You are able to buy old school Megadrives with pre-installed games like Sonic, etc. A person at work was eyeing one up.

Its funny I've seen the Sega Genesis system with 80 games built in plus Mortal Kombat 1-3 for $10 stacked 10 high no one buying it but this is selling like crazy..I don't get it

This is a sad day but I agree with Droford. No reason the classic nintendo should be as popular as it is. Hell, if they made it so games could be imported later via Internet or USB port I would sign up but that didn't happen.

These are fucking garbage. Bought one for my son when he was into Sonic 2-3 years ago. The sound is all distorted and the majority of the games are indy bullshit titles. That is why no one is buying them.

NES officially backed theirs and made it, so everything is "original". Still though, emulator with controller support is the way to go. IF they enable this device to go online and add to the library, then it would be worth it.

Droford 12-26-2016 11:12 AM

That might explain why they were at the closeout store for $10

Because assholes go to stores and buy every last one, which then they all get sold on eBay and other places online for obscene profits. It's disgusting.

Exactly. Plus you can spend like 4 dollars per nes game on the Wii/Wii U.

drave 12-26-2016 06:45 PM

Now, they NEED to do this with the SNES....

Chrono Trigger
Super Mario World (any of them tbh)
Super Mario RPG
Secret of Evermore
Super Metroid
Super Castlevania IV
F-Zero
Super Punch Out!
Zelda: A Link to The Past
Earthbound
Contra III The Alien Wars
Mortal Kombat II
Megaman X or X2
Lufia II: Rise of the Sinstrals


Sure there are quite few more, those are some of the timeless classics I could still play today.

Drave....your list of snes games....so horny rn. You said Lufia 2. You even knew the subtitle. Me love u loooooong time.

Now add Seiken densestu 3, terranigma, and treasure hunter g with English translations.

Ruien 12-26-2016 10:51 PM

Secrete of Mana and Final Fantasy get no love?

Sepholio 12-26-2016 11:32 PM

Seiken densestu 3 is secret of mana 2 that never got released outside of Asian markets. It's an incredible game.

Didn't mention ff as I already own every one of them and they keep getting rereleased on newer systems anyways.

A.) I never said I wanted one of those things, just letting people know about how shit is going down. As Rich says in his video, Nintendo are purposely contributing to the problem by giving 2-3 units to stores and as a result, the stores sell out of them in record time.

B.)I use an Android tablet w/version 6.0.1. I had to replace my old one, so my father made it my Christmas gift this year...under $40, too (before tax). Also got usual $25 gift card from my bro for GS, which works well for me, and got PS3 copy of WWE 2K17 just yesterday, and spent < $20 after the gift card, so all in all it was a great Christmas. I'm a man of simple pleasures.

Also, it seems you forgot the GameCube was a thing. I had some good times with mine playing WM XIX and the Day of Reckoning games. Also had NBA Courtside 2002, Crazy Taxi, and Super Smash Bros. Melee that I can recall. I loved the portability of the machines size and the mini-discs.

Nintendo pretty much did that by not making enough to start with.

Probably on purpose so that everyone would talk about Nintendo.

Fignuts 12-27-2016 07:49 PM

Think you kind of missed the point there, Drofolopogus.

Droford 12-28-2016 11:28 AM

If Nintendo supplied enough it wouldn't be a priblem. no one would want to buy more than 1 because there woukd be no resale market which only existed because Nintendo didn't make enough .

Big Vic 12-28-2016 11:51 AM

Friend got the Sega one, its cool and not all of the arcade games are bad. Sonic music is a bit off and the level select cheat did not seem to work.

Bad thing about it is the Arcade doesn't save scores and the controller doesn't work unless you are pointing right at it.

Outside of some really sure hits mostly in regards to games, Nintendo has been really stingy with production ever since the Gamecube era. Got burned big time because Microsoft ate a lot more of their marketshare than Sony's at the time.

Think it was only very recently they finally got around to adding another manufacturer company in order to boost their production. Even then it might be till the Switch's launch that the real increase capabilities ends up showing for them.

The hype for this thing was through the roof. There was never going to benearly enough, no matter how many Nintendo made. Stores need to pay better attention to demand for upcoming products. Years ago they used to be better at this, but now they don't even care. Just want to sell as much as possible as quickly as possible.

LOL, both sides pay plenty of attention to demand. Problem is they don't give a fuck because Nintendo purposely under-produces units and under-sells the number of units to each store, and Nintendo and all the stores rake in huge $$$$$$$$$ while outrage begins once their collusion gets exposed and they all turn a blind eye so they can continue their profiteering ways.

Their last two systems, Wii U and 3DS, were overstocked. That costs them money so they went cautious on these. Once demand was high, you can't just flick a switch and produce more, you have to book time in to the assembly lines in China.

