And yet you advertise them for free.

Without you cunts I'd not have to know about them existing.

>>7088489
they keep selling people the same game. Does anyone actually play on these or is it just another display piece?

>>7088529
I actually want one (to play) just because I really like smb2, but no way in hell I’m paying $50 for a ton that’s almost 40 years old. If there was a way I could play it on my gba there’d be no reason for me to buy this though

>>7088542
Rom* that’s almost 40 years old

>>7088489
For $50 they could have at least made it out of metal.

>>7088489
>this is a bigger ripoff than the mini consoles
What's wrong with playing a tiny official SMB?

>>7088560
>For $50 they could have at least made it out of metal.
This is 2020 not 1980. Inflation. Look it up. If it was made out of metal it would cost 130 dollars at least before tax.

>>7088641
>this is 2020 not 1980, where a typical tween would know that making a small toy out of metal doesn't magically make it cost more than double
indeed

If they find out how to inject more roms it mite b cool

>>7088641
Not if they made it out of scrap aluminum like Apple does with their laptops.

>>7088928
On top of the complete lack of storage, the USB port is power only. There will never be CFW for this.

>>7088932
>USB port is power only.
What the absolute fuck? Surely this isn't an actual product that Nintendo will release with their name and logo attached to it?

>>7088937
C'mon man, Final Fantasy, Donkey Kong, fucking Zelda. Everything is getting one of these eventually.

>>7088932
you underestimate the spergpower of reversers. there will be a debug header inside it somewhere so breakout your JTAG cables

When it was released no one even noticed nor cared. Now that people started talking about it the scalpers bought them all. LOL.

Honestly, this isn't even worth it. A watch that can play 3 rom files from NES? LOL

Might as well just get one of those fami clones and play them like that. I was tempted to buy it to mod it. But with so little memory? It's not really worth it. Maybe for $20-$30 ish. Why not? But for $50? Nintendo kids will buy anything lol It's That legend of zelda warriors game all over again.

>>7088542
you could play the rom on a flashcart or pic related

>>7088489
dont get it if you're just gonna hoard it

I'm not sure who the target demographic is as, Battery will eventually fail & not user serviceable- long term collectability (ala gameboy) is non existent due to the battery eventually taking a fat shit


i sold my neogeoXgold for this very reason


how is a product made in 2020 worse than the original? (replaceable watch batteries and insane battery life)

>>7088542
You could run the Lost Levels ROM on an NES emulator, or play the Famicom Mini ROM.
I'd recommend using another device like the 3DS or PSP if you'd want to play this game, since the GBA's resolution is much smaller than the NES's that the game needs to be downrezzed

>>7088995
Oh yeah nothing going to stop people form trying to get doom running on it, but the processing power and storage would require so much hardmodding to make it anywhere close to worthwhile as a portable emulator that you might as well just be trying to make a pi fit inside the case instead.

Already been hacked.

>>7089159
>can overwrite the encrypted ROMs in place
Yeah, call me when you can actually do something meaningful to the firmware.

>>7088489
YAAAAS AN OPPORTUNITY TO BUY THE SAME GAME AGAIN

NINTEDOCHADS JUST KEEP WINNING

>>7089043
Hey you’re right I could just buy that

>>7089630
It’s 20 bucks on Amazon dingus and that was with 10 secs of googling

>>7089059
>I'd recommend using another device like the 3DS
The 3DS is the one and only valid option for your 8 and 16 bit retro needs.

>>7088489
Heh heh, yeah, totally... *Eyeballs the one that I bought right next to me*

>>7088489
its definitely a rip off considering what the NES mini got you, but ive always wanted to hold/own a game and watch, and its nice to be able to play mario 1 and 2 on it instead of just ball.

It just feels really good in the hands and the presentation of it all is nice

>>7088542
It was released on GBA as part of the NES Classic Series. Only in Japan, but that shouldn't be a problem

I hope it gets hacked, it seems like a comfy way of playing GB/GBC/NES roms. If it gets hacked I'll see if I can get one, if it doesn't get hacked or I can never get one easily before Nintendo stops producing I won't cry about it either.

It's nothing but pure tat that Nintendo know will sell out because of it's hardcore fanbase and many scalpers. The most value it'll have is if it's hackable like the mini NES/SNES.

> Year 0: Novelty, pay the full price.
> Year 7 : Remade, sold along with 3 to 4 other games, costs less than the original.
> Year 14: Made portable, sold along with another game, modes added, costs less than the original.
> Year 15 - 34 : Sold as is (as seen on year 0) on nearly all of the Nintendo systems, at outrageous prices, sometimes that rom comes from unofficial sources.
> Year 35 : Come on guys, it's my anniversary !! Pay me 50 fucking bucks to replay the same shit, on a bad resolution & ratio shitty little screen.

I also want to add, near 2009, I sold on Amazon to one of the Nintendo EU divisions a loose PAL SMB Deluxe for the GBC.
Why the fuck would they go as far as uncovered to buy such a mass produced and oversold game on such a large platform as AMZ is, idk, especially when that BIG N division was located in/near a city that has dozens of videogame shops selling that same LOOSE copy of SMBD.
To give that cartridge to the US/JP division so they can put the rom on the eshop at the time?
I still wonder to this day.

>>7088932
>there will never be CFW for an off the shelf STM part that millions of hobbyists write shit for every way
>>7089570
>Doubles down on stupid.
lol

>>7088542
>>7088489
Because it was fucking damage control after the scam fiasco that was the 3D All stars 3 ROM pack they sold at 60$.

And that grotesque drama whore Richard Masucci keeps making homosexual noises and shitting himself in his videos and making flip flop videos on Nintendo and the Switch Pro which is NEVER happening.

>>7088489
Reminds me of when they tried the GameBoy Micro.

I didn't think it was as bad an idea as people thought at the time.

>>7089048
>dont get it if you're just gonna hoard it
Why not

This makes me want to ask: Is there any "mini" console worth buying?
I was thinking of buying the the Genesis and Turbografx since I never played any of them.
I'm thinking it's basically paying for someone setting the emulator for me + the controller; however they're already hacked so I can add my own ROMs.

>>7092903
for me, the coolest part of the NES classic and SNES classic are brand new manufactured controllers.

at one point you could get a ps1 classic with 2 USB ps1 controllers for like 30 dollars

>>7088489
>Squished graphics like the GBA ports
No thanks.

>>7092915
Quit bullshitting.

>>7092910
Got mine for $20.
Hacked it and has over 50 psx games now

>>7092903
>>7092910
PS Classic is the cheapest and easiest one to hack. I bought one brand new for $40 and loaded it with autobleem, a bunch of PS1 games, as well as TG-16/CD Sega Genesis/CD, SNES, NES, and GB/GBA.

>>7092938
I've literally seen nothing but bullshit about this thing. Half the people who shit on it don't even get the information right.
