their are a few legendary games that come along but this game is what the nes is all about,it is worth buying the nes just bfor this game

Super Nintendo!
SNES is one of the most innvoative consoles of its time.Gone were the days of pixilated sprites and linear backrounds.Heck, this system even pushed some polygons by the end of its life (Starfox and Stunt Race).Get this system...

a kick-a$$ system
the SNES is such a great video game system i still have my snes and have quite a few gmes..it just never gets old for me

NES
Widely considered the best system of all time. Has hundreds of great games, including Metroid, The Legend Of Zelda & The Legend Of Zelda II: The Adventure of Link, Final Fantasy, Super Mario Bros. 1, 2 & 3, and countless others. I highly recommend this system.

Nintendo Sweeps the table on Video Games!!!
Nintendo Really did well on this system
This system has some of the best classic games I can think of including: Super Mario Bros. #'s 1, 2, and 3. RBI Baseball. Tetris, Zelda, and a ton of other games. This system is also very family friendly. No really grphic violence or stuff.

Educational games are also availible. (Younger Kids LOVE Ernies Shapes and Grover's Numbers). Some games teach good hand eye coordination and shooting skills too, just get the famous classic Duck Hunt, and buy the NES Gun.


No matter what your age, NES has classics for you.
The system itself is a work of art too. 2 controller plug-ins ( I Think I heard that there was some way to make that 4 plug ins). Good for many hours of family fun.

There are some cons though:
-The RF Modulator (The thing that connects the NES to your TV)
is pretty hard to figure out ( There is something that you can buy to make AV outputs for you Nintendo, but that is normally not included with it).

-The cartridges have the tendency to get a lot of dust in them. (Fix this by blowing in the bottom of the cartridge)

- And it is a little hard to find good support for it too. Although a lot of times you can fix it with a little brainpower.


But altogether I would recommend this awesome Nintendo to anybody, any age.

4 1/2stars altogether

- The classic, the best, the only
-- Brandon about the NES

Nintendo NES is Still the Best
The 8-bit NES System takes you back to a simpler time.A time when graphics weren't overwhelming and violence wasn't as prevalent in video games.(Yes, of course there was some, but not to the extent of, say, Grand Theft Auto and it's ilk.)The games are easy to comprehend and play.They're also easy and cheap to find at thrift stores.All you have to do is clean them up and pop them in.Many web sites offer PDF downloads of the manuals/instructions as well so don't worry that you don't get the game mint in the box.The system and games are easy to maintain.Anyone with a phillips head screwdriver and a q-tip with a dab of rubbing alcohol can keep games and system clean and blink-free.New 72 pins can be easily installed for under 10 bucks - then your old system will play forever.I particularly like the Role Playing Games and the ability to save games for future play.Super Mario Bros. 3 is by far the best (and one of the toughest) video game ever created.Enjoy it!Relive your youth or show your kids what video games were like "back in the day."

I love it
I'm only 13 and my grandma has the NES system, but i'd rather play that than play my x box. There are some great games for that system. Like star trek next generation, kirby nightmare indreamland, RBI baseball. techno bowl. i love it. i'd trade my xbox for that system any day. im really 13

you need this for duck hunt alone
duck hunt is probably the best game ever but then you add in the other titles from this system and you have to get this system. man i loved duck hunt ... Read more

Amazon.com Review

The Dreamcast system is, in a word, awesome. Fire up Soul Calibur, and instantly you'll appreciate that the graphics and gameplay are even better than in the arcade version. And Sonic Adventure, with its light-speed gameplay, is sure to wow even the most jaded gamer.

It's amazing that such a small machine (it's about the size of your mouse pad) can deliver such incredible performance. Chalk it up to superior engineering. Dreamcast's only downside is that it comes with only one controller and a demo disc. In order to truly take advantage of Dreamcast's capabilities, we recommend outfitting the controller with a Jump Pack and a Visual Memory Unit. Getting one or more extra controllers is also a good idea, because some of the best Dreamcast games support up to four players at once.

Why it's so cool:

• Ultramodern components: Custom-made video, audio, and processor technology blows away the Nintendo 64 and PlayStation and puts Dreamcast in the same league as PS2 and XBox.
• Integrated modem: In another video-game first, Dreamcast comes with a 56K modem. Use your regular Internet service provider and the separately sold keyboard to access e-mail, shopping, and the World Wide Web. Not only can you upload high scores, participate in chat discussions, and download updates and enhancements for your games, but, through a membership to the SegaNet Internet service provider, you can play Quake III Arena, NFL 2K1, and other games against Dreamcast owners over the Internet.
• The Visual Memory Unit (VMU): More than just a memory card, the VMU is a miniature portable game system that fits inside a controller--so its LCD screen is easily seen by you but hidden from your opponent.
• All-in-one entertainment: It plays games. It plays audio CDs. It connects to the Internet and lets you browse the Web or e-mail friends. Our note to the cost-conscious: If you have a Dreamcast system, you just don't need a separate CD player or a separate computer. Dreamcast does it all, and does it well.

The Sega Dreamcast is better than a Gamecube.
I love the Sega Dreamcast so much. The Dreamcast has online and a Gamecube dose not. A Dreamcast is easyer. A Gamecube is more harder. Dreamcast has more better games than Gamecube. Gamecube is just a copy of a Dreamcast. I give a Gamecube a 7.5 . I give a Sega Dreamcast a 9.5 . I wish they haven't stop making games for the Dreamcast.

Hours of good fun playing!
I bought a Dreamcast last week for (...)with more than 20 games and I'm very happy I did! Some games on it are just amazing.. I have an xbox but I love fighting games and Dreamcast has a bunch of quality ones. I can also play, nes, snes, mega drive and mames games on TV: that's just the best ! Very cool console.

Dreamcast
The release of NHL 2K2 marks the end of the Sega Dreamcast's remarkable run. While production of the Dreamcast may be over, the legacy lives on. In the dreamcasts short lived life time 248 Dreamcast titles were released. The first console to venture into online gameplay, Dreamcast has a built-in 56K modem. With 128-bit processing, 3D audio capabilities and stellar 3D graphics, your gameplay experience just got better.

When you purchase Dreamcast, you receive the Dreamcast console, 56K modem, one standard Dreamcast Controller, Stereo A/V cable, power cable, ten-meter phone cable, Internet browser CD-ROM, game sampler CD-ROM, and instruction manual.

Peak graphics performance of over three million polygons per second provided by the PowerVR 2DC graphics engine for the fastest, most sophisticated 3D graphics ever seen on a videogame console.

128-bit 3D processing power provides amazing lighting and other special effects.

Built-in 56kbps modem for the ultimate in multiplayer online gaming.

16 megabytes of memory for huge, complex game worlds.
64-voice CD-quality audio.

Four built-in controller ports for easy multi-player action.
Built-in high-speed expansion ports.

If you a collector and want the last sega console ever made then dreamcast can be had for about $40 to $20 bucks depending on where you look

a chunk of moneydown the drain
I bought it, but then I bought sonic adventure 2 after that. I turned my console on, then the screen turned pitch black. It froze. If you want to play sonic adventure or sonic adventure 2, buy a NINTENDO GAMECUBE. I know those work. This system is 6 years old. If you buy it, a big clump of money is down the drain. Now, go to the homepage and type 'gamecube' in the search bar for amazon.com and start shoppin'!

What is wrong with you ppl?
Ok, Ive been reading the reviews and I'm A bit angry. Sega revolutionized the market with Dreamcast.Without it, alot of the games we play now might not even exist. Without Sega, We might not even have 3-D games. The first systems with true 3-D capabilities were the Saturn and PS1 and the PS1 technology was stolen from Nintendo! The Playstation was A CD add-on for Super Nintendo but when Sony was recruited, they stole the technology and the name. If Nintendo were to launch a lawsuit and the new home console code named revolution, you would be buying Nintendo PSP because Sony would be wiped out. As for the Dreamcast, it was a great system but because the phanboys failed to see that, it failed. As for the phanboys in question, if you cant even capitalize letters, your not worth my time. Stop putting bad reviews here and go play your PS2. ... Read more

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is Aweosome!And I only have the first one!I am saving up for a Sega Nomad Or Sega GameGear.This is like the first edion of XBOX.Buy the last ones on Amazon.Com!

