The Nes Classic Edition is all the buzz right now. I managed to score a unit and did a in depth unboxing and review from a longtime gamer and collector perspective. Overall I am very impressed with this product. This is one of the longer videos I have done, and I tried my best to give a great overview of the product.
I am thankful for all the likes, comments, and subscribes. It is very helpful to me and inspires me to continue to make more videos. If you would like to support me more, I do always take donations and have a patreon. Link below:

no disrespect, but i LOL'd when he said, "EXCITABIKE".

@challaxeluithiadir6272 7 лет назад

he's probably said that since 85, but it's not like it wouldn't come up in 30 years.

@Captain_Neckbeard 7 лет назад

Florence O'Doyle Sounds like a pronunciation in an old Japanese commericial. Excite-uh-bike!

@chadblomquist6427 7 лет назад

Nice work John! Your enthusiasm is what makes your videos so fun to watch. The NES was certainly before my time, however I think this is a great way to experience some of these games without having to invest the time and effort into picking them up individually. Particularly for someone who doesn't collect NES.

@mantinez1 7 лет назад

Love seeing your videos, nice work John

@Harlan6493 Год назад

I picked one of these up along with the snes classic shortly after the snes version came out. I had to sell both along with 95+% of my collection a little over a year ago to cover medical bills. I was devastated. I finally was able to pick the nes classic back up tonight and I’m so beyond excited. Hoping to be able to get the snes classic again soon!

@SC0RPI0NFURY 7 лет назад

Solid review! Thanks John. I love your videos and appreciate your enthusiasm for retro gaming. Great tip on using the Wii pro controllers. Will be getting a Nes Mini soon hopefully!

Cool video, John! I always enjoy your enthusiastic and detailed perspective. I kind of want one of these now, because I don't own a television but I think I can plug it into my computer monitor.

Wow I am glad I pre-ordered this when it was first announced...got mine ages ago but wow-wee looking at the jacked prices on eBay though.....man scalpers are having a field day D:

@tonyhughes2686 7 лет назад

fantastic review thanks

@marccaselle8108 2 года назад

Great review John 🙂 I enjoy your videos. I wanted to get a NES classic when they came out originally, but I wasn't fast enough and saw the scalpers raise the prices to double the retail prices. I got a raspberry pi 3b+ instead in 2019 and didn't have a problem buying that. I threw every game I wanted on there and it's great. I was kinda hoping Nintendo would have made a Gameboy classic or N64 classic.

@chazzlucas6395 6 лет назад

you da man John Hancock

@aussiefarang8336 7 лет назад

Wow awesome, I never played on the Nes, I was a sega man but I'd love to get my hands on one of these. There now selling on eBay for 250$ Australian. I'm not paying that rediculous price so I'm drooling over this video haha.

@MVLGAMING 7 лет назад

Sweet. I also did an unboxing for the UK version, as mentioned in comments below, there is no poster or power unit included for the UK model. Although 60hz is quite the upgrade over the 50hz versions we had.

@jayzok 7 лет назад

@HoneyMike 7 лет назад

oh my god, a mini top loader is such a great idea. That means they could do the dogbone controller, I want it!

@snowyweather1 4 года назад

Yo Noid is something I always really enjoy going back to. It's pretty nostalgic for me but I would add that it's also one best platformers on the NES. It's a really fun Game.

@bxgeo5180 7 лет назад

I hope I can get one soon. are you going to get the retro-bit generations? if so hope you do a review on it

@pedrosolenoid2898 7 лет назад

What is the tune you keep using at the start of vids? Think I know it, perhaps not, totally love it. Can anyone link it? Thanks.

@TacticalPower88 7 лет назад

I wish Nintendo went the Sega route and allowed it to include a SD card slot for ROM support. How cool would have it been if you could lift the cartridge door and insert a SD card :)

@subzero8679 5 лет назад

I wish they made little cartridges. That would have been so cool.

@MarshallMathersthe7th 7 лет назад

Next games that should come on the Nes mini: Dr Jekkyl and Mr Hyde, Bill and Ted's excellent adventure, Back to the future, Karate Kid, Cheetahmen 2, Ghostbusters, Topgun (a real classic), Any Simpson game, Buggs bunnys birthday blowout, Jaws. Some absolute wanna play topgames that should be on there, especially the Nintendonerd would be very happy!

@MarshallMathersthe7th 7 лет назад

I can't wait untill i can buy one myself, i already have some of these games on the nes but i would really like to play Metroid and Zelda, cause i don't got those (yet?) But they are hella expensive if i went and buy those games.

@micacrestana 7 лет назад

Nice mate, this is a pretty hard to find console in Australia.

@TracyR4 5 лет назад

We love our Nintendo Classic mini console. No complaints at all. We did wish there was an SD slot to play more games. I'm also game for another console for sure with some more new games. Either way. Hope to see another new console in the future by Nintendo. We waited until the price came down. Still a pretty tough find in the NE. Had to search several stores and we found ours at a Target. There was one Classic and one Super on the shelf. I definitely want to get the super NES , I never owned one.

