That is pretty cool 

I'll buy that in a heartbeat.

Instant buy for me too

Nintendo should do this for every one of their legacy consoles. Yeah, I'm aware my laptop has every emulator under the sun on it and thousands of roms, but there's a cool factor to this that can't be replicated.

[wizard of Thought]

YES PLEASE! I would die to have a SNES, N64 and Gamecube mini-console with remakes of the controllers of each console (well, ok they don`t need to remake the GC controllers I guess ) and a collection of games from these consoles.

Id buy a SNES one, never actually owned a SNES before.

[axeman90210]

I would buy a SNES one so fast I'd probably break the keyboard. Just give me Super Mario World, Star Fox, and Mario Kart, and anything else would just be gravy.

[OpenYourEyes311]

The games list for this is really great. Unfortunate that you can't use carts, but some of the best games to come to the system make this absolutely worth getting. Zelda 1+2, Mega Man 2, all 3 Marios, Metroid, Final Fantasy, Kirby, Castlevania, and Super C are among the systems best, everything else is gravy. If I could make a list of 30 NES games to be on this, those would all make the cut.

Only game I really wish was there and isn't is Contra. However, they included Bubble Bobble, so I'll let it slide.

[OpenYourEyes311]

Yeah, Bubble Bobble is among the ones on here that I would consider "unnecessary, but good to great games." Along with Castlevania 2, Donkey Kong, DKJ, Double Dragon 2, Dr. Mario, Excitebike, Kid Icarus, Pac-Man, Punch Out, Ninja Gaiden, StarTropics, and Tecmo Bowl. Galaga, Ghosts' N Goblins, and Gradius are alright games, too. Only games I feel like are "taking up room that could be used for Duck Tales or Little Samson" are Mario Bros, Balloon Fight (terrible game), and Ice Climber. Not a bad little machine here for $60.

It'd have to be all the Marios.

The "on" switch for the new Mini Nes should be - you open the lid and blow inside.

[black_biff_stadler]

Seconded.

Nice! Hanzo is my favorite character. Here's a recent clip of one of my frantic moments gone right: https://streamable.com/rmcj

That last shot That's the icing on the cake.

[Rattlehead]

Very nice, guys! Hanzo is also one of my favorite characters. Right now it's pretty much a tie between him and Junkrat.

Just finished Tales from the Borderlands. Pretty enjoyable but not as good as TTG's other games such as Walking Dead and Wolf Among Us. The ending was especially meh.

That's me right now, also finished playing that and I have pretty much the same opinion. First and second episodes were really great and then it started getting less and less great. Come to think of it, both latest TTG games I've played - Borderlands and Game of Thrones - started out really strong and then became progressively less enjoyable for me with both last episodes being the ones I liked the least.

My TTG games ranking (because that's DTF and we rank things):

The Wolf Among Us
---
The Walking Dead S1
---
Tales from the Borderlands
Game of Thrones
The Walking Dead S2

Haven't played The Walking Dead: Michonne yet, and I have no interest in Minecraft game they're doing.

[SuperTaco]

It's an exciting time to be a gamer. I'm basically just passing the time with Technika Tune and Terraria until Gal*Gun comes out on August 2nd.. Which is gonna pass the time until No Man's Sky comes out a week later, on the 9th.

I don't think I've ever been this excited for a game release, but NMS has caught me in its vast web. Keeping my emotions in check is proving to be a real challenge

What are you guys looking forward to the most in No Man's Sky (if anything)? For me it's three things in particular:
-Exploring and discovering things nobody has seen or will ever see.
-Learning the economy of the game (trading/crafting/factions/etc)
-The center. The "endgame", or is it just the beginning? I'm guessing that the game doesn't totally end when you reach it.

Haven't tried any TTG games. I've seen people play them on Twitch but it doesn't look something I'd enjoy very much.

Played Overwatch a bunch at launch, but it's been a while since I booted it up. The game is great but it just didn't grab me like I thought it would. Honestly, I'm not cut out for competitive shooters because the pressure makes me crumble like a dollar store cookie.

Haven't finished Tales yet, but that looks about right to me, though I'd probably put TWD s2 roughly on a par with s1. Wolf definitely strongest and GoT definitely weakest IMO.

This is of the modern-TT style games of course. Been playing some of their older games like Jurassic Park, BTTF and Puzzle Agent. Fun games but much less substance overall.

[Crow]

I haven't played borderlands 2 yet so i'm holding off on tales until then. walkind dead s1 is probably my favorite still.

life is strange is another pretty good telltale style game, just not made by telltale.

[ReaperKK]

I haven't played borderlands 2

One of my favorite games, you must play it!

This. So much better than the first one. Highly Addictive.

[cramx3]

Picked up Just Cause 3 during the Steam Summer Sale and finally played it last night.

Not as good graphically or gameplay wise as GTA, but pretty fun regardless.

[Lynxo]

Today marks the 4 year anniversary of Game Grumps, one of my favorite gaming related channels on YouTube. <3 Any fans of that here?

[SuperTaco]

I actually like the first game more. Better music and atmosphere, and the jokes were more natural instead of being there simply because jokes are expected, like in the second game.

I'm trying to think of a good series to start with. I think maybe the Super Mario Sunshine series? https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLRQGRBgN_Enq2ZCxRmlhO0QGHqEFe7VnZ

I'd go with Super Mario Maker, Super Mario 64, or Ocarina of Time (this one's a bit frustrating at times).

i only finished the first game by putting on my own music instead of the game's music, so i guess the atmosphere didn't work for me
that also drowned out most of the dialogue, so i just used subtitles, and probably missed some of the jokes
but i wouldn't have even played more than a few hours of it otherwise, so

[Genowyn]

Yo I didn't know there were other lovelies here represent.

Far and away the best Game Grumps series to watch is Shadow of the Colossus IMO.

Very excited that I have tickets to the Ninja Sex Party show in Toronto next month
