Should I get an original NES

[Hobie-wan]

Pros:
-it has some PC Engine related games like Castlevania, Double Dragon II, 1943, Tiger Heli, Faxanadu, Dragon Spirit, Bubble Bobble, Life Force, Gradius, Stinger, Star Soldier, Starship Hector, Star Force, Xexyz, Bonk's Adventure, Adventure Island, Kung Fu, Klax, Jackie Chan's Action Kung Fu, Bomberman, Legacy of the Wizard, Afterburner, Fantasy Zone, Ninja Gaiden, River City Ransom, Hit the Ice, Galaga, Xevious, etc.
-the controller is similar to the PC Engine/Turbografx-16 controller.
-the RF switch will work on a PC Engine/Turbografx-16.
-you can use a PC Engine/Turbografx-16 AC adapter to power up an NES with.

Cons:
-all of these games (or sequels) are much better on the PC Engine/Turbografx-16.
-the d-pad, buttons and feel of the NES controller is not as good as on the PC Engine/Turbografx-16 controller
-the NES does not have a HuCard slot to play PC Engine or Turbografx-16 games with.
-the NES does not have a CD drive to play PC Engine CD or Turbografx-CD games with.

Conclusion: Get a PC Engine or Turbografx-16 instead of an NES

You forgot to mention that a NES power brick will not return the favor and will in fact blow up an TG-16.

Good point. That's another con for the NES. Definitely not worth getting for the thread starter.

Clearly, the PC Engine/Turbografx-16 is the better choice in this poll.
