new NES

Yeah, I've been reading through that as time allows.  It's a very in depth, nonsales related discussion.

Chad get one of these and tell me how it actually plays. I'd trust you more than this guy in the first place.

Don't have a spare $70, unfortunately... not with Xmas coming up and the oil tank needing to be filled for winter.

I have one. Got it fairly recently and haven't had much time to play with it. The only thing I could say was disapointing about it (in the limited amount of time I tried it) is that some of the sounds are not quite right. I have known no famiclone to get the sound right, though the official NES toploader does (now if only it had built in composite...)

I just picked up one for $60 at VGXPO in Philly.

Still sealed as I haven't had time to try it.
 
I ended up recreating most of my  old game collection though  searching through  the bargain bins at the expo though!

I'll try it this weekend if I have time to set it up.

I don't see the friggin point here. Some games DO NOT work. The sound on most games is off. Why in the hell would anyone buy this thing? Half of the fun of "retro" gaming is re-living the experience of the original games. Sound is a HUGE part of this.

You can find original nintendos for like $20. Besides the "cool look" tell me one reason that you want this. Wireless controllers? Wow. Last time I checked my couch wasn't 40 feet from my tv.

You can find original Nintendos for $5 all the time.

Of course, it will take you 50 tries to find one that's not all blinky.

4 colors per sprite, and for character blocks (for background graphics).

I forget what the total palette was. Atari's displaying of "all colors at once" was a hack and only really displays them in bars. (Raster interrupt effect. Was used alot on the C64 too).

Check out Keystone Capers or Planet Patrol.  Bars define the regions, but not the graphics.  Display list interrupts could be used to great effect. 

For the remade NES I like this quote: "Who wouldn't want to have Contra with better graphics, stereo sound and vibration?" 

Errr, me.     (Well I never liked contra anyway...)
