I still break out the NES every once and awhile to relive my childhood memories. Glad to see Nintendo still keeping there games relativity simple compared to the other consoles.

Nintendo is definitely smart for catering to families rather than just the hardcore gamers. The Wii makes for a great party system.

I loved the old NES games simply because they were simple and fun. Now most games these days seem so complicated (not to mention how many more buttons have been added to controllers!) that I just avoid them all together.

I don’t own an NES or SNES, but I’ve played tons and tons of NES and SNES games that were ported or remade for the GBA or DS, in classic gaming rooms at anime conventions, on the Virtual Console on the Wii, or at my friends’ houses, or via ROMS.
I really love those games….old skool Mario, Zelda, Metroid, old RPGs, so on and so forth.

Personally, most of the classics kick the crap out of new games, it’s just too damn hard to get ahold of them….

Aha, that makes a lot more sense.

Whoa, I had no idea it was supported. So that means you could send any broken NES in and it must be fixed?! That’s a 22 year warranty. I doubt someone with a broken PS2 right now could send it to Sony for repairs.

I think it means that they could get it fixed, but they would have to pay for it. I had no idea that anyone supported a product that long.

I play a lot of those classic games as well, but not on an NES. Unfortunately I don’t have my system anymore, but I have an emulator to use on my Xbox.
