I guess the only positive thing about this gizmo is if your wanting to take the nes on the go, this thing would come in handy. Plus it frees up the pain of cleaning the carts and reinserting the cart each time you want to play a new game, but there is no fun in that! Awesome video, and didn't mean to sound negative, just giving you my 2 cents regarding Emulation which soul purpose is to preserve the classics in gaming, and not for profitable reasons, and hope you understand.
Its an interesting idea and cool item, although I dont know why some one would want to pay that much for something that is all Emulation based and totally violates Emulation and why its sole purpose is shareware and that company is selling it for profit when they downloaded the nes roms on there free and paid nothing whatsoever, when we can play nes roms on the DC or on the computer. Plus there is no fun in collecting the original nes carts. Its a cool idea, but shouldn't cost that much, rip off
Mah gawd, who doesnt know about NES? it was one of the most popular consoles of the 80ths! Jesus! I am 13 and I didnt live in the 80ths, but i love those good old 8-bit and 16-bit games and well that new stuff they make today its okay i guess but grafics dosent make the game better! And you know i really want to live in the 80ths! .....ehhh sorry geek rage! :3
@retropirate1 You're not alone. I'm 16 and even I have to admit that those classics are by far the greatest. They can make better graphics, but not better games.
@smeckaldorf It makes perfect sense to use a rom over the orignal if your a collector, And what if you have a sealed copy of a game, like you would open it just to play it when you have access to one of these, remember NIB is worth more to a collector then one that has been open or has no box.
@smeckaldorf actually if you own the cart of the said game you can have a back up of it. its only illegal if you have the rom and not the cart. and this device is not illegal, think of homebrew, how else are you suppose to play them if not using a emulator.
@SumDuDe34 A emulator is nice and all but it doesnt match playing on real hardware. You dont have to be a collector to own a NES or other retro system. A current and retro gamer plays any and all games old and new. These games are better on real hardware over emulation. Emulation is for people that do not own or have a broken system.
@SumDuDe34 I collect NES game and I think this is a great item. With it I can play hacks and patched roms on my actual NES, I can also play games that are now too expensive or rare. :)
oops noticed some typos there in my last comment lol, its 1985 not 86 and its OFF eBay not OF eBay XD, O and something occurred to me The legality of Nes roms have been renewed since the release of the Wii making products like this illegal since you have to download the roms, and the only way to make it legal is to own the game...so if you own the game JUST PUT THE GAME IN YOUR SYSTEM !!!!!!
wow this is some real expensive shit...you would think for 135$ they would give you a compact flash card to, o i dunno USE IT!!!!!....also personal experience is no excuse for fact....Nintendo and the NES is the most recognizable game system ever made next to Atari and its 2600. also its main run was from 1986 to 1995 making it a product of the 80s NOT 90s.... this product is a waist of money, you can get a nes with games of eBay for at most 60$...... and yes im ranting cus im bored lol
I have whats known as a Retron3 (NES\SNES\GEN) I bought it mainly because my real systems broke. *I play WAY too much* I want the three versions of these flash carts, I am hesitant to get them (Price wise) and the fact that they might not work on the retron, has anyone used one with these carts?
um 90's? um no late 80's, best selling until the wii? nope. pin connectors wearing out is liable on all cartage based systems. The powerpak is geared tors the programmers& ppl who like to play hacks and homebrew not the collector. collectors usually frown down appon things like the powerpak because it still is not the same thing as a hard copy of the game
@NeptuneNavigator01 if your talking like world champions and things like that a collector usually would go for a reproduction cart. You are also forgetting about the games that where discontinued that can only also be emulated or reproduced. But 7/10 collectors are going to go get a reproduction cart over the emulated versions.
@Bob0p I am aware of the discontinued games. I was thinking more along the lines of Bubble Bobble Part 2, and other rare games like that, that not everybody can afford with a limited budget. That's one game, for example, that's highly sought after, but is rare and therefore expensive.
@NeptuneNavigator01 Yes like I said a collector would go with a repoduction cart over a emulator because atleast they can sell the reproduction cart for a little more than a usual game and still be able to play it. Playing the orignals like world champions and Bubble Bobble runs the risk of damaging the cart and the carts go for really high prices.
There's only 2 issues I have.. 1) Does this play off the actual hardware, or is there an emulator built in the powerpak? If so, it's almost pointless. and 2) Still debating if I'd want something like this, or still just get the actual games themselves.
With the batteries on NES games not working anymore, I have not had that problem yet with the NES games I bought in the 80s like Zelda, Dragon Warrior III or Final Fantasy they still save and kept some of the saves from back then.
Silly unknowing man, NES came out in 1983 and did not stop being developed and shipped until 1995 in America and 2003 in Japan. It to this day is the #1 selling console ever developed.
At everyone bitching about cost, it only shows how you know shit about nothing. The powerpak is a lot more complex than those SD card readers for the DS, for example. Currently it's compatible with 97.65% of the US releases. For the exact list of games that are incompatible, check the NintendoAge forum, in the "Gamer's Gauntlet", it's one of the threads at the top.
it was one of the best selling consoles till the original PLAYSTATION destroyed all of its sales records. NOT the wii. and boy, is that power pak case design ugly! i made my own case design for it and looks far superior! see my channel for the video ;)
You neglected to mention that the Powerpak plays Famicom Disk System games. That was the main reason that I bought one. Also if you Google around there are people who have improved the mapper compatibility.
i got my nes powerpak now , i tested adventure island 1,2,3,4 journey to cilius,rescue rangers1 etc,,, and they work great,that,s absolutely fantastic.
youtubers this is how to put roms on the cf card to make it work
1 unzip the roms.
2 they must be in nes fortmat.
3 prg & chr ram of roms can be not bigger then 512 kb
4 only supported mappers with those roms will work.
5 be sure those roms are NOT broken.
6 never put those roms inside the powerpak mappers,put them next too it.
i would totaly buy this if i could find a NES thats the problem one that works i have a atari 2600 and a sega saturn also a n64 and a few more older game stations but i love this one it would totaly be worth the money if i had a nes 150$ i cant even buy a good cell phone for this much this is history to bad i cant find a NES anymore......
If your going to download and put games to use on the NES Powerpak, then you should just use an emulator. I saves money, time, hassel, and it's much more useful. You can record, use GameGenie Codes to your will, and use Savestates. So much better, cheaper, and faster.
why in the fuck would u pay 135 bucks to play nes roms on a nes when u can play them on ur computer for free wtf and the nes was popular in the Late 80's u fuckin idiot and as far as it being the best selling console since the wii came along wtf have u ever heard of the SNES or nintendo 64 u dont know shit about nintendo u fuckin prick
I got one too and the memory card reader was broken. I've tried contacting RetroUSB for 2 months and they never replied to a single e-mail since they got my money. Terrible ripoff.
I went to a Retro store today, (FF3/FF6 for SNES was $50 alone) so if you tend to play many games, the Powerpak will actually save you money. 3-5 Really Popular SNES games would = 1 SNES powerpak. Regular NES good games were about $20 and some games like Contra or Link-Zelda will sell from $30-40 so maybe 6-7 NES games would = 1 NES Powerpak
So even tho $135 seems pricey, it's actually very cheap considering you can have EVERY NES game every made, as with the SNES pak.
@commodore256 Was Probably most popular in the early 90's, what with the world championships, and Nintendo Power, and most of the super seller games like Mario 3 really hitting the mainstream market, not just kids and gamers.
@thatguyontheright1 if you wanna play by that logic, "Battle Kid: Fortress of Peril" is said to be the first new NES Game in 15 years. (it's on the retro usb site)
so add early 201x. (megaman reference)
The way I see it is, the NES was in the same place in 1995 as the PS2 is right now in 2011, The most main-stream system despite it's age.
Even though we had PS1s at that time, people still had their nintendo. same goes for the PS2, there's 150 Million PS2s and Wii has only 86 million.
@Masterguy1243 I never said that it will never sell more than the Ps2 you know that the ps2 is 10 years so you must also know that 100k console sold every month not in the rate in wii numbers i know but 150 millions is a big number.
I see this on Retrozone all the time and never knew exactly what it was until now. Pretty cool, but I prefer the actual physical games ANY day.
I noticed this said the words GAME GENIE on it. Does it also have a built in Game Genie or something? Also, how do you PUT the games onto the card? These are all things I don't remember you mentioning.
I guess the only positive thing about this gizmo is if your wanting to take the nes on the go, this thing would come in handy. Plus it frees up the pain of cleaning the carts and reinserting the cart each time you want to play a new game, but there is no fun in that!

