A Look back at the NES Classic Edition After 5 Years
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 вер 2024
- 5 years ago, Nintendo released the NES Classic Edition and it jump started the mini console boom. So I figured now was a good time to take a look back at the system, and see if it's worth using in 2021. From the hype, and the shortages, to the games and how they play, The NES Classic Edition had many highs and lows in it's 5 year life so far.
Let me know down in the comments, what your favorite game is from the NES Classic Edition!

I still have mine and still play it. I definitely feel like it was worth getting for me. I got 2 of them one to keep sealed the other to enjoy
I wanted one so bad but they were unavailable. So I went online for alternatives and found the raspberry pi. If Nintendo hadn't done their whole forced scarcity FOMO shtick I wouldn't have found out about it.
you can make a gameboy with a pi they sell a kit on amazon.
I couldnt get my hands on one as i realized they were a thing after it initially released and the prices were a scam but it does look cool and is was a unique idea
That sucks. I don't know what prices are like these days, but if you do go looking for one, just be careful with all the knock-off consoles.
Just found one for 99¢ at my Thrift. I scored luckily ahha
@@dezd3111 you did a hell lot better than me man! My brother in law was strapped for cash and got mine for $20!
Same bro I found out these were a thing this year
Just get a Nespi 4 case.
I found one at a garage sale in my neighborhood. The first and only game I've played so far was Kirby's Adventure, which I really looked forward to as a kid. I've also found a Doctor Strange blu-ray at the same place.
Nice! Great choice of first game!
I’m happy I got mine along with the snes and sega mini as well.
Nice! There's so great games to be played on all thoses systems!
*I love my unit! It was a fantastic idea Nintendo did this!* ⭐️
Man it’s a shame this thing gave Earthbound Beginnings the boot
I modded mine successfully and I'm just plain bad with these sort of things so it really isn't a daunting task. I kept all the internal storage space and didn't anything extra and squeezed out ~100 NES games as well as my favorite GB, GBA, genesis, SNES, and even arcade games on this little guy. Still works strong and I even have a pair of still boxed official controllers to whip out should my original set fail some day. Really glad my kids get to experience the classics in a pretty impressive and easy to understand form factor.
It's an incredible system, a proper NES controller replica, 30 amazing games. Remember I couldn't get one initially and ended up paying £140 from a scalper (ouch!). No regrets though as I'll play it forever. I bought a second one when it was rereleased which I've kept complete in its box
The nes rocks
I luckily got one from my brother in law for 20 bucks! I want the snes, genesis and turbografx 16 mini to complete my childhood collection! Since the price tag is so steep on these I'm really considering going the retropie route and get a all in 1 quality console with controllers!
I was better to have a long hdmi cable to bring the console closer to get the reset button
I was 37 when I bought this,I actually bought 2 of them. I’m 43 now and i still play.😎
Another plus is that adding more games to this (and the SNES mini) is so easy and streamlined.
Interesting topic! I love my mini consoles (SNES, Genesis and TurboGrafx), and the Amiga 500 mini is being released next week - so the mini-console trend Nintendo started is still alive and well.
Nintendo didn't Start it, you could get a mini @ games genesis that works with real cartridges years before this released.
@@benreay6698 yes, you're right. None of those really had the same impact as the NES classic though, so perhaps i should have said that Nintendo popularised the trend rather than starting it.
@@gregorys9629 I wouldn't say that either tho. In fact a million of these existed until Nintendo took a loss on it, which while great for them because they didn't make a whole lot of units to begin with, pretty much killed the market. Why do you think there still isn't a PS2 model?
(Edit: readability)
@@benreay6698 I think the lack of a ps2 mini is a combination of the underwhelming ps1 mini and the difficulty / costs of accurately emulating 3d games (which seems to be why we're getting a Genesis mini 2 instead of a Saturn / Dreamcast mini). I would still say Nintendo popularised the mini consoles generally (even if they weren't interested in making them long term), but I understand where you're coming from!
@@gregorys9629 At the risk of sounding stupid, why do you need emulation at all? Doesn't Sony have access to the schematics for Playstation 2? Why can't they just... Make a mini PS2? Maybe R&D costs would be too high though or something, I just don't understand why everyone gets caught up at emulation, like you can't buy a raspberry pi and put in in whatever box you want. and I'm sorry man, but a single imitator is not a 'trend'.
I can't believe it's been 5 years. Great Work!
Thanks! I really appreciate it!
I got one, I ended up getting a wire less controller for it and I still use it today
Nice! I considered looking into a wireless controller but with the extensions, I didn't really feel the need.
Dont forget the slight frame rate slowdown
Don’t have that issue
Decent video, however, hearing that short guitar riff repeating for 10 minutes really pulled away from the enjoyment of the video itself.
Really? That's an interesting critique. I'll definitely keep that in mind for future videos.
Since this video came out, I've basically always used the same music, but I've lowered the volume to help make it noticeable only during gaps in my voice to fill any potential voids. I'm definitely interested in critiques like this though, I'm always looking for ways to improve the experience for the viewer.
Would you prefer music in certain moments, full songs instead of a singular riff, a variety of songs or riffs, or any other suggestions?
If I'm able to implement changes right away remains to be seen, but I'll take everything into consideration.
@@JaysConsoleCorner meh, could just be my mood. IDK there are many other videos that have repeating tunes, that I don't mind at all. I could just be overly sensitive right now, I'm having a terrible day. Nevermind my comments. I'm sure your video is fine.
