the UI isn't exactly retro, save states and all... So it's not exactly doing the job 100% if you want to stay on point.

This is all a suggestion, as a means to pursue other options.
If people knew they could find all classics in one spot it would create a new customer, the same one this box is going after. People are not buying Nintendo's regular consoles primarily to play classics.

Nintendolife, this article is clickbait and troll country, and you know it, adding Nintendo in the title doesn't excuse the fact, SHAME.

You know this is cool and all, but considering how the mini is a closed system with a limited number of games (albeit lots of gaming hours and fun!) I don't see the WANT (although I do see a need) in investing more than the base set.

I'm skipping this one in hopes that Nintendo releases an SNES mini (such love), but I kind of wish Nintendo made this thing with the possibility of buying more games from a VC eshop, oh the possibilities.... On that note, I also wished they would have released a full on retro box, that you could either buy games individually over eshop or pay a monthly subscription for all VC access.

Diddy Kong Racing.....wait for it..... RETURNS!!!

@SLIGEACH_EIRE I feel like there were more GC to Wii ports, but eh..
1) I dunno if TP counts because they were simultaneous released.
2) I dunno if Metroid Prime Trilogy counts because it includes 3.
3) that would leave all of the New Play Control games (6 I believe) 4) and Resident Evil 4 ( which will continue to be ported till the end of time), hmmm I cant think of any others at the moment.

What I really want and have always wanted is for Nintendo to port (upgrade etc..) it's GC games, I know it's unlikely, but the possibility of analog shoulder pads in the NX gives me hope for at least VC GC if not full on HD ports, but there is such a wealth of games on that console, it would be unfortunate for them not to bring some back.

@bherdm We cant forget that Smash 3DS and the Upcoming Sun & Moon run much smoother and load quicker on the NN3DS. There are also a few Eshop only NN3DS games like the Binding of Isaac and others... don't forget the exclusive SNES games.

I think I may upgrade from my original XL, I've been wanting a NN3DS (non XL) and love the look of these! Good job Nintendo!

@NX64 it only works if you don't know it's coming.

@WilliamCalley some people like authentic and legal means of playing the games, others are just big collectors. I find myself not caring about games when I can illegally download them, it's like yeah sure they are all there at my disposal, but it doesn't feel earned or real or authentic, something just feels off, that's just my opinion, you can do as you please, ROMs just don't excite me. This is why I generally don't buy digital either (unless it's an indie title).

When we get an SNES Mini, call me, till then I'll let others have this.

LIke most people are saying, this is LONG overdue, it's welcome, and hopefully releases in more countries with this update, but many many people have stopped playing, me included. I'll give it a look see when it arrives, but not sure if it will hold my attention for long.

Also yes to those wanting a better My Nintendo, it really needs to happen, also Nintendo needs to bring back the digital promotion that the wii U had for only a short period of time, allowing us to earn $ when we spent $$$.

@Aurumonado they won't disappear, But it's highly unlikely that Nintendo would dump so many AAA (regardless if they are ports or not) at launch, they've never really had more than 2 retail ready games at launch for any recent console, so I don't see them going above and beyond this, sine they would like to stretch out releases to give people time to get them all.

@yomanation It's not about speculation, good ports sell, that's just a fact. You may not want them or buy them, but they sell.

I agree, the Switch needs new games not ports to really woo people, me included, but there's nothing wrong with ports in so much as they add to the original and are not a quick cash-in.

I get the point is about launch titles, and of course if all Launch titles were just ports, that would be pretty poor, but obviously that won't be the case, although its very rare for Nintendo to have more than 2 launch titles of their own, so if they can cushion that with some ports, then why not?

@yomanation but millions of people will be, so...

I mean it's no wonder why ports are so popular on PS4 and XBONE, they make money, and as we have seen and will see, there are even ports of ports being sold at FULL retail price, and they're still selling bucketloads, its just a way of life now for consoles that are no longer backwards compatible (although MS is slowly changing that)

@ieatdragonz Tomodachi life would like to prove you wrong.

@bluedogrulez eh, if these parents are buying Nintendo now, they will buy Nintendo later, so no I don't think my analysis misses that at all, as this also would just delay those sales for the Switch until a later date. We can't all own a Switch right out of the gate.

@Spoony_Tech "They will want as many games as they can get day one."

Why does anyone think this is the mentality Nintendo should have? What we should be saying is that they need to have a strong and diverse lineup ready on day one, but "as many games as they can" is just asking for shovelware, sure sure it's inevitable, but not at launch.

@bluedogrulez steal sales??? hardly, if someone is buying a Wii U this close to Switch or even after Switch its for one of 2 reasons,

1- they are a collector and know if they don't get it now they might have a hard time in the future,
2- Nintendo (miraculously) gave the system a much needed price drop and its people on a budget who always buy last gen consoles that are scooping it up.

