    I am a child of the 80s and still have my original NES. I hosted my extended family over Thanksgiving and broke out my old NES. My nephew and nieces spent four straight days playing Super Mario Brothers -- they had never experienced this gaming magic before. So I started looking for one of the NES Classic Minis to give my nephew for Christmas and disappointed that they are only available aftermarket! Just looked on eBay and they are going for $150+ (new in box), which a bit more than I'd be willing to pop for.

    Modding an NES classic is one of the greatest joys out there. It's also a mild pro that it works with the Wii, though I never actually used it with one.

    Got both the NES and SNES Classic and using that 'special software' they are loaded to the gills. The NES required no hardware mod to get all the NES library plus many GameBoy, GameBoy Color, TG-16, Sega Master System, Atari 2600, etc. I stuck with small games and systems that used a D-Pad, Start, Select and two action buttons. The SNES Classic however has an sdcard mod with 32GB of storage and basically has everything up to Sega CD/PCE-CD/TG-16 CD. I have two BT adapters and I use two Wii U controllers I use with it.

    Love my little NES Classic.
    Zero nostalgia for the SNES, so instead of getting the SNES Classic, I just put the entire system into my NES Classic XD.
    One button press, it reboots and launches into the SNES system, Menu, saves, music and games.
    Do one for the PlayStation Mini Classic though. Especially after BleemSync to modify the games list.

    The only things that made me want to buy both the NES Mini and the SNES Mini is the fact that they are super easy to hack and add games to them, because I would NEVER buy the SNES Mini if I couldn't play Donkey Kong Country 2 on it, my fav SNES game.
    I added just a few NES and SNES games to my mini consoles, mainly the ones I felt were missing like NES DuckTales or Tetris Attack and stuff, those mini consoles are my go to option to play NES and SNES games, both of my mini consoles are basically a compilation of my fav games for each system and is super neat

    I feel like the ability to play NES games on your HDTV via an HDMI cable without any mods or accessories and without having to subscribe to a service where you can temporarily download a game is a big selling point. Everdrives can be cool but you're still having to pull out the NES and set it up for your TV. The fact that you can hack it so that you can put every NES game on the system is a nice plus.
    I see people talking about the Wii... the Wii doesn’t output in 1080p and you can't use HDMI cables with it without using an adapter that doesn't even upscale the image.

Of course youre I Played Every Game series is how i found you but im the type of person who subscribes to someone based more on them and how they make videos, and not solely on what kind of videos they do. I dunno if these past two are just not getting through the algorithm or if most of your pther viewers just aren't interested in them, but i really enjoyed them.

    I hacked mine so I have all the NES games and Master System games, I also bought a couple of 3rd party cheap controllers and swapped the shells with a couple of faulty original NES controllers, worked a treat! Still going strong after all these years. I have recently acquired a CRT TV and dusted off my old NES. I have to say that these mini consoles do have some lag, it might just be a nano millisecond, but my goodness it is noticeable when you go back to some more difficult titles.

    I just bought an NES and SNES mini last summer, and hacked them to add all the games I missed out on. Super worth it.
    The only thing that was kind of difficult was making sure I bought an authentic copies, since there are bunch of Chinese bootlegs going around.
    Anyways, I was finally able to beat the original Zelda on my NES mini, and I finally beat Chrono Trigger on my SNES mini (A game I had to hack on)

  • @nutherefurlong
    @nutherefurlong 8 месяцев назад

    I have it and still play it now and again. I'd have to play with the original setup to be sure but there might? be some tiny input lag that you often get with these sorts of things on digital screens. But this system has basically facilitated me finally finishing so many of these games after all these years. I wish I could swap some games out without fiddling with the internals but I'm really satisfied with it over all. I wish I had the SNES version :)

    • @Niosai
      @Niosai  8 месяцев назад +1

  • @TheWrathAbove
    @TheWrathAbove 11 месяцев назад

    I bought one of these for my Dad a while back, and having used it to play some Multiplayer with him it's pretty decent. In particular it's the best way for him to play romhacks since he wouldn't want to deal with an emulator, but with the injection programs it's really easy to slap the roms on there for him.
    Personally though, it doesn't really do anything for me that my modded 3DS and Wii don't, so I find it hard to justify buying one even with how cool they are.

    • @Niosai
      @Niosai  11 месяцев назад

      The software for modding these has become ridiculously easy to use, so I'd argue that that alone is a selling point for the less technically-inclined. Those with experience are probably better off doing something like modding their 3DS or Vita or other handheld, as is your case

    From what I can tell with what I saw on the NES classic compared to the original console is the noise channel on the NES classic is lower pitched and some of the colors are different to the original console played on a crt. I just tested Zelda 2 and on the real NES with just composite, in the houses, the red bricks are a more vibrant brighter red and the other bricks is a more pinkish/salmon color, as opposed to orange and a darker red on the NES classic.

    • @Niosai
      @Niosai  11 месяцев назад

      Interesting! Isn't the emulator now standard-use for Nintendo? I wonder if the Switch Classic version has the same differences/behavior or if they've updated the emulator to make it more accurate

    • @vintagegamer695
      @vintagegamer695 11 месяцев назад

      For the emulation used by Nintendo, I don't know. I just saw a video of Zelda 2 on the switch and I think it is more accurate to the original from what I saw, as far as the sound goes anyway. The coloring is still different from the original NES hardware.@@Niosai

    • @vintagegamer695
      @vintagegamer695 11 месяцев назад

      I recently tested the colors with a different hookup. When I had both the composite and RF signal plugged into the console, but didn't plug the other composites in the tv and put it on to channel 3, that salmon color in the houses of Zelda 2 was a bright saturated orange color@@Niosai

    I love my NES Classic. It's cute for display and is a great option for traveling with. I have a kit with uber-long HDMI and power cables that I use at hotels and other overnights.
    I'm new to your videos and am definitely enjoying your content. However, you desperately need some mic technique, possibly a windscreen/pop filter on your mic to avoid plosives (IE giant pops of bass on the letters B and P)
    I swear I'm not just being a knob here. Point your microphone at the corner of your mouth at a 45 degree and invest in a pop filter.
    But seriously, I mean this, great work! Well written, entertaining and just needs a little audio work.

They got most of these best on here but Mario Bros, Ice Climber, Balloon Fight, Donkey Kong Jr. could have easily been substituted for much better games. Pro wrestling, Tecmo Super Bowl instead of Tecmo Bowl. Contra instead of Super C. Super Dodge Ball, MLB, Dragon Warrior, Ice Hockey, Mega Man 3, Duck Tales and on and on. The system still has a very high replay value with the games offered. No Tetris Nintendo "You cannot be serious"

    You content creators keep talking about how it was released in 2016, and while this is technically true, hardly anyone bought any in 2016. They only sold 2 million units WORLDWIDE during the original release. It was basically a stealth drop. People were so outraged by the fact that they didn't announce them, and then stopped production before anyone could buy one (again, 2 million units WORLDWIDE, this is almost nothing), which is why they re-released them in 2018. This is when most of the American public (including you content creators) became widely aware of them, and when most of the American public (including you content creators) purchased your copies. So, just refer to the 2018 rerelease when talking about the unit, as referring to the 2016 release is slightly disingenuous.
