1. I still have one. Plus I have an emulator and basically every ROM available for it.
If only I had a way to play my ROMs on the NES itself.

7. That is expensive...
135 bucks? Why so much more than flash carts or SD card readers for the Gameboy, GBA, or DS? That makes no sense to me.

I'm awesome at Tetris.

5. Psh. Forget the 8-bit.
There's no Nintendo like the Super Nintendo.
