Yeah, my thoughts exactly - unfortunately at the moment it seems it will really only play those 30 games. I own a few NES games myself and think it would be pretty cool if it had in-built games as well as capability to play cartridges. Maybe it will, nothing like that has been announced though.

Looks interesting, too bad it doesn't play carts but for $2/game it seems worth it.
More of a novelty but hey, I might pick one up just for the heck of it.
That's cool news! :-)
Might be fun to play the classics again!
Going to pick this up just as a collectible since I'm using a Raspberry Pi for emulators and such and since it can't use cartridges i will keep my original NES up.

I have a NES from back in the day that I just put away in my room, will definitely be getting this since the games are already pre-installed. SUPER MARIO BROS

I want to get around to finally making one of those DIY emulators that run of the Raspberry Pi Zero in an old Gameboy case :)

Ew, not even Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance.
Just kidding, looks like a pretty cool idea, but I think having a Pi for emulation and stuff would be a better idea, unless you really do want to have the cool case.
Remember, we don't know if it will work with any other games for your cartridges yet.

Actually we do; Nintendo has announced there will be no physical media and will not connect to the internet at all or get virtual boy games.

This is going to be really cool actually. I hope it's a success for them.
Nowadays? I'm just here for the nostalgia.
Only $60. Heard about this a few days back. Can't see a good reason NOT to get it. Hopefully they put it on Amazon :/
This is awesome. I'm definitely getting one.

Who woudnt? This is going to make a killing, and for such a simple idea :)

But yeah; like Nintnedo stocks have gone up 70% last time I heard, something crazy like that since the latest Pokemon GO, Mini NES, Nintendo NX and shit
