Would you pay $450 for a Portable N64?

Well apparently someone would.

Portability is nice and all, but it looks like something you could build yourself fairly cheaply yourself. Especially if you read that book by Ben Heck that tells you how to basically build portable versions of various old school consoles.

Heck no I wouldn't. I won't pay that much for any system unless it's a PC.

No, because you can buy one for $160, lol it's called the 3DS :p

Not even close! I can go to a store and buy a regular N64 for 40-60 dollars.rwallacefan

AND have money left over for "Blast Corps", the best game on the system.

Nope. I was never much of a fan of the system to begin with. I also wouldn't pay $450 for any system.

I'd just make my own. Get an n64 for like $50, look up some tutorials, buy some molding, screen & a battery(~$100) & ur good to go. Might take a while, but it beats paying 450.

That's what i was thinking. It doesn't take to long if you pay attention and learn a bit. And that red case looks like a old radio. The guy that made it put a lot of work into it.

yeah it takes about 1 or 2 months depending on how consistent u are. Btw i just noticed i siad "I'd just buy my own." instead of "i'd make my own" woopsies :P

I don't know, that really depends on your experience, how much time you have on your hands and how fast you can aquire the parts. I mean, i can build a arcade cabinet using some parts from a computer and some software, for me to learn that it took me about a week. I am actually planning to do just that, just need to buy a few more parts.

I saw a video series on Youtube of a guy making a PC into a NES case. With the GameEX front-end installed (its a home theater software), it's basically a console. He hooked it up a PC.

It was really really cool to see how much creativity, and passion, one guy can have wen building stuff like this.

Um.....hell no. Wouldn't that just be a glorified DS anyway?

OK. So it's a little bit different than what I thought. It looks kinda cool actually. And has a PS1 nub! LOL Anyway, I still wouldn't pay that much for it. In fact, I've never paid or let my mom pay for a system over 250 dollars as far as I know.

No, I'd just go to a garage sale and buy a normal N64 for $10.

It doesn't even look very nice or seem comfortable.tomarlyn

Custom made portables are kinda of neat. I would just stick with the original Nintendo 64. (In a way the Nintendo DS is the thing closest to a portable N64) in terms of processing power. Plus there is a Super Mario 64 port.

I think I could be convinced to pay a hundred bucks for such a thing but not $450. Still, I am jealous of whoever gets it.

That thing seems pretty cool. But it's not worth that much money.

No, that "portable n64" is only worth $200 if u ask me. and I wouldnt even pay that. I have a GBAsp and a PSP and thats enough for me.

No and that screen is small.BranKetra

[QUOTE="BranKetra"]No and that screen is small.Darkman2007

no i wouldnt pay 450...

looking at the red portable in bad condition and small screen..i wouldnt buy that at all

NOPE!

NOPE!

Heck no, and it looks so badly built. You can see all the glue marks on it. I'd be ashamed to use that and think it was cool.

Wow, at $450 I was expecting the item to at least look good. Sheesh. What a POS.

Yeah, I'll pass. I just do console gaming these days.

I would buy a fairly nice laptop for $450,and that laptop would play N64 games if I so chose.

Woud I pay more than the orginal launch price of the system just to have it portable?

No. I wouldn't.

No, $450? I could get like 3 3d's for that much 8)

With the kind of money I make now? Heck no. If I was really wealthy and had lots of money to spare...maybe.

Heck no. My parents didn't even pay that much for my system when I got it two years after its release.
