New NES console knockoff is a lemon
What do you get for $59.99? Heartache, that's what.
The Generation NEX console is a failed attempt to clone Nintendo's classic NES system. Gamers are supposed to be able to plug their Famicom and NES carts directly into the thing and play happily, but unfortunately the console just doesn't appear to faithfully render games, with reports of a mushy controller and abundant graphical and sound glitches surfacing.
Retro gaming is all the rage these days what with homebrew, emulation, ROMs, the Atari Flashback, and crazy eBay auctions. Let's hope the Colecovision resurrection doesn't flop as well, or gamers are going to quickly learn to ignore all third-party attempts to revive old consoles and will be trained to think that emulation is the only way to go.
