The NES is now 20 years old What does Nintendo have planned?

[spoon]

Nintendo/other companies seemed to go all out for the Famicom's 20th anniversary. I know that they get all the cooler stuff overseas, but, I was wondering if any of you had any ideas about what Nintendo may do to celebrate two decades of NES love?

I myslef thought Nintendo would hold out and release the NES themed GBA Sp this year. I would guess they saw how much $$ the Famicom version was bringing in and could not wait to get it out over here.

Maybe a Nintendo version of the Gamecube or DS?
Any books, DVDs?
Maybe a Gamecube compilations or classics collection series of discs? (unlikely, but, a guy can dream)

[Perkar]

my guess is more of the NES Classics line on the GBA.... other than that, i don't see any classic compilations for the GC really. nintendo knows they can hawk their shit piece by piece on the GBA, so why bother with a compilation that will cut into the profits of the GBA games.

a 20 year retrospective book would be nice...

picture an NES style gamecube..

thatd be about as cool as they come!

[rdangela]

I wish Nintendo would release something Nes related for the game cube

A compilation disk with 20 or 30 of the best Nes games and 2 original style controls, now that would be awesome

They should, hell everyone is doing it now...Don't you want to be Cool Nintendo!? PEER PRESSURE!

[Ninja Blacksox]

All I want is an "NES Classics" line that includes "Baseball Stars."

They could charge $100 for it, and I'd still buy it.

Don't say that too loudly, they might just do it!

Hmm. I'd be surprised if Nintendo called this the 20th year anniversary.

[Great Hierophant]

The NES wasn;t released until October 1985, so they have time to think something up.

I remember someone made one of these by taking his GC apart and painting it, and when looking for an image of it, I came across this. I don't think it's the same one, especially because of the controller which wasn't a part of the project:

Here's the controller:

The website with these images is in Chinese, so I have no idea if this is official or anything.

[Ed Oscuro]

You found that on a Chinese site? That explains the jeux-france.com logo on the bottom LOL

But actually, that looks pretty darn sweet. MAKE AN NES/SNES PLAYER* and I'll be good to go!

*why? because it'd be cheap!

That gamecube is sweeeeeeeeeet!!! I think it would be cool if they made a few compilation games. There is already the Megaman one, but Nintendo could release compilations of some of their other big series that were featured on the NES.

make it 200 or 300.

[qbertandernie]

that gamecube is awesome!

and yes, an snes/nes player like the gameboy player would benefit the world dramatically. but just think of how sparse the carts would be then?

In a heartbeat.

30 ported games with 2 "limited controllers", say $59 MSRP? Most definitely!

[vintagegamecrazy]

That would be great, maybe they could even throw in some non us games in the compilation too.

Thanks, I'll take a look around :)

[rbudrick]

It would rock if Nintendo released an All in One system like that new Atari 7800 system with a bunch of games built in.

But doesn't Nintendo sell those at the malls across the US already? :P

[Barbarianoutkast85]

That NES gamecube would look sweet.

[izret101]

That Gamecube i freakin awesome!

Nintendo could get the whole systems library onto 1 of the mini DVD things i bet.

[kainemaxwell]

That Gamecube is so sweet! I'd so buy it!!

[ig88vsbobafett]

I think they should make a 1/3 Size NES and release 1/3 size cartrages for it
And sell it for like $40 for the system and $10 to $20 for the games

[kainemaxwell]

So was that Gamecube Photoshopped, real over in Asia, or a custom paint job?

[TheRedEye]

20 or 30?
make it 200 or 300.

Yeah, okay. You come up with a list of 200 NES games that are actually enjoyable, then we'll talk.

EDIT: Keep in mind that only currently-existing IPs from participating companies (Namco, Hudson, Konami, Capcom, etc.) would be licensed, should they wish to participate. Still, though, name 200 enjoyable NES games from any and all companies. Hell, include Famicom if you want.

[Doonzmore]

Sign over the rights to Songbird and Telegames to allow them to produce Nes games! :D

[The Manimal]

20 or 30?

I have around 350 NES games, and I find all enjoyable. I figure there's maybe 20 more games I'd like to check out, and that's about it.

[Jasoco]

I'd much rather have them all portable. I'm still hoping for more Classic NES GBA games.

Nintendo would probably still include the crappy ones.
