In unrelated news, expect the rise of guides to fix your NES from guys "who totally know what they're doing, don't worry, fuggedaboutit."
"that insane "here comes the airplane" thing with a spoon full of peas."
I thought I was the only one! The insanity!!!
Good stuff Nex!

Good night sweet prince.
Seriously though, I thought this happened a long time ago? How are all these company's able to make bootleg nes&snes machines?

If some other company makes the connectors (84-pin I think, whatever the main thing that goes bad on them is), I think people will still be Ok as far as getting an NES up and running.
Might make quality machines harder to find though.

the nes will no longer be supported, but someone will still make pin connector replacements. that is seriously all that ever went wrong with them that didn't involve a total break.
still sad news.

This quite depressing indeed. The NES was what began my gaming career and really made me who I am today. Why would they do this? It's not like they are putting out any new Wii games. All they do is push them back. They should stick to the systems that are good (NES, Super NES, and the DS).
Is sad, the NES was my first gaming console back in the day...
They probably think is cheaper to sell the thing on the Virtual Console and rape you two times.

Home repairs on the NES are not that hard, and step by step guides exist on the internet. The only thing you'd have to worry about is one of the connecting pins actually breaking. I'm not sure how likely that is though, I've had my NES for 18 or 19 years now and I've only had to adjust the pins once. And it was fun. And none of them broke.
What I'd really like to know is how I can get my copy of Double Dragon III to work. I bought it at a garage sale and I've never been able to make it run. Most of the connectors look eroded, I wonder if the previous owner tried to clean it with something stupid.

I wonder if this has anything to do with the NES' game library starting to be offered through the Virtual Console?
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Shit, I'm gonna get on the ball and hoard as much snes surplus hardware while I can. I don't what I'd do without that...

I didnt even know they still repaired the little wonder box. Now Im gonna buy me a Nintendo system off of ebay cause IDK where my been for the past 10 years. Hear' hear'!!
Keep in mind that it's much easier to service old consoles, and most of the problems are things like capacitors and solder joints. The chips are very solid and reliable.
Modern hardware is a nightmare to service by comparison, so it doesn't surprise me that Nintendo is killing service for the SNES and N64 at the same time.
As for parts, well, N64 and even some Gamecube parts haven't been in stock on Nintendo's web site for a while.

Yes, they're evil bastards!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
I guess I can buy some NES cords or a used NES system package if I really want one.

A sad day indeed. I'm just glad mine still works.
Here's to hoping that doesn't change, otherwise they better really extend that VC list.

Those evil corporate fasists, endng support of a system that has been out of production for barely more than a decade! They should support it for two decades after it's out of production, at least.
honestly how often do any of your NESes see the light of day. Nintendo hasn't given up on the system they just is in the process of transferring it to the sexy wireless younger brother
I dug my NES out of the attic in which it's been for several years a few days ago and it works fine. A pain in the ass to get the games running, but that's due to the poorly designed front loading tray, not the hardware of the system or the cartridges themselves. Seriously, the only way you're going to break a NES is to either drop it from a great height, hit it with something heavy, or set it on fire. There's not a lot in that little plastic box that can go wrong.
Yes Alaphic, but not support as in making games, but for example if your NES broke. Ninrendo could repair it or controller broke. Nintendo could replace it for you. For a fee of course. Not anymore. That's history now. You'll have to go on Ebay.
This isn't an uncommon practice in the gaming industry. In the late 80's and early 90's. I bought some Atari 5200 controllers from Atari and even some games they never sold in stores, but selling from their stock warehouse. The game Gremlins I got that way from a computer printed catalog I sent for from Atari. The game was $9.95. A game that was never sold in stores, because the 5200 was abadoned before it was released.

Not that anyone cares, but you can see the game in this old youtube clip of mine, about 25 seconds in,
