Does "leaving the NES on for days so you don't have to start over" count as a save state?

the first videogame i ever played was megaman3 on a rented nes.
not wanting to lose progress I left on the nes during the night as well as the tv, as I believed that the tv was part of the system somehow.

I played through it a few years back using save states only at the beginning of each level.
Still pretty damn tough.
Um....
Those poor electric bills. Beat it tonight! It got so frustrating at times. Especially Masked Devil.

The NES fully powered up uses significantly less power than any modern console's standby mode. It would barely register on any electricity bill.
That's not true... NES use ~10W, at least on par with any console even on connected standby (well, except maybe X360 that was apparently hungry in connected standby, but at ~15W)
24h of NES is nearly two months of Wii U in standby.

. First time I beat 1 and 2 were with save states. After beating battletoads for the first time I ended up revisiting the NG series and managed to go through each one without save states.sixteen-bit

I've never bought hardware from Nintendo before so I'm sure how their system works but mine is still showing as Processing with an Estimated Dispatch Date of the 27th January. when I go into the order it shows as Awaiting Stock Pick.Just bought one from store.nintendo.co.uk, due to be dispatched today.
EDIT:
Direct Link - Nintendo Classic Mini: Nintendo Entertainment System - £49.99 (Shows as Out of Stock now but I don't know if it's showing that way because of the "one per customer" limit that's in place.)
For people who have bought consoles from them previously, is this normal for Nintendo? They haven't even attempted top take payment from my PayPal account and it was Friday that I placed the order.
I would contact them but I don't want them to say that they've messed up and cancel the order or something.

Being almost foreign to doing this kind of stuff, I was able to do it just based on the link provided and YouTube.
I did run into one problem which was the driver part when trying to synch the games into the NES. I had to do the shift+restart on the computer since I'm on Windows 10 to turn off the driver signature setting.
After all that it was fine. I only added 4 games just for testing it out. Everything worked out fine.
And, there we go, that was bound to happen really. Just received an email to say that it's on it's now been dispatched and should be here "On or before 31st January".I've never bought hardware from Nintendo before so I'm sure how their system works but mine is still showing as Processing with an Estimated Dispatch Date of the 27th January. when I go into the order it shows as Awaiting Stock Pick.Just bought one from store.nintendo.co.uk, due to be dispatched today.

Really looking forward to this now, I've got everything set up and ready to go. 😊

so just got my gamestop bundle in the mail, the system and the wireless controller. The receipt shows 2 items, with different numbers, not a bundle purchase.
Since it is showing 2 separate items with 2 different order numbers, and the receipt shows nothing about unable to return separate items, do you think I would be able to return in store just the controller? if not, that is ok I guess

Thoughts on the 3rd party pad?
Played SMB 3 with it just a few minutes ago. It's not bad! D-pad is a little smaller and shaped slightly different, but, overall, it works well. The big bonus is that it's wireless, so I can sit back on my couch instead of sitting 3 feet away from the TV on the floor.
Played it for an entire Saturday in college and beat it on an NES console. Satisfying but exhausting. I have never played it again since.

You probably can but when you check out you'll likely find that your controller isn't worth quite the difference between the NES Classic and the bundle price. Basically, they value the NES Classic at more than $59.99 when you do this. But yes, it is an option.

Sorry if it's been mentioned, but anyone looking for another controller would be better off buying the superior Wii Classic Controller over some third party one.

I'm desperate to get one. Are there any online retailers in europe that sells it and ships to Canada?

I just bought the official nes classic controller off of ebay for $35 brand new. Obviously a big mark up, but I don't think it's absurd considering what controllers go for these days. With my luck there will be bunch of them available online for the MSRP of $9.99 in the next couple of days lol.
I'm secretly hoping someone gets SNES games running on this thing so I can use that controller to its fullest.

Yeah that's my concern that we'll never see a SNES mini. Bc of the sole purpose of this to drive attention to the Switch
Just got the last one at my area Target this morning. Brickseek said 4, so I thought why the hell not.
I walk to the electronics section and go to the Nintendo display, and a guy working back there goes "it's over here."
lol
He knew I was thirsty.
Any good cord extenders or wireless controller options?

Emio makes an arcade stick called the Edge. It's microswitched, which in my opinion would make it better than the rubber membranes of the original Advantage, but consequently it might feel unusual to you if you expect an Advantage-like experience. Try before you buy if you can.

Emio's Advantage clone is way better than I expected it would be, feels perfect wired and even over wiimote wireless, comes with both ball stick and bat stick toppers, and this cool little strategy guide for all the NES Classics games. Even the box is pretty:
I had thought there were issues with this controller? The main one that it didnt even work with the Classic (even though advertised it did).
Did they fix it?
Some of the reviews on Amazon mention the buttons are very loud when you press them. Is that true?
thanks for the suggestion btw!
This!, my 11 year old self completed it back in the day

Clicky buttons and stick. They don't really ring out, it's more of a tick-tick sound, and it gives good feedback.
