Never owned a NES before! | NES unboxing and setup 

So I'm looking for comments and suggestions on what essential games I should be looking for. I'm open to getting Famicom carts and a converter as these should play on a 50Hz PAL unit and are often cheaper. Let me know below 😀

With the sound on, you looked happier than a kid on Christmas morning. I'm happy it worked better than the Mega drive. Maybe a 2 player battle?

I know UK 80's kids didn't get a nes, it was a Sega Master System, a ZX spectrum, an amstrad cpc, commodore 64, BBC Micro, commodore Amiga, or Atari St. Maybe even a Dragon 32 or some lesser known 8 bit micro, but here in the United States and maybe even canada, an Nes for a kid in the U.S. in the mid to late 80's and early 90's was a right of passage growing up! Glad your enjoying it! Watching you play super Mario Bros is like if someone had filmed me playing manic miner on the spectrum for the first time! I can't get enough of it! I love super Mario Bros. 2 the most! Our u.s. version, not the Japanese one! Enjoy your journey of discovery on the Nintendo! Very cool!

Just got me self one it’s super fun

Now THAT's how you pack a package indeed. It could easily be on the bottom of a 6" pile of packages and easily survive as drop from the same hight. You'll love the NES, it has some great games on it.

Y is the game do so fast?

I really hope you have some great times playing on the NES. You've already played Batman and Mario 1. No doubt you may have emulated ROMs but there's something really nice about a real NES.

I love the fact that it’s considered “fragile” by the previous owner!! It must be in great condition!! No work, just play!! ... With a game too!! ... WoW look at that!!

I wish mine worked lol I got it to work once with Pac-Man it’s been sitting for more than 20 years

I’m getting a new al nes soon and I never knew that the music was faster I though pal was slower

The NES is such a great system. It's never too late to get into it. Actually nowadays is the best time since all the hardware kinks are well documented and can be easily repaired. They're built like tanks too.

I had a nes back in 1987

If you’ve only just got the NES, I’d probably just invest in a flash cart. As for games, I was a Sega kid, so... Castlevania? BTW, the original PSU’s are pretty bullet proof.

I can tell your SMB game is running faster than a NTSC NES would. I've heard PAL runs faster, but now I see it for myself.
