can't wait for the NES Classic Edition Classic Edition
@@srridk It'd be the size of a 50¢ machine capsule toy with full size controller. 3 games.
@@bcj842 and the games would be Mario 1, 2, 3, and bonus game of Urban Champion
That's essentially NSO now.
Contains 3 games! Including Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros. 3 and The Legend of Zelda!
Doncha mean the NES Classic *Deluxe* edition/NES Classic NANO?
I think the novelty of Ice Climber is that it's a multiplayer game on NES where you play cooperatively at the same time and NES games like that were fairly hard to come by.
the BEST were the Nintendo VS consoles that had like 10 games built in.
balloon fight's cooperative / versus multiplayer is great too

John 3:16-21
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

ngl i've always wanted to have a friend like Scott to talk about random stuff like this.
it's not really random stuff. it's always just Nintendo stuff.
Get a life nerd
Same
@@TMV420 Scott's Stash is a bit more varied on that front. I love the PSP and PS Vita videos.
That’s me lol
No joke, my grandma somehow managed to get this for my birthday back when it first came out and it was notoriously hard to find.
The power of grandmothers
hopefully yours wasn't also a Chinese knockoff spread around when they were hard to get😔
Time for an old man story lol. Back in 1985, THE GI Joe figure to have was Snake Eyes v. 2 (the classic ninja look with the gray visor and Timber) I had looked and looked but they were always sold out. One day I'm at Kmart with my grandma and after looking through the figures they had, I bought Shipwreck and Storm Shadow (they actually had a Storm Shadow, hard to believe I know if you lived through that era) and she asked if I wanted another one because I think they were on sale for like 3 for 2, bogo basically. I told her who I was looking for and how nobody had him because people were buying all the ones they found, so being a grandma and with the grandmotherly powers of not giving a flip, she walked into their stockroom, found a case of GI Joe figures, opened it up and found four Snake Eyes. She put them all in the cart and said "one is for you to keep and use the other ones to trade people at school". I can't remember who I traded with but I got a Skystriker, G1 Soundwave with five of his cassettes for two of them and gave the fourth one to my cousin for Christmas. Never doubt the powers of a grandma lol
@RowdyRodimus I too love American propaganda 😍 #wholesome
I mean, I know it's small and all, but is it THAT small!?
40 minutes long video about a thing I still regret not buying?? Thanks for the birthday gift, Scott!
happy birthday man 🫶
happy birthday broski !
Happy birthday fellow Scott enjoyer
The Famicom version is a lot cheaper and more easier to get. I got mine on Amazon for around 60 dollars
Sad birthday 😈
Man oh man I this was the hypest thing when it first came out. Didn’t partake in it though since I was never much of an NES kid.
Now SNES classic edition on the other hand…
I've almost sold my SNES Classic twice! I think it would be something I would regret for the rest of my life. Glad I still have it.
I remember me and my brother being in Walmart's game section when a couple employees discreetly walked right in front of us where one restocked NES Classic Edition while the other employee was on look out. They clearly knew how rabid some people were for those. I think they only put 8 of them behind the glass and the moment they were done, my brother and I looked at each other, and knew what we had to do. We pitched in money together and nabbed one.
Very cool game system to have as someone who never really bothered to collect for NES so it was enough dosage of NES for someone like me.
I love core memories like this
Regarding Simon's Quest: 8:46 "I don't think anyone can actively say 'aw man, that game is bad.'"
AVGN would like a word with you
Ice Climber is the greatest game of all time and I can’t wait till those lil guys make their 3D debut as a launch title for the Switch 2
I’m more interested in a chibi-robo revival
Incorrect it's dig dug 2
This could actually be cool
Eternal Darkness II
2 Eternal 2 Dark
Unironically, I wouldn't mind if they tried Ice Climbers again. Or what if they just took all their dormant NES/SNES IPs and made a new game utilizing all of the characters.
I'm not talking about something like NES Remix or World Championships. I mean a modern game with a unique story and gameplay that takes advantage of each IP. Something like Captain Rainbow.
Scott doing a mini rant about how he likes legal pads was kinda cute
Not gonna lie, I kinda want some legal pads now
wait till he finds out about sticky notes
He likes legal emulation and legal pads. This guy's not going to jail.
