Nintendo NES mini coming!

Ed Mandy is working on a Pi that goes in a GBA case. This works perfectly, IMO, since OG GBAs are pretty much worthless due to the shitty screen.

I prefer sitting on the floor. I hardly ever sit on the sofas in the living room. I sit or lay on a nice rug. In the bedroom floor space is limited so I lay on my bed to game / watch DVDs.

Japan gets a different line up of games and the controllers are really small!

I think North America is getting a better lineup of games...

BUT I AM A FOOL and I want both minis simply because of (1) novelty factor and (2) I am so curious about whether or not this will actually be a "quality" product. Yes, I've read the arguments...I know Nintendo has a solid track record when it comes to products (it's why I trust them). But still....this is new territory.

Anyway, the reality is that I won't get either one until (hopefully) they are deeply discounted at some future point in time

Deeply discounted meaning what? $20?

Two exclusive Technos games means a lot, but the US version is at least as good. Pre-wired pads compared to Wii compatible ones is not an upgrade.

The little Famicom controllers are cute and match the system, but probably not very comfortable for longer gaming sessions.  The 2 Kunio games makes me want the Famicom version as well.

I will definitely need to get both, f*cking Nintendo and their nostalgic grip on me.

Does the Australian system have the same games as the U.S.?  Seems like they wouldn't care about Tecmo Bowl.

No, I would imagine it would be replaced with something like Crocodile Rugby

I forgot how popular people with fake Cajun accents are in Australia.

Well, you have been quoted as saying the entire American South is "upside down" so it fits.

Indeed. And any region above NJ = Southern Canada.

Yep,
We have all of your campaign speeches recorded. Mr. Future Australian Prime Minister!
