Nintendo throws their hat into the Plug & Play ring with a miniaturized NES that includes 30 built-in games. Thanks to multiple factors like being a well-polished compilation of famous games (first legally available in a DRM-free format), a higher quality emulator than on Virtual Console releases, being an open and moddable system (that can take Wii Classic Controllers), and of course just having the Nintendo name, it was an instant success that redeemed the category almost overnight just to repeat the performance next year. Good luck finding one near its retail price, though.
 | To do: More revisional differences + production test menu that is also present in the SNES Classic Edition + possible debug functions. |

Developer Message
Found in /usr/bin/kachikachi at 0x59988 is this message:
This is the hanafuda captain speaking. Launching emulation in 3..2..1. Many efforts, tears and countless hours have been put into this jewel. So, please keep this place tidied up and don't break everything! Cheers, the hanafuda captain. |
The name "hanafuda captain" is most likely a reference to the hanafuda cards that Nintendo started out as a manufacturer of (and continues to sell in Japan even today). Hanafuda is also referenced in the Wii U's DS Virtual Console development info, so it's likely the internal codename for emulator development.

Main Menu
 | This page or section needs more images. There's a whole lotta words here, but not enough pictures. Please fix this. |
- Appropriately, the design of the main menu differs depending on the region, being based on the design of the Famicom in Japan and the design of the original NES elsewhere.
- The game icons in the Japanese version are rounder than in the international ones.
- The international versions have a language select option. This is absent in the Japanese version.
