For $60, I'm in. Seems like a cool idea and those are pretty much the best games for the NES anyways.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
TSB had player likenesses which are clearly not licensed this many years later, no? I though Tecmo Bowl on Virtual Console just had numbers.

Huh.
And I always wondered if Nintendo would be able to do a stand alone VC Machine. Looks like I came close...

what the
Alas, it isn't USB at all, but the same connector as the bottom of the Wii Remote.
Curious as to whether this is entirely a software emulator on top of generic hardware or has some specific NES hardware. I'm definitely interested -- the game list is excellent.
Kinda sucks that the controllers are wired, but entirely reasonable for the price.
$60 for the console with one controller
$10 for an additional controller

$60. Plus $10 for a second controller.
PR says it will be able to.
Seemingly, it's VC in a box, no NES HW.

Since its using the Wii remote connection and the controller works with Wii remotes... it might just literally be a Wii stripped down with HDMI out capability.
Hopefully it has some good display options for 1:1 pixel ratio and some passable scan lines.
Super C is in there.There better be good games included. Give me some Mega Man and Contra. Not just endless Mario and Ice Climbers
(I will accept Balloon Fight. RIP Iwata)
EDIT: Nevermind, didn't see the full list. Needs more Contra.
Never liked Castlevania 3 anyway.

This is probably totally true, but I'm still sad about it. I never played TB to be fair, but I played so much damn TSB that it's hard for me to imagine TB being as good.

Such a weird move but I'll take fifty. Love the box art and the variety in included games.

As cool as this is I would honestly rather have confirmation that Nintendo Account games will now be tied to the actual account and easily downloadable on the NX so I can begin actually buying a few with the confidence they will work on my new system.
This is a really neat idea but I don't want to have to hook up another box to the TV.

It is nowhere close to as good. No full seasons, IIRC.
That's why you should keep your CRT. I have one just for these things that might show up.
Also use it when I wanna play some PS2, Xbox or GC games.

Really neat, I'm in for 60 !
Because they know Super C is the superior Contra.

Thanks, I see I missed the price buried in the middle of the PR. Actually less than I thought, I suspected close to 100 thanks to the included games.

Nintendo are in beast mode at the moment.
Day one for me, I have a bunch of these carts and an original working system but this is too cool not to get.

Now that my hype has settled a touch, I'm wondering about this too. Since it sounds like the VC functionality is based on Wii U (given the noted suspend points) and not Wii, I'm wondering if it uses the Wii U VC emulator. It probably does, in which case given the disappointing reviews NES emulation has gotten on Wii U, esp. in terms of game darkness (though I know that's fixable with TV settings as I understand it), I would hope it looks better than Wii U NES VC reportedly does.

For some reason super c is available a lot more widely than the first game.
I wonder if there is some legal issue with the first game. It's not on 3ds BC or on Wii u, but super c is.

It's likely a port of the VC version that took out the player names (since its only had the NFLPA license), Super Bowl had both the NFL and NFLPA license so it's a lot harder to take stuff out.
I'm still mad about no Contra. Seriously, Super C instead of Contra. What. WHY.
