I still have my NES, lol. But to be honest I'd more recommend going with Virtual Console as the games are less likely to glitch out or go with a more stable pirate console like the retron 5.

I still have my original NES which I use a lot and still buy games for, but some time I'll be buying an American NES as there are quite a few US exclusives that I want to try. Also lots of games are cheaper for the American version compared to the European ones.

I don't believe they're region locked,and if they are there are tons of adapters out there that'll let you play them and they usually go for about 20$ not really worth getting a new console in my opinion.

Yeah, disabling the lockout chip has been recommended to me before, but there are certain games that don't work properly doing that. I'm not sure what ones are affected though so I'll have to try and find a list of ones that are, so I can see if any of the games are ones that I'd want to play :)

Ah, in that case I'd recommend buying this http://www.amazon.com/NES-Retro-Entertainment-System-Black-Nintendo/dp/B002RYLG4Q It's essentially a cheap NES, there are a couple small color problems but by changing the display mode (If you have an old TV) to movie, it'll fix them, the only game incompatible with it is Castlevania 3 which to my knowledge is available in europe.
