Hong Kong








or Ebay

11/28/2005 2:42:51 PM

i got a mint one from Ebay... the connector thing wasn't even fucked up. no blinkies

btw, a top-loading NES will be expensive as hell

Super compact, plays American and Japanese cartriges, and has wireless controllers.

11/28/2005 2:44:05 PM

my bad should have clarified - don't want top loader. just want to play super mario bros, smb 3, contra and the like. ebay prices are like $85+ (looked before).

^thanks! that might work.

Don't they make the "Nintendo classics" for most more modern Nintendo game systems?

11/28/2005 3:15:17 PM

just download an emulator

11/28/2005 3:26:45 PM

I remember buyrite selling used nintendo's. However, last time I checked the Raleigh location is now gone. You could try their website.

11/28/2005 3:40:40 PM

i cant believe no one has mentioned ebay

why does that thing have wireless? i understand the wireless controllers but it says that thing has 802.11

11/28/2005 5:49:22 PM

so you can play multiplayer with all those great multiplayer NES games, duh

11/28/2005 5:49:59 PM

you can get the original nes at plenty of goodwill and thrift stores for like $5

11/28/2005 6:31:53 PM

Be a lot more rewarding if you took the time to hook up an old PC to a TV and played the games off of that. Otherwise, check Flea Markets or Ebay. Systems are dirt cheap on Ebay ... its the games that will jack it up.

11/28/2005 9:00:01 PM

I've got a few I could sell. My boyfriend found one at his parents house, one somewhere else, and then I found another one at my parents house...

11/28/2005 11:14:41 PM

^ pm me if interested...

ive got one ill give you

11/29/2005 1:16:40 AM

thanks for all the suggestions.

don't want an emulator... i guess i just want the "feel" of playing one, not just the old games. i checked flea markets and thrift stores but since the hurricane, they have pretty much been empty.

11/29/2005 8:57:51 AM

Ive got one, but I don't think it works. Is there anywhere locally that fixes them or are they just trash when they break?

11/29/2005 9:36:11 AM

you can tell who didnt have friends growing up, they play nes games on emulator

simple logic tells me that nes is way more fun with other people involved, which is why i would rather have a real nes, these people say emulator, obviously they LIKE nes, so why not like to play it with other people...THE REASON?

they didnt have friends growing up

Best 4-player NES game ever: Super Spike V'Ball

11/29/2005 11:14:20 AM

that x-box "outlaw volleyball" or whatever is pretty good if you liked super spike

11/29/2005 12:08:34 PM

^^^You know that more than one person can play on the emulators don't you? Some will even let you play over LAN/net.

I've heard that you can download every NES game ever created including ones in foreign languages and mods/hacks of original games in one small file. Something like 7000+ games.

11/29/2005 12:21:19 PM

wait till the nintendo revolution comes out

11/29/2005 1:12:24 PM

The Revolution is supposed to be able to play the old school games, but I heard that you'll only be able to play games produced by Nintendo, not games produced by other companies.

I hadn't heard any news in a while on exactly how you'll get your hands on the old games - has anybody heard whether you'll download individual games, buy some kind of custom-made disc with the games you select, etc.?

Queti, you tried EBGames/etc. sites yet? Not sure if they are still selling them since the merger ;(

11/30/2005 12:53:43 PM

ya know i went to their store in a nearby mall several months back and they actually had one and several games. i should have bought it then. since, every time i check with them, they only have a hand full of games. haven't checked the website.

11/30/2005 12:56:31 PM

whatever it is... get it on ebay

11/30/2005 4:17:18 PM

you can mod the original nintendo controller to hook up to your USB port and work with your emulator

11/30/2005 5:50:50 PM
