Nintendo is in to the high tech businesses of GameCube and GameBoy Advance, but who can forget our classic games from the NES. Getting from Point A to Point B? In fact, these games deserve some respect, but they are getting harder to find as the days go by.
One thing that I notice, is that games I would not likely play on other systems, I play on the NES because of the cheesy comedy that only pixels can bring. For instance, Jeopardy! 25th Anniversary Edition, on the NES is classic! Me and my sis play it all the time. Of course some to answer questions, but alot of it is funny. When they lose or win, they do funny facials. in newer editions, they don't throw a tantrum, get excited, or anything. NES was more of a focus on that cheesy look that could make us laugh...hardly seen today!
Because of the NES's success, people want to get their hands on NES games, but are having a hard time, because copies are limited. The only place to get an NES game would be at a second hand store, or a garage sale. Never-opened NES games are incredibly rare. I could've bought a brand new never opened original version of SMB for $8 last year, and now I'm kicking myself for not!
So with all the limited copies of these great games can't be found in normal spots, so why not get ROMs. I know I know, they're illegal, but NES (and SNES, Genesis, and other early consoles) ROMs should be allowed. Nintendo makes absolutely NO money off of these games. So why are they desperate to close these sites down?
Two HOT NES ROM sites were closed down. Tobbeo and EmuRoma. These both offered all the NES ROMs and then some. For instance, Tobbeo had every single NES game on ROM, even from other countries, and EmuROMA had all the ROMs, and even some prototypes, for instance an early version of SMW for the NES.
So why do they do it? If no money is being made, why try to destroy it. People want to see these games, but Nintendo is limiting their chances to ever seeing the early and AWSOME side of Nintendo that many children today have no chance of seeing.
I searched up NES ROMs on Google, and found very little sites that included working ROMs. And even if I found some, they didn't have very many. I found one really good one with a lot of working ROMs. This site is gonna stay Anonymous for now, just in case Nintendo is listening in! !!
But honestly people, we need these. Pretty soon there'll be very little. I myself own two NES Consoles, and 30 games. However, the games aren't in 100% efficient condition, and often freeze and glitch up because of their age. ROMs don't!
So what do you say? Are you classic, modern, or both like me!
Some games such as SMB3, 3 Stooges, A Boy and His Blob, and other NES classics are seeing the day of light on GBA. However, they are being updated out of their classic form, and being sold for prices that are way obnoxious for something you could get at a Flea Market for a buck!