Either way its not going to "steal" sales from the Switch, because eventually these people will also buy a Switch, just not at launch, but they were never going to do so in the first place.

@Anti-Matter It should of had one ages ago, sadly I'm not sure Nintendo cares to give it an official price cut at this point, but we'll see, it would give a nice last hurrah before Christmas...

Looking forward to see how it does, but I care more about playing it at this point... 3 weeks to go

I'm just looking for a Stories release date in NA, I don't really care for MH. I can see the appeal, but it's just not my thing... maybe Stories can woo me like the main series can't and then who knows...

This sounds more like, "3DS still has momentum, we are releasing games on it still and it has a strong third party lineup, we don't need to kill it, it will die on its own once all companies have SWITCHED over". A more natural death, than the one the Wii U received, but it will still be laid out to pasture, but my guess is not until sometime in 2018 (at the earliest).

It's weird that Nintendo is calling it one of their big Holiday 2016 releases in Japan, but then saying details will come at a "Later Date". CouCou! the holidays are upon us, It's freakin' snowing already!!! (well it is here)

@SLIGEACH_EIRE You make it sound so simple, my guess is that it's not. But who knows, maybe this will become a feature.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE If the dock is what allows the "console" to connect to the TV, how do you propose two screens be used, without requiring a lot of resources and latency issues by streaming to the tv?

@Captain_Toad In all likelyhood, unless those eshop games used the gamepad in any significant way, they will most likely (Id hope) be moved to switch, I hope eshop integration happens.

@Kmno the Virtual boy has no competition for the Worst, i think it only had 22 games (only 14 in NA), and no great ones at that. The Wii U while a commercial failure did produce some of the best (if limited) software Nintendo has made, it also gave us Splatoon, so we should be grateful for that.

"We want people to TOUCH the device"

well of course.

@BlatantlyHeroic some people are getting both, so it really doesn't matter, and some of us don't care THAT much about what is exclusive to one or the other. I'd actually love it if they made just one version (I know madness!)

We pre-ordered both, I wasn't sure I was gonna get it on day 1, but last time I didn't get ORAS at the same time as the hubby and was sad that I couldn't play as well, so I'm not letting that happen this time!!

Why are so many people on here SHOCKED!!! at the idea of the portable being sold separately? We still are 100% certain of what the dock does, if it houses or can house more power etc...

Also, as if NO ONE has thought of this already, but if someone is going on vacation or on a business trip (as the trailer so clearly shows) there needs to be some way to charge the device WITHOUT the dock (because seriously if they don't do this then whats the point) , so a portable only version is clearly plausible and inevitable, so stop being so SHOCKED!.

@capitalism everyone I know has multiple consoles (well those who play games that is) so it might just be the group you hang out with. I'd say the general gaming community is more likely to have more than one.

@123akis that all depends on when this teaser was shot? it wasn't done a week before the reveal.

@Edwin except this isn't a commercial, this is basically a teaser before the trailer.

@ReifuTD but ugly.

@TwilightOniAngel that happened months ago.

@Anti-Matter other than the fact that it has a cartridge slot, how is this 3DS backwards compatible? no dual screens so I doubt backwards compatibility, and if it does its gonna be weird like wii U does DS.

@Megapokepaul that doesn't mean its not a port,

a port can have all of those things, the original kept getting new things. Hey look, I'd love it to be a sequel, but right now that's unclear.

@Aaron09 probably splatoon port, but i'd expect a splatoon 2 in the near future.

@aaronsullivan it's clear this isn't a PS4 Pro or Scorpio Killer, what this is is a beefed up Wii U on the GO! and I'm down with that.

@Spagem you don't have an ereader I suppose.

It's neat because typical e-readers dont have that much storage, for good reason, books dont take up much space, but manga does, so it's neat that they are targeting a specific market only in japan, when they haven't done so in the west.

It's kinda cool, now if we could only get colour e-ink readers

or New SMB

And if it is indeed true, I really hope its not Galaxy 3.

No where in that tweet did he say it was a launch title, wishful thinking on your part, if it is, even better, but most likely they wanted to smooth out things for whatever demo they might show (if this is even true of course).

@Gorlokk read some more rumours, always fun.

Re-Hyped, I preordered it after E3, and normally I don't preorder but I'm a sucker for a good deal, so I did it. My interest was waning, but this has brought it back to life

10 am (gonna take a nice long coffee break

where is everyone_______'o____'o____

@Grumblevolcano except DeNa isn't focused on NX, sure they're helping with online infrastructure, but it's clear by this post & others that their focus is mobile, so not sure the NX not selling well would have a huge effect if mobile nintendo games do super well.

"Dinner" is clearly DeNa written on a dumb smartphone trying to be clever.