Wow, dumb luck!
I was on my way somewhere and was running late, but can never resist the temptation of the game store everytime I drive by, so I gave in and stopped at the store.I walked around, and lo and behold, I spot a Sega Genesis system at the old system and game "graveyard" in the back of the store, all cables and other items included, that someone had apprently just dropped off with a nice selection of games. The system, save for a couple of small scratches, was like new. I grabbed it right away, along with Sonic The Hedgehog, Sonic II, Mortal Combat II, all for $25. I am very surprised that I found this system, since they are becoming harder to find. I took it to a friends house later, tried it out and it worked just great. Playing Sonic took me back 10 years to college, when I first played this system. It was great being re-united with an old friend. Needless to say, I am happy that I got my hands on this system while I still can, and will spend hours playing it!

Its no Super Nintendo but its still great.
To me Super Nintendo will always be the best 16 bit gaming system mainly because of the superior graphics and sound but I have to admit I lived on Sonic The Hedgehog for most of my life.Unlike the SNES that only had a couple games where you could play as Mario and Luigi the Sega Genesis had tons of Sonic games.It was so cool to watch that series evolve.I think Sonic 3 and Knuckles will always be one of the best games of all time and Vectorman is cool too and lets not forget about Mortal Kombat.That was to me the birth of mature rated gaming.When ever you got sick of playing the clean safe Sonic series and wanted a little blood and guts this is the system you went to for that.

A Timeless classic
I cant believe amazon sells this thing. The technology is from 1988, The games are hard to find now, and its almost forgotton. However i give my respects to amazon for keeping variety in their merchandise. I don't think kids would really like this thing now but when I was 10 years old this was the XBOX. The graphics were great at the time, and in a weird way they still kind of are. I only recomend this system to people who remembered it in its glory days, and are looking for a path down memory lane. key titles are SONIC THE HEDGEHOG, ALTERED BEAST, SHADOW DANCER, GOLDEN AXE, STREETS OF RAGE, VECTOR MAN, And let us never forget the ROAD RASH series. These days truley were the glory days for sega, and theres no point in ignoring this system at all. Oh memories.

no show
Please do not order from this person, it has been a month and I have not received my order ... Read more

Thrilling!!!!!!!!!!!!sometimes even better than PS2!
This is a Retro Game Sysytem,but still cool!!!!They work like a PS2 but even better than a PS2.buy it,BUY IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Poor Nintendo
Nintendo in my words have gone downhill since the mid to late 90's and now they're mostly gone from the gaming industry. I have to admit though in the 80's they were HUGE! The Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) you can never diss. I liked the NES so much and even when the Super NES came out I still played with my old buddy. I do like Sega, Sony, and Microsoft but now I really have to interest with Nintendo. The Nintendo 64 was an okay system. It used cartridges and I wish Nintendo would have realized that now you can have disks! PSOne was a 32-bit system while the Nintendo 64 was a 64-bit system. I really do not see the big difference with the graphics and I like PSOne's graphics better than the Nintendo. Nintendo 64 has all the classic games as seen in the 80's. Arcade games and Mario games are so old and I think Nintendo should go more to adults now. For children the Nintendo 64 and the GameCube are very good systems because there is no violent games or anything. When you get to be a teenager you start wanting violent games (Grand Theft Auto). All around the Nintendo 64 with the wierd controller hasn't satisified me but if you like it that's your opinion.

The Mid 90s XBOX - Goodbye old friend
For those who remember this console.
- Quicker loading times than the PS1.
- A 64bit graphics pipeline.
- The funky controller.

Games:
- Banjo Kazooie(Best game)
- Turok (Best graphics)
- Extreme G (Fastest game)
- Goldeneye (Best Multiplayer)
- Blast Corps (Best puzzle game)
- Pro Evolution Football (Best sports game)

If you have never heard about these games go read about them and you will see why this console was important for games development. For everyone who had, what is a Silicion Graphics (SGI computer) games box, in 1997, 1998, 1999 running 64 bit graphics, then you know how good it was and how it is the games on this thing that made the PS2 all the more possible. Some of these games are now leading developers today.

The only drawback was no cut scenes and nothing really long because the game was on a catridge. Still this box was 64 bit graphics and you got that.

Even though it gathers dust now, it is still a classic and integrel part of gaming evolution.

Not as good as Dreamcast,PS2,or Nintendo Gamecube,but cool
Okay,here's a list of the pros and cons for N64:
Pros
Huge Game Library:
Although it doesn;t have as many games as Genesis,SNES,PS2,or Nes,it sill has 294 titles which should keep you busy.
Multiplayer Games
When it comes down to this,N64 rocks!With Battle Tanx,Battle Tanx 2:Global Assault,Mario Party,Mario Party 2,Mario Party 3,Donkey Kong 64,Super Smash Bros.,Mario Kart 64,and many other multiplayer games,despite no online games,Nintendo 64 is one of the best systems for 2-4 player games around.
1-Player Games
Okay,so maybe cood one player games were in short supply,but Nintendo goes for Quality,not Quantity.With revolutionary best sellers like Super Mario 64,The Legend Of Zelda:Ocarina Of Time,Donkey Kong 64,Pokemon Stadium,Pokemon,Stadium 2,and Pokemon Snap(okay,maybe Pokemon Snap wasn't that great,but who cares.Besides,it was fairly revolutionairy),Nintendo has great 1-player games.
Graphics(note:this is both a pro and con,but I put it in the pros)
Although Surpassed by Sega Dreamcast,Playstation 2,Xbox,and Nintendo Gamecube,N64 still has graphics that blow away Playstation One,NES,SNES,GB,GBC,and Sega Genesis.With highly detailed backgrounds,character detail,sharp animations,and real-time lighting effects,N64's grphics still stand up to the test of time by showing what they can do with The Legend Of
Zelda:Ocarina Of Time and Donkey Kong 64.
Pricing:Although you get a bit more for your money with DC,if you can stand not CD player and no online play(which I can and I hope most people can) plus non top of the line Power,the N64 is the system of choice among price conscious parents.
Cons:
Cartridge's cvost more than CD's and ward off devlopers:self-explanatory.
Power Surppassed by Xbox,Ps2,Gamecube,and Dreamcast.Although N64 has excellent graphics,they are still surppassed by newer systems like PS2,Gamecube,DC, and Xbox.
Practically no new games
There is one more game on its way for N64,Tony Hawk's pro Skater 3,but other than that no new games are on the way for it.
Lack of Racing Games and RPG's:There was only one RPG for it,Quest 64,which was overall not as good as other RPG's,buit don't wseat about what I said about racing games,there's plenty of good ones such as Rush 1-2049,Road Rash 64,Off Road
Challenge,California Speed,and Cruisin USA.
Well,enjoy this system,or if you don't get it,spend the money you just saved wisely!

Amazon.com Product Description

The Expansion Pak allows the random access memory (RAM) of the Nintendo 64 console to increase from 4 megabytes (MB) to 8 MB of contiguous main memory. With the help of an included key, the Expansion Pak fits into the slot that is below a removable panel on the top of the N64 console. Game developers can take advantage of the increased memory in several ways, including making games that are more visually appealing. Some games will allow players to choose a "high-resolution" option, increasing the screen resolution from 320 by 240 pixels to as much as 640 by 480 pixels--creating crisp, high-definition graphics. The Expansion Pak utilizes Nintendo 64's capability for 32-bit, 16.7-million-color display with 256 levels of transparency (alpha)--bringing your games to a new level of realism. Instead of reusing texture data, games can buffer a larger number of textures for a more distinct look.

