How Many of You Actually Own a NES?

[isturbo1984]

I was wondering how many gamers out there actually own an original NES console somewhere in their house or apartment. And no, the NES Classic does not count. Most of us had one at some point in time. My story is, like a fool, I gave it away to a younger family member shortly after I received my SNES.

Yeah I still have the PAL NES I bought from a school friend in the 90's (I already had a SNES but he said he sells it and I said GIB!, with 2 pads, Darkwing Duck and some other games, hell yeah), it has the usual problems but still works. Nowadays though I play most NES and Famicom games on a Retron 5, I'll never get rid of my old consoles though.

Looks like just what the doctor ordered.

Now that I am able to see this thread again... Would this help you?

True, I would have loved to own an Analogue Nt Mini to get HDMI output for my NES cartridges.

That's probably a problem for a lot of 1st and 2nd generation console owners.

I have a NES and a NES Classic Mini. Sadly, my TV doesn't have support composite signals so I can't play the physical games that I own.

I have one, i dont think its ever been opened so i dont actually know if its real or something else.
I might open the box to see whats inside but i dont want to, im going to keep it and use it as a family heirloom and hopefully pass it down for several generations. When someone does open it there might be a nes inside or something else.

I voted "no" to be perfectly accurate, but I do have a Twin Famicom, so sort of?

I cannot actually mention if mine works, I am gutting it out and pitting a pi 3B+

I have one that I picked up years ago. My original toaster oven NES that I had as a kid went missing somehow. I wish I knew where it was.

I have one and about a dozen games for it.

[aileron]

Never had one when it came out. Bought one and some games when it was a couple generations old and cheap to buy. Didn't play it too much. Sold it for even less or gave it away. Now it's a collector's item. Summary: f ing dumb.

I've got one, still. AND in (mostly) working order, I might add!

I never owned one, my first console was a Sega Mega Drive, but I *kinda* played NES games as a kid on a friend's NASA, the chinese clone with a million games inside. Actually, I played with a NES for the first time in around 2002, never knew anybody close to me that had one, we were all Sega kids over here.
