    Default Nintendo is releasing a miniature NES with 30 built-in games

    Yes!!!!! I am excited. Here I thought Nintendo was going to keep making poor decisions

    What about other people?

    Today the company announced what it's calling the Nintendo Entertainment System: NES Classic Edition. It looks just like a NES, only a lot tinier, and it comes with 30 games built in. You can connect it to your TV via a HDMI cable, and it also includes a controller designed to work just like the iconic rectangular NES gamepad.

    I absolutely love this! I knew about this console, but not the specific games or the price. This is amazing. Love their choice of games, love the price point. Can't wait!

    No idea why this took so long - they did this for Atari 2600 ages ago and I believe there is a Sega version, although the latter has a poor selection of games. I guess the only question is whether to wait until the inevitable SNES or settle for this in the interim.

    There are too many classics on this one to not get it.

    I will probably be buying this. My NES did not work very well (most games could not run at all) so i got rid of it. My only other choice is an emulator on PC.

    no Blades of Steel?

    TBH some hours are going to be burnt on that... I just hope it does the games justics.. I still remember being amazed at the graphics it produced on Super Mario 3!

    I'm so buying this. My oldest son is turning 4 in October, so this is just perfect timing to get him started with a lot of the same games I grew up with! (well technically, I guess that would have been Atari, but whatever)

    10th year Keeper League, Fantrax

    14 teams, H2H, keep 10, daily starts
    G (3), A (2), +/- (1), PIM (0.1), PPP (1), FOW (0.1), FOL (-0.1), BLK (0.5), HAT (3), W (5), SO (3), SV (0.1), GA (-0.5)

    C (3) - Schmaltz (LW, RW), Mercer (RW), Norris (IR), Domi (LW), T. Johnson (RW), Nosek (LW)
    LW (3) - Keller (RW), Hagel, McCann (C), Zacha (LW), Kubalik (RW), N. Foligno (IR)
    RW (3) - Fiala (LW), Vilardi (C), Ehlers (LW), Kakko
    D (4) - Theodore, Orlov, Grzelcyk, T. van Riemsdyk, Clifton, Skjei, Weegar
    Util (1)
    G (1) - Montembault, Allen, Halak

    Really wish it came with Double Dribble, Blades of Steel, Baseball Superstars, and obviously.... Contra

    Why not Super Tecmo?

    While I love the concept of this, they could have hit a homerun by better game selection. But it's still a double.
    10 Team, 60 Player Roster
    G, A, PTS, PPP, PIM, BLKs, Hits, +/-, Shots, W, GAA, SV%, Saves
    C- JHughes, Trocheck, RThomas, Zegras, Norris, Bennett, PLD, Stephenson, Danualt
    RW- Raymond, Stone, TWilson, Toffoli, KJohnson, Nyqvist, Zary
    LW- Keller, Schmaltz, Bunting, Skinner, Barbashev, Duclair
    D- QHughes, McAvoy, Doughty, Heiskanen, LHughes, Mintyukov
    G- Shesterkin, Demko, Andersen, Kahkonen, Levi, Tarasov, Annunen

    Notable Prospects- Nikishin, Kulich, Leonard, Wood, Perreault, Lekkermaki, Ostlund, Othmman, REvans, L-Heureux, Ivanov, Murashov
