If they speak their name over and over, I think.
That doesn't really help in the cases of Mew or Meowth, does it?

Well, obviously if they're capable of full on coherent speech, that probably seals the "not a regular animal" deal, right?That doesn't really help in the cases of Mew or Meowth, does it?
he did say "coherent" speech.
Never apologize for posting Muppets.Dude sang Bohemian Rhapsody, man. Respect.
OK, so his part's not exactly "coherent". I just wanted to post it because it's awesome.
Why can't I like, love, hug, and brofist this post all at once?
(and I know, phrasing...)
...y'know, on the other hand...

Castlevania 1 - cool
Castlevania 2 - Eh
Castlevania 3 - Well, it's the best so it'll obviously be incl....FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!
Star Tropics is great and really underrated, but it has a section that requires you to wet a piece of paper with a code that came with the original game to continue. Did they go in and remove that?

Also, Nintendo, Ice Climbers suck. It's always sucked. No one likes Ice Climbers. Stop trying to make Ice Climbers happen.

Apparently actually getting that company to ship you one can be a pain in the ass.

Mega Man 2 was definitely the right call, though. Kinda surprised Duck Tales and Tetris didn't make the cut when freakin Balloon Fight and DK Jr did... also, I know they're Smash characters now, but Ice Climbers and Kid Icarus were really some bad games. But maybe the better games that didn't appear had licensing issues.
Hey, at least they didn't include Urban Champion. It's like Nintendo tries to cram that into every new release.
Also, neat to see them throw in StarTropics among the batch.
2 is awesome, but I have a massive soft spot for 3. Ice Climbers blows. They should have put 3 in instead of that.
+ Mega Man 3
+ Castlevania 3
- Ice Climbers
- Excitebike

I'd buy that. Also maybe also throw out Kid Icarus and get RC Pro Am instead.
Yes!

AH! They're the same sort of port as on a Wii / WiiU controller.
I can have the entire, original library on my computer in seconds if I want it. Hell, you can easily fit the entire Nintendo library on a flash drive. Why only 30 games? Why not all the Mega Man games and not just 2?
What a waste.
What a waste.

Licensing issues, probably, for most of the ones we've mentioned that got excluded. Especially for ones that are tie-ins to other franchises and whatnot.
Also Mega Man 1 was kinda raw, and 4, 5, and 6 were "meh," and 7 absolutely sucked. 2 was by far the best of the series, and 3 was decently close second.
As for why limiting it to 30... probably to avoid choice paralysis. It's a well known phenomenon that when you give people too many/unlimited choices, they might get overwhelmed. So it sort of makes marketing sense to go with a finite number.
But yeah, some of the choices they made were clearly not optimal.
This is a stocking stuffer kind of gift that fits right in with those same kinds of products like the Atari plug and plays and stuff like that. Something that nails nostalgia for older people.
It's not for dirty pirates like you.
And it's overall pretty cool. I hope they do a Super NES one too.
I wouldn't pirate it if they could offer the same thing.
Considering they remastered Duck Tales, I'm not surprised to see it missing.
Considering Capcom just released that Mega Man remaster collection it's no surprise they only managed to get one title on the list, really.
I always liked Excitebike so I'd rather it stay, but otherwise I agree. Drop Ice Climbers/Icarus for better games.

If these are the HD re-release versions from the Wii/WiiU then they changed it a bit. It was ether they gave you a "letter" item that you could use in-game to get the code or they let you do it via the game's virtual booklet.
The mini-NES will apparently have no internet connection, so no way to buy other NES games from the Virtual Console to fill in the gaps of games that should be on here but aren't. As much as the VC games are overpriced for what they are not having that option makes this that little bit less desirable.
Well it is Nintendo we're talking about. They have this weird, irrational fear of using the internet in any remotely useful and streamlined way.
