OptOut

Literally no reason to use any N64 controller other than the original, unless it's super worn down.

I'm in.

Wowie Zowie!

Hello game! I like N64 and XBOX game! Welcome game!

Yeah, well I've put my order in anyway, I think it's a decent purchase long-term, just to keep my NES/FC needs fulfilled for the foreseeable future. Certainly, at the very least, I know if they sold out and said yeah we're done, then I'd be kicking myself for NOT buying one. And, as I said, in this day and age 209 bucks plus shipping is practically a steal for a quality aftermarket solution for NES gaming, so I'm happy to lay out for it.

Okay, so I have weighed up the options and decided that the AVS is worth trying out, even if it isn't fully compatible with all the PAL NES games. From the reports I have seen it won't play all the PAL games flawlessly, but as long as it works well enough with the bulk of the games I own, it should suit my needs. It's cheap enough to take the risk on it, IMO, and if I wait too long it may disappear again, so I might as well take the plunge. Besides, if it ends up not being able to play EVERYTHING I want, then I will probably simply invest in a flash-cart to play the rest.

There was a recent leak from Microsoft about the next revision of the XBOX Series going completely digital in both the X and S versions. Apparently it was an old source, and they quickly denied that was going to be the case, but it's definitely coming sooner or later... It's very possible the next generation of XBOX and the PS6 launch with no disc options at all.

True enough, there's also the technical aspect to consider, as these FPGA systems are very complex and so it must have taken many years to develop each of these cores in turn. Obviously, as the systems they emulate get more powerful and complex, they also get more difficult to develop, and thus take longer to produce. However, as someone who chose not to buy an NT mini due to the expense, I would definitely be in the market for a cheaper, slimmed down offering of the same system. Make it out of plastic and take out the DAC, and shave a hundred or so bucks off the price, I am sure they would find a hungry new market for that product.

An interesting assertion. I do have a fair few Famicom games, indeed, although I don't own a disk system. However, the website for the AVS claims full compatibility with famicom carts, and only partial compatibility with PAL games. The reason I am concerned about PAL games is because ALL my NES cartridges are PAL, I don't own any US carts. So, if I would have problems playing my games I would rather not purchase this system.

Bring it bitch.

Well, that's all well and good, but I'm afraid I AM offended by what you said, and if you want to remain friends I demand a full apology and some cash compensation for emotional distress caused.

Lol, did I actually offend you with my little puke emoji?! If so I apologise! I have a hard time getting genuinely worked up over other people's opinions on videogames, so sometimes I'm not sure if I've crossed the line with any of my hyperbolic shit-talking!

I mean, I'm mostly taking the piss, but there are systems I just don't care for at all, mainly all the Playstations and Saturn. I have no ill-will towards the people who do enjoy them, and on a rational level I realise there are great games and experiences on these systems. But, there is no room for them in my collection, my life, or my heart, and I'm cool with that.

The REAL question here is who keeps grading anything.

Yeah, this is a good game! I'm in the same boat as @Webhead123 in that I have played through about half the levels and put a few hours into it, but I haven't gone back to properly finish it off yet. But, what I have played was really fun, and the graphics are absolutely gorgeously gory, it's definitely a game I am going to swing back around to and finish at some point, if I can!

What's the difference between this one and the Wii one? As a Sonic fan I would like to try this out at some point, but no way I'm actually playing a... yegh... Saturn.

What did you think I lived on while I was studying abroad in California?

Nuh-uh! In fact, this is one of the few known photos of the reclusive wizard... Local law enforcement was called in for a wellness check, following complaints from neighbours about the stench of death (and inexplicable ribiting) emanating from his apartment. This photo was unfortunately taken moments after waking the wizard from the MOTHER of all hangovers, and moments before the entire SWAT team had their genitals transformed into a veritable MENAGERIE of semi-aquatic vertebrates.

Oh, and in case anyone was wondering, I have managed to track down a file-photo of the wizard behind these evil misdeeds:
