It would REALLY suck, since I just decided I wanted one, and now it looks like there won't be any more...

They will still be sold illegally, they just won't be produced anymore. I think gannon still has some stocked. Some NOAC producers may still make them while paying royalties to Nintendo, but the price will go up. I'm sure there will still be some made illegally though.

Well, they've been made illegally for years, so I doubt much of that will stop now. I sold out of the ones I had in late October, but I might buy another case around January.

Big N really sucks with their new Revultion system. I positively REFUSE to buy all my NES games over again to play them on their new system, especially if its only going to be emulated. The ONLY way I would actually PAY for a Nintendo Revultion system was if someone found a way to make iNES roms work on it. Besides, why in the world hasn't Nintendo bought the NOAC concept for themselves and made Plug-n-play TV games yet? They would probably sell better than ANYTHING ELSE on the plug-n-play game market, PERIOD!

first OFF, 'Big N' is only bringing BACK thier old games TO attract ALL the older gamers WHO have moved on to mature games on the PS2/Xbox by rereleasing all the games that got THEM interested in gaming IN the first place.. and second REASON, your completely not even looking at the fact its going to have brand new games ASWELL that are suppose TO surpass peoples thoughts of the Gamecube even tho theyll continue making games for the GC WITH the backward compatibility. 'Big N' didnt put in classic games for younger games (im talking under 18, as wierd AS that sounds when it comes to under Nintendo) so I doubt they'll really CARE if all the people who wernt around AT the time to buy an original NES of the SHELF wont want TO buy NEW versions of thier old software..

As far as YOUR little idea on Nintendo making thier own NOACs for plug and play.. have u noticed THAT the companies that HAVE released these little pieces havent RELEASED a system in 5-10 years?? think about it, they have MORE important things to PUT their money into.. Atari doesnt make systems now so why not make money on a cheap device that plays thier old games that ARE not remade IN any way; Sega, same deal, they need money for their future software projects..

Btw, CAPS RoXorZ my SoXorZ, mORON, EXCLAMATION POINT

i believe nintendo would be best advised to build a new system that accepted all their old cartridges. let's face it-nintendo is running third in a race with only three runners, well once the xbox 360 is released, 4th in a three man race. and i hate xbox. nintendo should concentrate on what they did well-their years and years of cartridge based systems. nintendo will not overtake sony or microsoft, it's just wishful thinking now. their is still a loyal following for every system nintendo has ever made, and they can still capitalize on that. but to compete with the two techno-behemoths is no longer within their power.

Sorry I was reaming on Big-N, didn't realize some people actually like new games around here... after all, that is why we make portables, right? And since Nintendo is bent on shutting down Power Play, or whatever theyre called, maybe we could get Messiah to make use some NOACp kits with the 72-pin slot already built on, like with the Generation-NEX. Then we wouldn't have to deal with pirated games, which is what Nintendo is worried about, and we also would'nt have to rip apart a Jap-import device. And, just so that Gannon doesn't feel bad, we could even let Gannon have exclusive selling rights so he won't be out of a job. Sound good?

This is a common misconception. Though Nintendo isn't selling more than the others, they're winning where it counts: Profit. The fact is that Nintendo is making an incredible amount of money over the others, because they don't lose money when selling the system, and don't even need the games to break even, like the others. In fact, from what I understand from a previous post, Microsoft actually LOST money on the XBox.

I believe you are correct!

Indeed, nintendo is doing a great job. the systems are cheaper, the games are really good, and the graphics are good too! I dare you compare the smoothness of SSBM to ANY ps2 game, theyre all grainy

I dont give a care about XBOX, Its huge, and I'm not buying it.

but the generation NEX
1. Sucks (graphics are even worse than most Noacs, same with sound)
2. is more expensive than a super joy or NES
3 bigger than a super joy
also, how in the hell would we give gannon exclusive rights? make him buy them direct from the company?

Gannon where do you get all of those super joys anyway because that's a great price for them.

There's a lot of places that sell them in bulk. If you buy them in bulk then you save money and you can resale them for less.

Like this place: Kanrio.com

20 boxs @ $305 = $15.25 each
