somehow the nes mini isn't available on amazon yet

for preorder

i didnt know that was a thing, that is really cool 😮

the nes mini that is

it was just announced

ahh

$60, 30 included games, save states

uses wiimote controller plugs and new nes controllers that work with the wii(u)

hoooly shit

i might have to get one

found it

it was in an announcement box

i don't know if its sold out or just not available for preorder yet

both are possible

if its in limited supply it will probably sell out

but it might just be too early, if it was just announced

there's so much hate on reddit advocating emulation

"just download the roms its free"

Ya but that isnt supporting the company that made it

or "its just a cash grab, nintendo can't innovate"

the argument shouldn't be one of price, or at least not solely. if price was the only factor that influenced purchasing decisions, the internet would have wiped out most of the games industry already

Nintendo isnt trying to innovate. They are providing a cheaper way for people to relive childhoods and introduce a new generation to some great games

the reasons im interested in getting the mini nes (instead of using roms) are: authenticity of the experience, desire to support the company, and belief that it will be easier for me to play these games on this system than to download the roms

all they're doing atm is nostalgia farming

because im trash at that kinda stuff

which i'm fine with

Im fine with it too. I have only played a few of the old games in remake form.

Its helping them get back on solid ground after the Wii U and thats great. They were my childhood

the nes was discontinued in the US the day after I was born

interesting fact

I bought ff1 on the wii and on ios

I have the right to emulate it! Kappa

is it on the nes mini?

i have nothing against emulating games you own

Actually fun fact

The oringal ff1 for the nes is way different then the one on ios

It was more based off games like dnd

yeah, they rereleased it on gba

Where you had a linited amout of aoells

Eh ported but more content

YES FF1

google fi uses tmobile networks, i wonder if i'll get this priveledge

I dont think you will. But I could be wrong

i use a grand total of 3 cents worth of data yesterday playing for 2 hours

no big loss

Had to step away, but I hate the arguement that people should use emulators

I am opposed to the use of emulators on principle alone

I only use them if I want to stream or record a game and I cant do it because I lack capture means. I havent used an emulator in a long time

I am fine with that

but casually I must own the game before I would do anything

Ya

so rip the fire emblem dream, some of the games go for 200 dollars on amazon

I believe the earlier ones werent even localized? I could be wrong

maybe you can get the japanese nes mini

they might put FE on it

there was just a terror attack in Nice, France

God, I would buy a consol that had all the fire emblem games

Heh guess i'll never have data issues with pokemon go

for 1 year

Yeah

game'll be dead in a year so who cares

Maybe not in a year

It has a lot of content to add

i'm already getting bored of it

Then that's your problem
