Oh man look at the controller

That thing is as adorable as it looks to be poorly functional.

 

[EmCeeGramr]

Oh man look at the controller

I guess they really wanted the controllers to slot into the top of the system, but yeesh, c'mon.

 

[TheDinoman]

Weird that Kid Icarus is US exclusive.

Stuff like Startropics and Punch-Out!! I can understand considering they're far more popular in America than in Japan (ST never even came out in Japan lol).

 

[coughlanio]

They really should have gone with the AV Famicom design, with removable dogbone controllers.

 

[Jim_Cacher]

It's going to be weird to see a little plug and play budget box outsell the latest PS hardware.

I don't know why but I feel that the sales of PS4 Pro will not be too hot in Japan.

Anyway, I am thinking which one should I buy. I like FC Mini's appearance, but NES Mini has better library.

 

[Rellik]

Oh man look at the controller

Lmao. That's amazing.

 

[Kobun Heat]

at least link my dang tweet

 

[Penguin]

Seems like a preview of European version

Can see a diff UI

[Toparaman]

That's better, here's the UI

Wonder if each game comes with a scan of the original instruction manual. Would be awesome if so.

Oh, don't misunderstand me, I think this product will outsell the Pro worldwide.

 

[Peltz]

Oh man look at the controller

Size matters. Playing with that tiny thing can't satisfy me. I need something with more girth to wrap my hands around.....

Yes I'm still talking about videogame controllers you sickos.

 

[broncobuster]

Oh man look at the controller

Cute. It'll be like playing a GB Micro.

 

[Dub117]

Wow that controller is ridiculous. Did they say anything about preorders in the US for the NES mini? Shouldn't it be up by now?

 

[explodet]

Cute. It'll be like playing a GB Micro.

I think it's actually smaller than the Gameboy Micro.

 

[LQX]

Man that thing is ugly. I still might import one though if the prices are not too obscene.

 

[OrbitalBeard]

I believe only Target and Toys 'R Us have taken pre-orders, both of which have sold out of their stock.

 

[Ceallach]

Omg! It is ADORABLE.

 

[BitStyle]

Oh man look at the controller

What were they thinking with that controller? I aint got Trump hands to play with that shit. So disappointing...

 

[gingerbeardman]

Here's a thought...

What if Nintendo have miniaturised the NES/SNES/GBA/DS and maybe more in this way? It must be running an ARM chip if it's powered by USB.

So they could add this emulation functionality into the NX quite easily.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Oh man look at the controller

is that a controller for ants?

 

[Nags]

I like it. I want one.

 

[rhandino]

Oh man look at the controller

Donald Trump will be very happy =3

 

[BocoDragon]

I had assumed they'd make the controllers in the system a facade, and plug the real one into the Famicom expansion port.

 

[SURGEdude]

Oh man look at the controller

My hands are small I know.

 

[SatoAilDarko]

The controller being so small makes it much better in my opinion. Adds to its weird charm.

 

[Sushigod7]

Oh man look at the controller

LOL thats hilarious

The controller being so small makes it much better in my opinion. Adds to its weird charm.

But this I'm not going to use it much anyway.

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

Cute. It'll be like playing a GB Micro.

Awful?

 

[1upsuper]

lmao

I know. I don't understand why Atlantis is on that list. That game is crap, but I guess it has its fans.

 

[SinCityAssassin]

Japanese hands are tiny as hell.

 

[TheDinoman]

I'm also pretty surprised they didn't put one of the Fire Emblem games here.

 

[SinCityAssassin]

I'd rather people go straight to the third one on super famicom instead of the first one.

 

[KingBroly]

I was on board until I saw the controller.

I think NCL took the "mini" concept a bit too literally

 

[Azure Dream]

I thought "Maybe you can use the US controllers on the FC Mini", but nope, the wire goes into the back without a connector directly visible.

It looks like it may not include mic support? The holes are molded into the P2 controller, but not really there, it looks like. I guess the only game I know would be affected off-hand would be TLoZ, and that was kind of an easter egg.

 

[Shig]

Man, our version kicks this one's ass up and down the street. Better list of games and regular-size controllers you can use on the Wii/Wii U VC, to boot.

 

[TheGameshark]

Man I was interested until I saw that controller.

For real.

Maybe Japan will drop an AV Famicom mini with games from 1992+ and detachable dogbone controllers. If not, they really got the short end of the stick.

More than an easter egg, you had to shout to kill the Pols Voice enemy.

 

[disappeared]

For those wondering which exclusives each region gets

NES Classic exclusive: Bubble Bobble, Castlevania 2, Donkey Kong Jr, Final Fantasy, Kid Icarus, Punch Out, Startropics, Tecmo Bowl

Famicom exclusive: Yie Ar Kung-Fu, Atlantis no Nazo, Solomon's Key, Tsuppari Sumo, River City Ransom, Final Fantasy 3, Mario Club Golf, Downtown Street Challenge

Oh boy we get that hot Castlevania 2 exclusive.

And they get River City Ransom fucks sakes

 

[BocoDragon]

Maybe they're just put the Famicom cart version on there. It plays like the US version.

 

[Calm Mind]

Moe af.

 

[hwy_61]

fuuuuuck dude

we aint never getting that shit in the states

 

[silva1991]

Oh man look at the controller

That doesn't look comfortable to use.

 

[SinCityAssassin]

I would imagine if they;d put a mic anywhere, it'd be in the console itself, not the tiny controllers.

 

[OmegaFax]

It has a working microphone for Pols Voice in LoZ?

 

[Yaboosh]

Are preorders open for the US version anywhere?

 

[Torokil]

Mario Bros 3 came out in Japan 2 years before the Western release? What took so long?

 

[Bert409]

Please put in River City Ransom and take out fucking Ice Climber for the NES Mini, Nintendo

 

[Boney]

No Dragon Quest? That's kinda surprising.

Yeah and FF3 instead.

Weird

 

[Laws00]

I want sooooo bad

Mario Bros 3 came out in Japan 2 years before the Western release? What took so long?

Funny enough I just took 5 minutes to look that up myself when i saw the youtube vid about a minute ago

 

[Torokil]

Some glaring omissions in that. Notably Mother 1 and Dragon Quest. I would love if NA put in Dragon Warrior 4 in the NES mini but that would only sell the thing to like 5 people, myself included.
