Thom Grayson:
I find it oddly concerning that they don't have pictures from any other angle than straight down... I want to know what the front is going to look like!

French NES has RGB output but that is not real RGB as it is converted from Composite signal inside NES.

To get RGB out of an NES, you need the PPU from a Playchoice 10 cabinet. You literally need to destroy a Nintendo arcade game to mod an NES for RGB.
Also, RGB on NES with the PC10 PPU has compatibility issues. Some colors are different or are the wrong hues. I don't know how they'll make it RGB and 100% compatible without rebuilding the hardware from scratch and charging a ridiculous amount of money.

This is no longer true. Viletims RGB mod requires no sacrificial parts.

You would have to be an absolute idiot to buy this nes console. Spending that kind of money on an nes clone is freaking ridiculous. Unless your that rich and that bored with your money I would just stick to buying an nes top loader, the retron 5 when it comes out, or just make a cheap pc emulator and play your nes games through hdmi through that method.

To be honest most people call us retro game players idiots for buying games when you can emulate them. I don't think anyone has the right to call someone an idiot for how they enjoy spending their money. Only time you can complain is when someone spends your money.
