the NOS nintindo NES November 11, 2016, 09:44:39 PM i cant help it,i just got a good read on the so called retro nintindo NES they are sold out on.. looks just like the old one but new.here is a direct quote from the current review.. i fell out when i read said the last few words,, "While there’s a lot to love about the console, there are a few areas in need of improvement. The short length of the controller’s cord isn’t optimized for sitting on the couch — perhaps that’s why we always played on the floor years ago." Quote Selected
the NOS nintindo NES Reply #2 – November 12, 2016, 01:45:06 AM This new NES thing is a complete waste. It has 30 games on it, and no possibility of adding games.Pick up a Raspberry Pi, get a micro SD card, a phone charger that charges at 2 amps, a usb controller, and load RetroPie onto the SDcard. Load ROMs onto the Pi. Overclock the Pi. Enjoy.I have probably 200 games on mine and have hardly put a dent in my SD card. I got bored before I got the N64 controller set up.I do still have my NES, SNES, Genesis, Atari, and most console since those. Quote Selected
the NOS nintindo NES Reply #3 – November 12, 2016, 04:46:31 AM There's supposed to be a Sega version coming out too. Like Shawn, I use an emulator and ROM's for the old games (including arcade). I've been planning on building a MAME cabinet for a while. I have the parts, but lack the time.One thing to remember with these classic games: they were designed for 20" CRT monitors at 320x240 resolution and 4:3 aspect ratio. They will look like absolute shiznit on a modern 16:9, 50" 1080P HD TV. And if your HDTV is plasma they will actually damage the screen if you play any large amount of time. Quote Selected
the NOS nintindo NES Reply #4 – November 12, 2016, 09:54:35 AM I bought my first smart phone around late 2007. I loaded it up with old dos and sega games then. Sorta gave up on roms forever ago. Still have them on my memory card. Still using the same one. Think I paid like $80 for all 8 gigs back then. Quote Selected
the NOS nintindo NES Reply #5 – November 12, 2016, 12:42:44 PM I have an old computer that I no longer use hooked up to the our main TV. I have emulators for a few different old systems so I can just fire it up anytime I'm feeling nostalgic. Quote Selected
the NOS nintindo NES Reply #6 – November 13, 2016, 04:43:33 AM Quote from: Thunder Chicken;457833a Sega version coming out tooIt's out, and also, a repop of the Atari. Myself, I want the new Playstation Pro, a smallish (24-32 inch) 4K tv, and for the new Gran Turismo game to drop ASAP.I had an Atari, the first gen Nintendo, a SNES, the first gen Playstation, a PS2, PS3, and currently do my gaming on a PS4. I've still got all of the Sony stuff, though only the PS3 and -4 are hooked up, as is our WiiU. Nintendo is going to release a "big" console, more along the lines of the PS4 and the XB1.Speaking of Micro$uck, I wouldn't have an xbox up me arse if I had room for a space shuttle. They're inferior in every way to their Sony counterparts. Quote Selected
the NOS nintindo NES Reply #7 – November 14, 2016, 04:19:39 AM Nintendo already announced the Switch. It's actually pretty cool. Gimmicky, but cool.Ironically enough, my gaming time has been split between my PC and my N64. Quote Selected
the NOS nintindo NES Reply #8 – November 14, 2016, 08:42:54 AM We sat on the floor because the TV was only 20", lol. Even if you were l337-enough to have any of the line-of-sight IR wireless controllers, they were very lousy at any distance longer than the cord would be. Quote Selected

the NOS nintindo NES Reply #10 – November 18, 2016, 04:32:20 PM Those games did get boring once you got good at them. I ended up playing Wild Gunman at a convention for probably 30 minutes and put the game down because I got bored. Quote Selected

the NOS nintindo NES Reply #13 – September 29, 2018, 09:08:53 PM The one thing I really dislike about Sony is backward-compatibility with the older system games. I want to be able to play GTII and 3 and 5 and 6 on my PS4. By GT, I mean Gran Turismo. No need for graphics overhaul, though I ed sure wouldn't complain..Anybody here on PS4? Quote Selected
