Guest iamsherm Report post Posted April 20, 2003 I was flipping channels today and saw this program on TLC about the early days of Nintendo. They talked with the developer of Zelda and Tetris and Mario and such and it reminded me of how awesome that first system was. So I ask, what are the odds of Nintendo making the old NES console again? I already have it, but it's so old and it's always a pain in the ass on even getting the game to start. I think they should re-release it and a few of the classic games. Who's with me? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Renegade Report post Posted April 20, 2003 Or just get an emulator and look for roms. You might like this though http://www.lik-sang.com/info.php?category=...roducts_id=170& Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest razazteca Report post Posted April 20, 2003 Alot of the games have been or will be remade for the GBA and with the new converter add-on for the Game Cube you can play the games on a tv legally. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest iamsherm Report post Posted April 21, 2003 In my opinion, these emulators are just not the same. I need to check out Animal Crossing though. I've heard things. What games can you unlock on that? Zelda, Donkey Kong, and what else? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Brush with Greatness Report post Posted April 21, 2003 Hell, I would prefer the old NES system as oppose to playing it on a PC or next gen system. There is just something about a two button controller when playing Nintendo that seems right. Just make the controllers more in the shape of the NES Max. BTW, though cool, Baseball Stars is no RBI. Seriously, for a pure baseball simulation nothing is as good to play as RBI baseball. Sure it is dated and has its flaws but it is the best baseball engine ever. RBI II, RBI III, Dusty Diamonds, Bad News, Little League World Series, Bases Loaded, Baseball Stars II, etc, nothing could match it. I would love for Nintendo to re-release RBI on a new Nintendo with a full set of rosters from around 87-88. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest razazteca Report post Posted April 21, 2003 Playing the Super Mario Advance games is the best example of remaking a game while keeping the orginal intact. Especially what they did to SMB2 and Yoshi Island. When will my favorite NES game of all time SMB3 going to get the Super Mario Advance treatment? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest EQ Report post Posted April 21, 2003 They actually did Re-Release the NES. They made it a top-loading system so that the games would actually play without you having to fuck with it. If they re-released the top-loader, I'd buy one... they are pretty rare and you're going to pay a pretty penny if you want to buy one now. I've seen them for $100+ on ebay.

Guest Spaceman Spiff Report post Posted April 21, 2003 I need to check out Animal Crossing though. I've heard things. What games can you unlock on that? Zelda, Donkey Kong, and what else? Zelda, Punch-Out!, and Super Mario Bros. are the 3 big "holy grail" games in AC (I have yet to find them). I have Soccer, Pinball, Golf, Excitebike, Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong 3, Donkey Kong Jr., DK Jr. Math, Clu Clu Land, Clu Clu Land D, and Balloon Fight. There might be more, too.

Guest Youth N Asia Report post Posted April 21, 2003 Did anyone ever own the powerglove? It's so bad. I loved how it showed the kis using it in the commercial for Punch Out. But when you tried the same things youself you'd get your ass kicked. Worthless toy...almost cool to have one now though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest CED Ordonez Report post Posted April 21, 2003 Aren't those card readers capable of holding old NES games now? With that kind of capability they could probably make a really cheap system available. I still have my NES and even some old games. It's not even worth it to sell it anymore, so I play it whenever the mood hits. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest C.H.U.D. Report post Posted April 21, 2003 I sold all my old consoles on eBay except for my PS2, because I have them all on emulators. My PC is like the ultimate console. In the console directory of my PC I have Sega Master System, Genesis, NES, SNES, GBA, Nintendo 64 and PSX. Of course, I also have Mame, which has like 3800 arcade games. I like my PS2, but my PC owns it big time for games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LaParkaYourCar 0 Report post Posted April 21, 2003 If they ever rereleased it they should release the top loading version that they made late in the NES's life. The games actually worked on that version since top loading was how it should have been. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How well does it work though? I bought a Tri Star for SNES (let you play NES, Japanese & Euro games) and the reception was shite. Constantly these lil horizontal lines going up and down the screen. That is, if it even decided that it was going to function at all that day in the first place. =\ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest mw679 Report post Posted April 23, 2003 Mine works pretty well. I haven't had any trouble with the games yet. I do get the lines but only on certain games, or maybe it's just more noticable on certain games. I found it on eBay. I searched the net for the title and found a few sites, but ultimately found one on eBay, I believe it was about 50.00 or so. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
