That was what I gave my bro (Justin) for X-MAS. It is a really cool little machine, and it comes with the coolest instruction manual ever.

It's a manual cut in the shape of a NES game. The manual also comes with a list of all the NES games so that you can check off which ones you have. Hell, it even tells you how rare games are by a number rating system.

Does Nintendo Championship have a rating of five billion?

I heard things like how it feels cheap, the controllers are not very good, as in they feel mushy in a bad way. I've also heard that the sound and video quality isn't as good, and that it sometimes has trouble turning on.

Yeah, I think that's what I've heard too. I seem to remember some website (Lik-Sang, maybe?) refusing to sell the system because it wasn't as good as the company promised (or something like that).

I think you'll like Gamecrazy. They're the only local shop I have that sells NES, Super Nintendo, and Genesis games anymore. Gamestop and EB used to, but not anymore. Kid Icarus, Castlevania II, Zelda II, Metal Gear... ^u^
They also have cheaper prices than at other stores. You could save three bucks if you bought Tales of Symphonia here than at, say, Gamestop (Figured it out the hard way, naturally).
Just one word of warning: DON'T RESERVE GAMES THERE. When they run out of them, they don't give you your credit back. You could spend up to 50 bucks to reserve a game, but they won't give the credit back to you.

GameCrazy is something I wish was closer to my house. I say so, because I've been wanting this load of Dreamcast games since last June: Rayman 2, Power Stone (1 or 2), Space Channel 5, PSO, TimeStalkers, etc. etc. But no matter, the NEX looks nice, I might get one, but only because one of my NES cables is missing.