Other ways for developers to utilize the larger memory is by setting a higher frame rate, longer replays, and more animations. Games also can have more sophisticated artificial intelligence, which allows computer-controlled characters to be smarter, literally. Games can offer more characters and vehicles, and contain larger, more complex levels and worlds. Some games like The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask require the Expansion Pak, while others such as Perfect Dark require it for access to all of the game's levels and features. See our list of Nintendo 64 games that take advantage of the Expansion Pak's extra power. ... Read more

Zelda
I really really really really really love this game it's worth
playing. the legend of zelda ocarina of time is the best.
it's worth playing it all dayyyyyy it just glues you do the tv.
thats why i think you should rateit 5 stars....

PS: where thinking of buying it off the net.

Conkers bad fur day
Conkers bad fur day is mostly the best N64 game ive played
almost every chapter in the game rules. one of my favourite
chapters is Ugubuga. that music on bomb run Rocks
this game Rules.

Spend the Money
I'm a retro gamer of sorts, being the owner of an Atari 2600, a Sega Genesis, a Playstation, and several PC platforms. I recently acquired a Nintendo 64 so I could play Starfox 64. I bought a "new" (unused) Nintendo brand Expansion Pack because I plan on playing Donkey Kong, and I didn't want to deal with any of the problems I've read about with company X brand upgrades. It comes with the removal tool too so you won't be stuck with trying to pry out the standard (4MB) Jumper Pack with a butter knife. I've read many reviews of this product on this site that knock it and question its value. However, I've discovered an added bonus to the upgrade.

The Nintendo 64 was one of the final cartridge-type systems to be built, before CDs became the rage. Any experienced gamer will tell you that a last generation cartridge system in general has faster load times than a first generation CD console, hence a big reason for Nintendo's decision to go cartride with the 64. Those of you with a Playstation can sympathize. So, I installed the Expansion Pack upgrade and, to my surprise, I noticed a slight improvement in load times over the standard Jumper Pack with Starfox 64, a game that isn't credited with utilizing the 4MB RAM upgrade. The graphics do appear to be about the same.

Others question Nintendo's motivation: Did they know ahead of time that they would eventually be marketing games that needed 8MB RAM instead of the standard 4MB? Perhaps, but read the fine print folks. Nintendo is pretty clear on which games will benefit from the upgrade (enhanced graphics, unlocked features) and which will not. Purchase accordingly. If I had to make a choice of whether to buy it again or not I would do so. Having it will allow me (or you) to play virtually all of the games in the 64's library, and we're only talking about a $25 (or less) investment.

GREAT ADDITION!
Is a must for many of the newer and better N64 games out there. It aslo greatly improves graphics on the games that can utilize it. Unlike the person who just gave this 1 star, one has to understand that unless the game is designed for the expansion pak you will see little difference.

Very helpful
For those of us who can't let go of our precious old Nintendo systems, the Expansion Pack is a must-have.Its not compatible with all games, but it doesn't do anything negative.Some games give you the option to increase the resolution with the expansion pack.Others, like Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, require it.

For the price, I'd add it to other purchases to save on shipping, but it still beats out buying it in EB! ... Read more

One of the TOP TEN reasons to own an SNES
Please note: this review refers to the Super Mario All-Stars cartridge that includes Super Mario World. Super Mario All-Stars + Super Mario World is one of the best game cartridges that you could possibly own for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. It is one of the best compilations ever created and it is also one of the only reasons why I still consider the Super Nintendo Entertainment System the SECOND best gaming system on this planet (assuming you lack an N64 Tri-star converter). The five games on this cartridge are as follows: Super Mario Bros. 1, Super Mario Bros. 2, Super Mario Bros: The Lost Levels, Super Mario Bros. 3, and Super Mario World. Other than the fact that this version of the original Super Mario Bros. allows you to score extra points after each individual Bowser battle in the big castles at the end of each world, the Super Mario Bros. trilogy is exactly the same as it was on the NES, except the graphics, music, and sound have all been updated significantly in order to showcase the power of the SNES (as if the games didn't look and sound pretty enough). There's also the difference of being able to save your progress in the games, which is not particularly necessary if you already know the locations of each warp zone in each game. Furthermore, you can only save after each WORLD, and not each LEVEL (unlike the GBA versions), which somewhat defeats the purpose of having save capabilities in the first place. Super Mario World, however, is exactly the same as it is on the SMW-only cartridge, except for the fact that the Game Genie codes only work on the SMW-only cartridge, which is somewhat of a letdown. Another difference which is also somewhat problematic is that in the original Super Mario Bros., the fireballs in the castle levels jump up and down twice as fast as they did in the NES version, making you twice as likely to get touched by one and lose health. Of course, little things like these are minor and really don't bear much of any influence on gameplay experience. Unfortunately, however, there is one very damaging flaw somewhere in the cartridge that separates it from perfect five-star status from me.

For some reason or another, usually always after I've completed or come close to completing all five games, all the saved game data automatically deletes itself. All the saved game data from all five games will somehow erase itself. You don't even have to "tell" it to do this, it'll just do it for you, and for no particularly good reason at all. For instance, you can be on World A-1 in Super Mario Bros: The Lost Levels, remove the cartridge, play another game, and then re-insert that cartridge, and discover that all you data is gone. Now, it's possible that I may have just gotten a bad copy, but if you ask me, problems like these are just outright unforgivable, and they suck the satisfaction right out of a meaningful and fulfulling gameplay experience in making you start all over again. It's a crying shame that problems like these even exist! On a more positive note, however, all the games (excluding Super Mario World) are compatible with the game genie, which I own, so I can remedy this problem a little bit by making the playable character invincible in those games thus getting them completed twice as fast, but to put it bluntly, I really shouldn't have to do that. So, therefore, instead of a perfect 10 score, which this game would get from KAB had this flaw been nonexistent, it loses one whole point, thus reducing it to a score of 9, and therefore only a four-star rating.

The KAB ratings -

Fun Factor: 10
Replay Value: 10
Graphics: 10
Sound: 10
Gameplay: 10

Overall Evaluation: 10 - (1.0) = 9.0 Excellent. (one whole point subtracted for egregious technical flaw)

Reviewer: Kelvin

This is gaming at its finest.
I have the version of this that includes Super Mario World, but I won't review it here. Anyway, onto the review.......

Super Mario Bros: This game didn't start Mario's career, but it sure did jump start it. This game has 32 levels, with 8 chapters, 4 stages each. It's the NES SMB you remember, but with updated graphics and audio that are still the reminiscent to the NES version, but are a lot better. This game needed the 16-bit update more than any other title on this cartridge.
Overall Score: 10

Super Mario Bros.-The Lost Levels: The 1986 Japanese sequel to Super Mario Bros, this game has 32 new levels, Luigi as a playable character, and a difficulty level that only the most the hardcore old-school Mario fans can beat (I have beaten every game on this cartridge except this one!). The graphical and audio improvements are the same as what the original got. Difficult, but if you claim to be a Mario dominator, give this one a shot.
Overall Score: 9.5

Super Mario Bros. 2: This is an odd one. This game is actually a port of a Japanese game called "Doki Doki Panic", but with a Mario flair. You get to play as either Mario, Luigi, Toad, or Princess Toadstool (or Peach, or whatever), and you are trapped in a dream land, trying to stop this Wart guy and his minions, or something like that. This game doesn't really feel like the Mario that you're used to, and the ending is rather disappointing, but this is still a fine entry in the Mario series. And, of course, this game needed an upgrade as well, with, once again, the graphical and audio improvements keeping the game's spirit alive while being superior to the NES game.
Overall Score: 9.5

Super Mario Bros. 3: My favorite NES game, Super Mario Bros. 3 is made even better in this Super NES remake. I simply don't know why I like this entry more than the other NES Mario games. More gameplay options, maybe? More levels? It's the best game in the All-Stars half of this cartridge, that's for sure. And, of course, the improvements are true to the original, while keeping the game fresh and unique.
Overall Score: 10

ottom Line: Grab this now, and if you don't have Super Mario World, there's a version of this that includes it. There's a lot of classic memories and years of replay value contained on this cartridge. Highly recommended.

