    I remember my Mom bought me the top loader NES as a surprise when it came out because she thought it was a Super Nintendo.
    I already had an original NES, but despite her mistake, getting the top loader was great because my original NES was pretty much dead at that point - I didn't even care that it wasn't an SNES, I was just glad to be able to play Nintendo games again.

    Got an original NES from the goodwill for $4, bought a power cord, an aftermarket controller and Zelda 1 for it, went home, plugged it in, Zelda started right up. I also bought SMB1 & R.C Pro-AM as well and they both start up flawlessly which in total I payed about $40ish for everything. Now I using TH-cam as a buying guide for what other games I should get for it :D I was happy it started at all lol

      Because people go into it expecting a typical beat-em-up where they just mash the attack button to kill everything, they don't realize there is a strategy to it and things you need to know. The people who complain about the difficulty never seem to know how the mechanics work and that each turtle actually does have different strengths and weaknesses - they just know that Donatello does higher damage so they think everyone else is pointless, then they can't understand why they're getting their ass kicked by enemies he isn't able to hit.

Game is awesome

    I recently started collecting for the NES again…again! The hook always brings you back…nostalgia. It’s so hard to beat nostalgia. I’ve tried loving other consoles but ultimately this was my first console as a child so I’m back again for another go around. I picked up an Analogue NT mini noir this go around because I’m older and can afford the best at this point. I didn’t hear you guys mention Ninja Gaiden, River City Ransom, Kirbys Adventure, or Duck Hunt? Really it’s hard, the NES was home to so many amazing games. Thanks Mr. Metal for another epic video covering the console that’s closest to my old man heart.

So I really would recommend this game for collectors, even if you think it is gonna suck just play it for a while it will be fun.

    @spellchanger1169 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great video, there are many tricks to getting an NES to work, before I fixed mine, I had to literally intentionally force the cartridge down, it would only work if it was as close to the exit as possible. Also requires jamming an N64 game inside, maybe new springs would fix this. I fixed mine by raising the pins, it works fairly well, I still need the N64 game, but I have about a 80-90% chance game starts for most of my games. I also recommend using monitor spray cleaner to clean your games, and once cleaned keep them in tote containers with a lid to prevent dust gathering.

    @TurboCoder3000 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    You hit the nail on the head. The thing I hate hate HATE about modern gaming are 1. Updates after updates after updates, 2. Insufferably long cinematic sequences that you can't skip, 3. You can't just hit start and play the game. I find it difficult just to get into playing my PS4 or XBox One S on a regular basis because of this issue.
    Video games have always been a passion of mine (at one point around 1998 or so I think I had about every modern video game system that was any good except the Turbografx 16 and NEO GEO). NEO GEO was always the one system I wanted but I never could afford. Now, I have the Nintendo Wii U, PS4, and XBox One S.
    So, I stumbled upon this video in my renewed passion for video games and plan on rebuilding my collection from scratch. Man I should have kept my Sega Saturn! Oh, well....

      I've been collecting NES and Sega Saturn games for about 3 years and SNES and N64 games for about a year. In the short time I've been collecting, I've seen NES prices especially increase, Saturn not so much. NES collecting is experiencing a surge in popularity again and it's getting tough to find games for purchase in the wild outside of marked up eBay auctions.
