Kid Icarus was the best. I loved that game. But where's Contra and Little League Baseball? And on a side note, The Legend of Zelda is possible the most overrated game of all time.
But that does look cool. I might have to get one. The best part is that with the games built in, you won't have to play those games of blowing on the cartridge, slowly pressing the game into place, slamming the game into place, etc..

Agreed.
But that's going to take all of the fun out of it. Don't you remember how excited you would get as a kid after finally getting the game to start after 15 tries?
The nerdgasm is on full force right now. I am 100% getting this.
GFY. You're dead to me.

Between this and crystal Pepsi coming back, would you say this is the best year of your life?
It's up there. Bought a house (I guess that's a good thing lol), Crystal Pepsi, NES...not sure how it could get better at this point.
No, and Amazon completely pissed me off. I set it up to where it was supposed to notify me when they became available, and I never got crap from them.
Donkey Kong was IT for me back in the day; plus Galaga... gotta get me one of these!
Supposedly they are going to be sending out a lot more inventory soon. Apparently Nintendo released a very low number of units initially to build up hype.
I was wondering why the initial inventory was so low. It's the simplest system ever, and they can easily make as many as they want.
Definitely getting this. Mario Bros 3 is the GOAT, hands down.
It's a no go. It says it's unavailable, and it's the same on every other site.
BTW, I don't like the amount of competition I'm gaining in this thread for this thing. You all need to back off.
My original NES is still going strong, so I can wait until you get yours before I shop for one. You're welcome.
Here you go. Be ready at 5:00.

I'm just hoping I don't fall victim to the Dukes Of Hazzard Syndrome again. Are y'all familiar with this term? What it means is when you loved something as a kid and then you partake of it as an adult and realize it sucked all along. I might just let it ride and prefer to keep my great memories of playing that stupid game system for 10 hours straight on sick days.
For Christmas, my sister got me one of those Atari 2600s that they remade several years ago with all the games built in. And it sucked.

I have a simple answer for this. Nothing about 80s Nintendo sucks. Problem solved.
Anything with Mario is a lock to be great. No matter what platform you play it on it's never bad and will never be bad. The only issue you may have is the graphics. It's possible that a game from the 80's might not look as good as a PS4 game.
Could have something to do with the fact that you used to (apparently) be cool/rebellious/hell-raising/etc., and now you're a boring, straight-laced father of 2?
Well yeah because they're wrong and I'm right. Don't overthink it.
Some folks never grow up, but yeah I reckon so. Hell, it's already happening to me. There's things I find I don't do anymore that I used to do when I was younger (generally this is a good thing lol)
Zelda and Metroid were my favorites. I had all the Zelda games up through Ocarina of Time, which is the best game ever made IMO. I always wanted Kid Icarus but never had it. Other games I liked were Ghosts and Goblins, RC Pro Am, Dragon Warrior, RBI, Tecmo Bowl, Baseball Stars, Gradius, Ikari Warriors, Life Force, Mario Brothers 3, etc...
I can't physically hang anymore. One night of heavy partying and I need two to recuperate. Every year I get together with a couple buddies for the ACC tournament. We've been doing this for years. This is how it has evolved.
The first few years, we bought books of tickets and went to most, if not all the games, partied every night (usually 3 nights) at different bars, partook of different illegal drugs, hit on women (or ordered in for entertainment) and just generally were badass, partying rock stars.
Then we started selling tickets to some of the games because we just couldn't muster up the energy to go to them all.
Then we shortened our weekend to two nights - but still partied hard on both.
Then we quit buying books of tickets (because now we have to be fiscally responsible).
Then we quit buying any tickets and just went to the city where the tournament was to partake of the festivities and get loose.
Now, we just go to my buddy's beach house at Oak Island for two nights and watch the games on TV and play this shit little par 3 course right near his house. We still get kind of rowdy on one of those nights but it's Oak Island in March, you know. And we're all in bed on night #2 by 11:00 pm because "we have to get an early start" to traveling back home the next day. Pathetic.
Stay young, my friend.
It ain't all that- I assure you, but there are some nice advantages.
I'm going to bump this thread til I die so that in 10-20 years you young fellers will see just how right we are about this.