Super Mario 1, 2, 3 and Lost Levels on one cartridge!!!!
This was the game to get on the SNES for Mario Fans. I do preffer Mario World over this, but this classic revived the previous 3 versions of the SMB's on the NES, bringing them new and fresh to the SNES.

The graphics are not the same as the NES versions. There was all new graphics and a few options, you could save from place to place and it wa smuch easier then the old NES versions. It worked very nicely. And the lost levels is actualy the original Maro Bros. 2 Game that WAS released in Japan with that title, but Nintendo USA decided to go with a different layout for there part 2. But it's here now and called the lost levels.

The original Mario bros 1, 2 & 3 and the SNES MW4 have all been revived on the Gameboy Advance with the original style of graphics, they are new and improved. I'd like to see all these versions put onto the one release of a system one day. You cant beat the classic Mario Bros games 1 to 4 and Mario Karts!!!

A Major disapointment
I have been playing this Game for 12 years now and I think this one sucks. I mean for Super Mario Bros/Lost Levels, The graphics are bad. The Sound is like the same sounds that was used in Super Mario World. for Super Mario Bros 2, This is one of the worst Games ever and I can't stand that Sh.... Music. Now I don't have a problem with Super Mario Bros 3 but like what I said at the beginning of this review like the sounds and all I would just prefer the Game Boy Version because The super nes is old.

4 Mario games in one! Mama-mia!
Super Mario All-Stars has 4 great NES Mario games, along with enhanced graphics, sound, music, and an added save feature! The games are:

Super Mario Bros: The one that started it all! This game is just plain fun!

Super Mario Bros. 2: Japan didn't want to release the real Mario 2 in America, because they thought it would be too hard for us! So they put a Japan-only game named, "Doki Doki Panic" and added Mario characters to it. Although it's the oddball of the series, it is pretty fun!

Super Mario Bros: The Lost Levels: The REAL SMB2. This game is HARD! It's like SMB with some neat twists! You can be Mario or Luigi. Mario has medicore jumping power, but great traction. Luigi has great jumping power, but mediocre traction.

Super Mario Bros 3: Although not my favorite Mario game, [I prefer SMW] this is the best of the four. Mario has some cool powerups, tons of levels, and new challanges!

Got an SNES? Then get this!

Editorial Review

Nintendo first dabbled in video games during the industry's early years of the mid-'70s. Generations of successful gaming console releases through the years led to the much-hyped 1996 launch of Nintendo 64, a system that represented a giant evolutionary leap in video game technology. Within the first three days of launch, hundreds of thousands of gamers hunkered down with Mario 64, considered by many to be one of the greatest video games ever created. Even today, the system's excellent design continues to host an ever-expanding library of breakthrough games.

Nintendo 64's popularity among younger gamers is no surprise. Well-respected games featuring such long-lived and much-loved personalities as Mario (of arcade classic Donkey Kong fame), Zelda, and Banjo-Kazooie are easy to learn and offer enormous replay value. But times are a' changin' and the system's ever-growing library of titles has expanded into every genre of games imaginable, including games better suited for older gamers. In fact, some of the most acclaimed--in some cases, groundbreaking--games available on any platform today are packed onto N64's old-school cartridges.

Under the system's hood, its appeal to the young certainly didn't produce a less mature gaming machine. On the contrary, the 64-bit system boasts impressive graphics, stereo sound, and numerous accessory enhancements, including a high-resolution pack that boosts graphics to awe-inspiring resolutions.

Start your library with Goldeneye 007, Mario 64, Banjo-Kazooie, Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time, and Star Wars: Episode One Racer--these titles represent a decent start to any N64 cartridge library.

With the recent launch of Sega's Dreamcast system, Nintendo 64 is being left behind as the leader in video game technology. And with newer game systems featuring CD-based games, the system's expensive cartridge format is proving itself an archaic and unconventional storage format. But, at a sub-$110 recommended retail price for a console with two controllers, innovative accessory enhancements and a great library of games keep the system's rabid fan base satisfied, if not eager for Nintendo's next evolutionary step. --Eric Twelker ...

The Nintendo that didn't have a fair go
Nintendo will never be out-done, just out-priced.

Nintendo started off making small hand held electroic games before creating the 8 bit system in the 80's. And when they released the Super Nes they had the 2 greatest home video game systems of the day. Sega never stood a chance because they rushed things just to compete with nintendo, where as nintendo took there time when releasing systems to make sure they where the best they could be. Only the people whose mothers bought them a Sega instead of a NES or SNES where the ones who would defend the Sega systems. But the segas where slow, graphics wernt as good and the sound was as bad as the game play handling.

Nintendo had completly beaton Sega in the market of games. But sega brought out an attachment for the Genises/Mega drive that allowed you to hook on a CD ROM drive to the machine. And nintendo decided to make an even better one to attach to the SNES. If you look on the bottom of a SNES console, you will see where it would attach. The CD Rom for SNES was being developed by Nintendo and Sony. But arguments arose between Sony and Nintendo and Sony seperated themselves from Nintendo and went solo on the project that eventualy became the Playstation!

The playstation was only twice as powerfull as the SNES. The snes was 16 bit, the PS was 32 bit. So ninetendo developed a 64 bit system, twice as powerfull as the playstaion, better graphics, better controll, and better potentiol.

But when the 64 was released, it did not get the fair attention it should have. Why? Because of the CD's Sony used. Not because they where better, not because they where slower, not because they where more fun...no... it was because people where buying them ripped / copied / burnt / bootlegged for a small price. And this still goes on today. That was the biggest reason why Sony was having more succsess then nintendo. Because those CD rom games where able to be copied and the cartridge of the nintendo was not.

The PS games only surpassed with slightly better sound, the 64 could play high quality sound, but it was up the games developer on wether or not to use up space on the game with sound or not. That is about the only advantage the PS had, sound, particuly just music. Some people say the controllers of the PS where better then the N64, but I preffer the 64, it did take some time to adjust to it, but that is personaly taste rather then anything.

The nintendo 64 suffered a blow when more game developers wouldnt make games for the 64 anymore because it was easier to put them on a CD and develop them that way, then to program them for cartridges. So, that is not nintendos fault, that is the game developers fault for being lazy and just wanting to make quick games instead of decent and good games.

Nintendos team called RARE where the ones who always pushed the boundry on games. Just like they did with Donkey Kong Country on the SNES, they broke new ground by not just using the full potintiol of the system, but by finding ways to go beyond it's full capabilty! They released one of the best games on the 64 called "Golden Eye". The James Bond game was the 1st to use the full potentioal of the 64's capability. The game is amazing and still hard to beat by todays standards. The game did not even need the expansion pack the 64 soon offered.

The best games where coming from the game developers who put the effort into making the great games, and the playstaion never had anything as fun to play as the 64 offered. The graphics where so much smoother, the game play was so much more responsive and the fun was there. One of the first games I compared was WWF ATTITUDE. And pretty much like I said, the PS version took longer to load, wasnt as responsive, the graphics where horriblly blocky, and the only thing that was better was it had more sounds from the commentators. And maybe some of the entrance themes where longer. But apart from that, nothing (maybe video footage) but that was never apart of what you where playing which is what counted and the PS was the thumbs down, but because of people able to buy copied games, the PS became popular that new comers to the sytem THOUGHT it was the better system. It isnt.

