Many pics inside the link. It's lovingly detailed. Honey I Shrunk The NES....lol

darthv722831d ago

It is very cool. I really do wish they had made the cart door open to a CF or SD slot though. but then they wouldnt be able to control the games played on it.

Oh well... somebody will figure it out and maybe we will see some interesting mods with this nifty gizmo.

Im getting two one for collecting purposes and the other to play on ;)

N82831d ago

Thinking of getting 3 for that same reason. One is a gift for my mother in law who is a gamer.

X-Alchemist2831d ago

That should have been the name of the article. Missed opportunity.

CrazedFiend2830d ago

Going to get this and set this up next to my consoles in my man cave.

Then I will shed a tear of joy as I'm transported back to my early childhood of when I really did have a NES set up.

I will play Mega Man 2, die, then instantly go back to playing Overwatch.

Moonman2831d ago (Edited 2831d ago )

I was an NES kid too! And guess what? I never really played Mega Man 2 (partly because of my friend never handing over the controller..lol)! One of the reasons I'm buying this is because I know it's a pure classic all-time favorite and I hope the gaming gods forgive me after I beat it. He was always playing Mega Man 2 and I couldn't put down Super Mario Bros. 3. Good times!!!! I do remember Mega Man 2's soundtrack being masterful.

gangsta_red2831d ago

IMO, Mega Man 2 and 3 are the best in the series. I remember seeing the graphics for Mega Man 2 and was completely blown away with how good it looked.

The first 3 SMB games are still legitimately fun for me. And the original Mario Bros is one of the all time most addictive 2 player games.

Anyone else want it more right after seeing the mini alongside it's big brother?

Can't believe how good it looks.

Movefasta19932831d ago (Edited 2831d ago )

If sony does this with the ps1,with some classic rpgs ike vagrant story,ff9,crash,spyro ect id be all over it.

Loktai2831d ago

I mean.. have you ever seen the "Psone"? You can already put that in your pocket if you're not wearing skinny jeans... its hardly big enough to fit the CD. Mind you, you'll be swapping disks to play but isn't that part of the nostalgia too?

Movefasta19932831d ago (Edited 2831d ago )

I prefer this way of doing it, 30games pre installed, plug and play , the only way of getting a ps1 now is second hand or pay the full price for a new one and these old classic games cost a lot. And scratch easy

TWB2831d ago

I dont think that the size is the main selling point. By that logic nobody who has a PS1, 2 or 3 should buy a miniature PS1 because they can just buy the games and play them. Besides, didnt NES also get a revision which was much smaller than the original ? Top loader.

What people are excited about the mini NES, is the HDMI output which gives you a much cleaner image quality than coaxial/RCA on the original NES/PS1, and the fact that the machine comes preloaded with classic games, many of which would rival the cost of the machine itself when bought physically.

I have seen each of the Crash and Spyro games too costing anything betweem 30-60+€, so simply buying a PSOne and then the games separately, its going to cost a hefty amount.

Ingram2831d ago

hey, they could release an even slimmer ps2 with hdmi output\upscaler. That's ps1 + ps2 on basically any monitor. modular optical drive and or ssd would be a plus too. I would pay up to 160 for a slimmer ps2 with an ssd + hdmi

TXIDarkAvenger2831d ago

I hope they will do more of these. So cool.

ZeekQuattro2831d ago

If this is a hit and I believe it will be Nintendo will most likely do mini varients of some of its other consoles.

Make your next GPU upgrade AMD as these latest-gen Radeon cards receive a special promotion

AMD has long been the best value option if you're looking for a new GPU. Now even their latest Radeon RX 7000 series is getting cheaper.

Father__Merrin1d ago

Best for the money is the Arc cards

The arc cards are no longer made by intel but asus/asrock has some the next line battlemage is coming out prices tbd.

Do to the longer software development its always best to go amd over intel if its not to much more money even though intel is a strong gpu i own 2/4 card versions.

PlayStation Doesn't Need a Dedicated PC Store Launcher

With all the PlayStation games that are now coming to PC, is it time for Sony to release a dedicated PC launcher?

thorstein2d ago

No, and they already solved any need with the overlay that's coming.

Vits2d ago

Unless they are trying to kill their recently created PC business, I would advise against opening a dedicated PC store. It's an extremely hard endeavor, and people, in general, are very comfortable with Steam. Even Epic, with their billions of dollars invested, is still struggling to find a foothold, and they have Fortnite.

just_looken1d 11h ago (Edited 1d 11h ago )

Money is one thing security is another but again millions have 0 knowledge past 2020.

Epic store for years struggled with a shopping cart/account theft/credit card theft

Rockstar launcher/store to this day over 5 years later still has horrific user interface security flaws lost account's and stolen CC

Then you got that activision need phone number oh we lost it launcher

The crown jewel is the ea launcher/store ea app 3 yrs old still has hundreds of threads were people lost games/accounts/game access or just straight up crashes.

Edit" Oh ubi launcher were you buy a game that may or may not be there again or work and the launcher 5yrs old still has no 4K support if you launch it on a 4k screen there is a high chance it will just crash.

ocelot072d ago

Can tell who ever put this together is not all that clued up on pc gaming.

It's just a known fact. The PC gaming community prefer Steam and Steam alone. They don't like different launchers. I personally don't mind them. But majority just stick with steam. Hence why EA and Ubisoft went back to on releasing on steam and why Microsoft release games on steam as people hated buying from the windows store.

The only other launchers that I imagine are doing ok is GOG due to being drm free and epic games due to the free games every week. Sony shouldn't release any sort of pc launcher n

Nitrowolf22d ago (Edited 2d ago )

It literally says in the OP that PC gamers don't like multiple launchers lol. It even mentions Steam being the go to for gamers

Tacoboto1d 22h ago

Title: "PlayStation Doesn't Need a Dedicated PC Store Launcher"

N4G: "Can tell who ever put this together is not all that clued up on pc gaming"

When you don't even read the headline...

ocelot071d 19h ago

I read it and had a brain fart. As read the title then this "With all the PlayStation games that are now coming to PC, is it time for Sony to release a dedicated PC launcher?"

So I hold my hands up on that mistake. Rest of my comment still stands.

Giblet_Head1d 11h ago (Edited 1d 11h ago )

Steam and GOG are highly preferred because of the rich feature set. Ubisoft, Rockstar, EA, Epic etc have all set a precedent over the years for customers to instinctively expect individual publisher launchers to be so extremely half-assed that the majority simply don't want to bother dealing with what is almost an inevitable disappointment by comparison to Steam or GOG. Those publishers and their inaction or general disinterest to improve have effectively ruined any future adoption to be taken seriously.

Einhander19722d ago (Edited 2d ago )

This is just another ridiculous double standard article.

It's like how Microsoft can spend 20 years of making nothing but gaas and live service style games to sell microtransactions, dlc and subscriptions and get praise for doing it, but if Sony wants to make a single game like that every website under the sun is writing articles saying how Sony is anti-consumer or whatever.

derek1d 18h ago

Yep, huge double standard look at the tortured reaction to the ps5pro, websites hyperventilating like Sony is forcing people to buy it.

just_looken1d 11h ago

Wait my xbox from 2004 has avengers gaas on it? wow your so smart

m$ Gaas started with the other companies like sony

Gamepass yes they are deep into that but its still a huge money saver sense you do not own your games then get a service like that.

Now there pc xbox launcher that is trash for years now
