    Doesn't sound like a bad idea, I was thinking one of those could fit perfectly in there.

    The real question is whether they're region locked.

    And why they showed the NES first not the Famicom, because that's really weird.

    There isnt anything to region lock, they dont use real carts. Famicom controller on this thing is tiny though, which ruins it.

    Not only are the controllers tiny they are also hard wired.

    Which also means you can't connect them to a wii remote, making them inadequate therefore the NES version is superior.

    The one time I expected a joke to work out in the end...

    But yes they are rather small...

    Probably like the original it will have about 6 inches worth of cable. Guaranteed to make things awkward in multiplayer.

    It would have made more sense, but when people think Famicom they don't think AV Famicom, they think of the original.

    Nintendo Famidgetcom Mini. When i was a kid even original Famicom controllers felt too small for me but those are strictly for 3 years old kids or what?

    They need to make Gameboy Nano after that, with 0.5 inch screen, running on one CR2016 battery :D

    I imagine the 2017 version of the watch battery will be even more powerful. It can run two gameboy nanos.
