The NES was an awesome piece of it for its time as was the SNES IMO

You can play legitimate NES games through the Wii Virtual Console now. I agree with your general premise however - I had tonnes more fun playing Super Mario Bros. on the Wii than I did with loads of tedious games on the Xbox.

It's even better to play on the actual NES

I remember my friend actually bought a SNES with some games a few months ago. It hardly worked though.

He also had that gun, Light Gun was it? That didn't work at all lol.

bah, nes back in the day, so funny, some friends, and my dad when playing, move his hands violently up in the air while pressing the jump button , i'm not talking the Wii here, i mean back when we had a NES. so many people did it as i recall. too funny.

I know what you mean, i was having a great game of mario 3 on my wii virtual console last night!!

Begbie · 23 Nov 2007 at 16:59

NES + SNES were both awesome everytime I have to travel long distances I get out the psp + some supermario 3.

I need to buy a power supply for my SNES really as i am desperate to play Street Fighter II and StarFox. Wouldnt mind getting another N64 as well just as a backup.

NightSt@lk3r · 23 Nov 2007 at 17:59

i have a mint condition NES in the other room, yours for £1000

I was never a big NES or SNES fan. None of the games on either really interested me. The Mastersystem and the Megadrive were so more better they had a much better choice of games and anything good to come out on the nes or snes came out on the MS and MD as well. And sonic was and is much better than mario

Well thats just my opinion anyway

skullman · 23 Nov 2007 at 18:43

I sold my SNES and loads of games a few years back. Wish I hadn't

Ind3h! · 23 Nov 2007 at 19:24

My girlfriend keeps hinting for me to get rid of my NES, SNES and N64...no way momma!
