If you got an NES Classic, did you end up playing it much? Are you still playing it?

At first my daughter and wife played it, but then the honeymoon ended. It's more a novelty then anything else really.
Something we bought just to have more then a desire to actually use it.

Played it a handful of times, then reboxed.
Bubble Bobble is still the best co-op NES game.

I'm keeping it as my ace in the sleeve to fill out my 52 games beat this year list lol.
I keep it dusted off and plugged in, but I haven't played it since February. I honestly do mean the above, though. Planning on going through the catalog entirely with a fair amount of play starting in October.

Played through SMB1, SMB3, Zelda1, Kirby, Mega Man 2, Ninja Gaiden, a ton of hours in Donkey Kong, the first 4 hours of FF1, the first dungeon of Zelda 2 before I got lost, and all of Castlevania 1.
Definitely worth $60. Still haven't hacked mine yet.

Finished Super Mario Bros. and Kirby's Adventure. Played a few of the other games for a bit. Played it maybe for 10-15 hours total or something? I still plan on playing and finishing Contra and a few others, but mainly I wanted it cause it's a cool gadget.
I'm looking forward to the SNES mini though. Unlike most NES games, SNES games hold up pretty well. Also, I'm looking forward to play Mario RPG for the first time.

Only played it on two afternoons then it went back into the box. 16bit era was much more interesting for me tbh.

Still am! Currently playing through SMB3, Zelda II and am at the end of Metroid.
Will probably be playing it for years to come.

If only they had a way where they could release games on a digital, ever-growing service instead of asking $60-80 for a small thing with a fixed number of pre-set games on it.
Does Kid Icarus provide any other kind of relationship?

I don't know. That'd virtually be a whole console you could play.

I dabbled in most of the games on it briefly, no more than a couple hours of playtime total on it. Of course, I didn't need to have it/wasn't hunting for mine like many, I kind of lucked into one by seeing a Twitter post right as BB got stock online. It's more a decoration piece, really.

I've played it "some", about what I expected (a few hours the first day, and then an hour or so a week since, maybe?).
Now it mostly gets used for weekly knock down drag out Dr. Mario play with my GF.

Why do people buy games just to display them? Seems pointless.

is fucking maddening.

First time playing Metroid? It holds up much better than people say, IMO.
People just dislike it because it's hard, as an open ended difficult game it's beautiful and it's mechanics are solid. Some people just can't do Nintendo Hard.
Pretty much. I got it more as a collectors item/ for preservation purposes

I haven't played it as much as I thought I would. It may be sacrilege to say but I'm not really an 8-bit fan. However the SNES is way more up my street so I'll be playing that a lot!
Got my order in the night Best Buy put it up on November 11th online. Received it that Monday in the mail.
It sat in the box until Christmas, when I opened it as a gift for my family. We played and played and played all day long, but I boxed it up that night and didn't open it again until January 9th, when hakchi released.
Hacked it, added some sorely missed games (hello, Double Dribble), and played with it that weekend between my family and friends.
My wife plays it every now and again, but I didn't use it nearly as much as I thought I would and eventually will give it to my son when he's ready.
I will get the SNES Classic and probably do the exact same thing I did with it's father. (Here's to hoping that I can put Turtles In Time on it, so I can box my cartridge version up.)

Smh at all the people in here that just keep them boxed. Just scalp it and get it over with.
I love mine, but admittedly, don't play it a lot, since I still have my NES and actually have carts of 29 out of the 30 games on the Nes mini.
I had never played Bubble Bobble before and I absolutely loved it. Played it co-op my first time. Want to buy the cart now haha.
My Dad stays with me every few months and he prefers playing on it because the games look a lot cleaner. We specifically play Tecmo Bowl. A game that we've been playing for over 28 years now. It just sucks that they had to remove the names of the players, but I understand.
I did bring it with me on a trip and played it very shortly in the hotel haha.

I played it a decent amount and even loaded some SNES games on it. I ended up selling it thinking I would buy my favorites on Switch. Still waiting for that.

my posts are "MEH"
I don't understand... why buy this, especially knowing how the graphics are,only to box it after a few plays? It's as if the majority were unaware of the systems specs prior to purchasing lol.

I "hacked" mine, and play it regularly. Great Emulator and love the controller.

Probably have gotten a dozen of them. The first was for me (even got a second controller, never found another of those!), I ended up modding it to have about 90 games.
The rest all went up on eBay, save one that's sitting in its box, biding its time...
