Are you sure it's not just being rating bombed because of low stock?

The negative reviews are mainly due to the Edge Joystick NOT working on the NES Classic, not the build quality. Both the Emio Stick and Emio Pad were originally made for the Wii and WiiU as a Classic Controllers for Virtual Console games. Got repackaged as exclusive to NES Classic without actually testing.

Get the beautiful recalled Stick for your Wii while you can, some still in stock at Amazon!

Amazon at older MSRP $24.99 (out stock)
Amazon Seller at newer MSRP $29.99 (in stock)
Amazon Offer Seller $78.99 (over priced compared to Emio site)
Amazon Offer Seller $129.99 (avoid like the plague)

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LZXP8CC/re ... g=UTF8&me=

Ebay prices are averaging at around $50; suspect will go higher due to recall.

Anyone know something about this?

DOOM for NES Classic Edition??

I had no idea someone broke it open this far. I knew of a basic linux exploit with some hardware and software modding/hacking involved but that's it.

Not so long ago, someone found a way to run Doom on a photocopier!

If it can be hacked, someone will put Doom on it. :lol:

Yeah I remember seeing that it was beyond funny something like that would be playing DOOM, but as you said, if there is a way it's DOOMed to get ported to it.

I guess that gives some measure of the hardware. Back in 2006 (2003?), a camera was hacked to play doom. ~4 months later a printer could play doom. This took a week, but the hardware is comparable.

They also got Doom running on that little touch bar on the latest Mac laptop.
