LeatherRebel5150 | 1,135 Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 I haven’t seen it mentioned anywhere but Retrousb has their yearly 8bit Xmas cart available. It used to be a big thing every year but it seems like not as many people are as interested anymore. They still have the past 4yrs editions available which is weirs they always used to be moved to discontinued by January every year.

TrekMD | 1,504 Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 (edited) I've already ordered. Now waiting for NES-City to make the box available.

I don't see the page change and by this time they would have posted the box already. I may drop them a note to find out. 1 Link to comment https://www.videogamesage.com/forums/topic/9602-8-bit-xmas-2021/#findComment-250959 Share on other sites More sharing options...
drxandy | 3,324 Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 I know it's probably not possible but they don't do the custom text anymore do they? Obviously, its too late even if they did but worth a shot asking I guess.

Anyway for those that still might be interested in them https://www.retrousb.com/product_info.php?cPath=30&products_id=167 I lost interest in them in like 2014 or 2015. The last one I bought was 2017 because of the label and having multiple games on it. I just feel like the games have gotten progressively weak and I totally get that the novelty is really just the blinky lights but that's not enough for me to spend $50 on them anymore. With that said, I still think they're cool and will pick one up off eBay if I can score it cheap.

The Dr Mario clone was good enough as well. Idk how I feel about this years tho.

JamesRobot | 6,268 Events Team · Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 2016 and 2018 are my favorites. Pinball and SkiFree. 2018 is better than SkiFree though.

LeatherRebel5150 | 1,135 Posted December 5, 2021 Author Share Posted December 5, 2021 So I played it foe a little bit. Its a bit underwhelming. What does drive me a little nuts is the music speeds up and slows down. I haven’t quite figured out how/why. It doesn’t speed up when i use boost but maybe if every racer speeds up it does it? Annoying either way 2 Link to comment https://www.videogamesage.com/forums/topic/9602-8-bit-xmas-2021/#findComment-252071 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nintendo Workshop | 38 Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 Kids seem to like it. 1 track seems to take awhile. Haven’t tried 4 player yet. you can play crappy the entire game and win last second. Unless you go by score.
