Day Zero.
I actually own a working Nuon and bought the N64 adapter for the Nuon so I'm down for this since I actually own no games for my Nuon lol. (Only reason I know it works is because I tested someone's copy of The Next Tetris on it at a local retro convention)

Damn, this has to be like, the most niche physical game re-release ever? It kind of feels like a stunt.
As a huge Minter/Tempest fan, even I'd be hesitant to pick this up. Perhaps it would be worth it, just in case, one day, I find a Nuon somewhere, or someone with a Nuon somewhere, and get to try this out.

Poor guy waited years to gather everything for the Nuon video (the player, controller and Tempest) and both of his machines died in the process. Same thing happened with his extremely rare Hi-Vision/MUSE Laserdisc Player.
The guy who did the Jaguar emulator apparently asked if they were looking to develop a Nuon emulator, but the budget wouldn't allow it.
....yet Atari forced Minter to shelve the PSVR version of Tempest before it could be released. =/

Pretty much a way to augment traditional DVD players, there were games made for it as well as some enhanced DVDs that took advantage of the Nuon chip. Also, every Nuon player (I think) had a kickass music visualizer by Jeff Minter.
