Got one on order from Shopto
It's a shame that the flap doesn't work and you can't insert any NES cartridges you may still own. The Sega MegaDrive one comes with a port so if the 80 games aren't enough you can still play others. (Nintendo only giving us 30... data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7 ) Which may come in handy as they don't include Sonic 3 as one of the games, but have left in Sonic 1 and 2. Hopefully if they do a SNES version next year they have a slot for external games. Same with any N64 one they do.
Blown away by what this chap has done.
Someone Has Made a Mini NES That Plays Tiny Cartridges
My wife isn't overly impressed with me owning a PS4 (tbh, she doesn't quite "get" Doom data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7), but she took one look at the games on offer on the NES Classic Mini and said "hey, I can play those games, that's more like it".
So I'm definitely getting one of these data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7 (for both of us to play, of course data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7). The list of games is impressive with at least 16 must haves on it, so that equates to about £3 per game. I'm hoping they make enough as I wasn't going to pre-order.
Gamecollection appear to have taken payment for this today which is fine but is this normal for them to take before time for pre orders?
:edit: Apparently yes it is normal paying via paypal
The Sega ones aren't base by Sega and apparently aren't as good. Plus a load of the games on them are complete rubbish that aren't actually mega drive games.
I presume you haven't told her how brutal some NES games were, only 2 dimensions and 2 buttons didn't stop them making the titles insanely difficult, if anything I find those games harder than new ones, I don't know how I has the patience to finish any of then
Well we both remember how old games played and she's not scared of a little difficulty. Even though she grew up in Scotland and me in Blighty, we both grew up with the C64 and some of those games were insanely hard. I can't believe I completed ones like Auf Wiedersehen Monty, Bruce Lee, Yie Ar Kung Fu, Thrust - limited lives and few saves if any - I'm sure I'd fail miserably if I tried them today.....
.....but at least we'd have fun doing it which is why we want this console.
Even though I play modern consoles as well , she's more into old school gaming so I think it'll be a good buy
(Actually I can't wait to play ghosts'n'goblins again)
Am starting to remember how brutal some games were. Ghosts n Goblins was my nemesis. Used to take ages to load on the Spectrum and then I could manage about 15 seconds in the game ....
Any game that make you play it twice is just evil, and yes that includes Mario galaxy with Luigi