These days the battle goes on between Nintendo, Sony & Microsoft. But I know for sure, Nintendo will always supply quality games, games worth playing, games using full potentiol of the systems capability, and most important...respect.

nice thing to have
THIS N64 IS COOL BECAUSE IT HAS A PLAIN CONTROLER AND A NICE CONTROLER PLUS THE SYSTEM OF N64 AND IF YOU KEEP BUYING GAMES YOU WILL END UP WITH A WHOLE COLLECTION OF GAMES ANDA SYSTEM OF N64. SOME OF THE GAMES FOR THE N64 ARE THINGS LIKE THIS: SUPER SMASH BROS., HEY YOU PIKACHU, STAR FOX, PAPER MARIO, SUPER MARIO 64,AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

N64 ROCKS!!!!
I love the Nintendo 64. The N64 has some of the best games like super mario 64 and the legend of zelda the ocrina of time. If you like the older systems, then you need to pick up a N64 because it is awesome!!

Amazing Console with amazing games..
The N64 had some of the best games on the planet and eventhough N64 was a great system it ended too quickly cause of the Gamecube.The N64 launched in some were in 96' and it launched some great titles and some incredible games.The N64 is one of the best systems ever but it also had a short lived history.I mean they could have come up with wayyyyyy more games No...

The N64 was one of Nintendo's finest and is probably better then the gamecube.The gamecube didn't have much launch games but N64 did.It had some amazing graphics and some really amazing games.

The N64 was at one point BETTER then Playstation and It could have but in the end the PS beat it.But make no mistake about.The N64 launched some pretty amazing games.Hell SOME OF THE BEST GAMES EVER Created.Sure N64 is old and cheap but it still has some really awesome games like

Super Mario 64
Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time(greatest game ever)
Perfect Dark
Conker's Bad Fur Day
Starfox 64
Paper Mario
F-zero X
Didy Kong Racing
Donkey Kong

and some more....

You will get your 5 bucks worth of this system and I think it should cost more then that eventhough it's out dated

It has amazing games, an amazing console and some really impressive graphics and that is why this is one of the best systems ever...But it aint' no Dreamcast I can tellz ya that.

This systems earns a 5 out of 5 stars

Let alone Getting Ocarina of time is worth this system.Get it!!

It rules!

Lates

THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Marvel vs. Street Fighter, X-men vs. Street Fighters
Those are just a few of the many great arcade classics found on sega saturn. They have been replicated on other system, but they are poorly not up to arcade standard.

By purchasing a ram card which doubles as a Japanese game converter, you can play classic arcade fighters WITH ZERO SLOW DOWN!!!! I've played a few of the 2-D fighters on sega Dreamcast and I've noticed a little slow down. That's why I still keep my saturn to play old 2-D fighters. You can purchase a Japanese ram card for a very cheap price on auction websites.

There are many other great games which do not require a ram card. Like Virtual Cop parts 1 and 2 where you can shoot bad guys and hear them scream in agony.

There is also an excellent 3-D fighting game named Fighters Megamix. Fighters Megamix takes characters from two separate games, and places them all into one game. With over 25 characters to use, this game is actually better than the Playstation 2 Virtual Fighter 4. Virtual Fighter 4 has only 16 characters.

Sega Saturn
The sega saturn system is so cool I think you should all bye one.
It has memory up to 500mb,CD rom drive,Easy controlls,And can play music CD's. I have one my self.But playstation took over them so they dont make them anymore even the game's. So I bye from ebay and cash-converters. I had to bye a secondhand one and I wish I had a new one. I love sega saturn so much I think it's better than playstation2!

Great Video Game System!!!!!!!
Despite all the other video game systems I own I wanted a sega saturn. When it came out I was in school and did not have money to bye one. And I have all my life had only a mom and she had to pay everthing on her own and could not afford one for me. It was a 400.00 video game system when it came out. Thats a lot of bread. Okay. I bought a sega saturn in a local flea maket for 25.00 used of course. I agree with one of the other reviewers that the system is well built. I was very hestient about buying a saturn because there are a few people who say thet its a bad system but I reall like it a lot. The system was very nice for back then but today look look at it and say god!!! what an ulgy system. The games don't take long to load. They load pretty fast. It has a cartridge input. It has a cartridge input which has to be for the memory card. Big memory card. I don't know. I only got the system alone without original paper work so I do not have a manuel to read. overall I have been very satstifed with my sega saturn. Its a very free promblem system. I have had 2 systems that I have had promblems with. I have to admitt that I love sega saturn more then my ps2. Great System. It was well worth the moey. Evey penny. If you are new to video games and want to bye a system then maybe my review was well worth it to you to land up byeing a sega saturn. Great System and I have allways love sega. Thet make some good video game consoles. I know because I have a gensis and a nomad. Thank you. Have a super year!!!!

One of the best!
Don't listen to those who diss the Saturn, it was a great system with great games, SEGA RULES!

The Greatest Game Console of All Time!
I own or have owned many game systems. Nintendo, Super Nintendo, Genesis, Playstation, Game Gear, Nomad, and now Gamecube and PS2. But My two favorite systems are undoubtedly the Dreamcast and the Saturn. And my favorite of the two is undoubtedly the Saturn.

The saturn was a well-built machine. Despite its internal workings being less than perfect in some ways (it was designed to work with squares rather than triangles when rendering, and had multiple processors sharing the main load) it also had some surprisingly good ideas (like built in memory for game saves and an expansion slot for memory upgrades and save backups). But what really impressed me about the hardware is the fact that even though the machine has been extinct for years, every one that I've encountered works perfectly. Now I'm sure that some of them just plain gave out, or were dropped or something. But I have never had a Saturn not load a game. I have never seen a Saturn freeze up or crash. I have never seen one stutter while playing movies. And my playstation started doing those things years ago (I finally had to get rid of it and pay for a replacement). Also worthy of mention is the fact that the original saturn controller is what I consider to be the finest designed controller in all of video game history. I fits my hand PERFECTLY. Playing games like Panzer Dragoon II, or Rayman with this controller is simply amazing. And speaking of Panzer Dragoon II...

The Saturn had what I consider to be the greatest selection of games ever. The best version of Rayman (my favorite side-scrolling game ever) is on the Saturn. Radiant Silvergun (what many consider to be the best shooter ever) is for Import Saturn. Nights into Dreams (the greatest game Sonic Team ever made) is for Saturn. And what about Sega Rally (quite possibly the greatest rally racing game ever)? Truly, when you take the imports into consideration, the Saturn had an outstanding selection of games. Whatever you want, you can get. Want fighting games? Strategy games? Side-scrollers? Arcade racing? RPGs? The Saturn delivers. Big Time.

The Sega Saturn is truly a system for the hardcore. And many games for it can be had for as little as three or four dollars. And with the system itself running about $30.00 or thereabouts for one in good shape, everyone should have one. Now if only the Price of the import games would drop a little on ebay... ... Read more

This is the best thing ever!!!
Man this item is fantastic. I love wasting $80 on pointless furniture. Getting a great cheap plastic looking set that holds all my games and systems.... Man I must be in heaven. Not only that but it breaks easily, does this thing have no limit? So I bought this great video center around a year ago.... And what happens it breaks. I had it for a couple of weeks and does it look like dog crap. It looks like you're in a baby kids room. Similar to those play centers in day cares or McDonalds. Man that is lame.... I just love having children decor in my house, and it has to be $80. If I were you.... I would just let my systems, TV, and CDs sit in some tubberware. Believe me it would be 50X safer!!

THE BEST!!
i bought this video center for my son for christmas as well a ps2 to store and at first i did not think that it would fit in the drawer part but it did but the ps2 games do not fit on the top left and right slots because of the length of the games however they do fit on the sides where you would put the vhs tapes and that is where my son has added his games so you would have to be a little creative with it. i had seen a review where a lady had bought this item for her son and she was very disappointed once she could not place the games in the slots and stated not to purchase. everyone out there! do not listen to that its a must have and it does help with organizing your room area! and the price at the time during the holiday season i could not resist for $71.99 plus free shipping! WOW!

good buy
We thought this was very handy storage.It holds all our video equiptment just right.

