And while that's true; there is something to note. from what it seems, we can only guess if they have Nintendo in the Lower Lot of USH; they have to use SS's 29, 31, the cluster of soundstages next to Transformers and Mummy and Revenge of The Mummy; as that would be about 8 acres.
There is another option, of having Nintendo where the current Tram plaza, maintenance bay, and several other facilities next to the plaza that would make sense. That would technically be Nine acres; close to the size of what I outlined from USJ.
Well, they just got rid of BTTF for Minions so I guess Jaws' fate was written on the metaphorical wall. If E.T. goes the way of the Dodo in USF how many classic Universal attractions would be left worldwide other than the Tram Tour?
This is my reason for opposing the rumors of Digaon Alley over there. Using whatever space they have for more Potter would be too much of one thing. Use it to diversify.

Here's what I know, after Europe in 2018, we are doing Asia.
The thinking is Tokyo to Osaka by bullet train. This has my son very excited.

Beat me to it
I think Nintendo should release something like this that has its own online shop to buy more games rather than making new online shops and having to rewrite the software for each new system. Just look at how the Wii U doesn't even have all the Virtual Console games from the Wii.
Do you think Universal would get a discount if they bought 5200 of them for every room on site?
That would be absolute genius.
Just goes to show how much further this deal could go.
My concern would be how easily people could steal them but it would take me back to the 90s when it seemed like every Orlando hotel had a SNES in the room with games in a vending machine in the lobby.

Maybe instead of that they could let you pick one up at concierge or front desk to bring to your room. I'm not sure if Universal has something like this, but when we stayed at Disneyland a year ago we could pick up Disney/Marvel/Lucasfilm DVDs at the concierge desk. Something like that would but with these mini-NES consoles would be great.
I've never stayed on-site (I know, I know), but I imagine that the TVs have some kind of hotel on-demand system that has games + the like on it with a crappy hotel remote / gamepad, right? I could seriously imagine Nintendo putting their older games on there.
I couldn't see them distributing the consoles on the front desk. That means the TVs would have easy port access for the NESes to plug into. Which means anybody with a laptop could be plugging in a DVD player or Netflix instead of buying an expensive on-demand movie.

Cool, might get it when it comes out. A few years back a Sega Genesis emulator came out that was shaped like it, stores like Family Dollar, Walgreens and CVS used to sell them.
Really smart of Nintendo to do this, release an official emulator, this will be a hit I think.

The problem with tvs like these is that there is so much lag.
I've never really been a Nintendo fan but I love this idea. If they could make one for the PS1, I'd be completely sold.

Atari did the same, realistically you'll be able.to get these for less because.... Christmas sales.
Still a proud owner of my original system and plenty of games.