Illegal pads aren't as absorbent
Just like Kim Wexler in Better Call Saul? I think im gonna be sick🤢
I remember being 11 years old just getting into emulation and so I was getting into the NES library and being really excited for this thing, especially since it used a replica of an original NES controller so it was the closest I would get to a faithful NES experience at that age. It was probably the only thing I played for like a month.
Same, i remember in middle school a guy had a flashdrive with nes emultor and games and downloaded it onto my netbook at school 😭 which i then transferred those files into my flashdrive. good times
This WAS the only thing I played for a month in 2018. My family had just moved into my grandparents house while waiting for our new house to get new carpeting. My Dad got one of these shortly after we moved in, and since our Wii was packed up this was our single source of video game entertainment for six weeks. Held up the entire time.
I know, I love the simplicity of NES games, they're so great to just start up and play, while at the same time not being SO simple that it's confusing like the Atari and Magnavox stuff before it. I still go back to Kirby's Adventure, Mario 1, and even MOTHER because they're just so chill and easy to simply have fun in [even though MOTHER isn't traditionally "fun"]
So you're only 18 or 19 years old now eh? Man I'm old
Image Scott rambling about his carpet, rather than something on his carpet.
I don't have a modern Tv, but a huge old CRT, so I use an HDMI to CRT adapter to play with my Classic SNES. It's PERFECT.
Let's not forget about the Nintendo Classic Mini: Family Computer where due to the Famicom having hardwired controllers the mini replicates it resulting in miniature controllers
also Japan got one heck of a line-up with Final Fantasy 3 and Downtown Nekketsu Monogatari (aka River City Ransom) to name a few.
22:45 "There was a book!" and then proceeding to show he owns the book like it's nothing is the most Scott thing ever
I still have the NES and SNES Classics.
Modded the fuck outta them.
Interesting thing about the NES Classic edition. If you use a Wii Classic controller, the Home button on that controller brings you back to the menu, like hitting reset on the system.
Not bad
Isn’t the wire for that even shorter? Classic Nintendo move in that case 😂
I remember just how difficult it was to find one of these. After a couple months of trying to get one at any store to no avail, I just gave up. Didn't want to deal with scalpers.
That is until a year later when I'm in Argentina visiting family. I'm in an appliance store with my mom, and I see the NES classic on the very bottom of a glass case, official Nintendo seal and everything. Asked to buy it immediately. I was so happy.
I think the SNES classic was announced shortly after I got home, but I didn't want to bother with the chase at that point.
How much did you pay for it?
@maxalmonte14 I think it equaled about $70 usd, but I don't remember exactly
@@grillm4ster damn that's not bad, especially for a real one in Argentina
I got lucky getting my SNES Classic. I just happened to be in a Best Buy when they had like just received a new shipment. They didn't even have time to put price tags on them. I asked an employee if they were for sale, and he said they were. I grabbed one before the mob had a chance to buy them all up. Funny thing is that the SNES Classic is pretty cheap on the secondary market compared to the NES Classic. But I do not regret my purchase.
Now bring us the N64 mini, Nintendo!
Second this!
at my sixteenth birthday party i had a tv set up outside with this thing hooked up as like a fun little party gimmick and these two guys sat there playing it the entire time
Ice Climber is a classic. I literally grew up in the 80s and absolutely stand it right up next to Bubble Bobble
ehhhhhhh
I hate Ice Climbers. Wrecking Crew or Mach Rider are more enjoyable. Ice Climbers is a chore to play.
Can yall believe It’s been 8 years since the NES classic came out😂
I could swear it came out in 2015, but I guess I just misremembered.
Damn.... it doesn't seem like 8 years, holy crap...
@@EsThirt33nSame here.
Seems hard to at first but then I remember I was a kid when we got ours. Am 18 now
Nes classic classic
When are we getting the Scott the Woz Classic Edition, with 30 classic Scott the Woz videos poorly emulated on an ipod 4
There needs to be more mini consoles.
The problem seems rather that there are hundreds, if not thousands, of types available for sale, and most of them are terrible quality.
im glad to hear scott’s worst year of his life was 12 years before he was born
I remember my orthodontist's office had an NES Classic, of all places. It was in a little room where you could just play while you wait (there used to be an iPad with mobile games on it for the same purpose).
It was really fun going there for my brace check-up and just flicking on whatever NES game I felt like playing at the time. I remember getting pretty far in Mega Man 2, probably like halfway or more through all the Robot Masters before I had to actually go to my check-up.
Sadly, it was taken away when the pandemic hit, and when it re-opened the room was blocked with chairs and the NES wasn't there anymore.
