Nintendo...the original....

[Mr Cob]

So, my wife and I picked up a Nintendo for the boys this past weekend.

The PS3 has way too many buttons for them and the Nintendo is perfect! COuldn't be happier! Oh and I just found out that my wife is a master at Super Mario Brothers! She whooped me!

Taking it back to the basics...


it's also Nintendo's 25th Anniversary....

Man....has it really been that long? Crazy!

Good buy for little ones that have trouble with the advanced systems. Even Super NES and the ones that followed after Nintendo have too many buttons. Nintendo has 2 buttons....A and B.

I owned a Nintendo but my first system was an atari and then a Super NES and a year later I got a nintendo...and now my boys have a nintendo...go figure!

Agreed Rob. What was the football game for the Nintendo?
Oh ya, thanks for making feel even older man. I can't believe it has been that long.

Where did you find an old nintendo?? I want one for the cabin.

I own a Nintendo (NES), Super NES and a Game Cube. Sold my 64 not to long ago. Needless to say im a nintendo fan although I do not own the Wii.

I need to get the Nintendo repaired- stopped playing the games a while ago. I have a few games. Mario 1, 2, 3, Duck Hunt, Ninga Gaiden, Zelda, Link and a few others....


Jack there is a guy on Craiglist that sales Nintendos, Ataris, Sega etc.... Just put in Nintendo on the search and he will show up.

Super Mario 3 is my all time favorite Nintendo game.

There was a ton at the Bussey's Flea Market. We went there on Sunday. But...most were dingy, scratched and dirty....except from one guy who refurbishes them. He only sells like new boxes, controllers and games.

The one we got from him literally looks new and has new parts that he replaced on it. It came with 2 controllers, power, the console, Super Mario Brothers / Duck Hunt and a gun. We paid $60 for it but you can find many more for less both there and online....but he had everything we wanted in a package deal and it was in great condition so I didn't mind paying more.

Funny thing though....the gun won't work on LCD screens....need a CRT tv....so we need to buy a new/used/old tv for the boys...lol...I just gave a couple away to Goodwill when we moved! "Give it back!"

Yes! because you can fly!!!! My wife wants to get that one. I'll play when she is sleeping....she laughs at me when I die every few seconds.
