I apologize for the alternative facts. I just wanted to fill this thread back up with the vimm and vigor it deserves.No way, fake news!!! Cause the expert analysts here on CAG swore Nintendo would keep supplying the NES Classic until stores are flooded with them.
I know the feels, I sold gravity rush remastered for $20 before I found out it went out of print.Seriously? I just sold mine on Craigslist for $85 a few days ago. Oh well lol
I bet they're sick of making this device with little profit margin and insane demand ...a demand that apparently exceeds the demand for the switch.I bet there will be a new version really soon that either greatly reduces the storage from its already meager but excessive size or some other fix that prevents people from hacking and putting 700 games on it. That is really the only reason I got mine.
Technically the stand alone box is rare not the controller.The real rarity is the controller. From a collecting standpoint, new in box, that should be going for $200 alone based on how rare they seem to be, but aren't.
It's still there and being updated.Is it just me or is the google doc dead? I'd really like to pick one of these up before they are all gone. CL has them at $100-$120 around me but at that price I'd rather just keep using my raspberry pi or buy them on the switch VC when it opens up.
For real. I've had a dozen chances to score a NES classic but I haven't seen heads or tails of the official Nintendo NES controller since Target and Walmart pre-orders.The real rarity is the controller. From a collecting standpoint, new in box, that should be going for $200 alone based on how rare they seem to be, but aren't.
the official nintendo one - pretty rareThe real rarity is the controller. From a collecting standpoint, new in box, that should be going for $200 alone based on how rare they seem to be, but aren't.
The most difficult part is getting the roms, and that takes all of a few minutes if you know where to look. There's video's on YT that walk you step for step through the process, and the hack is a self contained program that does everything for you, except acquiring the roms.How hard exactly are these to hack? I know next to nothing about software and moving files around, but I'd rather take steps to avoid tempting myself to resell my unopened one.
I'm getting this message when I click the link on the front page. "Sorry, the file you have requested has been deleted.It's still there and being updated.
Must be a old link the newest one is always in my signature, it can change sometimes due to a certain banned CAG and GS corporate snooping.I'm getting this message when I click the link on the front page. "Sorry, the file you have requested has been deleted.
Make sure that you have the correct URL and the owner of the file hasn't deleted it."
Surprisingly easy. I was worried about messing mine up but wow it was not hard at all. I'm confident my 11 year old could have done it while I read her the directions.How hard exactly are these to hack?

Thanks! Sadly closest one for me that might have it in stock is 135 miles away which is a no go. oh well who knows maybe a shipment will turn up at walmart or something.Must be a old link the newest one is always in my signature, it can change sometimes due to a certain banned CAG and GS corporate snooping.

At that point just build a raspberry piWell if anyone really want's this, the Famicom version is on Amazon from many sellers for under 100 shipped(maybe cheaper elsewhere). While I don't think this was worth it at $60, with the mod, I will confirm it's a solid buy at $100. I'm not sure if you can change the Japanese language in the select menus, but you can mod it just like the NES, and put any region games on it, so this could be an option for some.
Aren't the controllers on those smaller and hard wired to the system?Well if anyone really want's this, the Famicom version is on Amazon from many sellers for under 100 shipped(maybe cheaper elsewhere).

I agree there are much better & cheaper options, but $100 is a heluva lot better than $200+ for pretty much the same device. There is obviously a crowd willing to give "N" their first born and then some, so I'm just giving possible options.At that point just build a raspberry pi
Honestly, I don't know, but they may be, as the original Famicom was that way, so stands to reason the mini would be similar.Aren't the controllers on those smaller and hard wired to the system?
Looks like they are still holding out on some.Yes!!!!! Just picked up a NES classic from the Panorama City, CA Gamestop. I called first and they said they had one but would not hold it. Drove over there in about 15 mins and got the one behind the counter. Thanks for the list Blackbeard4886. I had already been out to this mall last week when the Walmart was showing they had two in stock (which they still show they do but it was open box returns they can't sell).
Has to be an employee holding it to buy at end of shift.Looks like they are still holding out on some.
Yes, they are "discounting" them to free. Just don't tell people on ebay.Eurogamer is reporting Nintendo is discounting the NES Classic.
I just don't get Nintendo.
Lmao.About as hard as using the correct form of sell/sale.
Im personally glad if they canned it, or at least decided to revise it to stop the people from selling hacked systems at a large profit.ha ha ha. "So what if people hack it? Nintendo doesn't care as long as they're moving units!"
Nintendo prizes the integrity of their IP more than anyone else in the world. I would bet dollars that the hack had a lot to do with it. Two months ago, Kimishima* said they'd be ramping up production. Now all of a sudden they've discontinued it.

I hacked mine lastnight . It took like a half hour. Super easy. A CAG directed me to look up syndrome208's video on youtube. Select the most recent hackchi tutorial and there is a download with program and games in the comments. Super easy. Super worth it.How hard exactly are these to hack?

Yeah, I was very impressed with the final product. While I had no interest in it, I must say I did play some games, maybe more than my son, as they look so damn good in HD.I hacked mine lastnight .

I Looked for the videos and they were all 20-30 minutes long and seemed daunting so i could not do it and since im no tech guru I'm afraid I'll brick my nes mini.I hacked mine lastnight .

I've soldered systems in the past, and once you've done that, most things are easy. I've also changed DS & PSP cases as well, so while I'm no expert, I do have expericane in taking things apart, and modding to certain degrees.I Looked for the videos and they were all 20-30 minutes long and seemed daunting so i could not do it and since im no tech guru I'm afraid I'll brick my nes mini.
