I wish all of the major game companies would re-manufacture and sell all of the old platform and games again. I would buy a brand-new unopened NES system box and all of the games, as with the Super NES, PlayStation, and N64. Sure, you can still buy all of the old systems and games, but it is very hard to find brand new un-opened stuff, and the un-opened stuff is a lot of money. Most of us have traded in or sold our stuff throughout the years, possibly with some regret. I know I have some regrets getting rid of my stuff.

But imagine today, if you could walk into a Walmart, and see a whole section of NES games, brand new, with brand new NES boxes on the bottom of the cabinet. Tell me you wouldn't feel that joyful nostalgia overwhelm you righ tthere and then.

Since I don't own any games and game systems right now, I would buy all of the old stuff all over again. In fact, I would by 2 of each. One to play with, and the other to keep for collection purposes.

If only for nostalgia purposes, I suppose. However, I still know of an NES that still works, albeit the pins are warped. It belongs to, I believe, my uncle and resides in my grandparents' house.

You know what? Scratch the nostalgia purposes line! Nintendo and Sega should remake their classic consoles, even if they add a slightly modern twist, a la Atari "remaking" the 2600.

I feel nostalgic for the NES but next month I plan to buy an NES with only the heavy hitter titles, SNES and N64 were great systems but the NES is what made me a gamer. People sell their NES' on eBay all the time, that's where I'm getting mine.

They even have NES' for sale unopened for sale around $350...

I don't even remember about the NES, but wasn't the SNES restricted to feeding an analog signal into a coaxial antenna cable in terms of video output? To make this viable, in other words, you'd also need to sell old TV sets that are otherwise useless in the DVB age...

Check out the Deluxe Set, almost $430! For that amount of money, you can buy either an Xbox One or a Playstation 4...

Well that is the main reason why I wish they'd re-market all of the old stuff, because:

A. I like brand-new stuff, complete with box, packaging and manuals
B. I don't want to pay four or five-hundred dollars for a brand-new item

At least if they re-marketed all of the old stuff, you could buy it much cheaper, and it would be brand new. It would be great for anybody who regretted trading their things in over the years, or simply want another chance at collecting all of the good stuff that made gaming great.

I'd buy a brand new NES and Super NES with all of my favorite titles, no problem. I would feel like a kid in a candy shop! Going into Walmart, and seeing a whole cabinet with the old Nintendo logo on the top, with all of the cardboard-boxed NES titles!
