Yes... not because I'm really dying to play it, but I'll want one, and it may be difficult to get later on.

Have you seen the size of it? Even not for the incredible set of games which are loaded into the thing, but the actual console itself would make a beautiful addition to any video game collection, the fact that it's a playable NES is just the icing on the cake to a beautiful collectable.

I'm not dying to play it because if I wanted to play an NES game, I've probably already bought it on virtual console, or as a remake. In some cases, like Super Mario Bros 3, I have bought it more than thrice.  It's a neat enough collectable that I'll buy it anyway, but it's not like I'll cry myself to sleep if I don't have a 7th system to play Mega Man 2 on.

I'm just hoping it doesn't immediately sell out to some scalper assholes who then put 30 of them up on eBay for crazy prices. Some are already up there (essentially buying a preorder) for over $100.

Would be nice if we could get an exact time and date for when they'll be available to preorder or just order on amazon.



I'd rather to get a Switch and use the VC instead.



Probably not, though there are some games on there that make it very tempting, but I will likely end up passing on it.... and regretting it later TwT

Does anyone know if there're the possibility of checkpoints? If not, NES games are a nightmare. I'm not such a hardcore gamer xD.

If not, I'll probably buy it because of Nintendo love and collector purposes. Not sure though. If a SNES mini is ever released, I'll buy it day one. Games are way more accesible, and it was my first console, so nostalgia is strong with that one.

There are 4 save states for every game.So you can save anytime for any game, even for the hard ones, like ghosts and goblins!

I recommend checking a review to see if you think the system is for you.

That's neat. The thing is that I've beaten almost everyrthing Nintendo has ever released except for NES games, so it would fell like a whole new system for me. I was worried about save states, because I was told that NES games are really hard, but with save states it's done xD.

Amazon was meant to deliver day 1 but kindly informed me that Nintendo didn't deliver enough stock to honor all of their pre-orders.

I don't get Nintendos policy of understocking just about everything.....



I was planning to. Short cables are a real issue for me, but there should be a wireless version.



Intel Core i7 8700K | 32 GB DDR 4 PC 3200 | ROG STRIX Z370-F Gaming | RTX 3090 FE| Crappy Monitor| HTC Vive Pro :3

Maybe some day. Not really in a hurry.



Didn't plan to get it, but it sat at my local retailer yesterday, so I just took it with me! I'm loving it so far, the emulation is really awesome and better than anything I have seen on PC before. I also like the CRT filter. I started with StarTropics, I'm gonna play that sucker from the beginning to the end!

The only downside is the controller cable. It's really really short. Ridiculously short. Seriously, what were they thinking?
