Cons: got to kick box it to get it to work.

All right if there is one thing I can’t stand is young kids today running down the NES. Yes your PS2’s and your Xbox’s may be more powerful and run all those fancy movie scenes and realistic graphics, something that the NES doesn’t but if it wasn’t for ...

Pros: Fun factor, games.
Cons: Age, hardware, more buttons on the controller might be nice.

So this is my review on the Nintendo NES, the system that has stood the test of time, led the industry for video games, and... collected dust. Anyway, I got mine at a yard sale for $2.50 w/ Tetris 2 for SNES. (NES was basically $2.) $2?! Yes. It was ...

Pros: The Nes2 not only looks cool but it plays well too.
Cons: It's a shame the video outlets are gone.

Pros: Good system with classic games
Cons: Had to blow on games and console when not working

I probably received this as a gift in the early nineties, but I still play it. I believe that a lot more went into this console as far as games strategy, game plot, game characters and game skill. The only thing that was bad about it was that when the ...

Pros: Accessories, Some of the Best Games Ever, Classic
Cons: Controller, Blowing Into The Console, Not Being Manufactured Anymore

Cons: Sometimes you need to wrestle with the games to get them to play.

Pros: It is a classic for anyone and the games are fun as hell.
Cons: Hard to clean over the years.

Nintendo was the first really popular video game system marketed in America. It was way better than Intelivision and the graphics actualy resembled things other than brightly colored box like objects. Nintendo also was one of the first game consoles to feature 2 player games, but no THE first. It was easier to clean, maintain and was presented in a sleek style, and even later was introduced in new fashions. One of these new fashions was the first top loading game console ever. It resembled an older Nintendo 64. All of the games for Nintendo NES are classics and not to be thought low of. It is in my opinion the greatest game system ever. The games for it a fun and way back then I think that the game programmers really cared about the fun of a game and a plot, not just the special effects which is certainly what they do now and days.

Pros: Everything
Cons: RF adaptors suck IMO, connectors wear out

It may be old and the graphics/sound may be dated, but I still use it alot. I love that every game is very different yet very fun for this system. I've played Super Mario Brothers a ton... It's still fun even though I finally beat it. The multi-player cames rock on this system too. My favorite being Bubble Bobble and super ninja turtles. Both allow both players to play at the same time and are very fun.

The console & games are very cheap right now. Buy it while you still have a chance to own a piece of history.

Pros: its a legendnary game system and fun to play
Cons: it is hard to find now days outdated graphics

Pros: Classic innovator of present systems. Memorable games. Educational.
Cons: Sadly surpassed and harder to come by then Super Nintendo.

This system will always be an classic. Truth be told if you have one keep it and if you don't it's time to find one. It's not too hard to find. I've come across a few for about $50 in working condition at my local Game Crazys located inside various Hollywood Videos. The games are fond memories of old times. Not to mention your kids can still enjoy the educational aspect of this system. Some games include Sesame Street and Fisher Price kids. Not as hi-tech as now but a unforgetable classic.
