which isn't supported by the NES Classic's built-in emulator.

It will run through RetroArch but to have it work with the built-in emulator you'll need this translation: http://www.romhacking.net/translations/141/ (http://www.romhacking.net/translations/141/).

Pretty easy to explain:

TLDR; there are thirstier neckbeards than you and they're buying them up. The demand is far outpacing manufacturing ability.

I've been able to buy four of them with relatively no issue. I don't know why people have trouble buying these.

I had a feeling it was the patch, when I looked online I found videos of people playing with other patches. Must be something about the new refurbished translation.
