I never realized how close the design is to the original NES until now. Just place the system on its side, put the disc tray right on the seam on the front...it'd be one sexy system. Plus, maybe if they made it the same size as the original NES, they could fit a decent-sized HARD DRIVE into it!

I do so love how small the Wii is though.

People diss the top loader because they dropped the A/V inputs so you were stuck with RF. So it has the better cart plug, but crappier output unless you mod it. Pointy corners on buttons is bad though. Otherwise it pretty much lookes like G'Nex as others have mentioned.

I like the red.

The controllers are okay. I'm sure they aren't comfortable but the original controllers weren't either.

I've seen some people dissing the top-loader NES. Why? It's still an NES. So what if it isn't the finicky, flashing front loader. I have one of each. The top loader works like a charm. The front loader is leaned against the wall (along with a Master System) and no longer works.

I had the flashing screen. Ordered the pin connector to repair it. While waiting on the connector to be delivered, one of the cats decided to pee on the NES. I get the connector and realize the feline urine issue. Take it apart, clean it up the best I can, replace the connector, put it all back together... and it still won't work.

I'm hoping the controllers are wireless, they need to be changed to the dogbone controllers that came with the top loader.

noooo top down loader was a joke of the SNES version. didn't look anything like it should.

NES front loader is the only way to go for purists.

but i guess it depends on taste.

and you can get your pin connecter replaced so you know it can play games, since the metal goes bad in there after 20+ years

yeah, i think that was the problem they were noting. the concept drawings are rather superficial in that they don't show how the lid would fit in that design. it leaves us to guess it would be in the normal spot and have the normal shape, but it should have been included, and could have been a place to be creative.