Idea
This looks like a great organizer, but with you people that have a x-box ps2 game cube and a dvd player you can buy cd cases that music cds come in and place the ps2 xbox and game cube games in those along with the dvds. It would be a bit of money depending on how many games and dvds you have though...

If you have a PS2, or a DVD player, DON'Tbuy this!
I was very excited when the box first arrived at our doorstep.My eight year old son and I managed to get the unit put together, after a little tugging to get some of the screws to go into place.We carried it up to his room, and put the T.V. and V.C.R. into place.My excitement turned to bitter dissapointment, however, when I tried to fit my son's PS2 games into the shelves desighned to hold CD's or VCR tapes.The PS2, and DVD cases are too big to fit into these slots. I had just not realized that they would not work with this model. The whole reason I ordered this unit was too try to organize some of the mess in his room, so this will not work for me. I will probably try to return it, and order the newer model. ... Read more

This is one of the most over looked systems.
I just got the chance to play one of the Dreamcast for the first time a little while ago. When i did, i was amazed at all it could do.

You can play dreamcast games (sonic is fun, so is jet set radio), but the best comes from how easy it is to do other things with it.

the one thing that could have made it better is DVD playback without to much work. If this system could have that, it would still be big.

Black one is cool but the original color looks professional.
I like the Dreamcast and it has to be one of the most vercitile systems ever made because you can do prettymuch anything with it, including playing DVD's. Thats if you know how to set the system up anyway. All in all, I don't think that anyone appreciates how hot this system really is and even with all the import games that it has!!

Sega Dreamcast is one of the best system ever!
A while back I really wanted a Nintendo Gamecube. But, it was [expensive]! Just for the system and a controller. I saved up my Birthday money, christmas money and allowence and only came up to [not enough money]. Darn! I was short [money]! Then I looked in EGM's "Holiday Game Guide 2002" and compared the DC to the GC. I figured that they were almost the same. Luckly, my friend down the street hd th DC so i went over to his house and played on it for a while. Finally, i mady choice. DC it is! Compared to the GC they practically have the same graphics, some of he same games(Craxy Taxi, Sonic 2 which is slightly better than the DC version)the DC had cooler pheriphals(microphone, keyboard, mouse, gun, VMU, Rumble back, go online right out of the box) and some cooler games(Seaman,Sonic Adventure, Vutra Tennis, Marvel vs.Capcom 1&2). So instead i bought a black limited edition DC at a store and bought Vutra Tennis and a VMU. And still had [money] left over. What a Bargan! Months passed and the GC went don to [less money]. And I had 5 games, 2 VMU's, 1 Rumble pack, a web browser and a keyboard. I could have waited for the GC to go down [in cost] and get only the console and the controller or i could have gotten theDC 3 games 2 vmu's and a rumble pack....i'll stick with the DC. Who knows? The GC might even come down [in price].

Cool Games
Hi I'm Johnny and from what I heard all my friends talking I would rather Have A Saga dream cast other then A Playstation

DREAMCAST SYSTEM...
THE DC COMMING AT THE SAME RANK WITH XBOX AND PS2 AND IT HAS VERY GREAT GAMES LIKE SONIC ADVENTURE 1&2 AND SOUL CALIBER AND
CRYZY TAXI 1&2 THIS IS A VERY LISS INFORMATIONS ABOUT SEGA DREAMCAST..............

Game Boy Color
I don't see all the hype in this portable gaming device. The games graphics are so terrible (So is Game Boy Advance). The only good Nintendo graphics is the brand new Nintendo DS which has Nintendo 64 graphics which isn't too shabby. But I really hate the Pocket and Color because it's a waste of money. Why would you get something in black and white with terrible graphics and then get one with only some colors (It's not that good) and plus the addition of bad graphics...now that's what I call a bad deal.

great and fun
this isnt bad i have it and it works great i think this is better then alot of older systems like game boy or super nt but still its a good system.

Ok..... but not as good as ngpc.
I got this system last year and it worked fine until a month ago. then the sound blew out. Also the graphics on many games suck. Still it's a hardysystem and I would recommend buying it if you like a classic look in color, but if you want something with good graphics, nice small comfortable size, and a motherload of great games, buy an NGCP(neogeo pocket color).

Game Boy Color Console in Atomic Purple
is very good and easy use

ITS OK BUT NOT THE BEST
the gameboy is not as good as it sounds first you can buy it cheeper other places, and there is not much things you can buy for it,& the games get boring quickly, the good things are that you can buy a radio,light rechargeable batteries,& charger for under $20 if you look otherwise it is good for starters. ...

Editorial Review

Look out, Game Boy Color. When it comes to serious portable gameplay, there's finally some legitimate competition for the popular Nintendo system (which has sold over 80 million units). If you dare to be different, consider the NEOGEO Pocket Color, a hand-held system created by the Japanese company SNK.

The screen is 10 percent bigger than Game Boy's, but the overall machine has roughly the same convenient pocket-sized dimensions and light weight as the Game Boy. The NEOGEO Pocket Color provides up to 40 hours of continuous fun on just two AA batteries. The 16-bit graphics are crystal clear--making it easy to tell the difference between humans and animals, friends and foes, and walls and doors--and easily viewed in both bright and dim lighting. The color palette has three times the range of its competitor's, with 146 possible shades. There is also a built-in calendar, daily horoscope, alarm clock, and global clock that can be accessed even without a game cartridge in the slot. Two players can go head-to-head with a simple cable connection (sold separately). NEOGEO is available in six different casing colors: silver, clear, blue, ocean blue, stone blue, and anthracite.

The only drawback is that NEOGEO is new and, therefore, playing catch-up to Nintendo's well-stocked list of titles, which boasts A-list offerings such as Super Mario Brothers, Pokémon Pinball, and Tetris. But SNK scores points for the few titles that it does offer for the system. Among the better titles for NEOGEO are Dragons Wild video poker, arcade classicsBust-A-Move and Pac-Man, and your basic serve-and-volley Pocket Tennis. Most of these games are pretty addictive and perfectly suited to the well-designed, thumb-friendly, eight-position joystick. --Carrie Bell

Pros:

• Better graphics than other portable players
• Very good visibility in bright sun and dim light
• Variety of fun colors

• No Pokémon titles yet
• Response of the joystick isn't the best on games (such as Crush Roller) that require sharp, quick turns

Great little system
I recently ordered a NGPC,received it the other day, and I must say even in though we are bombarded with the hype regarding the PSP and DS, this system still rocks. Very simple to use, and has a great library of games, which include Metal Slug, Fatal Fury, Puzzle Bobble, and SNK V. Capcom, just to name a few.
It is too bad that SNK pulled the plug on this console before it even made a dent in the US, but I think the fact that it is an "extinct" system adds remarkably to it's appeal. Get yourself one of these systems while they are still cheap and available.

Awesome Handheld
At the time when the Neo Geo Pocket Color was released, I, like many others, didn't buy it because I wanted a Game Boy Color. SNK, although extremely successful in Japan, was not able to match the popularity of Nintendo's well-marketed new handheld console in America. Sadly, SNK USA eventually went under and the Neo Geo Pocket Color disappeared from shelves.

Although the Neo Geo Pocket Color didn't sell as well as Nintendo's Game Boy Color in America, that is not to say that it didn't deserve more credit than it was given. The NGPC arguably has the best fighting game titles of any handheld console. Games such as SNK vs. Capcom: Match of the Milennium, King of Fighters R-2, Samurai Showdown 2, and Fatal Fury: First Contact are part of what the NGPC is still best known for. The built-in thumbstick also gives fighting game fans the option of straying from the traditional directional pad on a handheld console and allows for a much better way of playing the quarter-circle oriented games. Aside from the SNK fighting game titles, the NGPC hosted a slew of wonderful (and very addictive) puzzle games, including Bust-A-Move, Puzzle Link, and Magical Drop.

