 Re: NES IS BACK.........
 
 Do you honestly think that somebody buys something like this expecting it to NOT be outdated? Nope, this is for upper teens and 20's who grew up with this thing like I did. I think it would be lots of fun to go back and play Contra, RBI Baseball, Ice Hockey, Tecmo Bowl, etc, etc all over again. And don't mention ROM's, they aren't the same.Originally posted by BGarrett7PS4: aBayBates

 I'm 24.Originally posted by FootballForeverdude just forget about it, If you don't mind how old are you?
 
 I understand completely who they are going to be marketing it towards. But it's something that isn't going to be flying off of store shelves anytime soon. It's more of an item one of us would pass in a store, say, "that's pretty sweet," and never give a second thought. Is it a cool idea? Yeah, totally. Is it something that the world was absolutely demanding? Not at all.Originally posted by abates21Do you honestly think that somebody buys something like this expecting it to NOT be outdated?

 Would it be cool to go back and play old NES games? Again, in theory, yes. But when you actually start doing it, you'll realize just how crappy, slow, and of poor-quality most games of the time were. Even if you were to buy one of these, I bet it would have absolutely no replay value and will pop up by the hundreds on eBay within weeks of it's release.
 
 Bottom line? It's a total novelty item that just won't sell. And even if it does, people will just realize how crappy the NES was and how they just threw away $59.Comment

 Re: NES IS BACK.........
 
 No. "New" cartridges perhaps? The games they put in, was in a brand new unit right? How do the games do once the unit has been used for a couple months or so?Originally posted by FootballForeverWell you buy them, did you think they would come free with the system?
 
 In all honesty, I'd rather buy one of those A/V controller arcade games than a unit and games. I think that approach would work better than this one.

 Re: NES IS BACK.........
 
 I understand what you're saying... to an extent.Originally posted by FootballForeverIt's a classic, keep it 
 
 Here's my rebuttle (and this goes with every rant of mine): just because something's a classic, it doesn't make it better than new things... same with movies... same with stadiums... same with fashion.
 
 
 I may keep it if I want to go back to it, but like everything... it's not that I go with what's "in"... I go with what's better.

 Re: NES IS BACK.........
 
 And I'm sure some would argue that the NES > PS2 & Xbox. The NES made much more of an impact on the gaming industry than PS2 & Xbox have, just to name one.Originally posted by BlzerI understand what you're saying... to an extent.

 Re: NES IS BACK.........
 
 Well... sure they made more of an impact. That doesn't make it a better system by any stretch of the imagination.
 
 
 Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier, yet Barry Bonds, Willie Mays, and Hank Aaron were better African American baseball players. Who would you choose for your fantasy team?
 
 Do you want me to compare airplanes now?
 
 
 
 
 Again... sorry for my "rant". I just don't understand why classics aren't more under the radar than they deserve to be in terms of comparing quality [as opposed to value].Last edited by Blzer; 12-20-2005, 10:58 PM.Samsung PN60F8500 PDP / Anthem MRX 720 / Klipsch RC-62 II / Klipsch RF-82 II (x2) / Insignia NS-B2111 (x2) / SVS PC13-Ultra / SVS SB-2000 / Sony MDR-7506 Professional / Audio-Technica ATH-R70x / Sony PS3 & PS4 / DirecTV HR44-500 / DarbeeVision DVP-5000 / Panamax M5400-PM / Elgato HD60Comment

 Exactly. Being the first to make an impact doesn't always make something the greatest.Originally posted by BlzerWell... sure they made more of an impact. That doesn't make it a better system by any stretch of the imagination.
 
 FT, how many times have I heard you refute the fact that Nirvana was the first big Seattle band to break into the mainstream, but in the end were far from being the best?Comment

 I never said it was the greatest, I just said others may prefer the system because of the impact it made, which has no doubt influenced the gaming industry to a large extent.Originally posted by BGarrett7Exactly. Being the first to make an impact doesn't always make something the greatest.

 And I don't know how stadiums relate the topic? Or fashion for that matter.

 Re: NES IS BACK.........
 
 I wonder if this re-incarnated NES will have the same problems of having to blow on the cartridges just to get the game to load up!  
 
 I like the idea of reincarnating the NES and maybe it could build a niche following. That's the best that these guys can hope for.Member of the Official OS Bills Backers Club

 Fine, then just stick with the other things.Originally posted by Fresh TendrilsAnd I don't know how stadiums relate the topic? Or fashion for that matter.
 
 What I meant by those two were not the impact necessarily, but how people don't like change because something was a "classic". Even stadium names! I can't TELL you how many people are completely aggravated that The Ballpark in Arlington is now Ameriquest Field. Granted, it doesn't make the stadium better, but it's business... it was bound to happen. I'm sure that it was a classic... that's okay... we all know that. But somebody probably benefits (like the Texas Rangers). So, in the long run, it's probably better.Samsung PN60F8500 PDP / Anthem MRX 720 / Klipsch RC-62 II / Klipsch RF-82 II (x2) / Insignia NS-B2111 (x2) / SVS PC13-Ultra / SVS SB-2000 / Sony MDR-7506 Professional / Audio-Technica ATH-R70x / Sony PS3 & PS4 / DirecTV HR44-500 / DarbeeVision DVP-5000 / Panamax M5400-PM / Elgato HD60Comment
