Very cool.

Agreed.

I still want a ROB

I love how they put the education series next to the light gun series, because education and guns mix so well. Uh, never mind, just shoot that Math game instead.

I wish we could get a R.O.B. replica as a Club Nintendo reward.

They had facebook back in 1986???

Nintendo went to Atari to publish the NES. Atari declined.
wish Kung Fu and Popeye were out on VC.

So nostalgic seeing all of this. It's a missed opportunity to not be able to bring back many of these games to VC due to licensing or technical limitations. At least ROB still lives on somewhat in Mario Kart DS.

wish they made ROB that holds your 3ds or something, just a excuse to have it.

Absolutely AMAZING!!!

I still have my ROB, he doesn't get a lot of use but it sure is a great collector's piece.

@undead_terror That would be awesome.

I found a R.O.B. by complete accident a few years ago. I don't have a NES or any controllers, but as a Smash player who specializes in the character, I do have him sitting above my TV charging his gyro.

Nice, It was funny when I saw the Facebook links in it. I thought wait, Facebook wasn't around in 1986, then I realized!

The return of the R.O.B.! Sounds like a movie. I wish I had one, just for the sake of it.

The Nintendo Game Plan is a good plan

I wonder what prompted Sir Phillips to start spreading his collection around... A hypothesis: What if Nintendo got in touch and is making him something of a viral marketing guy for Wii U? Think about it — sends out all these old promo images, gets older people remembering the good times they had with NES, then Wham! — Phillips starts talking about Wii U on The Today Show, and Matt Lauer talks about reading the Howard & Nester comic books back when he was younger. Hmmm.....

Now pit them all against the Daleks! XD

Hmm... Gumshoe was awesome. Did that ever get any love in Animal Crossing or VC?

I remember this stuff. I'm old.

IT'S DANGEROUS TO SELL NINTENDO ALONE.

And Nintendo made two other "education" games, but one was only released in Japan (Popeye English, which was pretty much just an NES version of Hangman) and the other was completely canceled (Donkey Kong Music).

I though my ROB was lost, so I threw away the accessories. Then, I found him. So now I have a naked ROB.

cool stuff

Forget Reggie, Howard is the man!

Am I the only one that finds "The Video Game System that comes with a friend to play with" absolutely hysterical? Marketing to lonely children, eh?

I remember all those "series". LOL @ Education series... good ol' DKJr. Math