I was working at Micro Center at the time of its release and my store got 5 of them, but employees were not allowed to buy them. By some miracle my girlfriend came to the store to buy something with her boss, and I had her buy it for me. I always got the playing with power books
My 2nd controller port rusted (bought it 2nd hand). It is extremely difficult to find parts. That's the only thing that kinda blows. And yeah, I modded it. Absolutely worth it for that.
>Sega went through the effort to get Tetris on the Genesis Mini
*Sega does what Nintendon’t*
Notable Missing Games: Ducktales, Tetris, Dragon Warrior III, Bionic Commando, Crystalis, Guardian Legend, Blaster Master, Battletoads
Castlevania 3 also deserved to be included.
@@Gridseeker Was very confused that they included Simon's Quest instead of Dracula's Curse.
@@FourBudgies87 Who knows, perhaps a fees related issue: or Nintendo considered an extra spending was unworthy, or Konami demanding fees were too high, only god knows. Still, if the Castlevania trilogy was included, the mini NES classic would sold way more faster, more so if the six games of Megaman were also included (nothing against Megaman 2, but my favorites are 3 and 4).
Faxanadu is another that would have been nice to have.
There's a Tetris company now? Man, the Soviets really did lose the Cold War.
There has been since the Soviet fall
Gorbachev appeared in a Pizza Hut commercial
The Tetris was originally sold and marketed by the Soviet monopoly on import export of electronic goods Elektronorgtechnica. Following the end of the Soviet Union it continued to be a public organisation until 1996. When it privatised the rights went back to the original designer who set up the Tetris company to licence the game.
From what I understand of soviet commerce in the 80s Alexey Pajitnov would have been entitled to set up his own company to sell Tetris within the Soviet Union except that he had programmed the game while at the Soviet academy of sciences, which made the game property of the Soviet government. This is not so different from how in the West if you coded the game on company time the game would belong to the company.
Honestly trying to read up on the history of Tetris at this time and who owned what and where royalties were going is an absolute minefield. Just as confusing as Western corporate mergers even though there's only two parties.
>Implying there were any Council Republics left in the 80s
6:28 This is the moment Scott discovers paper
He’s right tho. They’re cool asl
The NES Classic Edition was my family's first console, lol. 10/10 would start fights over player 1 again.
Man, that's bizarre lol. How old are you? The SNES, like the actual SNES I mean, was my family's first console, there's pictures of my dad holding me and my sister as infants under each arm while holding a SNES controller lmao, classic
Damn that's crazy, you're basically an 80s gamer in disguise! My first console was the GBA so I have a lot of appreciation for the SNES as the GBA is basically a portable SNES my first game was even super mario advanced (super mario world)
I think a good part of why the Mini-Console craze died down was due to... well, once you enter the 5th Generation of consoles, it becomes a hell of a lot harder to emulate the games from there. Saturn, Dreamcast, N64, it's only relatively recently that emulation for those consoles have gotten to an acceptable state, and even then you can see Nintendo still dealing with the nightmare of the N64.
This being said I do wish Nintendo would do mini consoles for the Gameboy line.
The CRT mode is because a lot of these sprites were designed with the understanding that CRT televisions would distort the sprites, and some developers worked with that. You compare how, say, Link in Zelda II looks on a CRT to your average HD display, and you realize they were using the limitations to make shapes that looked a lot less rigid than they do without a CRT television (or a filter).
Sorry if I explained that weirdly, this isn't really my area of expertise, but I've seen people smarter than me explain it, so I thought I'd spread the message.
Managed to get the last one at a local Target in holiday 2016 for my dad. He loved it and took it with him when he traveled for work and played it in hotel rooms. One of my favorite gifts I've given him.
I feel like the issue with Tetris is the Tengen version which is pretty universally accepted as the superior NES Tetris game; but being unlicensed and the lawsuit around that version.
Yeah, if you're rolling the dice on the U.S. market, they'll probably remember the Tengen black cart second, the Game Boy game first. The gray Nintendo-licensed cart? A distant third, if they remember it at all. Much of the U.S. market of the time likely thought Tetris was a Game Boy exclusive during the NES era, because it was the release title for the Game Boy. I don't think it would sell many of these devices.
I always use the CRT mode. It's because quite literally that is the way the games were meant to be played. The games were never expected to be blocky. They relied on the blurriness of the CRT to round out shapes. That love for the blocky look seems to mostly come from people who grew up on emulators. To each his own, but that's why they always put that mode on there.
