I own an NES and quite a few games but this seems like an instabuy for me. Solid list of games. Metroid, Castlevania 1+2 and both Zeldas. Tecomo, the Mario games, and Ghost 'n' Goblins to keep you frustrated. Pretty cool actually that they chose to go with the small form factor.

It's almost as if they priced it so every 35-ish year old in the USA would buy one instantly. I know I'm in that camp.
I feel the same.... a 37-ish here! ;-)
27 here and that would be an insta buy for me if only I owned a TV :(
HDMI should connect to a DVI monitor.
Yeah, too bad your MacBook Pro doesn't allow HDMI in.
Wait does that mean I can use my laptop's screen as a hdmi screen?
HDMI ports can work that way, if the software is in place to support that kind of functionality. However piracy concerns or laziness seem to have trumped that option on the market today.

Yes you should be able to, but no you probably can't

A very small number of laptops can do that, but mostly the answer is "no".
Personally I think Bomberman is missing, we had tons of fun with it (although we used to play super bomberman 5 on SNES)
Saturn Bomberman is where it's at.
My one wish in life is to experience 10 player Bomberman.
I own about half of these too. Been on a little collecting spree lately. But this is a definite buy. Can keep my other Nintendo hooked up to the projector, and put this one in the arcade cabinet.
