will they be valuable one day? i'm talkin like 1000 dollars a system. thinkin bout gettin one off ebay and keep it for a bout 20 years

 

[fugimax]

Ya, just look at Atari 2600's, they're worth TONS!

Maybe in 60-70 years..

Considering the NES has been emulated to high hell, I doubt it

the hardware is different from emulation...

But! I can download a Desktop Wallpaper of the Mona Lisa, or buy a poster of it at the mall. (Next to the Cinnabon.)

That doesn't mean the REAL Mona Lisa is anything less than priceless!

That being said, NES's will never be worth much money -- there's only one Mona Lisa, but there's a shitload of slowly-yellowing NES's. Probably.

Millions of NESs. Millions. I doubt they'll ever become a hot item way down the road.

I actually have a nes where there is NO region lock

One of the first bunch shipped.

NESes have chips in them? I thought Nintendo's "region encoding" was simply putting plastic notches in the insertion bays until the Gamecube

a Top Loader might be very valuable someday, but it has to be brand new

 

[Mr Nash]

If your great grand kids try to sell it, maybe. We need to wait for a lot more NES to be in landfills before their value goes up. Power Gloves, and ROB the Robot on the other hand could be worth a few bucks.

I really think Nintendo can make good money if they started producing the NES again.

Now that would be retro gaming i would jump into:
Buy the new NES with 2 controller and 10 classics game bundle. 99$

 

[LEBRON KING JAMES]

so the robot could be worth some money? i could get one of those with a nes and a duck hunt gun for 79$

Bleah...you can do that now for like $40 (for a toploader)

I call bullshit.

NES carts have 72 pins, Famicom carts hve 60.

 

[SiegfriedFM]

Anything that has sold 50+ millions will never be really rare. Well, maybe if you keep a pristine sealed copy until there are only 10 or so left in the world. But a regular, played, yellowing NES that needs a blowjob to get it to work every time... nah.

I think the best thing Nintendo can do for Revolution would have an "iTunes" setup for downloading games onto a HD... you can get like NES games for $5, SNES for $15, N64 for $20... including a Western version of Sin and Punishment, finally Buying the system gives you a $50 coupon to buy whatever games you want off "nTunes" or whatever

 

[jett]

No.

And the fuck is a toploader?