And for what it's worth the NES Classic has a pretty great CRT mode.
The CRT mode on the Nintendo consoles is not good. They are just an image overlay that doesn't recreate the dithering effects actual crt's do. I use crt filters on emulators that mimmick the effects of a crt, and I wish these mini consoles did the same.
@@gamerfly101 those filters have some overhead though. Like they probably put a pretty low powered chip in there and proper filters would probably cause lag.
I think the filter looks a little better on the SNES one, since the sprites are "busier" with more pixels and colors. NES sprites are simple enough to look good with the sharp lines.
"(NES) games were never expected to be blocky."
Except in the advertising, cover art, manuals, and in the games themselves. Sometimes even the gameplay.
@GoblinSquid the developers' colors and intent with composite blur proves otherwise.
5:06 Great game, and really underrated.
Mega Man 4 is the best of the 6 games, but 2 is the most iconic.
Nostalgia am i right!!! Do you remember Mario? I remember Mario!
I remember...
Hell yeah I remember that guy!
The red guy from donkey kong?
Tetris is in rights hell to be sure. I think when the Classic launched, Ubisoft had the exclusive licensing? As for the GenMini version, I think the fact that it was a) unreleased and b) an unauthorized port to begin with (which is why it didn't come out, iirc), meant that there wasn't really a legal basis to worry about since...y'know, it was illegal to start and now 2 lifetimes later, no one at the Tetris company gave a feck enough to figure out a way to challenge it.
The target customers for this device likely wouldn't even remember _Tetris_ as a NES game and would tend to think of it as belonging to the Game Boy. It wouldn't sell this system as the impulse buy for which it was marketed, which is a problem with more than one game that actually DID make it onto this list. Maybe Nintendo's research said _"30 games, bare minimum, and we need them approved yesterday."_
The nes and snes mini hold a special place in my heart. The snes mini was the very start of my game collecting. Soon after i heard the nes mini was bein rereleased. I was lucky enough to find a single nes mini in yhe store after waiting for one to hopefully show up. Was the only one there. It started an obsssion with collecting mini consoles lol
Also as someone who wasnt even born when these consoles were around, i love the crt mode. it really puts me in that time period.
I would happily dump Ice Climbers to put Batman on there.
You do have to wonder when the novelty of _Ice Climber! The game you've heard about as a Nintendo fan but never played!_ wears off
0:30 Two "The Dark Age Of Nintendo if you will" jokes in the same month😮
I’m glad I was able to get my hands on this. It was so hard to find in stores and always sold out almost immediately but maybe 2 weeks later, I checked target and they had a decent stock for them and bought it in a heartbeat
I feel like if they'd included Mario Bros. Classic Series (the Germany & Italy exclusive one) it would have been a great value-add. That game's awesome. Original NES Mario Bros. not so much.
I like to think Castlevania 2 was included as a secret tribute to AVGN.
I was wondering why I knew so much about Castlevania 2 despite never playing it. Now I remember, it’s because of the nerd
I honestly he was the reason why Limited Run bother to remake Plumbere Don't Wear Tie. I bet you that they wouldn't have considered doing it if the Nerd didn't make the game well known.
*the black sheep of the series*
Zoda's Revenge is the one where Mike could move (and jump) diagonally.
I still have mine! It's a cool little piece of history.
Fun Fact: it is the smallest version of the NES that Nintendo has officially released.
Regarding the CRT mode, it actually makes the game look better; you see, these pixelated graphics were designed with the scanlines and blurryness of the crt tvs in mind. So, the game actually looks smoother and prettier with this, as opossed to having the sharpest pixels possibles ok your 4K tv, which only makes it look worse
I love this thing. Almost barely used it but it's like Scott said, I have different ways of playing those games more conveniently. But for what it is, it's a fantastic love letter to the NES. 9/10 tech
Got one for Christmas from my aunt, and my step-brother stabbed the console w/ a knife... idk why to this day.
Did the knife wound kill the system? Also, how's your step brother doing these days?
And here I thought I'd get more than 40 minutes out of 5 different mini consoles when Wott the Scoz here got just under 40 minutes out of 1.
That takes some major skill and I think knowledge.
