        It all starts off with a google search…

        Try here.

        If you have a xbox one, enable dev mode and go to nesbox.itch.io

        Will load any NES rom on your clouddrive

    • PainToad on 19/09/2016 - 19:53

      Raspberry Pi 3 would be a massive overkill. The average household toaster is now powerful enough to emulate NES games.

      • muncan on 19/09/2016 - 20:28

        You'd need a pretty fast toaster for accurate emulation

        • PainToad on 19/09/2016 - 21:00

          I know all about accurate SNES emulation. But, this is NES.

          @PainToad: Fair enough. Which toaster would you recommend?

    • Unrvl on 19/09/2016 - 20:41

      to be honest, $10 for 2 usb snes controllers, about $30 for a raspberry pi and like a day of googling and you can have like 10 consoles and thousands of games.

    Wait for replenished stock and lower price point eg boxing day. It's not like the games are new.

    god lol pre order some 30 year old games

  • BeauKilla on 19/09/2016 - 19:48

    Is there any way to buy just the controllers? I want to use them with FCE Ultra GX on my Wii.

    • kwijybo on 19/09/2016 - 19:57

      The initial articles of the announcement said extra controllers will be $20 each

    • Smigit on 19/09/2016 - 20:17

      EB Games has/had them. Ordered a second to go with the console. As above, they were $20 each.

    Meh.

  • Sidog on 19/09/2016 - 19:58

    Holding out for Super Nintendo Mini Classic…

    • Smigit on 19/09/2016 - 20:18

      I'm sure we'll see one but I wonder when. Can't imagine they'll do it next year, the focus will surely be on the NX.

  • [Deactivated] on 19/09/2016 - 20:05

    nah no deal, no warranty

      Post it as a deal :)

    • muncan on 19/09/2016 - 21:03

      Wow that beats my plan of picking one up from Best Buy in mid Nov for ~$83.27

    lol what Nintendo. Stuck with those preinstalled games and no way to get more. Yeah no.

    • Pandaroo on 19/09/2016 - 20:32

      Yeah Duh. This was they can release 10 different variations each with a few different games.

  • shiny1 on 19/09/2016 - 20:26

    I'm buying 2 for collecting purposes, but if they're sold locally here for $100, I wouldn't preorder it.

  • yaziyo on 19/09/2016 - 20:30

    Man instead of spending $100 grab some cheap controllers off Aliexpress and chuck an emulator on your computer. And then you're not limited to NES either.

    The only reason I wouldn't neg this is that the games are licensed and legit. It is possible to emulate legally, but it involves jumping through hoops and in some cases involves buying the original media. So if you care about piracy, something like this is a good option.

    • greatlamp on 19/09/2016 - 22:12

      Better yet, get a usb adapter and use the wii controllers

    • Tal_Shiar on 20/09/2016 - 01:51

      You're missing the point of while this has been posted as a deal completely

  • Venison93 on 19/09/2016 - 20:36

    These will be a hot item over the Christmas period, but the prices will drop drastically once people get bored of the old games and don't want another box taking up space on the TV cabinet.

  • Pandaroo on 19/09/2016 - 20:38

    When it comes to video games some people care about having the legit thing purely as a collectable.
    I have CFW on my PSP to be able to play any nes and snes game and it works perfectly, but I still buy the odd cartridge here and there when they come up cheap as I like having the real thing too, even if I barely use it.

    That said I won't be paying $100 for this, I would however if you got to pick 30 games of your choice!

  • Aceboy884 on 19/09/2016 - 21:19

    Anyone who buys one of these

    Please try it on a free emulator

    And if you can stay stimulated for 15 minutes, go ahead

    Otherwise it will collect dust

    • Tal_Shiar on 20/09/2016 - 01:52

      You don't know Nintendo fans clearly

  • clubberlang on 19/09/2016 - 22:12

    I would be interested at $50 but not $100. I got one of those Blaze Sega Mega Drive's from K-mart for about $30 3-4 years ago with some built in games like Sonic, Alex Kidd and Golden Axe but I wouldn't have played the thing 20 times and now gathers dust sitting in a box somewhere. The NES and Super Mario Bros was my first true love but I know it's not going to be worth it for $100.

  • EVA-01 on 19/09/2016 - 22:52

    I would be all over it if it was in the Jap. Ver. red and beige.

  • ronnknee on 20/09/2016 - 09:28

    It looks like it's out of stock.
