Wait . . . . Am I supposed to be choosing between the two or do I have to buy one then the other?
Anyway, if I really wanted to play a 16-bit game, I'd just drive to my parent's house, go up to the attic, and dust off the old Genesis (complete with Sega CD attached; yes, I was one of those people).

I can get old 16-bit games off of the internet for free easily. Heck I can find tons of flash games that mimic the old 16-bit games.
So no.
So no.
This right here, man. I'm all for supporting developers and whatnot, but times are pretty tight right now. Not like the developers are gonna see a dime of profit anyway, as I'd probably buy used.Internet Kraken said:

Assuming you could not, Would you buy a system like this instead of one of the bigger brands?keptsimple said:
They might.Space Spoons said:
If you could not get it used would you purchase a system like the aforementioned?
i would buy the older one, just because games would be a bit cheaper most likely, and for 400$ i could get a lot of games, while i can only get the system for the 400$ also i would never buy a system new, it will have bugs and it will not be great till a few months and by then i might as well wait for the price to go down enough to make me happy
Also by the way a lot of people are, the old games are said to be more fun then the new games, and that is why you getting a system to have fun!!! so have fun!!

no, bought a Ps3 seems silly to be spending money on a new system, i would rather have the games released on PSN and download them, assuming there was anything i wanted from the game list.
Yes I would. I play far more games on XBLA and PSN than I do full priced games. If it had a good retro catalog that came with it id be in.
Although i have all systems and can easily afford it all. I dont like many of the new games all that much.. all they do is flex their graphic muscles and are generally pretty much drink coasters after 1 play through.

Not for the prices you quoted. You can buy a used SNES or Genesis for $30 or $40, and these systems already have a huge libraries of games that can be purchased rather cheaply (with a few exceptions).Stevedave00 said:
Furthermore, for those so inclined, emulators and ROMs are available for free.
I think the retro appeal of these games would be lost on anyone under the age of 25. Although at some point, I'm going to stop using my parents' house as a depository for (nerdy) childhood memories. As far as I can remember, that attic is currently home to multiple video game systems and stacks of 2nd Edition Dungeons & Dragons books.Fredrick2003 said:
Possibly. Realistically, I'd probably only purchase a Super Nintendo if I could get any old console brand new. Even with emulation as advanced as it is now, there's a certain appeal to playing the real deal.Stevedave00 said:
Not that I think Nintendo is some struggling developer that can't afford to lose a single dollar, but that's another discussion altogether.
I recently purchased one for $20 for this very reason. I must say, for what it is, it's still impressive. Games run from $3.99 up to $35 depending on rarity. Very fun system.Space Spoons said:
explains the brain slug, but no, I wouldn't since I can play old games on my gameboy or DS, I also could just get emulators on my laptop.keptsimple said:
Im so loaded on my old games going back through the generations into the late 70's that I get my fill of them.. but heh..
money wise Im actually flourishing right now and my income has tripled in the recession ( well okay not mine alone, spouse is included in that) so dropping small amounts of cash now and then on pampering items is no biggie.
