Is there a forum as good as ATARIAGE, but for the NES?

[rhindlethereddragon]

AtariAge is undoubtedly the best resource, the mecca for Atari users.

 

Is there an NES forum that's done such justice?

[Austin]

NintendoAge is the closest you will get. It has a good rarity list and there are a lot of knowledgeable people there, but the site overall isn't nearly as comprehensive as AtariAge and there isn't as wide of a range of users as you will find on these forums (A lot of the regulars over at NA are younger).

[raskar42]

no

[MagitekAngel]

Yep, tried NintendoAge, and I'm not going to make calls about age, cause I'm fairly young myself here, but the boards definitely seemed a lot less mature.

Makes sense though. Since most people here grew up with the 2600, it follows that the average age would be higher than those of Nintendo, Genesis, PS1, etc fan forums.

 

Maturity though, that's a WHOLE other issue.

[Lendorien]

I'll admit that one of the things I love about Atariage is the fact that most people here are civil and fairly mature in their interactions. It's a lot different from elsewhere.

[SoulBlazer]

The NES generation is getting pretty up there also. I grew up as the NES being my main system and I'm 34. I think most people who had it as their first system are around 21-35.

Yeah, definitely.

 

With NA I think you have a lot of members that were born and raised in the Nintendo 64 era, so there's a big age difference (and thus a maturity difference? I don't know).

100% agreed.

[+Ransom]

Yeah, there's pretty much not a forum as good as AtariAge, other than AtariAge, no matter what the subject.

 

We're very fortunate.

[PFL]

Digital Press is pretty good. It may not be Ninty specific but there are a lot of Ninty geeks there and it's a pretty civil place too.

[SlowCoder]

So as far as you're concerned, the title may as well be "Is there a forum as good as ATARIAGE?", and you'd still be happy.

 

I only recently found this board a few months ago, and I consider it a gem. It is definitely different from any other board I've been on, including a few with matured nerds. The thing that strikes me is watching what people do for each other. I see the older (forum age, not personal age) people sending each other some very awesome, jaw dropping gifts, so many projects being contributed to openly, and even financial support for members who fall on hard times. This is not the Internet norm. I appreciate what I've found here.

So, we're now making a project for AtariAge called "Project: Screw NintendoAge, Make a NES Section Here, Damn It!". Sounds like a plan.

 

Actually, I love Nintendo better than Atari (so kill me, you Nintendo haters) but I like this board better. I have more fun joking around, and it's quite good here. Heck, if I had Air Raid (R10), I'd give it away.

Don't lie.

[MagitekAngel]

Oh I'd give it away all right... right to my $28 000 student debt. Worry free.

Who's lying?

 

Okay, if I had a spare.

[stephentwright]

take a gander and look on the internet or just stick with this

[Lorfarius]

Not as big as here but I recently launched a site dedicated to the UK NES scene:

 

NES-Bit

 

I've also set up a forum to go with it which isn't packed with as many members as the likes of here but I'm hoping one day it will be

 

Forum

[earthdefence]

Cant think of any other good NES specific forums... there are various good general gaming forums that have sections for the NES, for example:

 

http://www.nintendolife.com/

http://www.cheapassgamer.com/

http://www.rarityguide.com/

http://www.gamegavel.com/

 

hope this helps

From what I see, Atari Age is the best. I see Friendly people who share a passion for games here.

[ls650]

In a word, 'no'.

[tz101]

In my experience, "no".

 

Nintendo Age and Nintendo Scene are both unfriendly to noobs. No one at either site will answer your posts if you are new to the site. Snobbish, to say the least. Thankfully, people here at AA never treated me like that.

[A2600]

I was overthere for 5 days and came running back, I think we can hold our own here in the classic game section just ask your nes questions and they will be answered

[Reinhardt]

This is an awesome site.

[CGQuarterly]

My biggest pet peeve when it comes to forums is an unfriendliness to n00bs. Because of this, Atari Age is the only forum on which I regularly post. It can't be stated enough - the maturity level here is head and shoulders above any other gaming forum that I have ever been a part of. There are enough senior people here than have a wide breadth of knowledge that for me, there is no reason to go to other forums to ask most questions or discuss most topics. The only reason for me to visit other forums is to look through their marketplace section.
