The Video Game Thread - anything and everything...

I once saw a Coleco Vision at Goodwill. Called my friend and he came and bought it right then. We found out that a Sega Genesis controller not only fit, but worked better than the game stick it came with.
 
Pick up a mini classics Nintendo at Target today. Had to stand in line for a little over an hour. Lucky timing on my part. They only received 3 and I was the 3rd one in line.

You suck lol. Amazon dropped the ball and literally sold them out of people's carts as they were checking out. Now the page for the system is a 500 internal error with reviews down to 2 stars even as they try and purge the bad reviews. This is going to hurt Nintendo in the long run doing a fake shortage.

Now they are trying to delete bad reviews, too?

Why? not their fault. it's nintendo for screwing up.
 
It's not a fake shortage. Nintendo's already said that they're going to keep pushing stock through xmas and the new year. Just have a little patience.

Not everything is a conspiracy.

and sometimes it is :).

I kind of like the idea that this is their black friday stunt. it's free publicity and suddenly on black friday stores will be stocked.

If that's the case, it'll backfire on them because now lots of people are pissed ;).
 
Some people are upset, yes. But they're mostly just man children and they still want them so no, if it's a conspiracy it won't backfire.

And if you're manufacturing a shortage intentionally you don't announce that there's going to be a steady stream of stock.

I ran into a Nintendo Rep at Toys r us and I ask her about the shortage. She said the demand totally blindsided them. She did also say that they are working to meet demand.

I love that people are starting to realize that old games still have value.

Imagine if we couldn't watch movies made in the 80's because they wouldn't work on modern technology?

No Star Wars......ARRRRHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
I don't love people realizing it, i like getting the games for next to nothing for my collection lol. Now these people are going to want top dollar for everything. It's bad enough that Earthbound is 100.00 just for the cartridge.

When I say people, I mean the companies.

It's especially true of computer games, but for a long time, you couldn't play old games. But now they're remastering HD versions of things like monkey island and grim fandango.

And thanks to this I can burn through smb 2 on the perfect controller

What? I don't have any games that I still can't play. You can use DosBox to play just about any DOS games.
 
I'm kinda hoping that at some point my raspberry pi can run dosbox or something like it. Well i'm restarting fallout 4 just to get that damned nuka world trophy, i had given up on it but i can't leave my progress at 99 percent.
 
I don't know if that will work for non FB users, but just wanted to leave this here haha
