But if you really don't want to go through all that just to play some NES games, keep reading. You can find repairs online, and even replace the NES's PPU module with mods for RGB/HDMI output ( see here). It also displays faint vertical "jailbar" lines across the screen, which is annoying. However, it has its own faults, namely the fact that it doesn't have an A/V output, but instead a R/F output, so no RGB output. Without the 10NES, Americans can play PAL region games, although some games will either glitch or not play at all. It was fashioned to look more like its successor, the Super Nintendo, and not only that, but it also eliminated many of the issues of the original design. In 1993, Nintendo released the NES-101, known simply as "the top-loader". Both of these issues makes maintaining the NES a pain-in-the-ass. This is caused by the connectors being dirty and bent due to age. It also caused the blinking red power light effect, in which the system appears to turn itself on and off repeatedly. It was made because Atari "gave too much freedom to third-party developers and their market was swamped with rubbish games", even though people have found ways to circumvent it, making it all for naught.
It also has that 10NES lockout chip that prevent unlicensed and foreign games to be played.
The US and PAL versions has a design flaw within its front-loader, where the connector pins wear out through repeated usages (read here for more details). Either way, its a collector's item at best, and purists have argued that the NES Classic's short cable lengths, small library, and emulation leaves much to be desired, though if you're looking to getting into the NES library, the NES Classic Mini is a good starting point. Whether you think it was retarded or a deception motivated by a "supply-and-demand" scheme is up to you, but needless to say, it was announced that Nintendo would be restocking the NES Classic sometime around 2018. And to make matters worse, it was discontinued many months later. However, the damn thing sold out very quickly, and scalpers sold them at higher prices, which pissed off a lot of people. In July of 2016, Nintendo announced the NES Classic Mini and released it on November that same year. Of course, if you lived in Europe, feel free to remember things a bit differently: it didn't get as much traction there, trailing not only the Master System, but a variety of home computers. Even though its main competitor, Sega's Master System, had better specs, the NES had a much wider game library, thanks to colossal third party support. Often called the machine that resurrected a dead industry, the NES was the uncontested winner of its generation.
