Did you buy one?

Did you buy one?

Are you planning to get one?

What's it even for? What can you play on it?

It comes with some preloaded NES emulators.

If you're not retarded you can make a $30 raspberry pi do this instead of paying $60

Maplins are selling it for £100. £100.

You can pirate it for free.

Do real NES games fit in it? Or is it all emulator only?

Emulator only

u can download ANY classic nintendo game for FREE!

If it could actually load carts in addition to the 30 games it holds it'd be worth 60 bucks to maybe start a collection.

Why would I get this instead of use my phone or other emulators? Is it just for people who want to give Nintendo money?

No and no. This thing sells purely on nostalgia and nothing else. Fucking hell they haven't even bothered to make it possible to add other games to the thing, not to mention you could download an emulator and whatever games you want for free.

Why doesn't Nintendo just sell nes games on the eshop? Why fork money over to this?

bought one already. sold it for $250.
then bought a ps4 with that

I was thinking of getting it as a gift for my parents, since the last time they played vidyer was NES.

$35 pi
$10 SD card
$10-30 Controller
+USB power supply, USB cord, HDMI cord

The pi is the (much) better option for someone willing to put in the work, but the costs are roughly the same.

no

those games aged like milk

They do, this is for normies.

This

I know a Mexican girl who bought three, WTF?

Oh ok. Sounds dumb but makes sense through nintendos perspective

You can also put the entire NES and Famicom library on that as well, so you still win out.

The NES Classic Controller's cable is about 30 3/8 inches long, while the original NES controller's cord is approximately 91.5 inches long.

Bought like six of them to resale to nostalgiafags for like $200 a pop to build my pc.

see Only retards are buying this.

And to make matter worse, I work at FUCKING GAMESTOP and none of us can get any work done because we have to answer phone calls every 2 minutes about it and explain Nintendo only sent us 2 and they sold instantly. It's gotten so bad we just unplugged our phones.

There's nothing good about this shit.

I'll buy one but not for the ebay price.

She probably got two more for resale, they're currently reselling for 200 bucks or more.

Fucking scalpers, man...

If you think for one fucking minute i'm gonna spend 3-6 weeks to a fucking year learning that shit, get the fuck out

>Nintendo only sent us 2.

And that's largely in part due to them underestimating the demand, they did the same thing for the Pokemon Go Plus accessory.

hold the phone autismo...

You don't know how to use removable flash storage and how to download things from the internet?

That $100 pokeball wrist mounted LED button actually sold?

No, but I'm going to pick up a couple of the controllers when I see them in stock so I can play some emulators on my Wii.

>That $100 pokeball wrist mounted LED button actually sold?
>$100

That's the resale value, MSRP is $34.99 before tax.

But yes, most stores sold them quickly.

I don't think they're underestimating demand, since this has been happening since Amiibo, and before that the Wii.

>since this has been happening since Amiibo.

And have a good look at Amiibos now. I can easly buy Pit, Gold Mario, and Palutena for MSRP.

>computer repair knowledge
Nigger its one fucking board, if something goes out you replace the entire board.

I think your underestimating the overall computer operation knowledge though. Knowing how to operate a pre-built Windows PC will not cut it, you will need to operate a Windows PC just for the initial download of shit. For actual setup of the Pi you're going to have to learn some simple Linux commands at least and how to navigate shit without an easy UI.

Overall though I can't imagine there being anyone retarded enough to not get one set up in at least around 2-3 hours with all the guides out there. You honestly don't have to learn much at all unless you're doing big custom projects on the thing.

Yeah, 2 years after launch.

I might get one if I see it for MSRP.

Doubt that'll happen while it's still relevant, though.
