F' it. I think I'm going to go ahead and throw down on one. What color cart did you get Tre? Blue or Grey? I'm going to get Bubble Bobble and Gun. Smoke as well then take a long hiatus on "collecting"Originally Posted by treismac
Just looking at the dip switches on my freshly opened copy that my wife gave me for Christmas this year makes me feel all kinds of warm and fuzzy.
I love NWC, and I have gone through phases of playing it on emulation, trying to reach a higher and higher score. Would I have preferred that my wife grabbed it for me for $10? Of course, but there is no other recourse if I want to play the game on my NES unless I buy a Power Pak, which I fear would be the death of my collecting, so I'm staying clear of it. I say if you love playing NWC, get it. Otherwise, pass. I know I'll get my (or, rather, my wife's) money's worth.
Just out of curiosity, how much does an original NWC go for?

Oh...$10k would probably grab one of the gray ones.
Mine is bluish as there was no option for a more authentic looking grey or gold one.
Yes, and for good reason.
I think the ones from retro zone can come in grey or blue, either way they scream reproduction with the labels and such so there would never be any possible way to pass it off as an original
Yes, yes. God forbid that some putz with too much money might purchase a counterfeit NWC and then slab it, rendering it unplayable.
The dip switches are located in a different area on the repro cart so I think it was an unnecessary measure, but whatever keeps the over anxious collectors from having panic attacks, I suppose.
I did see where the same NWC repro's anyone can get for $55 are being bid on currently for $96 on ebay.
On a side note how much do you think Thors' golden Mario trophie would go for that he won in the NWC?

I don't think just the repro being in a gray or gold shell would fool an actual collector looking for one. But, someone who knows about the NWC cart but never entertained the idea of buying one (like me) and wouldn't really know where the dip switches are supposed to be, could probably get tricked into spending more than $60 on one, thinking it was worth thousands.Yes, yes.
