    Owning a Nintendo 64 is a pretty big hurdle. Have you seen how much those fucking things cost now?!

        If you can manage to find a place that has one, they’re usually selling for $200+ now. I’m pretty sure I can get ebay chinese replicas for like $50 though, but there are some games they won’t play.

          The N64 had a $200 launch price, which is pretty much $400 now. So nobody is making money from holding onto their N64. Hrm, maybe I should pick one up.

          Prices have come down in the last year. I see several on eBay listed tested/working for around $60. One even comes with a controller. Shopgoodwill.com has similar prices when they’re available. Prices for auction items with less than 10hrs look very reasonable.

      I regret selling mine when I was 17 cause I wanted to buy a paintball gun and gear. At the time, it was a great call cause I didn’t play any N64 games at the time, and I got to have a blast playing paintball with my friends.

      But man I wish I’d sold something else back then so I could still have my original N64 and games. Still got the ol’ NES and Sega Genesis at least.
