atarilovesyou Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 I realize that this is Atari Age, but I have often wondered why there isn't a separate section for all things NES. If this question has been brought up and beat to death, I apologize. The thing is that the Coleco has its own section, the Intellivision...and the later systems have High Score Clubs, which are great. It's just that a lot of my NES related posts have only one place to go, and that's in the Classic Gaming General section. It's not a bad option, but I wonder if there's another way. I've gone over to Nintendo Age, or whaterver that site is called...it's just not much fun, no offence to those running the show. I come here for pretty much all my retrogaming fixes; one-stop shopping if you will. And having a section here might bring more people in general to this site because I haven't found any place out there that has the same flavour as AA...and there's tons of NES fans as we all know. Any thoughts? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rev Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Hey, there is already a Genesis section!!??? I forgot about that. And already an NES high score section....it would be very easy to add an NES section....I know.....I started my own forum...it is VERY to add/remove/change sections. It would literally take me less then 5 minutes on my forum to add a few sections. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dendawg Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 (edited) True, an NES section could easily be added. The question is....why?? There's already a Nintendo Age website, and IMHO these boards already have too many sub boards as is..

high voltage Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 I want a SMS section please. And a Game Boy section. Can I have a Game.com section too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagitekAngel Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 On one hand it's an Atari site. But on the other hand there's a Genny sub, and I'm pretty sure an NES sub would see just as much traffic. But on the other other hand once there's an NES sub, people will want an SNES one, then a TG-16 one, then a Neo-geo one, then a Gizmond- wait, what am I saying, nobody would want that! Hmm....

snstay Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 yes i agree about having a site here for nes. Going to NA is alright , but i would rather stick with this site. (seems a little more mature IMO) Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pong Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 I'm on AtariAge, NintendoAge, and SegaAge. In order of maturity, it's NA, then SA, then here. I'd love to have a board here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CGQuarterly Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 I support this idea, as well. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlowCoder Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 I also believe it would benefit. But I don't think it should just be NES. It should be Nintendo, all classic consoles. Same as I'd have been happy with the Genesis forum being everything Sega, to include SMS and GameGear. And I'm sure there would be plenty of conversations to continue in the main classic gaming forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

godslabrat Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 I'm neither for nor against an NES forum, but I fail to see the logic in having a genesis forum but not a SNES one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for a ranking, in maturity, I'd say AA>NA>SA>S16. For humor though, I'd say S16>NA>AA>SA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeculiarSatyr Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 I'm neither for nor against an NES forum, but I fail to see the logic in having a genesis forum but not a SNES one. Someone above mentioned turning the genny forum into a Sega forum (master system and mega drive and game gear). and starting a new Nintendo forum (NES, SNES, Game boy) That seems to be the best solution 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
accousticguitar Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 It just seems wrong somehow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+jeremiahjt Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Or we could turn the Genesis forum into a 16 bit forum for Genesis, SNES, and TG-16. Then add an 8 bit forum for NES and SMS. I can't imagine a better way to start flame w... I mean great discussions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though, TBH, I really don't have a problem with things as they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DemonoidTentacle Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 I'm neither for or against it, I really don't see why there is a Mega Drive/Genesis forum though, it's not all that active. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
