Is there any reason why the preorders are still not up in North America yet but are in Europe weeks ago?

@DarthNocturnal Not quite. To FULLY recreate the VC tradition, they'd have to delay preorders until next year (after its out).

Meh, NES mini doesn't have THE 2 best NES games of all times (besides the 30 games listed): Vice - Project Doom, Gyruss. Why would I want it?

@DarthNocturnal You have to remember it's not aimed at a hardcore Nintendo fan the NES Classic is aimed at more as an introductory system that's why they have the games they do. Megaman II for example is often held as the best in the Mega Man series, having one would scare players away cause of the difficulty and 4, 5, 6 are good but just not as good as two. So they wanted the best each franchise has to offer.

As for Tetris that's due to the rights. The right holder and Nintendo aren't on the best of terms.

If they don't want to scare new costumers with hard/bad entries, then what are Castlevania 2 and Zelda 2 doing on that list

Wow did you guys take my post out of context. My point is that Mega Man 2 is the favorite and seen as the best of the series that's why they included it and not any of the other six.

I did understand your context. Just saying that including Zelda/Castlevania 2 alongside their better-received brothers kinda goes against the idea.

They could've just included only one game from those series and put something else in place. Two extra puzzle or sport games could've rounded up the list a bit better.

Though you're definitely right that MM2 was probably chosen because it's the best of the bunch.

I thought Contra was one of the announced games?

Castlevania III is likely due to the MMC5 chip, which would increase the code complexity.
My guess is they didn't want to go overboard with single franchises to boost game variety. (except of course Mario, because... it's Mario.)

I'd have said Gradius II excluded due to not being "nostalgic" for most owners. But then Final Fantasy 1 is included, and for Europe I think this is the first time the NES version will technically be "physically" released there.
I played FF1 a while ago and it was still fun, but it contains a number of bugs that while technically not game-breaking, knowing your way around them might be needed to increase enjoyment.

@Meowpheel With Zelda it's probably the same reason as why they have all 3 Mario games, because it's Zelda. As for Castlevania II my only guess is because Castlevania II has become quite popular especially due to the AVGN mainly cause it was his first video.

Is anyone familiar enough with the NES games to know which of the MIni Console games will have co-op/versus multiplayer? It seems like Mario Bros, Super C(contra), Double Dragon II? Ice Climbers?

@KingMike it also has quite a few design flaws. The poison swap area full of zombies right out side of the third cave is still one of my most unpleasant nes memories. And to think people complain about ocarina's water temple. 😬

@CDavis7M pac man, dr Mario, balloon fight, Tecmo bowl, and balloon fight also have co-op. It may have a few more. This is off the top of my head.

Bubble Bobble also has multiplayer, and SMB3 had a little minigame.

Super C also has multiplayer; how did I forget THAT?

Personally, I'd have liked if they did a Mini NES 2, I always liked its styling! Also, all this talk of the NES Classic Edition, I wonder, will Japan get a Famicom Classic Edition? I'll be interested in seeing what that would look like... Or is this gonna be one of the rare instances where we actually get something great and they don't?!

@Pahvi Well, if I were them, I'd make the controllers detachable in the same way as the NES ones, with ports on the front...

Yeah but if they want to keep it true to the original Famicom, they will have them built in.