@commodore256 Was Probably most popular in the early 90's, what with the world championships, and Nintendo Power, and most of the super seller games like Mario 3 really hitting the mainstream market, not just kids and gamers.

@starwarsfanclub1977 yeah, but the NES was released in 1985 and the SNES came out in 1991, so it was a baby's toy by 1992.

@commodore256 More like mid 80's to early 90's. NES came out in 1985. The Famicom came out earlier.

@greedostick The Super Nintendo came out in 1991 and the Genesis came out in 1989, so by the early 90's, the NES was a baby's toy. (BTTFII Reference)

@commodore256 The last game on the NES came out in 1995, so he is partially correct.

@thatguyontheright1 if you wanna play by that logic, "Battle Kid: Fortress of Peril" is said to be the first new NES Game in 15 years. (it's on the retro usb site)
so add early 201x. (megaman reference)
The way I see it is, the NES was in the same place in 1995 as the PS2 is right now in 2011, The most main-stream system despite it's age.
Even though we had PS1s at that time, people still had their nintendo. same goes for the PS2, there's 150 Million PS2s and Wii has only 86 million.

@maxmax33 Ever heard of PS2 is 10 years old and the Wii isn't even 4 yet? The Wii is going to outdo the PS2 easily.
Masterguy1243 1 year ago
@Masterguy1243 I never said that it will never sell more than the Ps2 you know that the ps2 is 10 years so you must also know that 100k console sold every month not in the rate in wii numbers i know but 150 millions is a big number.

I see this on Retrozone all the time and never knew exactly what it was until now. Pretty cool, but I prefer the actual physical games ANY day.
I noticed this said the words GAME GENIE on it. Does it also have a built in Game Genie or something? Also, how do you PUT the games onto the card? These are all things I don't remember you mentioning.

@MrHossCartwright yeah it supports up to 5 Game Genie codes at a time

@greenyoshi64 CF's much much faster for this purpose, you wouldn't want to wait while the roms load off of SD, it would've taken a minute plus.

@greenyoshi64 they did not use a sd card due to the faster write time of CF Cards.