The mini console modding scene that spawned out of this thing really elevated all the subsequent mini consoles from novelty (or lazy, barely-functional nostalgic cash grab in the worst cases) to legitimately some of my favourite ways to play old systems outside of real hardware, and as a bonus made me much more confident in my ability to get what I want out of RetroArch. The fact that modders even managed to turn the PlayStation Classic into something worth giving a single shit about is still mind-blowing to me given the negative amount of effort Sony put into that thing.
25:22 "Give me more!" [Like button lights up.]
This also marks the start of Nintendo's modern emulation efforts, Nintendo has an European studio which handles that, and I don't know if that studio handled previous efforts, but since they like to reset their retro library and emulators every generation, the ones the Switch uses started here. And it was good to remember that, the emulation for this Mini console was superb, especially in comparison to Wii U, wished we got a N64 mini console, because that would have forced the studio to make a proper good emulator for N64, instead of the rushed thing we got.
Who needs official NES Classic games when I can just pirate the games and play them in Nintendo Jail
All i want is a dreamcast classic
Better include a VMU!
And microphone, because it *has* to come with Seaman preloaded.
I think the reasoning behind the CRT mode is because some games made sprites with the CRT lines in mind so the edges would be blurred, so some games look better with the blurry CRT filter than the crisp pixel perfect visuals
But it looks like shit, nothing like a real crt
@@KaitouKaiju Eh, depends on the emulator. Some emulators have a great CRT filter, while some just put some lines over the screen and call it a day
"Oh man, I love Ice Climber!"
No you don't. :l
That fucking killed me.
I'd say CRT filters are a necessity for modern emulation of games from this period, considering these games' pixel graphics were made with the features and limitations of CRT displays in mind. Without these filters, it can result in these games' art sometimes looking markedly worse on modern displays.
18:15 "I like how Nintendo ... went against alphabetical order ... putting Zelda at the end there even if it begins with L"
You alright there Scott?
Kinda funny you didn't mention the PAL version of NES Mario Bros. (I think it's called "Mario Bros. Classic"?) that *did* fix the controls and made them more like the GBA version where you actually have mid-air control
I actually didn’t buy the NES classic, but my sister gave it to me once she already got NES games on Switch online, I mostly play it at parties or when I go to hotel rooms because of its easy connection and also it’s great on a ViewSonic monitor!
My fave accessory I bought for this at the time was an extension lead for the controllers. Wild that it needed to exist, but brought me back to buying the game thing for my GameCube controller so I could sit far away and still have rumble 😅
Reguler Super mario 3 has a battle mode that beats OG Mario Bross.
Whenever a Japanese company does something weird and bad like a 2ft controller cord, I just assume a higher-up thought it would be cool and everyone else was culturally required to go along with it.
I ended up snagging this thing in a Walmart for a low price a while after the scalper stuff. If I remember correctly, the SNES Classic already released (and was subsequently scalped) by then.
Can’t wait for SNES classic video Scott 😂
hell yeah yapping about nes classic
*great video sir! It is a fun unit to have & play! In Holland people had to pay $10 extra in Europe so it was the ONLY country to pay $70 for the unit which was pretty outrageous & one stinking controller* ⭐️
I eat the cotton candy from my walls
I also eat your wall food.
I think 2017 was around the time I stopped believing in Santa. Making this the NES classic like the final thing I ever asked him for.
Modded this with hackchi in like 5 minutes. So glad I got this. Get to relive all the games like Life force, chrysalis, final fantasy, mother, etc. Sure i could just emulate on my pc but man, playing these mini consoles with the controller and on the tv just hits way different. Its modernized original hardware.
Been playing this a lot lately, making my way through Kirby Adventure and messing around with some other games too.
It's a great package, but I do hate the one Controller in the package (Vs 2 for the SNES Classic) & it's short cord, the lack of a Rewind feature (also a great addition to the SNES Classic) also stinks. However save states make this thing great anyway, and it's still an excellent mini console. Great video Scott!
I give this unobtainium thing a 7/10
(I got the SNES mini, but it's the Europe version. Still plays Gradius 3 and Sonic 3 & Knuckles fine, though ;o)
"... Contra Anniversary Collection... I don't understand!"
I mean... Konami released Contra 4 and Contra Anniversary Collection. They own those games. They can release them whenever they want. If Nintendo wants to put them out they gotta pay Konami for the rights. Konami probably wanted too much money to release the original Contra. And if they could only pick one for whatever license fee Konami wanted... I guess they decided Super C was more worth it?
