Here's what the games will look like: http://arstechnica.com/gaming/2016/0...ole-emulation/

Improved colour matching and sharpness.

Here's a trailer too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qAGV...ature=youtu.be (looks great!)

Does it say how long the cord is for the controller? I'm assuming most of us today sit pretty far from the TV these days.

You could of course also just use a very long HDMI cable instead.

Your memory is shot hahaha. A number of teams had really good passing

Dolphins
Marino had duper and clayton who were good

Oilers
Warren Moon had 4 guys who were pretty solid with givens and hill

Dallas, Rams, Bills, Giants, and skins were all good catching squads be it WR or TE

Good idea in theory but do we know how long the power cord is?

As someone who isn't into American football and never played a video game of it, Tecmo Bowl looks really fun. Even Family Guy used it and exposed how OP Bo Jackson was. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HKt-...ature=youtu.be

I won't go into the details but those images are doctored to make the VC ones look worse than they really are.

It uses a regular USB cable for power. So that isn't a problem either.

I found cord extensions for Gamecube controllers, but couldn't find any for Wiimote / Classic Controller cables.

Need Final Fantasy.

I just hope Nintendo can supply the demand for this. I think they'll make it limited just to piss people off.

49ers - QB Montana, WR Rice, WR Taylor, RB Craig S Ronnie Lott

Miami - QB Marino, WR Duper, WR Clayton Def

Oakland - RB Bo Jackson (Unstoppable) Def Howie Long

NY Jets - RB Freeman McNeil Def Mark Gasteneau Def Joe Klecko

Seattle - WR Steve Largent LB Brian Bosworth S Kenny Easley

Bears - RB Walter Payton DL Richard Dent LB Mike Singletary

That's all I can remember....its been a while!

I did mention Miami so my memory is not THAT shot..

Passing was generally more difficult than running the ball...especially if you had one of the unstoppable RB's...

No offense to the mods but was it really necessary to sticky the ONLY three threads in this entire sub-forum getting replies? it's not like they are in any danger of falling off the front page you know what I mean.


Anyways this thing looks pretty cool I now know what I am getting everyone for Christmas.

Up for pre-order at Toys R Us. Qualifies for free shipping.

I'm not familiar with TRU's shipping process but this might be a good backup option for now until you can definitely secure one from Amazon or Best Buy.

Edit: Pre-orders sold out already
