Waited in line at 6:30am this morning and got it before heading into work. Better be worth it! I also ordered a wireless controller, should be here next week.

Anyone else excited for this?

By the time you purchase a Raspberry Pi and the accessories required to hook it up to your TV and load games from external storage, you will have spent as much or more than the NES Classic costs, and it will have taken up more of your time and energy than playing NES games is ultimately worth.

Not to mention that downloading NES ROMs and playing them on an NES emulator is, you know, illegal. I know a lot of people don't care about that, but there it is. Nintendo is very clear about it: https://www.nintendo.com/corp/legal.jsp

I'd be willing to bet that an equivalent Pi setup would consume more power than the NES Classic as well, but that's just a hunch, and I could be wrong.

Point being there are valid points of differentiation from ye olde college student's first emulator kit, and there's a real market for this device.

yeah don't know why people are buying this.

I'll sell you hacked orginal xboxes with every SNES and NES game on it. Plus you can screen save and load game genie codes.

Man nobody wants your old janky gigantic-ass stupid Xbox sitting on their entertainment center. They want a cute little mini-NES.

They don't want your ol' bullshit 10,000 games no one could possibly give a shit about. They want 30 games they remember playing. Who on any Earth in any universe could possibly want to turn on the TV and browse through some fuckin' file browser on their TV of seventy fuckin' unlicensed European games starring an egg who plays cricket? Who's beating a path to your door for Golgo 13?

Nobody's fuckin' with no goddamn Game Genie code. Y'all don't understand how little patience people have for nerd bullshit.

That's the core thing, man. Not only is your jury-rigged emulator kit dumb and not easy and not fun, cats also gotta post up LOL EMULATURRRRRRRRRRRZ JUST DO [X, Y, Z LAME NERD SHIT] FOR SEVENTY FIVE CENTS AND IT'S JUST AS GOOD, and that shit isn't true, fuck you, seriously.

I guess this is a third party controller? How close is it to the original?

I still have my original NES and 40ish games that still work. Don't see the point in buying this between that and emulators.

I got to one of the Game Stops prior to them opening on 11/11 and apparently the mgr had gone through and given everyone in line tickets to get one. Now everybody is sold out because assholes lined up to get them to sell on eBay.

I bought two of these at Bestbuy opening day. Put one up on ebay that afternoon with buy it now of $395. Somebody bought it two hours later. So Insane somebody would buy at that price- I at first thought maybe I had screwed up and could have gotten like 500-600 since it sold so quick, but it looks like the price has leveled off around the $180 range.

Still Cray though.

I didn't think I would be able to sell it for 400, thought it might get bid up to 150 or something and just pay for the one i kept.

But people were clamoring for these things, especially opening weekend. I think I sold at the height of the market though. which was the day of the release. Been down hill ever since.

^^Your best bet is to do what Fhqwhgads did and refresh the page for the item on Walmart.com every day around 5 PM EST. eBay prices are going to inflated until well after Christmas, barring some massive shipment increase nationwide.
