Coolest thing I've seen in some time. Even cooler than when the box art for the Wii port of "Okami" accidentally had the IGN watermark on it. Still does. Hilarious mistake.
Seeing the system next to a TV really puts into perspective how small this thing is. I seriously want to see a working NES version of this. Amazing how far technology has come.
"You brought Super Mario Bros.? We don't have an NES!"
"No, see, it is an NES."
"Whoa! Got any games for it?"
*bring out another Super Mario Bros. cartridge*
Watch the guy or girl's head explode as the SMB cartridge is placed into the SMB NES.
If you want an IGN article on this NES thing, here you go:

Visually the new NES looks a lot like the SNES, even the redesigned controller. I was wondering why on earth that new NES was never popular. I was under the impression that since the SNES advertised never having to blow into a cartridge again, that maybe the new NES would also have that benefit. It's also possible that it just looked really goofy, or everyone already had an NES and didn't see the appeal of buying a new one if the old one's not broken (yet).
