I wonder if you have to blow on the games with this system too!??

I'd almost be tempted to get one. I have a bunch of old systems that I keep hooked up, but my NES is skrewed up. You have to stick the game in, pull it out just a hair, then push it down and hope it works. If it doesnt, repeat. It kinda sucks.

Hahahaha blowing on the games... aah the good ol' days.

Mine's worked the same Justin since about 1987.

if anyone still has nes games, chances are they do not work. I still have my collection but it is a hassle to try and get a game working (even with the eraser trick). I would rather run roms of the games I have instead of buying another system.

I'll get one. I know that the Revolution will be able to play Nintendo's old games, but I still like being able to plug the cart into its own system and rock to some old school Micro Machines racing. . .

I think I'll buy one just to mod into a mini-itx based ROM box.

Just get an old NES from the thrift store and replace the connector:

Except for the connector, old NESs tend to work forever.

I've also noticed a good cleaning for the NES controller can improve game play. I had one controller that was not working. I took it apart and cleaned the black pads that touch the circuit board with a little alcohol and a Q-Tip. It works perfectly now.

My bet is a disc/set/hard drive, that would be filled with their old games. That... would make me want to buy one over any other console. I keep my SNES around just for street fighter and NBA Jam.

OK, so a NES themed Revolution would be pretty sweet.

I just got my Generation NEX today. First off, the included controller is terrible. The buttons are slanted, the thing is tiny, and it's an awkward button layout to begin with. The sound on all the games (incl. SMB3) is off and not accurate (compared to being played on an original NES). Huge bummer. Also, games like River City Ransom do weird stuff when you play them, including garbleing up the menus, changing colors, and generally not working properly. Did they even test this thing? How hard could it be to make a 100% compatible NES clone in 2005? I would warn everyone to stay away from this. For $60 You could get an original NES with a new 72-pin connector in it, some REAL NES controllers, and some decent games. Avoid and get the real thing.
