NES/SNES Classic Editions

[AtlantaWhaler]

Not sure if my parents paid $60 for DD II back then.

But, other than HDMI and the cuteness factor, not sure why I want this, when I can emulate NES on like everything at this point, and I have an Everdrive+retro duo or Wii that can already do this.

(it would have to be an awesome emulator with the best progressive scan and zero FPS drops for me to buy this, because seriously NES emus have been done...but it is cute)

Taking things quite literally, eh?

I see this mostly being sold to older folks who aren't quite as into gaming as most (like me who has played maybe 2 games in the last decade). Once it sells a ton over the holidays, they'll release some sort of expansion packs, I'm sure.

 

[Do Make Say Think]

Also a very cool collector's item.

 

[Psyfer]

If they released something like this for SNES I would buy it but NES didnt age very well.

 

[Bones Malone]

Neat, my OG NES works perfectly still though.

 

[JA]

It's too expensive considering the lack of actual physical game copies and how basic the hardware is. The games themselves are also almost thirty years old, and are widely available in other formats.

For $24.99, this would be in a lot of households. For $59.99, not a lot of people will be touching that thing.

Most of the games in this bundle has certainly aged very well.

Why they wouldn't put Contra is nostalgia crushing. Super C is good though.

 

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

Needs some "Blades Of Steel."

Ice Hockey > Blades of Steel.

 

[The Underboss]

I want it!!!

It beats me... probably something about rights. Contra is not on the VC, but Super C is. Surely it would be on the system if they were allowed to have it.

Apart from Contra Gun.Smoke is the biggest omission in this bundle.

Of all the days to launch a retro console, Nintendo chooses Remembrance Day.

Brilliant.

Original NES games were $49.99 new at TRU,Eb games etc. DDII came out in 88 so that $49.99 would be the equivalent of $101.86 today


As for this I'll probably get it for Christmas. Granted my original NES(with a new 72 pin connector) is still hooked up to the tv,as is the Wii(and PS2,3,4 as well) but the original NES games are getting a little to pricey to keep out and use so it will get put away. I've also got hundreds of roms that I've had since the 90's just in case i want to play on the old computer

 

[forsbergavs32]

I'll probably end up buying it just because but I still have my original NES with a new 72 pin connector installed and a working tube TV so I can still play all these games without input lag (im still not so sure that this new system will be free of lag even with HMDI since the games were made to run at 480p)

Depending on the games, I'd be down for a mini-SNES system, but if they ever came out with something similar with N64 games, I might **** a brick.

 

[Paranoid Android]

Ice Hockey > Blades of Steel.

I was trying to think of games they snubbed... not including Ice Hockey nearly kills the deal for me

Contra too... uhg

I'll still buy it though

YUP an N64 where you can play on the HDMI TV's would have me paying almost as much as a new console.

N64 with Ocarina of time and Wrestlemania 2000 would be amazing

Emulator is just so much better. You can get any game from essentially any system. This is a cool idea, but I already have all the retro games I want anyway.

 

[snarktacular]

So I understand the nostalgia factor and the fact that it's iconic, but why use the original controllers? The rounded controllers that came with the NES2 (like the SNES controllers) would probably be better from an ergonomic standpoint.

Although maybe people won't have the attention span for old games to play long enough?

Other then the illegal factor, of course.

I will definitely be purchasing this

But that is illegal.

 

[karnige]

But that is illegal.

unless he has all those games on cartridge

Imagine if the games were changed to somehow play online VS/with people. Good god, that would be amazing!

An emulator is alright on an ouya or something with a decent control,

but on a pc or mobile phone its just stupid. I mean try playing megaman or super mario on a mobile phone. Its horrible. I play tactics advance (a classic) on emulator but thats one of the few that are playable.

This is a decent product for its price and I'd really be interested in seeing what more they come out with if this sells well.

 

[Jasper]

Will absolutely but this. Adventures of Link was one of the best games of all time. Original Final Fantasy and Mario 3 are insane bonuses.