For some people, the problem with the Neo Geo Pocket Color was the lack of variety on the part of its games' genres. For those who weren't fans of fighting or puzzle games the NGPC really didn't have a lot to offer (at least not enough to buy what used to be a $69 console.) Although the NGPC had a fair number of sports titles and classic hits such as Pac-Man, Sonic the Hedgehog: Pocket Adventure, Metal Slug: First Strike, and Pocket Sports Series - Baseball Stars, it just wasn't enough to compete with Nintendo's ever-growing list of popular games. There were a few RPG's made for the NGPC, but most kids fell to the lures of Nintendo's new Pokemon games instead.

The Neo Geo Pocket Color has the ability to play imported games, which is very nice since some NGPC games, like Last Blade, were not released in America. The games will obviously still be in Japanese when you play them, but they can be played on the American console. My only real complaint about the NGPC is the lack of a backlit screen, but when the NGPC came out most handheld consoles didn't have that feature (if they did, they ate batteries like crazy - *cough* Sega Game Gear). The thumbstick was a wonderful addition to the console and allowed for much better gameplay than did consoles with only directional pads. Overall, the Neo Geo Pocket Color was a very sophisticated (and sadly, overlooked) console with the best good-to-bad game ratio of all handheld systems. I would recommend any serious gamer to get one, especially if you enjoy great fighting games. The Neo Geo Pocket Color didn't get all the attention it deserved, but it really did bring a whole new dimension to the world of video games.

wow, just wow
wow. this system is so cool. with a growing variety of games, and a nice portable size, you can take it anywhere. You'lle love the translucent colors too. It should be the competitor with game boy color in a few years once it gets popular. lots of sports and fighting games, and quite a few arcade games (pac-man!!). it also has an awesome screen in the beginning when there is no game in. you can use calendar, horoscope, alarm, and more. But this, and not only will you be satisfied with the results, you will be kinda like the new kid on the block that everyone oo's and aa's about. SWEET!

SNK has done it again
The Neo Geo Pocket Color easily defeats all handheld systems graphic wise. It has superb graphics with perfect coloring. The depth of each little detail is almost perfect. The Neo Geo has only a few games (30-50) but eachone is 3 times better than a Game Boy game. All people who buy a Neo Geoshould deffinetly by a SNK vs. Capcom:Match of the Millenium game to gowith it. Anyone who buys a Neo Geo is cool in my book.

A great system
Although the library of games available for the NeoGeo Pocket is small, it's a case of quality over quantity.Every game I have tried on this system has been excellent.Of course, some are better than others, but Ihave yet to play one that was a genuine disappointment.Because the systemhas more processing power and a better display than the Gameboy Color, thegames have more depth and playability and SNK has done a good job with thesmall game library, especially with the fighting games (which areexcellent) and the Sonic the Hedgehog conversion.Since I don't have themoney to buy dozens of games, the small game library doesn't really concernme.I really enjoy my NeoGeo Pocket and am glad I bought it over a GameboyColor. ...

Now this might seem kinda weird....
Kinda weird talking about a controller, and they usually arn't thought of too much. But this controller is really quite easy to get used to. In several situations, it can be used however the person wants, for comforts sake. It has the classic arrow directions, the newer joy stick, your average A and B buttons, a C button, split into 4 parts for specifics (left right up and down), the return of the L and R buttons from SNES, and a new, never before seen, Z button. All buttons are very reachable, however you choose to hold the controller. It has a total of 13 buttons and a joystick, yet they are all easily accessed. It is complex, but not complex so that things are hard to access. Everything from this point on, is the game programers idea of how it would be best to configure buttons to functions. The Z feels like a good trigger and the joy stick is great for directions in a way the key pad never was.
Another thing, for people who have smaller hands, or bigger hands, it really does not handicapt you in anyway, as some of the bigger, blukyer controlers do (Xbox). The only problom I have noticed, is with my 5 year old brother, he sometimes can't reach a L R or Z, since he is still growing, and really is too small to understand most of the games he's playing anyway.
Another plus is how all the buttons are color coded. With things like Triangle, Square, ect, I remember having big problems remembering which was which, and had to keep glancing down, handicaping me significantly. But it is easy to remember, blue is naturally down, B is a slight extention, and the c's can be felt easily, since they are close together.
To tell you the truth, I can only think about 1 time in a game where I had problems reaching something, and that was the L button while using the joy stick. Usually I just let go with my right hand and tap the L. But what I really, really want to see in the future, is a controller where I can hold it with one hand and do everything. (To use the other for pop-corn stuffing.) The N64 can be held with the left hand alone, and navigated, but the a and b are virtually impossible to tap without dropping the controller.
Enough! The point is, this is like a glove to a hand, exept it isn't warm and fuzzy. Get it in your favorite color! :-)

nothing beats thereal thing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I bought one of those imitation brands controller and it was not the same it was not accurate and the life span was short i decided to spend alittle more and get the real thing,i have no regrets,it maybe simple but its definitely the best out tnhere.......................

BEST CONTROLLER EVER!!
This is hand down the best controller (best feel and most durable)out there!

Suitable controller.
A very suitable controller for any N64 game, including high tech racing games. The joystick is flexible, and stays firm for a good while, but not for the most hardcore games. The extra buttons on the controller only come in use for particular gameplay moves and strategies. This is not common however, so the buttons are not particularly useful. The other inferior third party controllers, such as Naki International, are made poorly and break VERY easily. The control buttons also wear out rather rapidly. This type, licensed by Nintendo, takes a good amount to damage the buttons and cause wear. The entire device is nice quality, lasting longer than any controller would. The controller color does not matter, it is the same exact quality product. Buy this, and ONLY this. Happy gameplay!

so-so
It's a cool controller, I admit that, but it's kinda wierd. It doesn't have a very sturdy feel, the buttons seem weak, and the control stick made my hand ache for days. It's good, but a little crumby. ... Read more

GREAT SYSTEM ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE THE SEGA CD TOO
Sega and Nintendo were the main competitors in the 16 bit console wars and goes to show they both had good game consoles. The Sega Genesis library was filled with great exclusives like (Sonic The Hedgehog games,Splatterhouse 2,Golden Axe)and many more titles. I thought Super NES did display better overall graphics but Genesis had some great graphics for the time too,Sega Genesis did however deliver in the sound department with better music and as good a sound as the Super NES. Lastly when the Sega CD came out it was expensive but has some great games(SONIC CD,ETERNAL CHAMPIONS:CHALLENGE FROM THE DARKSIDE, FINAL FIGHT CD,LORDS OF THUNDER,SNATCHER)and more and you can play audio CD's which at the time not many people had a CD playere in there house. Overall the Sega Genesis+SEGA CD is a fun system and I would recommend Super NES also,but stay away from Turbografx,Jaguar,3d0 by all means ,I learned the hard way on those systems. BOTTOM 4 STARS IF YOU JUST HAVE THE SEGA GENESIS,AND 5 STARS EASY IF YOU HAVE THE SEGA CD! ... Read more

Editorial Review

Look out, Game Boy Color. When it comes to serious portable gameplay, there's finally some legitimate competition for the popular Nintendo system (which has sold over 80 million units). If you dare to be different, consider the NEOGEO Pocket Color, a hand-held system created by the Japanese company SNK.

The screen is 10 percent bigger than Game Boy's, but the overall machine has roughly the same convenient pocket-sized dimensions and light weight as the Game Boy. The NEOGEO Pocket Color provides up to 40 hours of continuous fun on just two AA batteries. The 16-bit graphics are crystal clear--making it easy to tell the difference between humans and animals, friends and foes, and walls and doors--and easily viewed in both bright and dim lighting. The color palette has three times the range of its competitor's, with 146 possible shades. There is also a built-in calendar, daily horoscope, alarm clock, and global clock that can be accessed even without a game cartridge in the slot. Two players can go head-to-head with a simple cable connection (sold separately). NEOGEO is available in six different casing colors: silver, clear, blue, ocean blue, stone blue, and anthracite.