Well that sucks. Hopefully your day gets better and it's nothing too serious. Hopefully tomorrow ends up being a good one for you.
Maybe in a couple of days you can give my channel another try and see if the music still bothers you or not, when you're in a different headspace. It would be really appreciated it. If not, all good. It's still an valid critique for me to take into consideration.
I enjoy mine as well.
Great video! What recording device or software are you using to record gameplay? Looks so good!
Thanks so much! I really appreciate the kind words!
I'm using an Elgato HD60s through Streamlabs. I'm not the most technically savvy person on the planet, it took me quite a lot of trial and error to figure out the best settings within streamlabs.
I can hardly believe this was back in 2016. It feels like it was only a couple years ago.
I played mine today. Still enjoy it. 👌
Right?! It always catches me off guard when I think about how long ago it was.
Glad you're still enjoying it!
I still have mine. I loved it but haven't played it. cool game to play with friends
Your right it’s just not the same when you play it by yourself
I added a bunch of ROMS to my (official) NES Classic Edition a couple years ago. However, I noticed lately that it shuts down in the middle of me trying to play it. Sometimes it shuts down after around 30 minutes and sometimes it shuts down after around only 3 minutes. This absolutely sucks. Has anyone else run into this annoying problem. Does anyone know why this keeps happening? Does anyone know how to fix this issue?? Thanks.
Just picked one up on eBay for $60
Nice, have fun!
Only 59 bucks how can you go wrong . I got the 2018 rerelease and they sold out just as quick and getting a spare controller was impossible. I was lucky to grab 4 extra from Walmart and 2 3rd party wireless to have if the original breaks . I love it and maybe one day I’ll have a friend download the entire nes library on to mine . Should of had original contra and superC not just super C
Your voice seems to only come from the left channel.
Sorry, I'm not very technically savvy. I'm not sure what that means. Please elaborate if possible.
@@JaysConsoleCorner I only hear you in my left ear.
Ok. I'll be honest, I have no idea how to solve that. I assume you don't have that issue with videos from other channels, but this is also the first time I've heard about this issue. So I don't know where the issue is. I don't see a setting anywhere to change from Mono to Stereo or anything like that.
If it's the way I record my audio, then I don't think I can do much about it. I record my audio through my phone, basically using it as if it's on speaker phone through the free Inshot app (where I edit the entire video, it's all done on my phone). I don't have any proper recording equipment. If you, or anyone else who reads this, have a solution then I'm all for it.
I’ve gone to my grandpas house but he has the snes classic
i have one NES mini actually but its only purely nostagia if you thinking very well and buy this console is just like a little toy you put on your TV for decoration set and that's it if really thinking good about that 5 year ago yes the fever have this console was very crazy everyone want a mini NES and they was sold out everywhere after couple years the fever for this console is probably done now i get one of this after the fever mini console was done and now after 5 year i dont think it was a great idea buy it if you really want play retro games better buying original NES console original , AC adapter , original RF switch , origial AV cable , 2 official NES controllers with OEM zapper light gun with Super Mario Bros./Duck Hunt game pak and the 30 NES classics games on game paks with CRT TV of course more enjoyable to play retro games i love your video buddy
"if you really want play retro games better buying original NES console original , AC adapter , original RF switch , origial AV cable , 2 official NES controllers with OEM zapper light gun with Super Mario Bros./Duck Hunt game pak and the 30 NES classics games on game paks with CRT TV" - except MANY people (like me) don't have the money or the space for OG analogue gear, and this wasn't marketed towards 'retro purists'....this thing (especially after you've hacked it) is a GREAT way to play thousands of games (from multiple consoles like the NES, SNES, TG16, Megadrive/Genesis, etc). It's not just a decoration for me, i use it all the time (i don't have a Raspberry Pi, nor do i need one, with this and MAME on my desktop PC)....this might be the best $70 i spent in the last decade (i've gotten so many hours of entertainment from it).
I mean, i prefer OG gear (like i used to have, being a 45 year old gamer)...but that's just not a possibility for me, and for MANY retro enthusiasts out there.
I had hard time getting nes classic first time around until it came out again i got it same day i had no troubles getting Snes classic
Glad you were able to get one!
im pretty sure there was a japanese exclusive as the nes was different in japan and is red and white
I believe you are correct, I just don't know much about the Famicom Mini, so I didn't mention it.
Poor choice of games, short cord and high price is the reason I wouldn’t recommend this and that’s why I buy knockoffs because they offer better selection for dirt cheap!
5 good games and trash controlers. I hope someone got fired for it. The hype was plapable and the reality was a real kick in the dick.
Did we get the same system? Lot of good classics on there. The only problem with the controller was the length of the cord but extensions took care of that. I then proceeded to hack the system and put another emulator on it to replace Nintendo's default NES emulator. Got every Famicom/NES/FDS game on it
I agree, lots of good classics. Hacking the system is something I never really looked into. I enjoy leaving systems stock, unless I have 2 of the same console. But that does sound pretty good, to have every game on the system.
Nice, I don't doubt it's a simple process. Personally I enjoy leaving items stock, unless I have a double. So if I ever get another one, then I'll consider adding games to it.
Jus mod it, I modded all my mini’s nes/snes/genesis etc put your own games on it if you don’t like the original lineup
