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

darthv722834d 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 ;)

N82834d ago

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

X-Alchemist2834d ago

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

CrazedFiend2833d ago

Funny! The the controller is bigger than the system is!

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.

Moonman2834d ago (Edited 2834d 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_red2834d 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.

Movefasta19932834d ago (Edited 2834d ago )

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

Loktai2834d 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?

Movefasta19932834d ago (Edited 2834d 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

TWB2834d 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.

Ingram2833d 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

TXIDarkAvenger2834d ago

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

ZeekQuattro2834d 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.

Sony Patents To Prevent You From In-Game Harassment By Reading Your Emotions

A new patent recently published by Sony wants to gather biometric data of gamers to track whether one is being harassed using AI tools.

Profchaos18h ago(Edited 18h ago)

I hope this is one of those patents that never comes to fruition.

I already dislike the fact you can pay a significant amount for a online service buy associated games and content on said service and get banned from that service over potentially a misunderstanding the bans are already handed out for flimsy reasons

I'd rather see money invested in a ban that simply removes the offensive players ability to communicate with unknown players allow them to continue party chats with friends but not with Joe blow on cod.

exputers15h ago

Agreed. Blizzard recently banned a college Overwatch 2 player who's dependent for saying "shit." Pretty harsh.

Profchaos2m ago(Edited 1m ago)

How rediculas really. You can't say a word that's allowed in most PG films and prime time TV but the game is based around killing the enemy team using guns, explosives etc.

It's just backwards.

What your talking about is called block list

In 2006 a spaceship dropped of the playstation 3/xbox 360 i say that that generation was the last great gen with game functions/tech that has yet to comeback

Anyhow the playstation 3 if you block listed a id they could not talk to you in chatroom with either text or voice. But that was pre mind fucked 2018 when people were more human than sheep.

But hey gta 6 is coming out billion dollar budget without a single player custom character creator and without singeplayer coop off/online something saints row 1-3 had on the xbox 360.

Take my social security and bank account numbers too! Here’s a picture of my wife and our address.

phoenixwing10h ago

Cmon where's the pictures of your children. Don't hold out on them.

H911h ago

At this rate I feel Sony will eventually sell a room to play games in it where they can monitor your every breath

jambola7h ago

I genuinely get a bit worried sometimes when a friend says something that could be offensive In a party
Because I have no trouble believing some bans would happen when in a private party for saying something wrong

SegaSaturn66910h ago

I want them to censor erotic content by measuring my groin temperature so i dont get too distracted while playing black ops 2.

Popsicle9h ago

Terrible idea. Not only do I not consent to providing my biometric data, the potential for mishandling biometric data is almost a certainty. Positive stress and negative stress can produce similar changes in biometrics. Interpreting the precise emotion a person is feeling is not only invasive but could be easily misconstrued. I hope this never comes to fruition.
