Gaming Nintendo brings back Classic NES

[Mook]

I'm loving my switch, plan on getting mario kart this month too.

 

[Mook]

The Wii was a huge success, U, not so much. I have high hopes for this. If they just want to pump out the classics, and they are anything like BOTW, I'll snatch them bitches up.

exactly why i'm offloading the switch

price?

Or just buy a raspberry pi and have those plus NES, Sega, Sega CD, Atari and anything before PS1 on one device the same size as the new classic but supports Bluetooth wireless controllers or any USB retro controller.... Oh and for under 60$

Not the same.

Not the same.

You're right...It's better and not a rip off

If you're the kind of person into building your own video game system sure. Not everyone has the desire to do that.

I've enjoyed my classic. Low effort. High fun factor. Will probably try to grab another for collectability's sake and keep it packaged.

Was talking to my brother in law tonight about doing the same thing!

Good luck. Scalping prices doubled the second this was announced and ones that are being trickled to stores will be scooped up super fast.

Ill just copy and and paste my response on Pat the NES punks status about it.

It really sucks. I didn't try hard on release day thinking they would saturate the market for Christmas. Lol. Ohh well.

This does make total sense. Nintendo either wants to focus on manufacturing the switch, have consumers focus only on switch, or they are going to modify the classic. Which makes sense since any joe schmoe can look up a video on YouTube, watch how to add 700 more games, download a file on their PC, and then do it themselves on Nintendo hardware.

Either way it's not stupid for Nintendo, but sucks for people that legitimately want this product for what it is.

Also, the product itself isnt a piece of shit. It emulates very well from my limited time trying it out. People just dont like it since Nintendo actually has to purchase licenses for third party games while trying to make a profit. Meanwhile, others scoop up RPIs and pirate games and think its stupid for companies to try and make money. This makes no sense to me. While I love my RPi, I would still want a NES classic, but sadly I most likely will not get one.

They have been extremely easy to get if you put in any minimal effort. Hell I got 2 of them...And I'm not some gamer fuckboi that goes crazy over these kind of things.

You setup alerts on websites and you get notified when they're in stock. It's that simple!

[Gamble]

If I can't one for under $80 I just won't or I do the raspberry pi.
People paying $200+ are just silly

 

[Mook]

Strong chance Nintendo is going to have a Mini SNES by Christmas.

 

[daturbosix]

whats this raspberry pi thing you guys speak of, and where do i buy one?

Basically a cheap, easy (if you're tech savvy) way to play old video games.

 

[Grabber]

I wonder how many people buying up the nintendo's only to resell them actually have resale certificates.

whats a resale certificate?

 

[Grabber]

whats a resale certificate?

It is a permit/license that allows business to resell items they purchase tax free.

People are buying and paying tax, but, not collecting tax since they are reselling the items, in this case, Nintendo classics.

My post was sarcastic since people, especially on this forum, are buying these up to sell of a profit, well, a huge profit.

Microcenter right now is the best place to buy the Pi itself. Its $30 right now there compared to the 35+ on amazon or anywhere else.

I then buy this kit for the case and power supply.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LWURJMI/?tag=tcg21-20

Get yourself an SD card in any variety you like. Little bit cheaper than a canakit on Amazon and comes with more as well.

Or I can set it all up for a fee.

Negative sir. It was an xmas gift to my wife and I'm sure she will eventually start playing it.....or maybe not.
