fuck nintendo

there's a lot of stuff going up online, like this week Toys r Us and EToys and Sears all had them (sears had them twice, I was in a mtg during the first sale though ;_;) and Amazon had 'em either this week or last, but it sells out quickly and the ones that don't sell out immediately are bundles, all of which are overpriced by at least $30 over what the list price would be for the individual items, which is fucked up.

if yr seriously still hunting for a wii online, just check the amazon page for it at noon EST (ie 9am california time) because that is when all internet shops put their products onsale and people go mad crazy tipping each other off on the amazon page (I've found it to be more reliable than the RSS tracker feeds but my work computer is REALLY F'ING OLD so that could be part of the problem)!

-- Allyzay doesnt get into the monkeys or vindications (allyza...), Today 10:04 AM. (allyzay) (later)

good idea! i check the page all the time but i'll try at noon now.

Doubt anyone'll take.
Meh.
I'm gonna stumble to the bathroom.

Dude.
I don't have the cocaine you crave.
Perhaps you should try switching to heroin. Then you'd be too busy staring at the wall when you weren't getting money for more to be on here. *"Gets!"*

Disappointed to see that Miitomo is less a game and more a social media thing

the title of this thread hurts me in my heart

xp. im totally buying this gimmicky thing.

uuugh i'm gonna buy that stupid thing i think.

I expect my son will be all over this, looks like a good deal

they are going to sell so many of these

I think a pre-order is in order.

why not just download an emulator for free and get a USB NES controller

you can't even play Klax on that thing

*extreme nerd voice* wonder about the upscaling

why not just download an emulator for free and get a USB NES controller

why not do both

this is meant as a xmas present almost certainly and is going to be the hot gift

and after two months, it will join my ouya in storage

so aside from the built-in games, does this (only?) play old cartridges?

otm

the whole no saves/permadeath thing was just the norm for so long and completely foreign to most of the modern video game experience

here kid, this is super mario brothers, you get three lives. no, you have to complete all eight worlds right now, or leave the console running on the pause screen or something. just finish it already!

the new box keeps save states, naturally.

hey nerds this thing has bubble bobble on it. that is literally all that matters

that's only fun w/two players iirc

you do not rc

bobblin bubbles owns

i think nintendo's selection was a pretty good one keeping in mind licensing and nostalgia restrictions, but here are my favorite nes games not included in the pack:

Adventures of Lolo
Arkanoid
Banana Prince
Batman
Blaster Master
Bio Force Ape
Bio Miracle Bokkute Upa
Bionic Commando
Bomberman
Bump 'n Jump
Contra
Devil World
Duck Tales
Earthbound Beginnings
Faxanadu
Gargoyle's Quest II
Golgo 13: Top Secret Episode
Goonies II
Gun.Smoke
Joust
Kung Fu
Lifeforce
M.C. Kids
Mega Man 3
Rockman 4 Minus Infinity
Rygar
Super Dodge Ball
Sweet Home
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II
Wizards & Warriors

Dragon Warrior IV
Holy Diver
Chip 'n Dale's Rescue Rangers
Metal Gear
Fantastic Adventures of Dizzy
Rampage
River City Ransom

i would probably buy this if it just had Lolo games

tru
the 2016 lolo box

someone's hacked an "every nintendo game, one cartridge" type of thing together, right? I think my friend had one, but maybe that was for snes

my friend with a full standing neo geo arcade system has one of those but with like 50 neo geo games on it. metal slug, king of monsters, puzzle de pon, all a couple button pushes away.

many xps WHOA thats like totally the fake instrument from the Masters of the Universe movie but like FOR REAL

(useless post alert)

Had a dream that someone had released a mini c64, which worked as a wireless keyboard for PCs. It was cylinderical in shape and about the size of a tv remote, but the keys wrapped all the way around it making it completely unusable.

ahhahaha that's great!

oh, dammmmmmmn

better get downloading then :)

Remember?

They're using the same tactic for NES Classic. Every store that got them in stock to sell today only had somewhere between 3-12 total... mostly leaning towards the lower end of that.

its been a while since they had to make more than 5 consoles at a time, maybe they forgot how to!

Well, they apparently didn't do it with Wii U! From what I hear.

no one bought more than two wii u consoles in a given city at any time

Well, point is this feels like some Record Store Day BS
