USgamer has a hands-on: http://www.usgamer.net/articles/nes-classic-edition-hands-on-impression-big-on-fun-light-on-features

Seems to have been from an event, so I imagine other outlets will have impressions as well, if you have a site you prefer.

Id say if you have big hands yeah not a good fit

From what I saw those Fami controllers will be usable.

[Necromancer]

I didn't mean non-functional.  I mean so uncomfortable to hold that they're useless for anything other than looking awesome.

Ah gotcha.

Have you guys seen this yet? Blew my mind. It's backwards of what one would normally assume.

*Classic Mini vs. Wii U VC*

[crazydean]

It's not that surprising. The virtual console is know to be pretty terrible. The surprise is that the classic actually looks good.

I don't agree with the sound  being better. The virtual console sound is they way I remember it.

Wii VC is extremely good. Wii U VC is, apparently, another story. I only have two games for Wii U VC but I've spent much more time with Wii VC. My opinion is that the Wii is probably the best box for outputting old school video that you could imagine. Quality is ROCK SOLID when using component video and an SD set. If the NES Mini does exactly what the Wii VC did but over HDMI then it's absolutely worth the asking price.

Regardless, NES/FC Mini and the Wii and even the Wii U crush any NES experience we had in the 80s and it does it for about the cost one NES cart. This is a pretty easy thing to buy with confidence.

[Mathius]

I agree that the Wii VC is outstanding. Super Mario 3 looks spectacular on my CRT w/ component cables with its impressive scanlines. Wii U on the other hand looks dark. I was thinking my one Wii U VC title, Earthbound Beginnings, was a fluke when I saw how dark the picture was.

I already wanted the Mini- NES and now I want the Mini-Famicom. I think they are a fun novelty. Nether are going to replace my AV Famicom with the NESRGB mod but this would be fun to bring over to a friends house.

Wouldn't it be better to bring over a flash cart instead?

My friends suck and don't have SDTV or old consoles, so I see why this is a problem.

I love the novelty of this, but I know I would literally never play it. Maybe someone will buy it for me for Christmas or something.

Thank you!

I will PM my address.

Again, thank you for gifting mini-NES to me and my family!
