    I've generally found that if you're tv has a game mode and you use that setting it's fine. In my experience, this lag thing is a newer problem. My older hdtvs don't have these fancy hdr settings, and the games run fine.

    This article does a good job of illustrating the better alternative. http://arstechnica.com/gaming/2016/1...-and-retropie/

    That's more or less how it was with my old 27"? Panasonic Viera, an old 720i/p set I had from the mid 00s. I never even thought to disable the filters as it had none other than one for running movies for MPEG which old consoles wouldn't trigger. It ran Punchout as nice as the WEGA that it replaced when its board that turned it on fried out. Far as I'm concerned if any TV can handle Mike Tyson in Punchout, it's lag free enough for pre-HD gaming. I had to hunt to get the answer when my kid accidentally cracked the screen like 2 years ago as I knew it was a thing by then.

    So. Almost 2 weeks into the new year and not a peep from Nintendo. They sure like to have the rep guy and Miyamoto on late nite talk shows talking about a lame mobile game and an upcoming handheld.

    Nothing on the crap they're pulling with this NES mini thing? I see ALOT of people are pissed. If you can't keep up with supply and demand then say something. It is so hilarious, missing out on making money. The interest is gone now.

    They'll probably roll out millions in February, when nobody gives a fuck anymore and are looking towards the new handheld.

    For real? 4-5 skus per retailer? Who the fuck do you think you are?

    Funny Best Buy a few miles from here before Christmas didn't get 4-5, they got 45. The roll out around the country per store was a minimum of 12 and a max of who knows what (at least 45.) There's no excuse for the shortage, but the numbers were higher than given credit. I think the problem is they slashed 3DS creation temporarily, killed the WiiU, and they're doing the slow roll on the NES because they need to get Switch units done by March 10th/17th whenever it pops mid month. Given it's looking to be a cheap $250 system, they need to meet demand.

    According to a GS employee I chat with, Nintendo ceased production on these things. Great job and great showing. Nintendo loves the resellers.

    They're also keeping retailers up in the air about shipments regarding their new faulty Switch system. Great job on that. It's not a matter of if, but when they will throw in the towel.

    I got to soda popinski in 1 life using the avs, so I think we're good.

    @fieryreign: the fanboys expect so little from Nintendo that they think it's basically ok to fuck the public with no risk of future sales because of blind loyalty. This isn't the last time we'll see something like this. It sucks anyway. My wife scored me a Famicom Mini and trust me, it's nothing to write home about.

    I don't have links at the moment but someone did hack it and put about 60 games on it before the menu went apeshit. Again, My AVS can play HUNDREDS with a flash cart, has adjustable expansion audio and scanlines. Folks, it's an amiibo that plugs in.
