All my Chris Ormondes from yesterday approved, if anyone is still on the fence about doing them. I think the batches today are worse, but at least he's not mass rejecting (me).

I'm trying to get one too it keeps saying in stock but then I add to cart and it says cart empty.
Nobody on Twitter will respond, why are these so massively popular? I was just guessing for resell. It's only got 30 games, right?

because fanboyism lol.

i think it's overly priced for what it is. Even sega's relaunch of the Genesis was much better. http://www.dailydot.com/debug/sega-genesis-preorder-details/

as well as their Sega Mini console

http://www.maxim.com/gear/sega-genesis-retro-gaming-console-sonic-25th-anniversary-edition-2016-07

This compact game console will come with 40 "full" SEGA games and another 40 bonus arcade/puzzle games, for a total of 80 built in. What's more, you'll be able to play all your Genesis titles with its working cartridge slot, along with any compatible titles you download off the Interwebs via an SD card slot.
and i keep mentioning that people can make a better version of the mini nes for cheaper, but it's not 'authentic.'

I'm not going to resell it; it's a birthday present for my husband. I guess for him there's the nostalgia component. I know you could just use emulators and stuff but it wouldn't really "feel" the same.

But you're still missing 637 games. I guess it's for collectors as well, even those that have all the original games & the original NES.

30 games, but the price of the actual carts right now is kinda high , like you will probably spend over 60 now for contra, mario 3 and zelda if you just wanted those 3 carts

Those collectors have some amazing collections, makes me jealous. I just fell in love with save states too much to go that route. Funny enough, I have one Super Nintendo game, when I was gonna start collecting and it's just collecting dust, lol.

I don't know that much about the early nintendos, didn't really start playing until 64, but how many of those games would you want anyway? For hubby, I think (hope?) he'd just enjoy playing some of his fave games from his childhood.

Wow, it's getting bad then. I used to be on nintendoage forum all the time. Seems like those wanting to collect are growing and inventory is shrinking. Doesn't help that some hoarders get like a ton of the same game when they can find it & don't leave any for anybody else.
