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.
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.
There are some really good games in here but some oddities. Contra definitely should have been used instead of Super Contra. Another odd thought, some of these games are known for being some of the hardest games around.Agreed, but no Contra?

Ghost 'n Goblins is really hard, as is Zelda II. Contra was hard as well. I also agree with Izzy that they should have had it included. I am very happy one of the Double Dragon games is on there.There are some really good games in here but some oddities. Contra definitely should have been used instead of Super Contra.

I am the only person I have ever met that actually owned Balloon Fight. I really wish I didn't sell my NES and all of my games for dirt cheap when I was a dumb kid.I worked at a used video game store when SNES and Genesis were popular. So we sold used Nintendos and games. I have to say Contra was WAY more popular than Super Contra. Castlevania was a good one they picked, really popular. But I don't think we ever sold a Balloon Fight lol So the list is all over the place from really wise choices to ones I am not so sure about. But this was a really wise move, I think it will be popular. Heck I want oneI still have my SNES but it does not play well on HDMI TVs, so having an old game build to work on HDMI TVs should be a huge plus.
Christmas List here I come![]()

Seriously though these things are gonna get thrown through the TV when the new generation tries to play some of these games... Castlevania, Ghosts N Goblins, Ninja Gaiden, heck even Punch Out (Don't worry I beat Iron Mike Tyson several times). The only way they could have made it harder was if it was Mega Man 1 and add in TMNT and Battletoads.
I don't see these being bought for the younger generation. I think these will be bought by the parents of the newer generations. The parents will play and the kids may play some of them like Mario. So I don't think how hard or easy they are is a big deal.
Are games these days easier? I have gotten out of the Video Game world, so I only really know the older stuff.
Difficulty level can make for a whole new sensation. I am playing Mass Effect 3 again, but changed the difficulty to hardcore, completely changes everything.I think the difference between now and then is that you can choose the difficulty now. I was playing crash last year and haven't been that frustrated in a long time. You also have multiple save points now, if you died in a game 20 years ago, you were back to the start of the level. I predict a lot of angry parents when they can't beat the game they used to and their kids are doing it.
I imagine this will be on sale in the parks.
Found this on a gaming site, a stampede in Central Park last night over Vaporeon showing up. It's hilarious to see people just bailing out of their cars to catch pokemon.
edit: forgot there was a pokemon go thread, so if a mod would prefer to move this over there go right on ahead
Lord Nintendo IP ownership is so confusing with first party, second party, and then third party companies who produce games utilizing Nintendo owned IPs. Been trying to figure this out.
I think in the future however, Mother(Earthbound) will come to the park
I see absolutely no world in which Earthbound gets anything more than a Ness M&G. There's Mario, Donkey Kong, Yoshi, Zelda, Pokemon, Kirby, Animal Crossing, and Metroid that are more iconic then that.

Honestly, I'd question if Kirby, Animal Crossing or Metroid gets anything. They're smaller IPs. It depends if they go for a "generic Nintendo theme" or if they go for a Mushroom Kingdom theme
