[edit] rv image replacement

The originally-included image (Image:Nes 2.PNG) was blurrier, I agree, but it also shows a better view of the item. The image replacing it (Image:Toploader.jpg) is clearer, but not as well representative of the item in question as the original was in showing the entire product, the controller mechanism, etc. — THOR 14:37, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I have a top loading NES and a digital camera, I could try to take some photos if someone thinks they could be used in this article, let me know what you want to see. Stardust8212 15:24, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

If you could simulate the current picture, minus the blur, that would be superb. --Thaddius 14:18, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Merge suggestion

I see someone has tagged the article with a {{mergewith}} request. In practice, I'd agree that the information belongs with the main Nintendo Entertainment System article, but the simple fact is that the NES article is already lengthy, and throwing in everything from this page would likely make it far too much to handle. It's a simple issue of practicality, and it's a lot less arbitrary than a number of other ways in which we could split the articles. So I'm going to voice my opposition to the request. – Seancdaug 16:29, 28 September 2005 (UTC)

I also vote to keep it separate. --Shinyplasticbag 22:51, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

Keep it seperate. --User: Me.

I think it should definitely be merged with the AV Famicom page, though. The systems are virtually identical, and the NES and Famicom share a page, after all. Merging the articles would also present a good opportunity to change the name of this article. The redesigned NES was never officially named the "NES 2," and considering the very real possibility of the Nintendo Revolution being named the "NES2," it might be a good idea to avoid any confusion by choosing a more accurate name for this article.

The AV Famicom and NES 2 are fundamentally different in a number of ways, and therefore the pages on the two units should not be merged. Here are the major differences: 1) NES 2 plays NES carts, AV Famicom plays Famicom carts, 2) the top of the NES 2 where you plug in the cartridge is rounded, whereas in the AV Famicom it is flat to accommodate the Famicom Disk System adapter, 3) the AV Famicom has AV plug video only, NES 2 has RF-out video only, and 4) the NES 2 lacks the 15-pin accessory port that the AV Famicom has on its right side (the port was never on any US hardware). -Smiley

If those differences are enough to keep the "NES 2" and AV Famicom, why do the NES and the Famicom share a page? They're entirely different designs! The AV Famicom and "NES 2" are slightly modified versions of the same design. Roboman 23:56, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

If we had a picture of the NES 2, that might help. --myselfalso 22:45, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

Why not merge them, but put each under different sections and call it "NES redesigns"? --Mr Toasty 18:26, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

Seperate I vote seperate because the differences they contain from their originals are vastly different, and there a differences between the actual two products in the first place. However, for what it's worth, I would vote seperating the Famicom and the NES articles, as well. --Shadic 5 July, 2006

Merge Why not? NES ans SNES are combined with Super/Famicom, whats the big deal? There can just be an explination of the differences. Navarro 06:57, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

I don't see any reason to merge them, honestly. They look alike, but are very different in a number of respects (entirely different connectors, different purpose and role in their respective markets, etc.). An "NES redesigns" article just doesn't strike me as a particularly strong concept for a page: what's important in both cases is not how the AVF and the NES2 are different from each other, but how they're different from the original NES/Famicom. It just doesn't seem like there's enough overlap between the two to integrate them into one article effectively, and I honestly don't see what's preferable about one article divided into two essentially unrelated sections over just keeping both articles to begin with. I really don't see the problem: neither article is a stub, and there's not really any significant redundancy in the text or information. It seems a lot more sensible to keep them seperate at this point. – Seancdaug 07:00, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
