    The cord is a fucking disaster, had to stand up and play. Its hard to find the extender.

    Just scored one a few minutes ago on Best Buy Canada's website. They must of dropped some more. After going back only 2 were left in stock. Keep checking out big outlet online store. A few F5's & I was able to score one. Free shipping but HST charge from Best Buy. D'oh!!!

    Many are going up on Amazon USA & CDN @ 5pm EST. Good luck to all. :)

    Is there a link for the 5pm release? I haven't been able to find anything on Amazon

    I think this thing is a spectacular ripoff. I can't believe people are willing to drop $300 plus on this. I mean, you can get one of those retro duo consoles that play the actual original games form both NES and Super NES for $40, and it totally works. Why would people drop $300+ for a console that does even accept cartridges? I just don't get it.

    It isnt a ripoff at its retail price of $60. Nintendo plays into scalpers for some reason, and people are impatient to throw away hundreds of dollars on this.

    $60 for a system, 30 really good, nostalgic games in their authentic form, with HDMI hookup and an authentic controller is a great deal.

    I whipped Tysons ass many a time, and I plan on doing the same to Mr. Dream
    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.

    Oh I see, thanks. Well that is definitely much more reasonable! I can't believe there are scalpers for this thing, lol. I still think the Retro Duo console is way cooler though.

    Bots are scraping them all up. Why must everything I try to enjoy be ruined by fucking bots??!!

    Yes, from what I gather, people seem to employ bots to scoop up sneakers, capitalizing on collectors.

    They have turned their attention to these. Any timed-specific sale is going to be a 1/100 chance, if that. The best hope is to stay vigilant to nowinstock or zoolert for random drops to scoop one up. Unfortunately, most places will probably hoard all their stock for the day after Thanksgiving.

    Fuck Nintendo for operating this way. Im half tempted to say fuck it and make this

    It's been called that since the re-release on NES after they dropped Mike Tyson due to him raping women...

    "plays into scalpers"

    They obviously underestimated demand.

    Not true at all. The license to use Tyson's name expired in 1990 and Nintendo chose not to renew it because of his defeat by Buster Douglas that February. The Mr. Dream version of the game was released in August that year. Tyson was arrested for rape in July 1991.

    I looked into it today and I am definitely going to make a RetroPie on a Raspberry Pi 3. The instructions are fairly easy and the possibilities are almost endless. I purchased everything I need, including a wireless NES controller for about $100.

    I might look into that, too, Mayday. I just wish I had the skills and savvy to make a cool looking case out of an old game cartridge or something.

    Dammit. Got to 4-4 on super Mario try #3. I don't remember all of the spots. Galaga is fun as hell. Drinking martinis while playing NES is a new experience. Lol

    Tecmo Bowl is still easy (just pick pass D every time) but the Bo Factor doesn't exist like it did with the original

    Nice!

    I opened the 2 controllers with long cables I ordered when I set up the system the other night. They were the original type cables. :lol:
    The adapters are on 2-4 week order. Oh well. Until then am fine with a longer HDMI cable and single controller....my nephew and I alternated turns some yesterday. Funny to see a 12 year old on his birthday morning wanting to play Punch Out and Super Mario Brothers. Also....Pac Man is tough with this controller. Need to have the old school joystick to mop up at Pac Man

    Does the NFLPA license still in effect or do the players just have numbers? Also, do the Colts have Eric Dickerson or Albert Bentley for RB?