@eightbit1975 6 лет назад

Fast forward a year and a half later and I got one too. But my box has an ESRB rating on it. Interesting!

@JetteroHeller83 6 лет назад

Same here. In addition I bought a Hori Wireless Fighting Commando to complement the system. I also used hakchi and put all the NES games on it. Like John Hancock I now too own the whole NES library albeit in digital form. I am now in the process of trimming them down as some of the games are not worth playing. The games that it comes with are pretty good. The only additions at the moment that I like are Kung Fu, Popeye, Dig Dug 2, Bubble Bobble part 2, Blaster Master Zero, Defender 2, Lode Runner, Rainbow Islands, Mighty Bomb Jack, Millipede, Terra Cresta, and Q Bert.

How To Excite A Bike, tonight on John Hancock!

@joshhall7735 7 лет назад

My favorite thing about the NES classic is the work done after its release on GBAtemp.net A program was written to change the default software called Hakchi, now it is version 2.0 already and the list of features it now supports are reading emulator files from inside a zip. Because it only has 300MB of memory for games, with this feature it is now possible to put the entire US library of games 700+ games on the tiny little console. I love how portable it is and how small they made it.

@joshhall7735 7 лет назад

In case anyone has a problem with emulation, Nintendo will never be able to acquire all of the licenses again to release every Nintendo title as a digital release many companies that made Nintendo games are just simply not in existence anymore. So hoping for an expanded library is useless. When users from the GBAtemp community took apart the NES classic as a matter of fact they noticed that both the emulator and many of the Roms Nintendo put on the machines had a Jnes header at the top of the ROM. Basically Nintendo didn't research and develop their own emulator console, they didn't even bother to dump their own Roms off of original cartridges. They just went on the internet like anyone else and downloaded the pirated versions. They just coded the GUI and did a recode of JNES and a couple of features like the manual lookup. Basically we would not have the NES classic, if not for the amazing and free of charge work that people of the community put in. And we would not have all of these old games preserved forever in digital format if not for pirating.

@wayneaaron5818 7 лет назад

I had one order at Toy"R"Us and they concealed my order.

@TimHeinz-htimba 5 лет назад

I haven't bought a NES Classic yet, but I did get a SNES classic and it actually came with 2 controllers. I'm surprised that the NES only comes with 1 controller.

@nakjojo 7 лет назад

awesome....I'm still hunting for one. yes I love opening stuff too.. John do you ever let anyone come look at your game collection? I would love to take a peek!! And maybe play a couple of games.

@johnhancockretro 7 лет назад

Nope, not really. Many close friends have not even seen my collection(just have not had time) Not something I am comfortable letting people I dont know to see.

@nakjojo 7 лет назад

John Hancock Lol, Fair enough

@inzombiachouchin6310 5 лет назад

so if you pick demo in settings is it demo only and can't save the gameplay

@eatsleeptrainrepeat7906 7 лет назад

Are you from the UK? If so... where is my best option to be able to purchase one of these from as everywhere is sold out apart from ebay which is selling them for ridiculous money? Any info would be good people!!

@swk38 6 лет назад

I always called it excite a bike too

@dudewhyfi 7 лет назад

Is it worth picking up if you own a Wii U and are thinking of just picking up a few of the NES games contained on this? Is the emulation really that superior to the U's virtual console? I'm guessing this has next to zero lag since the controller is a plug-in

@FashionOutLook 7 лет назад

I hope they make an second one with only fun uncommon/ rare games.

@whoc4r3s117 7 лет назад

where can you find these systems?

@herohunter81 7 лет назад

I just beat Double Dragon 2 for the first time ever! I used the code that lets you restart the level your on. I don't consider it cheating because the only time I needed it is when the game cheated me with the platforming sections. That's where I would lose my lives. I was fine while fighting.

@Captain_Neckbeard 7 лет назад

herohunter81 I use save states in games. I know its cheating but I dont care. I can legit beat many games due to my practice on emulators.

@trackmastersdj Год назад

I added a bunch of ROMS to my (official) NES Classic Edition a couple years ago. However, I noticed lately that it shuts down in the middle of me trying to play it. Sometimes it shuts down after around 30 minutes and sometimes it shuts down after around only 3 minutes. This absolutely sucks. Has anyone else run into this annoying problem. Does anyone know why this keeps happening? Does anyone know how to fix this issue?? Thanks.

@PaulybiGGballZ0820 6 лет назад

Got one for 90 bucks..hopefully it gets sent

@EwaY83 7 лет назад

Well, I have all Virtual Consoles game on the Wii with HDMI adapter. I will buy the controller tho, but 30 games is not enough, just softmod your Wii or buy the VC games. They play exactly like the originals too, but with wireless controllers, more games: Neo Geo, Turbographx, C64, Arcade, SMS, Genesis, Nes, N64, Snes.. Everything on a SD card.

