Actually the NES ports are really good for what they are and they are formatted for a horizontal monitor, but yeah, it's come to my attention that some of the early runs of the Walmart exclusive version has the old Nintendo ports on it....for ….. reasons?
The more I learn about the 1up stuff the more I dislike it, but I still think it's a step in the right direction. If you look at those god awful midway ones from a few years back, it's a major improvement in look and quality. Hopefully future revisions will be even better... like with regulation width and a 19" monitor.
