There are plenty of SNES games that don't use expansion chips. Or they could simply emulate those as well.

This really isn't that impressive. Look at the specs. Doesn't even use the real processors, it couldn't even use a variation? If the patent is up, why not go the whole way. If the system is inaccurate enough that things need to be EMULATED then it isn't worth my money, thats why I download free EMULATORS for a computer.

I would assume the patent on the SPC700 chip is up too, and considering a quick google search makes it entirely possible to still obtain this part reasonably, even a clone that reproduces its instruction set wouldn't be THAT hard for them to do. I don't know ;\ I'm just not really feeling this one. I'll stick to my own console clone projects and leave these for the masses who don't know any better.

And not even Super Mario Kart would run.

Do you all forget all those additional chips in NES and SNES games?

And a SNES-Emu for DS exists allready.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEBAY. They sell the 72-pin connectors for $5.00. Got any spare NES's you want to sell? New connectors jack up resale value.

Yeah, and it's not even PAL compatible and has those SFC lockout tabs. WTF? It's neat, but it could have been a lot better. NES controller support would be piss-easy, you can even wire SNES controllers to an NES or vice-versa. And for being made in 2006, the inability to load games off an SD card is disappointing. (OK, maybe I'm asking too much. )

Loading SNES games off an SD card (or better yet a USB flash drive) would make me want it.

I have a few NES, and a SNES, I really don't have a reason to get this.


Is there such thing that can do that? That'd absolutely rock.

They should've just called it "Super Twintendo".
But nevertheless it looks fabulous. I wouldn't buy one though.

Yikes.

Maybe you can still find an official top loading NES somewhere. Last time I went into a Vintage Stock they were teh cheap.

I replaced my oldschool NES as soon as they came out and have been thankful for it ever since.

I'm so buying one of these since my NES has suffered the fatal pink screen. Hopefully it can last longer then my NES.

Flea markets are a good source, also. A lot of times there are vendors who don't sell at such things full time but only do it once in a while to get rid of things.

You can get games and action figures and whatnot for nice prices this way a lot of the time.

Garage/yard sales are usually worth spending 5-10 minutes in driving and browsing as well.

ONES WHO DOES NOT HAVE TRIFORCE FREQUENT THRIFT STORES CAN'T GO IN.

Seriously, you have no idea how many NES and SNES games I've acquired through them. But that all depends on donations.

I think they went under, just a hunch.

We had a Game X Change starting up a new store around here, but they only lasted for about a year or so. Probably because it was located between Target and Best Buy, with a Gamestop down the street. That and the employee's were terrible.

That's where I got my FC NES, but oh well.

Sadly, I missed their huge "going under" sale.

Wow. I'd never heard of this before, but it looks really cool. I might actually consider getting one. I just have to figure out if I have $50 lying around that I have nothing better to do with.
