Damn. Both of those bundles were $120+ if it helps.

Are folks over this item now that the holiday stretch is done?

How about a slight remodel into a "Retro Gaming Systems" thread for Nintendo / Atari / Colecovision discussion? :)

Not sure if this fits, but got a notice about the Gameband Atari Edition wearable. (Terraria too apparently.)

You can sign up here for notifications. There will be a kickstarter launching 2/8.

Nintendo is discontinuing the NES Classic Edition, a plug-and-play console that became popular with collectors as soon as it launched last fall. A Nintendo representative confirmed that the last shipments of the NES Classic Editions will hit stores this month. Once that stock dries up, retailers will not receive any additional new consoles.

Throughout April, NOA territories will receive the last shipments of Nintendo Entertainment System: NES Classic Edition systems for this year. We encourage anyone interested in obtaining this system to check with retail outlets regarding availability. We understand that it has been difficult for many consumers to find a system, and for that we apologize. We have paid close attention to consumer feedback, and we greatly appreciate the incredible level of consumer interest and support for this product.

This was the plan all along, according to Nintendo in a statement to IGN. “NES Classic Edition wasn’t intended to be an ongoing, long-term product. However, due to high demand, we did add extra shipments to our original plans,” it told IGN.

Those extra shipments never made it any easier to purchase the NES Classic Edition. Prices skyrocketed on reseller websites throughout the hardware’s short life. Any time a retailer received a limited quantity in stock, the entire shipment would sell out in minutes. Along with the NES Classic Edition systems, Nintendo will also discontinue the NES Classic Controller. The peripheral is sold separately and compatible with both Wii and Wii U as well. It plugs into the Wii Remote to be used for NES Virtual Console games. Considering the difficulty in procuring an NES Classic Edition, Nintendo managed to sell an impressive 1.5 million units as of late January and was increasing production.

Is this a way to play games featured on the Ninento NES - without necessarily having a Nintendo NES?

We are passionate retro gamers and we specially love Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis games. We created a web site with a curated list of the best 16 and 8 bits games, and you can play and discuss them for free.

We have many games from the 80s and the 90s, for example classic games like Mario, Zelda, Street Fighter, Donkey Kong, Star Fox, Sim City. But also games from movies like Aliens, Star Wars, the Lion King, Ninja Turtle, etc.

We not only love famous games we LOVE small great games not so famous like the Desert Strike series, Micro Machine (so cool!), and of course all the Dragon Ball Z series (we are big fan of it!).

See you soon on our site and please tell us what do you think about :D Sharing is caring.

Happy retro playing!

Is the nostalgia drive for the Nintendo NES Classic Edition due to just its content or the content plus the overall retro look of the product?

the nes does allow you to play on older large screens. but just about any large samsung flatscreen will be able to be hooked up to your computer. microsoft make controllers for the computer.



the need for nes is dead. your welcome.


it is piracy though.

We get it you want to use piracy and steal the games...
Lots of us like to purchase official real items and clearly there was enough demand for these to be constantly sold out world wide.

it was revealed that major stores, some of which only ever got one shipment of them, got only 1-6 of them.

I don't understand this. I kind of get why they didn't make enough at first, not knowing how it would do, but given demand why would they pull the plug? Or is the demand only because of lack of supply?