I play my NES games exclusively with a nunchuck
Wow, apparently you actually can use a nunchuk. They even have motion controls for start and select.
I'm sorry but why the fuck isn't Tecmo Bowl on the "why are you here?" list?
That is the MOST "why are you here" game of all honestly, I don't know a single person who cares about this game, I would honestly take Soccer over it
I got this in the re release after the snes mini. My first game ever was mario 3 on my parents nes, which is still amazing, even more so when I can save my game lmao. But for the most part I'm not that into NES games. Too many of them are little arcadey things that I'll try for a bit and get bored. The SNES mini's games feel a lot more modern, and i go back to that more often. Like I've tried NES metroid a few times, but i regularly-ish go back to do complete super metroid playthroughs. Just my experience.
I got one when they reissued it a few years later, 2018 or 2019, I think. I missed out on the SNES one 😪 Why did they make so few of both classic editions? The demand was super high.
The NES classic isn’t worth to own if you don’t have a PC to hack it and add the entire library of NES games to it you can also add almost anything to it like Sega CD games you need to change the NES controller use another controller that has 6 buttons I have the complete library I don’t really see the games that great the best games will always go to the PS4 PS5 Xbox one Xbox series X Nintendo Switch that good for its exclusive only
Aside from the input lag (as I own one, and the SNES version), the only bad thing about the NES Classic Edition and Famicom Mini was the noise channel for the audio. Even the Wii VC was better than that.
I wish n64 mini came out
I was lucky to score one of these off FB marketplace for $50 with an extra controller. Only thing missing was the HDMI cable
BoTW was the most disappointing game I’ve ever played. So much hype for a subpar, boring, empty game.
I played both of the consoles but my nes classic is the reproduction one it’s the one that was re-released and I had fun snes was my first Nintendo mini console and I’m glad I have them, I do wish they would release a n64 classic that would be cool
Even today you can still find some places selling Nes/Family clones, may be the reason this just didn't get my attention more so as this thing was scalped for like two or three years?
The NES Classic was awesome - honestly it felt like it was only missing ONE thing that would have really put it over the top compared to any other "classic" out there, and that's fullscreen mode.
"Why?" you ask. "Why would you want to stretch out your picture"?
It's because a mode like that isn't designed for a 16:9 TV - it's for the retro enthusiasts Scott has mentioned that have a 4:3 CRT television. I've got one with an HDMI port and another one with an adapter; I can take the Genesis Classic and full screen mode basically turns it into the same picture I had as a kid, but the NES and SNES classic crushes the image into a tiny vertical strip in the middle of the screen.
Given that retro enthusiasts were not the target market here, but rather nostalgia-driven impulse buyers, it may not have been cost-effective.
16:51 i assume it’s because the original boxart is using traced artwork from the movie predator and considering the fact that the nes classic edition shows games on its menus with their original boxarts, they would either have to deal with copyright from fox or make its own original boxart
I use the CRT filters (if they're well made). Why?
Pixel art was DESIGNED through a CRTs softened pixels
Pixel art often uses that haze as an advantage.
Check out the character selection screens in Capcom Fighting Collection.
That art is fine tuned for CRT. Disable the filter and break half the faces.
I enjoy scanlines in my retro games, as long as it's done properly.
I found my NES and SNES Classics in a tiny hole-in-the-wall retro video game store in my town on a whim one day. I bought them immediately. There was no way I was passing them up because the first time I was in the store I stupidly passed on a complete in box copy of the original Dragon Warrior complete with all its manuals for $70. I don't know why I did that. I kick myself for passing that up. To this day, that was the only time I ever saw the Classic systems in person. They have one flaw though. How hard would it have been to put a simple reset button on the controller itself? Given that resetting the console is how you get to the menu to save your state, it's silly that they only put it on the console. So you have to sit there with the console right next to you. So you need a really long HDMI cord in order to play on a couch. You sure couldn't play with the short cables they put on the controllers. lol
I'd argue that if Nintendo had the guts to put Ice Climber and Mario Bros then they should've included Wrecking Crew and Mach Rider, not because they are bad or anything, but they're more enjoyable and also are black box nes games
If only this and the Snes version not went out of stock and became super expensive not so long after release.
Tetris is one of the worst and time and time again proven overrated games of all time. It was my first game along with marble madness btw on my older siblings old gameboy. Just trash game that needs to go away.
Where did you get NES Classic Edition from? I wanna buy it!
i would have loved a mini n64 or mini gamecube console.
