The Bobby Blackwolf Show

534 - 07/17/16 Bobby Blackwolf Show - Pokemon Go, NES Classic

  • Since our last broadcast, the Summer Games Done Quick marathon ended (including my donation) and EVO has started up and was broadcast on ESPN2 later that evening.
  • I try to start a rumor that the Nintendo NX was really just a mini NES all along, but nobody bought it. The NES Classic Edition will be out in November with 30 games.
  • Pokemon Go is out and has been a bigger cultural sensation than anybody realizes - and even though the mainstream media has been negative, it has been an overall net positive for civilization.
  • Then we take calls about the Gear VR, FandomFest (where I'll be in two weeks!), and Pokemon Go.

Even though I already own an original NES and about half of the games that are on this new unit, I still really want one! It's more convenient than emulators and more cost effective than virtual console (two bucks a game instead of five)

I'd assume some of the design choices are all about convenience, they didn't want to hassle with adding a cartridge slot or a virtual console shop because they just wanted people to plug it in turn it on and be playing games asap not have to worry about extra stuff.

(also it dawned on me I forgot to add it's also more cost effective than tracking all those carts down on ebay, too!)