@subzero8679 5 лет назад

I see tons of these now just about everywhere. I feel bad for the people that paid a fortune for these. I hate scalpers.

@nephilim115-yg 7 лет назад

Freakin awesome vid man. I know this may be a dumb question but how much are they retail?

@TheRetroChallengerV 7 лет назад

Is it the same store that got you Magical Chase? Seems to be holding many goodies for you John. Just curious

@johnhancockretro 7 лет назад

Nope, I got the unit from a friend who bought it at Walmart

@stevenwaite1063 7 лет назад

Strange how my uk Nes mini doesn't come with a plug but the us does.

@johnsobery 7 лет назад

I saw someone posted a video opening up the classic and a controller. It looks like you can probably hack the system. Chips are not covered by the globe that you can see on the at games stuff. Additionally, you probably could change out the short cord. It's not soldered but uses a ribbon cable. I will wait to get after they hack it to add roms.

@Captain_Neckbeard 7 лет назад

johnsobery Do you have a hacked wii? Thats the way to go until they hack this thing. You can put all the roms on there.

@Captain_Neckbeard 7 лет назад

Nkechiyerem Onwughara No, but the wii was made for CRT televisions. It has standard av out and you can set it to 4:3 aspect ratio.

@ricardomelo2714 7 лет назад

yeap it has been done. You can now put your own roms in the mini nes

@shahid1296ify 6 лет назад

Is your intro song from a video game or is it custom made?

@bartsimpson83 7 лет назад

Have you seen where someone is remaking Castlevania in the Unreal 4 engine? They've released a demo and if they don't get shut down first they're planning to do the whole game. It's really cool.

@markahlers6011 Год назад

Too bad you couldn't spend a little time on Final Fantasy as that was and is one of the BEST games on the NES Mini. Loved it so much that I went to a retro game store in the Village and got the GBA remake as well as the PS 1 version..

@rj5485 7 лет назад

there's Bluetooth controllers on amazon for this system.. costs around 40bucks

@TheTopLoader82 7 лет назад

@CandisClassicGameShrine 7 лет назад

I'll grab one in a while when the hype dies down and they become easy to find. Since you love the NES, do you think you'd ever buy the NES TV for your collection?

@johnhancockretro 7 лет назад

I owned one, and sold it. Not my thing or a big deal to me. More of a hassle.

@CandisClassicGameShrine 7 лет назад

Yeah they take up a bit of space and it's always a worry if I'm gonna break any of the 4 feet on it.

@brandonwhitson1611 7 лет назад

If they put out a snes mini with castlevania 4, dk country, both super mario worlds, super punch out, chrono trigger, mario rpg, weaponlord, super metroid and others i would pay whatever they asked. plus a cordless snes controller, oh my god thats Dreaming i know but that would rule, also the 3rd zelda game and so many others, do it nintendo, then i want to see a mini turbo graphx 16 since i never owned or got to play one

@AnJohnThanhNguyen 3 года назад

My favorite NES Classic Edition Games is Super Mario Bros 3

@loafbringer 7 лет назад

John, Considering you have a complete collection of genesis and near complete collection of snes library, it is safe to assume you don't think too highly of the use of rom's. Could you elaborate further on this? It is a legal grey area for sure, but with the price of the nes mini, we can really value each of the 30 games to be around $1-$2 a piece. It really costs nintendo nothing to provide 30 games, i know konami games require licenses and that might cost them, but with the convenience of roms , don't you think its extortionate for nintendo to charge $5 for these nes games on the wii u virtual console? I emulate exculsively for the convenience using original controllers with usb adapters. If i had the cash for the old games and systems, a frameister and actual storage space i would go for it. Also, i live in a PAL region and 50hz sucks, i use NTSC roms for a reason!

@johnhancockretro 7 лет назад

Stephen Gallagher I don't have an issue with people doing it, but when a official product comes out, I always support it if I can. I know it's not an option for many people.

@loafbringer 7 лет назад

John Hancock ah yeah absolutely John. I totally understand that , I would support an official product like the nes mini!

@Captain_Neckbeard 7 лет назад

I would buy every game digitially if I could. I want all the games I want, which is why I download roms.

@BitScout 7 лет назад

If Nintendo made a sequel to the NES classic, I think it would be the SNES classic, but now there's a program that makes it easy to modify and add more games to the NESC.. it sounds to me like Nintendo knew someone would figure this out. Another Nintendo Easter egg? Would you be willing to modify your NESC, John Hancock?

@TiberiusWallace 7 лет назад

I can see why flk are excited about this but two things strike me. First it's just emulation and secondly it's not an original idea. Sega have been licensing these things for years and with those you can use carts.

@TheClassicWorld 5 лет назад

This is not just emulation, it's an official Nintendo console if that's what you're talking about. And, to my knowledge, SEGA have not done their own Classic console yet? It's coming in 2019 or were you just talking about emulation? This is, I think, the first official console of its type [Classic/mini] though.
