You are correct, it is a Raspberry Pi, hardware wise. Sorry, I bought the device and it was labeled a RetroPi and when it boots up that's what displays.
That's what I did... great decision
Too late... I bought a RetroPie and it's one of the best decisions I made. Works flawlessly and now I can play all the old games I want. Sorry Nintendo, but when a RetroPie was $100 less than what I wanted (which was your mini NES) I have to jump on it.
Recommend it to anyone who loves gaming early 80s thru 90s
Hey ESPN, check back with the Mario Kart Wii and Mario Kart 7 attach rates (36.83 mil & 13.35 mil FYI)... both much lower than the attach rate for Wii U version of Mario Kart.
Zelda on Wii U and Zelda on Switch (initially) will have close to a 50% attach rate. If not only for the simple fact that basically only "core" gamers bought a Wii U or are buying a Switch at launch. I'd bet by June the attach rate is close to 50%.
I pre-ordered back in January! Can't believe the demand for this LOL. How many Switch copies do you think they printed? 2 mil console is what I have heard, so 1 mil copies of BotW? More?
The attach rate for this will probably mimic Mario Kart 8, it's like at 67% or something crazy.
They could have a "Link" in those events. We didn't know about the "Link" in any game prior to it coming out. Maybe Link in OoT had a father who also had the hero's bloodline and the Unification War would be about THAT "LInk".
I really wish, if they were concerned about a time-line, they would have games that occured during really cool events we haven't had games in.
I want a game during the "Imprisoning War", I want a game during the "Era of Chaos", or even a prequel during the "Unification War" before OoT would be cool.
I love how anything that has a big enemy will get a SotC reference.
No way it's better than TLOU though. Stop. This game looks great and maybe it will do things better than other open-world games do, but unless the story is a top-5 video game story ever written it won't touch TLOU.
Shit, "Ish's" story in TLOU is more interesting than most video game stories.
Well... they're a business... if console players buy game X for $15 on console while other players buy it for $1-5 on mobile, then I would hope the companies involved would be trying maximize profit. I hope they charge as much as they can or as much as people will pay.
Whose fault is it? No one's fault. This is how the market works. It's their product, they can charge what they want, it's my money, I can spend it how I want.
Who said they should care? I am more entertained and shocked by the response than anything else. Very interesting. I don't care about their desire for PS success, never said anyone should care about my preferences.
Very amusing to see people come to the rescue of PS/Horizon when it wasn't even attacked. I have no personal interest in any company's success, others seem to have interest in that. I want video games.
Whoa, chill out buddy... if Zelda hadn't come out so close to Horizon it wouldn't be on the top of my mind. If you really took my post as yelling about Zelda, then so be it. It is too bad Zelda comes out and I won't be buying both, but at least games get cheaper over time.
Forgot any mention of a product outside of PS4/Horizon would be attacked.
Why are you bothered at me talking about Zelda? What's the point?
Big mad ...
I just said things b/c I wanted to. Put a smile on my face to see the comment was taken defensively by so many people. I didn't know the desire for Horizon to succeed was so strong. I just wanted to play a good game and eluded to the fact that I bought Zelda/Switch and ergo wouldn't be buying a game that comes out 3 days prior.
What's the point of being offended I chose to buy game X now vs game Y later? Interesting look at the small echo-chamber that is N4G...
Hopefully! Nintendo doesn't drop their prices too often, minus the 3DS launch.
I hope so... why wouldn't it? I'll buy it later when it's discounted on PSN. Decided I wanted a Zelda experience instead. I hope you make money if PS does well.
LOL geez you have a huge hole in your gaming library! I hope you play Chrono Trigger, Mario 64, OoT, and other great games at some point in your life. You are missing out!
I could care less... your yearly dividend's going up if Horizon does better or worse than BoTW? Insecure much? I am just happy to have a new Zelda now and new IP for a discount later. I hope you are happy with the game(s) you play too.
I guess I should have clarified... I meant for me LOL It's too bad for me that I pre-ordered and got the Switch for BoTW. Didn't want to also drop the $60 on Horizon.
Wasn't trying to insinuate one over the other.
I do wonder the age of most of you responding... arguing about copies sold and being off of Nintendo LOL. Are you shareholders with Sony? It's ironic as I spend my time primarily playing PS4/Vita but what does that even mean?...
It's too bad for this game that the Switch/New Zelda comes out 3 days later. My time will be focused on BoTW. This does mean I should get a pretty sweet deal later in the year for a great game.
I hate to say this, but I was waiting... and waiting... for the NES Classic to have more stock. Then I heard rumblings the production had ceased, I was let-down at not having a good chance to get my own. This caused me to finally buy a RetroPi off ebay for $150 with thousands of emulated games on it from various systems.
I didn't want it to come to this Nintendo, but when the cheapest NES Classic $200+ on ebay and a RetroPi pops up for cheaper, you've left me no ...

Honestly, I would say it does upscale HD properly. I mean, they look like old games and mine is on a 60inch TV (it looks prettier on my smaller 42inch) so sometimes I mess with the aspect ratio to make it look better. However, I am not versed in the tech or how it works other than my personal use of it.
BUT - I have (had) a SNES hooked up to the same TV and played Super Mario World on SNES and then loaded it up on the Pi and I 100% liked the way t...