The only drawback is that NEOGEO is new and, therefore, playing catch-up to Nintendo's well-stocked list of titles, which boasts A-list offerings such as Super Mario Brothers, Pokémon Pinball, and Tetris. But SNK scores points for the few titles that it does offer for the system. Among the better titles for NEOGEO are Dragons Wild video poker, arcade classicsBust-A-Move and Pac-Man, and your basic serve-and-volley Pocket Tennis. Most of these games are pretty addictive and perfectly suited to the well-designed, thumb-friendly, eight-position joystick. --Carrie Bell

Pros:

• Better graphics than other portable players
• Very good visibility in bright sun and dim light
• Variety of fun colors

• No Pokémon titles yet
• Response of the joystick isn't the best on games (such as Crush Roller) that require sharp, quick turns

Neo-geo pocket
I love the neo-geo pocket.It's very fun.As soon as it came to me I opened it.I LOVE THE NEO-GEO POCKET.BY THE WAY IT IS WAY BETTER THAN A GAMEBOY

Better Than GBC
I just was given to keep(and fix)from my cousin.I mastered Sonic after playing it on the SEGA Genesis.Samurai Showdown and King of Fighters.It's 10 times a Gameboy/GBC even htough it dont gots pokemon.But it aint no GBA

GET THIS AT ALL COSTS!
THIS IS A KILLER SYSTEM!I suggest you get this system over Gameboy color any day!The graphics are much better and the games kick!It has a world clock, alarm, and a horascope... This is a must have!

The excellence of the underdog
This is the greatest portable gaming system every made.The joystick provides amazing response to your movements and isn't so loose to be unstable (like the N64 controller).The screen is HUGE, for a portablesystem, and it's small enough to fit into your pocket, but big enough to becomfortable to hold.The software selection is also excellent, as you cansee from all the other reviews.All in all, if you need (or justdesire...) a portable gaming system, this is the one to get.No other"Game Boy Color" can beat the quality OR performance of thisbaby.

Finally, a pocket system worth carrying!
I don't know how they did it but SNK made a game system this old arcade rat loves.Forget the game boys, Neo Geo Pocket is a real grown-up with the power to deliver graphics, game play and great feel in a walkman-sizedpackage.Try Dragons Wild or Bust a Move and you'll see why this is thebest value in its class. ...

My review of a controller.
This, my friends, is a controller.

It has buttons, which if you apply pressure to using your fingers, it will cause characters on the screens to do such things as jump, kick, punch, or shoot any number of weapons.

There's a cross on it that symbolizes the sacrifice and passion that went into making this controller. That and movement for the character on screen.

There's a start button. That begins the game or pauses the action, so that the player may re-evaluate his gaming strategy. Next to it is ally and colleague "Select" which performs it's namesake - selecting positive items of interest.

There are also, on the top, "L" and "R" buttons on the top - L meaning "left" and R meaning "right." Their possibilities are endless, from moving a character to performing moves.

A classic controller. The only bad thing is sometimes my fingers hurt A LOT after button smashing on this thing. Owie...

Awesome Controller
The official SNES controller is one of the best ever. The button layout is perfect for any type of game. The controller easily fits into any size hands. They are super durable. The D-Pad is very comfortable and easy to use. Heck, the start and select buttons are even easy to reach. This controller is absolutely perfect and a must have for your SNES system. Make sure you buy two of them so you can play with your friends.
Oh and one more thing: make sure you get the real Nintendo made controller. Don't buy those cheaper "new" third party look a like controllers. They stink.

Only the NES has a more durable controller...
(Gamer since the glory days of MULE on the Commodore 64 and Space Invaders on the Atari 2600...)

Not since the glory days of my incessant SuperNES gaming have I owned a controller that I could throw into walls, concrete blocks, and run over with my car (don't look so suprised, the Street Fighter II series instilled that kind of rage in all of us!) and still have the controller work as well as it did when I took it out of the box!I bought my first SuperNES system when it first came out in 1990, and I've put countless hours of use and abuse into the original controllers that came with it.13 years later, they still work... OK.Of course, they're certainly not in as top form as they once were, but I chalk that up to not taking care of those controllers as well as I take care of my PS2 ones (well, now, Tekken Tag taught me how fragile THOSE controllers are, heh!).If I had, I bet they would still be in excellent working order instead of just fair.

I've owned a couple of off-brand controllers with various functions and whatnot, and they just don't stand up to the durability or have the comfort of the original controller.In fact, the SuperNES controller is THE most comfortable controller I have ever used on ANY system EVER (and I've played games on just about every console ever released).The PS1 controller is the only other controller that comes close.

About the only complaint I have is the short cord length (of course), but then, if ANY game system controller were made as long as they should, the companies wouldn't make near the money from extension cord sales...

If you're going to play retro, make sure you go with the original.Speaking of which, it's high time I revisit the mystical kingdom of Zeal... ta ta!

A review for a video game system controller?
This is the standard controller made by Nintendo for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES).This was the first controller made by a video game system manufacturing company (Nintendo & Sega, at the time) to have buttons on the sides of the controller where you usually put your index fingers (the L and R buttons).

Not much to say about a video game controller manufactured by the company that made the system in which the controller is used for.But I can say this:You are going to need some if you want to play video games for the SNES and if you do not trust off brand products.

solid control
I resently bought a controller for my old SNES because I broke my original one.In nearly 10 years of abuse my original controllers still worked.I threw them down on the ground, stepped on them, and even had the family pet chew on the wire.They survived all of that abuse, and still worked.The reason the one controler broke is because I slammed it on the ground, and it broke into a dozen pieces.Even still, it kinda worked.Obviously your not going to abuse your controllers like I did.But, it's good to know that you don't have to baby them.Treat them nicer than I did, and they will last a lifetime.Mine almost did. ...

Great accessory... for cheaters
The Galoob corporation, best known for being the producer of Micro Machines, decided to try its hand at something a little different in the nineties - video game enhancers. What they came up with was an accessory called the Game Genie, which allowed gamers to enter codes for different abilities in games. One of the systems that saw the release of this enhancer was the Super Nintendo. Read on for my review of this accessory.

PROS:
-The accessory easily fits into your gaming console, and your game easily fits into the top of the accessory.
-Just about every Super Nintendo game out there has some codes.
-You can have up to five codes entered at once.
-If you're having trouble in a game, more than likely there is a code that will get you around it.
-Since the unit is no longer being produced, you can snatch one up for a good price.

CONS:
-As another reviewer stated, this doesn't work with the newer, smaller Super Nintendo gaming consoles.
-You can ONLY have five codes entered at once.
-Some codes actually require more than one code to be entered, limiting the unit's effectiveness.
-The unit can cause unnecessary glitching in your games (fortunately this is very rare.)

OVERALL:
If you've got a Super Nintendo and you absolutely have to cheat at a game, you may as well cheat using the most trusted name in game enhancers! Pay a visit to your local used games shop, and they'll probably have some of these; they aren't that tough to find.

must have
it is a must have if you like to cheat at games a lot

Does Not Work on the Smaller Snes units
This is a really cool device to gain an advantage for a bunch of old but awesome snes games. Unfortunately Nintendo put a lockout chip in the last version of the Snes they released ( the smaller one with a push button reset switch )( It works on just about all of the older units with two large purple slider barswitches )
[web page] has a bunch of codes for just about any game you can think of, it also loads quick and has very little advertising.

Enjoy beating the **** out of all the games that used to be soo tough. There's even a code to beat all the Bosses in Chrono Trigger with one hit!!

Great as the next cheat thingie
This is one of the oldest cheat thingies that I know of! Even though you may not have one of the systems ( SNES,Sega,Etc...) It's can really help your friend or cousin that still holds on to their old systems out of really tight spots! They could even give you something in return! Anyways, one of the main reasons to get this old cheat thingies is that it's almost just like gameshark! It can give you unlimited lives, unlimited sheilding, invicibility, etc. but you can have a great time trying to beat a really old (but really good!) game that is really hard! ... Read more
