Where can I find a Super Nintendo console these days?

[Macethy]

Morning everyone,

So I woke up today and felt very nostalgic to play some old school Nintendo games like Tetris, Super Mario, Mappy, etc.

I was wondering if anyone could help me out as to where I can find the old Nintendo (tv games as I used to call them) or Super Nintendo consoles for sale and a few games? Any websites or local shops would be greatly appreciated! I tried Bid or buy and Gumtree but it didn't turn up much. Also, I don't have an Android phone so downloading the emulator is also not an option.

Thanks in advance!

You don't have a PC/laptop? Emulators aren't confined to Android phones.

I do have both a PC and laptop, but I want the old school feel of the controller and the cartridges

I think Mappy and Super Mario were titles primarily on the NES, not SNES.

Most Chinese shops carry clones of the NES with cartridges & the Zapper gun. They are of poor quality and don't last long but are cheap - if you pay more than R100 for the system, controllers, Zapper and game (9999999999-in-1 ), you are being done-in.

Otherwise, download an emulator (I personally use NESTopia) and get ROM's from here: http://www.romnation.net/srv/roms/nes.html

Awesome thanks! Now I just need to find a Chinese shop in my area (Edenvale) or take a trip to the China mall. If all else fails the emulators will have to do.

Cartridge I don't know, but a dual stick Logitech controller feels pretty good. And the graphics can be improved a lot from the original as well.

OR... get a Wii and a Classic Controller and buy them in the Wii store.

I've seen them around at fleamarkets and what not, but one question, are you perhaps entering mid life crisis? hehe

Mid life crisis at 26? Could be...

Awww so nobody could help me out with a website

Oh well, emulators here I come...

Just remember to blow on the cartridge if it gives you trouble

Ah nostalgia!

I still have my old Nintendo console

I've seen a couple of cartridges in checkers and some pawn shops
