I put money on it they will release a SNES version and probable a N64 version. From what I understand the hardware in classic is capable of running SNES and N64 emulators.

I'm not totally up on the tech but apparently N64 emulation is very difficult? Even to this day?

Nintendo would obviously be able to create somthing but in terms of 3rd party stuff I think there's not much out there

People like to dream. He can put any dollar value he wants on there. Does it sell or not, that's a different story.

Brother-in-law got it as a present. Plugged it in for 15 mins, nostalgia gone.

I pity the fools who paid over retail for this.

i think the problem is most people have SNES,NES, and Genesis games all kind of muddled in their head, so they think they are getting some amazing games of the past with this NES

imo, the NES has a fairly weak library and the vast majority of the games included here do not interest me, or they did until i actually tried to play them again

because mass consumers are generally stupid and impulsive when it comes to nostalgic things

i should know, i buy random nostalgic shit all the time and i probably would have bought that, and then regretted it, had it been in stock.


Sell a VHS emulator in limited edition with VHS video quality and rewind/fast forward simulator along with movie bundles from the 80s/90s and I bet it'd be just as popular. For an extra $50 get the deluxe edition that takes mini cassettes and purposely jams the ribbon at random points so that you can take it apart and untangle it just like the good ol' days.

Why not just get a raspberry pi and install a emulator on it?

Your average person can't be bothered to emulate games. That has always been my argument for this product.

Even for me I do not care to play SNES games on anything less than a DS, playing over a PC with USB controller etc is not even a consideration.

After looking for over a month online and in stores, I was finally able to get one online on Dec 20th. I could have bought a raspberry Pi 3 and emulate the games but the NES Classic just looks so cool. I also consider it a home decor item for my tv stand

When you run emulation on your android, pi, PC, etc. you're running emulation software that has a bunch of hacks to get games to run smoothly.

I haven't looked into the coding of the classic yet but in the past (ex: Virtual Console) Nintendo ran these old games without hacks and that's why they play very well.

For fun, try using a few different engines on your android device. They play all slightly differently. Some drop frames to get it to run smooth, some do it very realistically but you end up lagging framerates a bit, some are just buggy.

And it's been hacked. Allows you to have up to 96 games on the system. Looks super easy to use. I would try it but I don't have one yet.
