It does a lot more than that, thanks to the hacking community. Adding new games to the NES Classic is almost as easy as putting files onto a USB drive now. I can even create new folders in the system to neatly organize games into categories like “shooters” and “Run & Gun”. Makes selecting from a large number of games a breeze. Game compatibility is impressive also. I’ve only encountered about 5 games that wouldn’t work. Adding box art for each game is easy as well.
Of coarse the NES Classic can also run Retroarch and play stuff like PSOne games as well. Although i’m strictly using it as an NES system.
lol! I only paid Double-retail price for the U.S version which included shipping cost. The European version only cost me $100 total, which also included shipping costs.
Both were great deals for such an insanely hard to find item. Like i said, Nintendo has my support when they do things RIGHT and don’t half-ass their product.
Which is what the Switch is. It’s a half-assed hybrid portable creation and nintendo is hoping their silly gimmicks will make up for their cheap effort, and get them sales.
If you think the nes rombot thing was a good deal for $120, then another for $100 and the switch, essentially a full fledged consome at $300 was not, i think there’s only one word i can call you at this point
Only Paid. Hey guys, look how smart Alpha Charlie is for only paying double the Retail Price for a shit Plug-n-play TV Game.
And he did it not once, but twice.
Yet you also use (or you claim to use) a Raspberry Pi with Retro Pi installed, which also uses Retroarch.
Your arguments have no weight.
I think I wasted less money than you getting a first production run Analogue NT and a Everdrive N8. I had to hack nothing, and violating no warranty.
I only encountered 1 game that don’t work right with the Everdrive as it lacks sound (Lagrange Point). And unlike you I can still use real carts. While you scour the net for hacks.
The emulation is stellar with no lag. I’m sorry you hate nintendo so much lol.
Yes i have the full Raspberry Pi/Retropie set up. Which can do everything the NES Classic can and more. Still, the NES Classic is pretty awesome at what it does. As well as being an official, new model NES from Nintendo. Can’t forget that.
The Switch is a brand new model official from Nintendo as their new Flagship console.
Can’t forget that.
The NES classic is not a NES, its a POS Linux Rom box with locked down hardware you had to hack.
For that extra $220 plus you spend on the NES Rom box POS, you could spend a fraction of that money to make your Raspberry Pi look like a Real NES and use Real NES controllers.
Yes I play original, real NES and Famicom Carts, owns every actual Nintendo console from the NES to the Game Cube, has a GBA and a 3DS and has preordered a Nintendo Switch.
Yeah, I guess he did run up in here all aggressive saying the Switch sucks and anyone who buys it is stupid. And I guess he did overpay for a shitty emulator, not once but twice, when any basic PC could do the exact same thing for free. But nobody’s getting through to him.
Let me edit this, I don’t care if he bought the mini. He likes it, good for him. I was enticed by it at first too.
Not just that but I debunked his low battery life claims. The Switch has the same battery play time as the 3DS and PS Vita, 3 to 6 hours.
For Nintendo, lower system specs has never been a weak point. Anyone who does go ham over system specs just don’t get Nintendo’s appeal.
Many times, Nintendo systems having the lower specs was a strength not a weakness. Nintendo always marched to the beat of it’s own drum.
Famed Nintendo Engineer Gunpei Yokoi once said “Lateral Thinking with Withered Technology”.
I don’t know what it is about DarkSakul but, his rabid hate-boner for the NES Classic just won’t quit. Ever since it was announced, he’s done nothing but complain about it and bashes on anyone who admits to buying one, or is interested in buying one. It’s obnoxious actually.
Maybe he’s one of those weird, anti-emulation zealots…
