thought about it, Until I saw the game list
about 90% of them I already own Either on actual NES cartridge or as a 3ds, wii or WiiU download.. or on the "mega man legacy collection"
So to me, it's kind of a waste of my money

Well, it's more of a novelty item, and in that regard it's one of the more interesting ones I've seen.

Yeah I thought that was pretty clear from the start but there seem to be a lot of those reactions.

Wish Amiga would do the same with the Commodore 64. Well, okay, guess you couldn't do it, as that had a keyboard embedded in the chassis.

They could probably have you select the games from a menu and emulate the procedure of typing in some beep on the screen.
Btw Amiga was just a computer made by Commodore.

Yeah, that's true.
Oh, I thought Amiga was the manufacturer of the Commodore, not the other way around.

There are those reactions because people don't want to spend money on something they basically already have for free.
I always tell the truth, even when I lie.

did many games require the keyboard? I only really recall using either a joystick for most action games, or a mouse for the few strategy games like Deuteros.

I only remember one game that required you use the keyboard, otherwise it was all joystick. Don't think I ever had a mouse for it.

So, played a lot over the weekend.
Really cute systemsuper small and compact. I like that I have for save spots at anytime for any game, though the design is weird for that. Like, I have to get up and press the button beside the power to activate the save prompt
The controller cord is wayyyy to small, but I negate that by having a longer hmdi cord. But still.
However, the games look great on it.
Played mostly SMBs 3 on it and it is awesome as I remember.
So, great value for 80 bucks. Can I get roms for free? Yeah
But its just not the same, the classic controller makes it feel good and it doesnt feel cheap.
Worth it for 80 bones.
We all have it coming Kid

Mine arrived yesterday. For now I'm just using the cords it came with. I'll be getting a controller extension when stock becomes available.
To that point, right now it's actually handy in a perverse way that the controller's cord is short - it keeps the console nearby for easier reset-saves.
I've downloaded all the retro manuals because I don't know 100% about all these games & what to do yet. I probably haven't played about 20 of them ever in my life.
Gonna see about hammering on one game a week Super C to start, & I'm oddly fascinated for Balloon Fight next up.
