Nintendo relaunching the NES!?!

@meleu

I wonder what happened to pre-orders in the US (which is where I reside)?
Maybe a production error is halting Nintendo from doing anything except making trailers over here...

@RetroPieNerd I'm on the fence about this. I want one but it might be a Wii situation. Everyone wants one but no one has them. What if it is just a raspberry pi inside?

[PokeEngineer]

@lilbud

It could be something similar to the RPI or the hardware of the original 3DS, since they both use ARM processors...

@RetroPieNerd I tried to make a theme based off the ui of the Mini NES. It did not go well.

@lilbud

Oh well, maybe someday the little thing will be available...

There are ton of young teenagers who play NES. My 14 yr old plays it... Looks like NES and SNES are still the dominant force! :)

@kevinmac It is how I pass the time in study hall. Ninja Gaiden and TMNT 4 to be specific.

@lilbud Good choice mate.

@lilbud

I might take a crack at making a NES Classic Edition UI theme as well in the near future, maybe by modifying the Pixel theme in the EmulationStation mod that @jacobfk20 has done...

Happy Nov. 11!

Nes Classic is sold out online and all my nearby stores. Best Buy is stripped of the NES Classic. I really want this thing. Long live retro gaming.

The nes classics are on ebay with bids over $300. I should have camped out....

I was able to get one at midnight, and was tempted to put it on ebay, but instead, I have been playing it.

they did make the manuals available, man Final Fanatasy 1 manual is huge!

the system seems to work well, and I enjoyed playing with the CRT filter, it really felt like the old days then
