Analogue Interactive making nes console!
wiggy:
If it has an all aluminum housing that isn't simply made of folded sheet, then expect it to be pricey.
BadChad:
Well if its that aluminum housing that's gonna eat up a large chunk of the cost, I say release an alternate plastic housing at a reduced cost. Why the hell would I need an expensive aluminum NES anyway, and pay a crazy price for one. Were in 2014 now, is it still common to be complete irresponsible with our cartridge consoles anymore? ;)
Anyway, the cost of the CMVS makes sense to me. But if this NES adds up anywhere near that just for the sake of a fancy aluminum case and RGB, I don't see the value (not that I was interested in buying one anyway).

I've worked on a few emulator projects and have been in emulation channels for 13 years now, and I do not know of anyone major into emulation who would bash collecting games. I *LOVE* emulation myself for a few reasons. Easy of finding a game, I just go through a list. Bad batteries do not eat your saves in the middle of gameplay on an emulator (Damn you, Link's Awakening DX!). But for me, the MAJOR reason I love emulators, if I can't play for more than 5-10 mins at a time, I don't want to play level 1 over and over and over, I'm busy damn it. Hence, saving anywhere with saved states rock.
While I hate people who bash collecting games (Jelly bastards), I don't like how people outside emulation bash emulators thinking they're "imperfect". My crappy old nes is imperfect, half the time links life bar is all 999999999999 rather than lines. With some exceptions (Sony systems in general, newer systems, Saturn\DC, XBOX ect), you can't see the issues with emulators. Different chips inside different hardware releases cause more issues than you'd find in established emulators. They almost always have better support than the console-on-a-chip junk you see now a days.
