I wonder about the possibilities of modding a cartridge slot in there. A NES with an HDMI port is something I've wanted for a while, and this might just be the way to get it.

4 Game Freak:
Oh, this is good!

And why start there? Why not give the Game Boy the chance to show itself to the new generation as well?

It should have the functions of a Game Boy Pocket, a Game Boy Light, & a Super Game boy, all in one! Playable, comfortable, & useable, with up to 20 Game Boy Titles included!

It could also have a Game & Watch collection included as well. Probably.

CrossEyed7:
I wanna know what's inside of them. I'm thinking they had a lot of Wii Minis left over and they're reusing those. If that's the case, they could make a mini SNES, N64, and Gamecube too.

Lizard Dude:
I can't believe StarTropics made the list.  XD XD

No. It won't have any of the guts of an NES. This is just like a pre-loaded Virtual Console machine. But several companies do make machines that play NES cartridges through HDMI (RetroN 5, Analogue Nt) or more complicated HDMI mods to original NES consoles (Hi-Def NES).

I wonder if these things will be able to connect to the internet to buy DLC or even access the full VC store. It's possible, but I'm guessing NOT to keep both their manufacturing costs and complexity down. Anyone who would care that much probably long ago bought into the Wii/Wii U VC. This is an impulse buy product for total n00bs. But maybe they'll want to lure those in and then sell them DLC. I dunno.

The real gem here is the Wii-compatible NES controllers. I have no use for the full product but will insta-buy two controllers.
