Oh and imagine if Nintendo supriced us and under that cart slot lid is USB or SD cart slot...
And as there isn't I hope someone rigs one in there and makes it work.

If I remember corrections it is $60 for the system and $10 for each additional controller...which for a Wii vc controller (Nintendo licensed) is pretty damb good!

You know what I think this is? A mini Wii inside of an NES shell, with Virtual Console games on it. Makes perfect sence, especially considering the controller interface.
Here in Columbus, OH there is a science "musuem" called COSI. They have normal permanent exhibits, plus they usually have a temporary travelling exhibit. Right now the one they have is called "Game Masters: The Exhibition". It's not as cool as I thought it would be, but it's interesting.

They have games from arcade to PS3 and PC, but no Microsoft systems for some reason. They have the games organized by designer and you can put on headphones and listen to interviews and such. There's about 10 arcade machines: Donkey Kong, Pac-Man, etc. They have Sega Saturn and Dreamcast, PS1/2/3, Wii and Wii U and some PC games. The systems are in a display case with one playable game each. That's about all. Now there are NES and N64 Zelda games playable (original and Ocarina), but they are played on Wii with a classic controller. It's funny because in the display case are the original systems with the respective Zelda cart inside, but the controller (a regular black classic controller pro) is plugged into a hidden Wii system on each. Now if you read the display sign, it does mention, for example, "Original system: Nintendo NES, presenting system: Nintendo Wii".
It's funny how there is nothing older than NES and I didn't notice SNES or GameCube, plus nothing from the Xbox line. There was at least one Genesis game (Sonic). No obscure systems like Neo Geo or TurboGrafix. PS3 mainly (only?) showcased indie games. Oh yes, there were handhelds too, but I didn't pay attention to them.

* The console is a standalone device, and does not use physical media of any kind.
* The console is a standalone device, so it cannot connect to the internet or any external storage devices.
* Saving may not be real saves, but just suspension point... like emulators.

Couldn't be LESS excited.
Making carts for it with game collections like the Neo Geo X would have made it less of a dated turd. It's irrelevant and 15 years too late (plug-n-play consoles have been around FOREVER).
We're looking at a new Enviosntec 3D printer. When we get it, I'll just make my own Pi-powered version, and maybe I'll even make little carts to go with it with SD cards inside.
