  1. i have a toploader!

  2. I HAVE THAT U THINK ITS WORTH MONEY!

  3. I say, to decrease the misfortune of blowing on your game, always buy an NES game with those protective sleeves.

  4. The vertical lines you mentioned are very noticeable on games with good graphics, like ninja gaiden or P.O.W.

    blah I can kind of see why they pick RF tho the idea who would have thought composite would have caught on. I mean don’t get me wrong I prefer composite than you can cut the audio out and plug what ever you want listen to instead. Now I had the old school box NES when the top loader came out. When I saw the top loader I said who cares lets just get a SNES.

  6. i play the original with the bone controller XD
    nice review

  7. yeah you can, you can buy official OEM systems that actually play the games properly…

  8. i liked the idea but i like the original design of the console better, like when you put the game inside and if it was larger it would seem moew worth the money.

    i dont mind the lines on the tv because of the rf connector.

    You can buy an RF modulator switch on ebay for under $5.

    nice system, it takes away the hastl of the whole taking of the cartridge and blowingit if it doesn’t work….but the original box looked nicer, i mean if his had a nicer design maybe it would be just as popular

  12. powerlessatari

    arent these more reliable than the nes 1 like they last longer and dont break easier

  13. stingraycollector16

    i am glad u mention the vertical lines because i upgraded my nes to the nes 2 and i have those lines and i wondered if my system or rf was bad

  14. I have the frontloading boxy look and I have never had to clean them or blow into them they work perfectlly first try and it is an original 72 pin connector

  15. NintendoRagazza

    This system rocks my socks.

  16. There’s a really rare NES 2 with AV support but other than that, no.

  17. Is there any way to play an Nes2 on an A/V television without modding it?

  18. While I agree that they’re cheaply made and they also look like shite, the weightlessness is technically a good thing. It’s just better technology that makes the controller lighter, although like you, I prefer it heavier.

  19. OMG ITS EARTHWORM JIM! :D

  20. EarthwormJim55

    Do you have a toaster NES?

  21. EarthwormJim55

    I got one for xmas too.

  22. the controls looks great BUT it,s very small,and the d pad is pretty weird cuzz sometimes when i press up/down, i may probabely push left/richt,this is frustrating when i want to walk up/down the stairs in castlevania3, so i may fall into a gap.

    Its a nice little system but i just stopped using the top loader i hate rf units there just a hassle to hook up which is why now i use the FC Twin its a great system its a Nintendo and Super Nintendo in one you cant get any better than that.

  24. I agree with your point about composite inputs being kicked off the NES2…it’s pretty stupid, since by that time, the N64 was about to come out, and they should have at least kept the inputs on..or just take off the RF input and keep the A/V input..but oh well…I have an original A/V modded Famicom :P Nice video though!

  25. This corrected a lot of problems for those of you who had the NES back then…I had the Famicom since in my country it was the standard, but it was an upgraded version from the original Japanese because the controllers weren’t hard wired to the system and it didn’t have a microphone on the second controller, it was top loading so we never really had any problems at all.
