hey guys is Austin so this is the NES classic and for about 60 bucks it's probably the best way of playing old-school Nintendo game or is it because what I have in front of me right here is a $500 in yet this is the into mini and when analog offered to send it out I couldn't say no this is too much the exact opposite of what the NES classic is is this is a serious piece of machinery the first thing that jumped out to me is just how solid it there's nothing wrong with the NES classic I really do think this is a nice little design but it's pretty much plastic and if you open one of these things up there's not a whole lot going on inside whereas this is sort of the ultimate mint to know they have gone all out inside the box we have the NES 38 video controller now that I should already done a video on this a few months ago and I really liked it not only is it Wireless so you can use this little adapter to be able to plug it straight into the original NES card slot but besides that it feels almost completely identical to an original NES controller I also have a ton of power bricks and adaptive short different country as well as some extra cables so right here we have HDMI just like the NES classic you can connect this to a modern TV via HDMI go over because these guys are completely crazy we also have VGA components s-video and composite options because reason they really went all out with this so there's support for the Famicom mic attachment as well as the Famicom audio you also have a USB port for charging the controller around the side you can upgrade the firmware via SD card what wait what oh I didn't even realize the bottom is like plus a glass I kind of want to open this up just see what's inside what's interesting about this unlike the NES classic is that while this supports software emulation so it's essentially running like a low powered smartphone chip to be able to do all of emulation this is running on an FPGA which is essentially the original hardware from the NES now they're really proud about the idea it pretty much has no lag when you're playing games now it's not exactly like there's a lot of lag when you're playing on the NES classic but these guys have really gone above and beyond to make the most authentic experience possible the build quality of this thing is stupid good not only is a real aluminum but with that acrylic window and they just look so over the top with this when you think about it Danny s is over 30 years old at this point and these guys engineer essentially the ultimate version for 2017 now one of the other big advantages over the classic is well this come in with 30 games this doesn't come with any but you actually do have the full NES card slot as well as for the Famicom so you ready to play game you scrap an original NES cart and it clicks right in and that's going to chit this is ready to play once you get to NT mini setup it's pretty much an NES but there are a few options so there's a small menu here and we have a few options like running the actual game but a lot of the interesting stuff is in settings so if you go into videos they have an insane number of options so not only can we pick whatever kind of resolution we want we can also go and exactly change the height to position the width I mean they even have all the things for like scanlines rights if you want to 3 for x original like this is way way more than they want to actually need so undoing the sort of basic way of playing right now which is using HDMI it's easy to get set up but if you're really hardcore with this you can use stuff like VGA out to really sort of get that analog input oh look at that look at that kirbymastah right now if you're a hardcore Nintendo fan yeah you'll probably appreciate some of these differences and I do think that the ability to play all of your original NES games and not just those few that actually come on the NES classic is cool but this is for hardcore people this is for people who want to spend $500 on the ultimate end yet it is crazy that this even exists at all so no I'm not going to sit here and tell you that you should spend $500 on a Nintendo however I think anyone can appreciate the crazy level of detail that makes this even exist in 2017 so what do you guys think about the NT mini let me know in the comments below and I will catch you on the next one
