Microsoft is in a position now where theyve got more to gain from building a relationship with Nintendo by licensing ip IMO

Maybe Nintendo made a deal with Microsoft and GoldenEye, Banjo-Kazooie/Tooie, Perfect Dark and Conker's are in.
If there's one thing Minecraft has taught MS, it's that money can be made on other platforms.

Haven't been interested in the NES or SNES mini classics but boy would I buy this.
Just hope that they can get the Rare games on there (including Bond).

Yeah, literally this. Sony is thrusting its thick rod at Microsoft so Microsoft needs to get in bed with Nintendo

If it’s anything at all like the last two Mini Classics, adding games to it yourself will be brain dead easy.

A mini N64 without Rare's games wouldn't be worth it, IMO. Banjo Kazooie and Goldeneye are just as important to the 64's library as Mario and Smash.
Given their long squabble over the Goldeneye rights, even weighed against the Minecraft ports, I don't see the two companies reaching a deal for those games.

Even if Rare games are on this I don't really see Tooie and Conkers making the cut...

DOOM 64 and Turok have to be in...

Oh man if Microsoft and Nintendo partner. Bye bye Sony. Legit I can see a lot happening with a partnership like that.

I don't see those games making the cut either unless there is going to be like 30+ games included. Which I doubt considering how many were on the NES and SNES classic.

That is quite sad as the N64 is the only place to play DOOM 64, one of the best classic DOOM games... if not the best. Also, the library on the N64 seems to be a bit less packed than NES and SNES, even first party wise. Leaving these classics out would be bad IMHO :/.

I’d buy this day 1, only thing is, didn’t they also file a trademark for the Game Boy a few months ago? Which one comes out first?
Also, it will be interesting to see if Nintendo kept the N64 games at their original framerates or bumped them up because it’s emulated.
I wouldn’t be so sure about being able to add all the games via hacking because of the unstable nature of Nintendo 64 emulation. Although some of the hackers are wizards, so who knows.

If you like Doom 64 you have to try Brutal Doom 64, its awesome.
OT:
A mini N64 sounds nice, i wonder if there ever will be a mini Gamecube. I love the GC Controller.

I can't help but read that post like you're really frustrated about it all.
"A new Classic Mini coming out?! What! But I just got my SNES Classic today!!!"
But really, it's a nifty little machine with some great hits. Hope you like it!

I understand nostalgia is a hell of a drug but I really don't get the Game Boy classic hype. Those are some pretty simplistic games with some pretty simplistic graphics. It's basically downgraded NES games.
I think they'd have to sell it for like $40 at most.
I'd hope for some higher res/widescreen support at very least.

No not frustrated at all. Happy. And I’d get a N64 tooI can't help but read that post like you're really frustrated about it all.

I noticed you also stated you have little interest in the NES and SNES Classics. Out of curiosity, how old are you?
The Game Boy had plenty of good games btw. Why do you think they are all “simplistic”? Are you assuming?
If you are after good graphics, why are you even interested in the N64 mini? Games are about gameplay for me. I can still play OG Pacman and Galaga for hours with their “simplistic” graphics because they are fun.
I’m guessing it’s an age thing.

But why? I know that Kazooie is the best of all, but Tooie and Conker are awesome too
Lots of people talking about Rare stuff and whether or not it's possible, but how about the Factor 5 Star Wars titles? I know Nintendo isn't on good terms with EA, but they didn't make the games and they presumably belong to the license-holder, Disney, a company Nintendo IS on good terms with.

This is actually how I feel about the 64 lol, I'd be totally down for a GB classic.

Can't comment on Tooie but isn't Conker a mature rated game? I don't think Nintendo would want to limit the system to mature audiences only.
Also, i'm not very optimistic about the emulation. If you look at their older VC N64 library you will see "easy to emulate games", excluding Pokemon Snap. RARE games aren't easy to emulate, it took years for current emulators and plugins to fix all the problems in those games, like the polygon stretching and timing issues in Donkey Kong 64, the real time shadow in Conker, the sky in Goldeneye's Dam level, etc. Not sure if Nintendo is able, or willing, to make a decent N64 emulator that can run more demanding games like these.

Doesn't MS own Conker anyway?

People are out of their mind though if they think Nintendo would slap any M games on there. I think we can safely say we won't see CBDF, DOOM or Turok.
Non Nintendo, non rare games I want:
Body Harvest
San Francisco rush1 and 2
Mischief makers
Castlevania
Hybrid heaven
Resident evil 2
Bomber man 64
Star wars shadows of the Empire
Fighters destiny
Nintendo games I want:
Mario 64
Pilotwings
Donkey Kong 64
Mario kart
Smash bros
Mario golf
Mario tennis
Mario party
Ocarina of time
Rare games I want:
Diddy kong racing
Goldeneye
Perfect dark
Blast corps
I hope it happens.

I never cared for N64 at the time, or owned one (even though I liked and owned the NES/SNES prior). Though I did play a some of the Star Wars games with my cousin's at the time, and Mario Kart with friends and at local pubs on it the past couple of years.
But I will definitely pick one up to add to the collection, and at least play some games I missed out on.

Yeah but it’s a moot point once hackers get a tool made for us to add more games to it.

They're releasing them so fast, we might get the mini version of Nintendo's next console before the actual console comes out!

They should release Ura Zelda with the console, just like they did with Star Fox 2.

I hope this comes with Rare games. If not no doubt I'll just instantly hack them on I just know that 90% of what I want is Mario + Zelda + Rare and I'm good. Also hoping they don't do something stupid like not allowing 4 controllers to plug in. I would probably play this system more than the previous two. Also hoping we get some nice tid bits like Zelda OoT : Master Quest.
