EazyIN Posted May 24, 2010 Author Share Posted May 24, 2010 Mainly the mario series, for those are the top chocices for it. oR I'll just get NES and SNES :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Monroe Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 You should probably get a top-loader. They're easier to get to work, and don't have region blocking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Green Fox Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 games I recommend for it:Super Mario Bros. 3Legend of Zelda, the first one NOT the second one, the second one sucks.Bubble Bobble 2Bases LoadedDuck Hunt (you'll need to get a light gun off ebay or something)Rockin' Kats (a seldom known about fun little action game about a cat trying to save his girlfriend) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Julius Quasar Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 Personally, I'd just get a Wii, and order some old school NES, and Super NES games for the "Virtual Console" feature of the Wii, and get a classic controller accessory to plug into the Wii to play the older games...Sometimes old NES consoles or games don't work anymore.

Its a huge adventure, a great challenge, and has tight well done controls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrypticQuery Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 I'm thinking about buying an NES on eBay or Amazon. Any Advice? (Also I may just get an SNES if I can;t find a reasonable NES)Ebay is the best place to look, I got mine for a good price there. Try to buy in wholesale lots, you can get bunches of great games through one. Also, see top ten lists on certain games you should get, if you have any questions on anything, don't hesitate to PM me! If you're going to buy the original VCR style one, I'd recommend one with a new 72-pin connector installed. Also, make sure you THOROUGHLY clean the games when you get them. This can be done with Q-Tips and Windex (Windex works MUCH better than rubbing alcohol.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Julius Quasar Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 I have a Wii >:lOh, I didn't know that... ...well, like I said, with a Wii, then you could use the Virtual Console feature to get the old Nintendo NES games. It's easier, and you don't have to blow on the game cartridges and hold down "Reset" with them like you did the with the actual NES.But if you want an NES console for Nostalgia purposes, then...I can't help ya'.

Owner/Technical Admin Sideways Posted May 27, 2010 Owner/Technical Admin Share Posted May 27, 2010 Get an original, not the top loader if you want nostalgia. Clean the games and replace the 72 pin connector if you can. If you don't know how to do it, there are instructions online, or someone could show you how here.

ThePointingMan Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 Contra on the nes is good, but I'd say get super nintendo, it's just so super, plus has starfox on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owner/Technical Admin Sideways Posted May 27, 2010 Owner/Technical Admin Share Posted May 27, 2010 I don't import games, and region locking can be removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Monroe Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 I don't import games, and region locking can be removed.It caaaan.... but its easier to get a top-loader. Removes the problem of having to replace the connector too, I'd think. And top loaders I've just had an easier time to get to work when compared to the original model.

Shinigami Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 Best thing for you to do for NES and it's games is stick to the VC that the Wii has..so this way you don't have to continuously blow on old cartridges. That or an Emulator, which there are to be frank a hell of a lot out there. but hey, if you want to find the original system for THE experience..then by all means, get it. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
