Always cool to see the NES make major news outlets, especially when it's the New York Times.

NintendoAge? |

If anyone out there is reading this, can you email me and let me know what happened with NintendoAge? It was, hands-down, the best NES resource on the Internet,
even better than yours truly. In fact, NA was SO comprehensive that it's the reason I actually stopped updating NES HQ for years. Now that it's gone I might try to get back to updating this site daily
since there doesn't seem to be an equivalent site to NA.
Anyway, yeah, if you know, shoot me an email. Thanks!

Hack A Day has an article on the new open source NES motherboard. From the article:
The OpenTendo is a completely open-source replacement for an original front-loading Nintendo Entertainment System motherboard, using both original or after-market Nintendo CPU
and PPU chips, and other still readily available components.

It's a little slow around these parts today, so this will have to do: Emoyan no 10 Bai Pro Yakyuu

If you've got $500 to burn then perhaps this metal NES is for you.

Hardware Thursday |

Is hardware Thursday a thing? It is now! First, the badass NES mouse, which -
unlike a lot of these awesome pieces of hardware that spring up - is reasonably priced. And secondly is this freakin' sweet
Megatron Zapper. Hell yes!

Happy Birthday! |
1/29/2020 |

In my haste to finally update the site for the first time in almost a year I forgot to wish NES HQ a happy birthday.
Although updated a lot less frequently than it used to be (hopefully that's changing), NES HQ celebrated its 17th birthday earlier this month!
The site is, unquestionably, the oldest NES-specific site still out there. While some incredible NES resources have sprung up since its inception (looking at you, Nintendoage),
NES HQ is the last of it's kind - the sole remaining site from a time in the early 2000s when there was a diverse collection of NES fan sites operated on myriad hosts - Geocities,
Angelfire, etc. I plan to keep it operating for the foreseeable future and, as mentioned yesterday, hope to start updating it regularly again. There is an 'end state' for this site, and it
looks something like finally having every game up on the site. So that's the goal and I hope to make significant progress towards said goal this year.
