Yeah I gotta say I don't get this move.... Wouldn't a classic NES design be more appropiate? Seeing as how most US gamers never or hardly ever saw what a Famicom controller looked like and all.

My guess is that it WILL be a NES micro, not Famicom.
Possibly thats just how its worded.
Would be strange to release a Famicom, the majority of people would have no idea what it was.
EDIT- Actually read the article, and i was obviously wrong.

It better come in like a glass display case or something, god knows there is no point in playing gba games on the micro when the new SP and the DS dominate it.

Never buy anything right when it comes out *cough360cough*....it's usually a ripoff....unless it's on sale.....and it usually gets better later.
Maybe Electric Troy: Electric Boogaloo is on to something.
My brother tells me not to buy a DS until the new, better one comes out. I just don't know. I traded my Advance for my SP that is side-lit (wtf), and now there's a back-lit one? And you talk about coupon? I wake up, pants unbuttoned? I kill you.....

Dam it I will buy this Micro probably after Christmas however.
[quote name='Kayden']The patent on the NES expired. Now anyone can do anything they want with the tech and not get introuble. The SNES patent has about 8 years on it.[/QUOTE]
No, I don't mean the knockoff consoles. I mean the official stuff from Nintendo. There was the NES GBA SP, this Micro (which we're assuming will be NES for the US), and other stuff here and there yet they never have an SNES inspired product. SNES>NES I mean the SNES even said it in its name. SUPER Nintendo Entertainment System. Which would you rather have, a nintendo or a SUPER nintendo?

[quote name='Stoneage']I still don't get why these and the DS don't play pre-GBA games. That is highly illogical, in my opinion.[/QUOTE]
They'd have to add a second microprocessor (Or a third one in the DS). Probably not enough room in the Micro and they didn't want the expense with the DS.

The micro is all about sexiness. Nothing sexy about a giant grey cart hanging out there.
Also, with the DS, that would've put it pretty directly into the Game Boy line, which Nintendo doesn't want.

[quote name='javeryh']Why is everyone so excited about this? It is ugly as hell. Gold and Red? No thanks...

The NES grey and black is ugly too.
With retro stuff it's all about nostalgia.

I totally misunderstood this thread... I thought they were talking about a small nintendo console....

From Reggie's speech:
"In terms of the micro it will be announced as the "20th anniversary addition" to celebrate the anniversary of the NES launch that was 20 years ago October."

NES Micro!
EDIT: Later in the speech it got a little more cryptic. We'll see I guess.

Ahh so they updated to say they ARE bringing the actual Famicom version.
The way they had it transcribed from what Reggie was saying was they'd have the maroon with the NES faceplate.
Hopefully they make just an NES faceplate. That'd sell to all the retro folks.

On a side note, look at this Pokemon GBA Micro:

That's the Micro I want, but I'm reluctant to pay like $50 extra to import it when it's possible it could be released here.