WiiU was not overstocked at the start though. They lost alot of steam not having enough to match demand. I remember seeing a set up for it for months without any stock around it at my local Target.

#BROKEN Hasney 01-08-2017 06:23 PM

There was never any reported Wii U shortages. Must have been a store that sold out and didn't restock for a while. We were mocking scalpers showing pics of cars full of them and then selling for under RRP.

Weirdly, the DS wasn't hard to find at launch either. It wasn't until the Lite model that thing went into overdrive.

If you are going to hack it. You might as well just buy a damn USB controller and play it on your computer screen. Roughly the same deal without the possible breaking the system and making it a fairly expensive paperweight.

You add the games yourself via ROMs. It's not unlocked from inside the system.

Also, looks like the restriction has been lifted and you can add as many games as the storage holds. You just have to be wary about saves as they also take up space.

Mercenary 01-09-2017 07:27 AM

Yep by roms it's great I tell you. Nintendo really lost out by only doing 30.

Can't play duck hunt cause LCD screens don't work with the zapper.

Is it compatible with the power pad ?

Might've had something to do with the fact that The Noid was a lovable loser type character, marketed by Domino's Pizza who never successfully ruined one of their pizzas' freshness. Or something. :-\

That is very impressive tbh. Any video I have watched about the classic, commentators have said it is "impossible" to beat Tyson because of the lag. If you have done it, that is some achievement! Well done!

I would have bought about three of these at Christmas for myself and family, at least...As it stands, I probably won't be buying any now. I can't imagine I am the only one like that. Hope Nintendo are chuffed with their numbers because it's probably half of what they would have done otherwise...And the majority of that half aren't coming back for one now the holidays are over.

I think kids today are conditioned to different types of games. Punch out of very much a puzzle game, and I think the instinct when kids pick it up today is to reign down punches and treat it like a boxing game. It certainly doesn't look like a puzzle game.

I am more amazed at how I beat certain games with no internet lol. I get stuck on the slightest thing now and am straight there to see what to do!

Think our generation had more imagination!

NES officially backed theirs and made it, so everything is "original". Still though, emulator with controller support is the way to go. IF they enable this device to go online and add to the library, then it would be worth it.

The sound isn't great. But at least with the portable Genesis you can just load all the roms up on a SD card and plug that into the system. And you got a portable genesis with a couple hundred games.

The AtGames home console Genesis has some issues. First off the wireless controllers are ass. They are IR instead of another type of wireless so you have to keep them pointed at the system to get it to respond. Half of the games that come built in aren't even old Genesis games. They are bad rip offs of what feels like late 90s java games.

Where as the AtGames Portable Genesis,once you load an SD card with the Roms,makes a nice and cheap portable system. Got mine for 20 bucks a few years ago. Already had the SD card. And so far whatever emulator AtGames uses plays about 80% of the games I have tried out. One major drawback is if the game has a battery backed up saving feature that will not work. So no Phantasy Star and really no RPGS. But for the cheap price it ain't bad.

I keep mine in my backpack for when I have some downtime. Supposedly this year AtGames has a new version of the home console and the portable Genesis coming out. Using a new emulator which will improve not only the sound but the issues the old one had with some games.

The sound not being accurate doesn't bother me that much. Even when I had a Genesis years ago I rarely played it with the sound on. I would instead put on some music and listen to that while playing.

Acclaim tried it's hand at a wireless IR controller for the NES. Legend has it that due to the technological limitations of the time however it was largely ineffective.

It wouldn't be until the GameCube's WaveBird wireless controller that the potential for wireless controllers started to be realized. I had one back in the day and it was amazing.

I like the shell, so I kind of want one to gut and put a Rasberry Pi in there.

I got lucky and managed to get 3 of the NES minis right before X-mas. Both my sons wanted one and my lady wanted one. Thought I was just gonna have to wait till January to get them. Then was reminded that the neighbor's daughter is the district manager for Gamestop in this area. Called her and got the 3 I needed for retail price. Gave her a $20 a s a thank you.

Playing around with the one I gave to my lady I do like it. But what suck is there is a bit of input lag.Most of the games it isn't even noticeable. But on Punch Out it is horrible. I use to be able to pretty much blow thru that game. And still can on a legit NES. But on the Mini the timing is slightly different.

It is a neat plaything. But I am not going to bother getting one for myself. Sure I can hack it and get it to play lots of games. But I already own pretty much every system I want. What I really want now is a Retro AVS. Sure it is a bit over 100 bucks. But being able to play NES and Famicom carts on a system that isn't just a cheap NoC clone systme is great. Then add in that it had the four score/NES Satellite built in and had HDMI outputs without adding input lag to me it is worth the price.

So, late to this party, but I had some people I used to work with keeping feelers out for me since December. Got the call a couple of days ago and was able to pick one up. Feel like I had to be more clandestine than some sort of illegal drug transaction, though.
